Really well crafted song here Jamey. Your vox are so clean and sincere and the delivery spot on. The lyrics leave the listener thinking and are well composed. The arrangement is simple but somehow unusual and magnetic and really carries the whole tune along perfectly. Love the minimalistic approach. Great song here.

What a great job on this one, Jamey. The flute in the intro was a perfect touch...set the tone for your heartfelt and touching lyrics. Really enjoyed this.

Jamey, Very very nice song... I tried to listen to it but it would only let me hear 30 seconds and then it would stop. Pretty weird.. I tried five times always getting to that one spot.. I can tell by the beginning that this is a lovely song. I read through the lyrics as well and I'm impressed! They are great! Good to hear you again.. It's been awhile for me.. Take care.. BOB

Howdy my dear friend, Jamey... Dude, I have been trying to get back to this point to be able to listen to this song since early Friday morning. I'm not going into details, but it's been a bear!!!! But it's worth it and your voice laying out these honorable and soothing lyrics, is a true reward!!!!! This is a beautiful piece of work!!!!! The guitar is warm with marvelous tone and the Indian flute was spiritual and proud, much like your vocal.....heart and soul my friend, heart & soul......and with the backbeat, the wholeness of this beautiful melody is rounded out into a powerful listen and a most enjoyable one at that!!!!!!!! Heart & Soul....I had to say it again, because this song expresses true spirituality and emotion with pride and embraces each and every word.....I don't have the words to express what I feel when I hear this song...... Just Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Respectfully....my friend, Wade
