Here are some quotes from the reviews that made these awards possible:
" I love the lyrics. They sound like the story of my 20's. In love and heartbroken. The lyrics are unique and stray from using the same cliche words and phrases heard in a lot of ballads. The mood of the song is perfect. The mood is set by the strong melodic guitars and keys. The sound is pretty unique...I like the feel and structure to the song. I especially like the unexpected banjo solo around 3:00. Very solid effort. Keep up the good work. I'm putting this song in my playlist, bro'." - Cueball721 from Spring, Texas on 17Dec2006
"Nice smooth sound off the beginning...Vocals come in and establish a good feel. As the chorus sets in, I can hear a really good hook...I really like the lyrics. And the voice is totally within the singer's range, the high note really puts the lyrics forward and gives the frustration of the singer a placement. The rhythm and groove holds well, and keeps my interest. I really like the way the rhythm takes a new form at the bridge." - Rahbil from Louisville, Kentucky on 17Dec2006
"This song is well crafted and I think the vocals and instruments are all performed quite well...I really did like the break down in the song--nice touch. I think this is a good band with good players and skill at song writing. I think the music is interesting." - PufferFish from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on 15Dec2006
"This song could fit perfectly into a movie soundtrack. Something like an independent film. The mood is awesome, you really feel inside the song while listening...when listening to the track, you can almost picture a scene from a movie. Very good, keep it up." - uptownterminal from Deltona, Florida on 6Dec2006
" I like the build of the arrangement, and the parts have a subtlety that keeps you interested...This song to me is all about mood. I'd easily see this...in an episode of Scrubs, or Smallville or the like. I guess that says something about the sound, as well -- pensive, emotional...I think the track is also strongly engineered, and the mix sells the movement of the piece as the layers are added through the ending of the song...Well done." - BuzzkillAllStar from Jersey City, New Jersey on 29Nov2006
