Wow this is really epic and well weird!!! The intro music is just beautiful!!
Lyrically Its like everything has been winded up like a big toy and the pace and everything it sooooo darn trippy!!!!!!
This is far out far for now!!!
It also reminds me of some sort of Super Hero Anthem, perhaps its an anthem for all Moms out there?
Whatever it is to me it bloody good and i have enjoyed listening the 2 times i have so far and I think I'll be back for a download soon!!

the beginning reminds me of some soundtrack, i cant remember
i like the lyrics, non-stop guitars not given much importance, although they're still in the foreground, i like it
vocals are a bit different this time, i like that
love the synth-work... awesome job on that
nice collab, no doubt

Very very nice gene, I like the key arrangements the most, and the singing which reminds me of marillion. The other best thing here to me is the morfology of the song.
Cheers on you all!

The things that struck me the most were the awesome arrangement, the passion and emotion - a powerful track with a real depth of feeling. Excellent performance - a track that touches the soul

Fantastic harmony lead guitar sound.
Very cool lush keyboards. The bass and drums could be brought up in the mix a bit IMHO. Excellent vocal harmonies and melody.....although it seemed like you were 'holding back' a bit in terms of the vocal performance, maybe it's the mix. Sounds a bit like something I heard by Julian Lennon, but I can't remember the name of the tune. It sounds good, but with a few tweeks here and there, it could easily be great.
Nice job!!!

Hark! The Herald   The opening made me think it was going to be a Christmas tune, and then the lyrics made me think of Angels. Maybe this will be a new generation Christmas Song. 
You have such a huge sound. I guess I would have to add some keys to my music to get it to sound this big.
I really like the spoken parts best. And the stereo field at the end is very clean.

As the gently orchestral intro blossomed into anthemic drama, this reminded me of something It's a Beautiful Day might do, or maybe The Flock.
I have to give points to anyone who has the guts to do the dramatic reading thing in a song. It's not that "out there", really...I mean, it was kind of a staple of the Motown sound...it's just that I, personally, have chickened out every time I've planned on doing one of those (on the plus side, the vocal melodies I've improved in the process have worked out alright).
There's plenty of both musicians' identity, character to this. I'd bet that if you would have quizzed me by asking, "Name two DMusic artists who have worked together before who collaborated on this", I would've gotten it right.
Shadowmom's lyrics work well for a different reason entirely. They read very much like Farfor44's other work- universal themes, poetically yet accessibly expressed.
Niiiiice...

Musically this is wonderful, grabs you right from the start.
I have tried the spoken thing a couple times, but then dead rock stars come out of their graves and beat me up so I don't try it no more. They don't fight that good, but it's still sad they would try.  Leave 'em in R&R Heaven I always say.
You, on the other hand pull it off well & all dead rock stars are resting peacefully. I really like the way it weaves in with the singing parts too.
Class passages in here, gotta listen a couple times to catch them all.
Lyrically it is a masterpiece too, very emo without being cheesy. I dig the guitar tones too. Yep. I can hear elements of each of you in this, which is the definition of a first class collaboration. Bravola

Nice track! I like the guitar and the vocal harmonies, though I would like to hear the rhythm section a little more prominent in the mix, as any kick and bass are almost swallowed. The lyrics are wonderful... maybe I'll recruit a lyricist myself one of these days, as my dislike for writing them is the #1 thing stopping me from recording sometimes. The sound at the end of the track is really cool.

A really creative piece with terrific guitars lyrics vocals and production and did i mention a very very catchy piece of music. Love that outro !!!

Nice layered instruments and build up, keeps the listener entertained long enough  I particularly like the guitar in this
The la la la part has a vague sort of 'Beatles' feeling to it (imo) which is nice.

Yay! Very sweet. Everything is beautiful, if mostly unintelligible. There's just so much wonderful stuff going on here. Fantastic insanely happy strings. They really boost this to musical ecstacy in a totally wholesome way, though I think that 3:17 cymbal roll takes the cake. Rock on you guys!
Just bring those vocals up in the mix.

This song is great! I can just picture the song being a part of a movie, right at the end, where the character learns a valuable lesson. Great message and great lyrics.
Love the vocals and I've always been a big fan of harmonies. Great job there! The guitar tone is really cool and the lead work is outstanding. I like those slow, bluesy leads.
Great job! Wicked song!
