WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING…
about the most recent single, “Young Love” (CA ’88)
Yes! What a stellar tune. And I love the memories conjured in the lyric. I can see your California.
I love this song. I know it say this is a fav with every song, but THIS IS THE ONE!
Missing the no problems and no worries! Song sounds great, nicely done. Looking forward to the full release!
I love love the vibe of this song and the message of loging for a simpler time. Groovy but definitely has a tinge of heartbreaking nostalgia in there. Way to go DT!
