I love this happy-sounding song juxtaposed with these pretty ominous lyrics! The line “at least you’ll have something to do” in the chorus really adds to that contrast for me, between the two “baby it’s yous.” Great stuff!

This comes right out and gets your attention! It has the sound of a song that you might have a few drinks to. Definitely has an ear wormy quality, as it will probably be in my head all day! I like the empowering message in this, as I initially thought it was a love song with the title. Super cool!

Old style rock with new thinking (at least the new face part). What’s not to like ?

I've been complaining about my voice for several years--and did once this year at the beginning (because I genuinely don't like the "old man" wavering that is starting to show up)--but nobody here will ever be straight with you on that. That being said--COME ON, your voice sounds just fine! ;-) Great song! ❤️

I love the guitar intro and I frikkin love the melody of this tune. Love the way the lyrics flow within the music. Those short phrases make a pleasing flow that's so catchy. I found myself singin "Aw Baby it's you", and waiting for it to come around again....then when it stopped I had to hit play again to get my "Aw Baby it's You" fix. Just an awesome hook...Beatles be damned!! The leads interspersed are perfect...not too complex...just the right icing on a really tasty cake!! Now as for the vocals...honestly.... they are excellent!! You may have been struggling, but that's not what I hear... I hear a slightly different and more gritty slant of your vocals, and I think it works extremely well. Every note right on point and even the Sha la la is sweetly performed. I really enjoyed the lyrics and the upbeat message they so excellently convey. Lines like "fresh squeezed beginnings, unsullied embrace"....wonderful wordsmithing!! I love that at the end, she finds out she was different all along, without changing a thing!! Great song John.. I loved it alot!!

You're obviously a master of the this kind of Americana rock song, and this is another great example. The driving music, full of energy and passion; the uplifting, encouraging, empathetic lyrics; just the overall rootsy vibe. This one's got everything.

(And I commend you for continuing your musical output despite your illness--great work ethic! 😀 )

Electric guitar lead grabs you right at the start! Hey, titles can't be copyrighted, so I say it's not an issue - maybe if you changed a couple of notes in the 'sha-la-la part'...

Ah, yes, when I saw the title, I did go there… But this is a fresh new twist on those same 3 words. Very catchy! Especially with those drums taking me back to the 70s.

Curse those snuffleupagus tubes!!!! Mine gave me tinnitus today on only the left ear :-(. Hope you get better soon.

Lyrics make me think - you cant ever run away from yourself - but it doesnt stop most of us trying from time to time

Sickness be damned, this was really enjoyable! I found myself nodding along from the outset, and later humming along to the catchy chord progression and melody. I do love me an anthem of positivity, and what’s not to absolutely dig about a line like “ walk a brave pathway your freak flag unfurled” amen to that!

real good commercial song. and i like your singing on this. i was sick the first week of fawm. my voice was shot. it was so bad i had to find new ways to sing ,and the result was a change of vocal pace and some interesting tracks. on first playback, i decided to redo them but after a few listens, i realized i had to maintain the integrity of the flaws,

Your disclaimers just made me laugh so hard. Anyways, this song is great, I really enjoyed the flow of your lyrics and the awesome guitar playing. The lyric: "fresh squeezed beginnings unsullied embrace" is awesomeness. Hope you start to feel better soon!

Lovely lyric so well structured. Some of us have less to lose with sickness not like you - I know it sucks to be sick but its a darn good effort. Its a really good song and those guitars sound fit and well! Love the OOOO baby its you!

Hope you feel better soon. Liking the guitars a lot. Vocalizing while sick sucks big giant sized nasty tasty lollipops but this actually sounds pretty darn decent. I like the optimism in the face of challenges that comes from the chorus. I feel happy that you were able to get something in spite of the ickness.
