The first single from Mike Pasarella is a return to the age old stylistic sensibilities of a classic rock tune in every which way. Pasarella stuns with his deeply evocative vocal performance, constantly shifting tone and power in each line almost. The loving but achingly painful tune narrates Pasarella letting go of a relationship that seemed eternal. He acknowledges the need for change, the bettering qualities it can lend the pair of them if they accept its bound to happen and that another path can open up. The arrangement doesn’t try to be outlandish, sticking to the bells and whistles that makes a ballad special. A soft opening, a beamingly powerful chorus, and a closing cathartic section that brings it all to a fulfilling albeit bittersweet closure.
A powerful first entry into the world of music from an artist with a special voice.
