Hello Rodrica! How are you! A great song! You have a signature sound, You hit the marks! Your sincere lyrics remarkably still frozen in time.
Unfortunately, here it is almost summer and still snowing.
Great lyrics. You describe such a common occurrence. Revisiting this one. Excellent vocals and production.
another great piece, your ability to mix/produce (and arrange) these tracks, blending all elements so precise sees every listen reveal nuanced sounds one didn't hear prior, - excellent and professional work!
Looking forward to your next!
great mix (perfect mix!) and musically it's got EJ vibes throughout especially so in chorus, just so good and wonderfully melodious! Lyrics are brilliant but so is entire song (excellent vocals!), very cool composition and performance!
Wow, this one would sound great in bond movie!! Show tune setting!
Nice one Rodrica! 😎👍
