This is definitely going to take a couple of listens to get to everything, but  Marino, you have done an outstanding job!! You showcase Lisa's strong vocals, and the music is just beautiful! So what took you so long?

Very seductive vocal work, build up is outstanding. I love it, but the output seems high? Maybe my headphone speakers are pusses. Lisa's vocals are PERFECT. Very sexy song here.

This is very kewl...... Great Vocals….. Produced very well....... I'm not crazy about the electric gtr tone, just a little too dark, but that’s just my personal preference.
Very Kewl Tune – Well Done

Very cool song. Love the vibe and how you haven't followed any formula. The vocals are great and I really like 'em in the quiet bit. The crunchy guitars sound good with drums! There's a lot of moods in this song!!
I'd bring the lead guitar up in the mix and put some more highs in there. I think I'm hearing some clipping.
Very coold song. Good job!

To use a very much used DMusic cliche, this is a musical journey. Great song and those vocals put shivers down my spine, so sweet and powerful at the same time. Love it. Great arranging as usual. Lead gtr, could be my headphones as they suck, could come forward a bit. I probably wouldn't have thought about it though unless someone already mentioned it. I'll restrain from analyzing any further.
Good job once more and again, those vocals are awesome!

Wow, very cool, I loved this song as an instrumental, the vocals are amazingly clear and with just the right amount of processing and very nicely sung.
I ran it through Soundforge and Harbal and there are parts where the mid-highs around 7-8 Khz get pretty strong actually, so I wouldn't add any more high end in there. As for clipping, there are a couple of clips, but none last for more than 2 samples so would be inaudible (you only need worry about clipping if it goes beyond 5 concurrent samples) and probably caused by the mp3 encoding, nothing to worry about. On the guitar solo near the end, you could maybe boost the 2.5 - 3 Khz on the lead a couple of dbs for a touch more presence this would not step on anything else, but it sounds pretty good.
Marino, you are a very talented musician and producer/engineer and this is high quality stuff. Listened through my better quality monitors and headphones and it's LUSH man.

WOW! When I streamed this song, I wasn't expecting a ten minute track. Fortunately, there's enough going on here to keep a listener's interest. It's starts out in a trance like, electronic mode and then adds an electric guitar sequence that is reminiscent of Evanescence in my opinion.
After all that is done, it moves to a quiet acoustic segment and then heats up with a rocking beat and more electric guitars. All of these parts could be separated into three separate songs.
Everything about the track is excellent in terms of the instrumentation, the vocals and the productions. I only wish that it didn't take so long to listen to it. You need at least two listens to digest the essence of this song fully.
Other than that, congratulations!
Well done!

Really interesting track with excellent production. Loved the multi-genre metamorphing. Evanescence? Maybe, but I was hearing Led Zeppelin. Nasty hum at the very end though. Hunt it down, isolate it, and kill it.

Wowsa!! This track is so fuckin' crazy and off the top. I like how this shows off all the different styles of music you can do Of course, the vocals were sung damn near perfectly. Just got to 5:15 and I LOVE that guitar you have going there. That's gorgeous  Your voice is full of emotion around this guitar part too. Then the drums come blasting in around 8:20. I love that drum line Wicked solo, I can see   Damn, this track had to have taken a while to plan out  More than 10:00 long but it still kept my attention all the way through, and that doesn't happen often I definitely applaud this work of fuckin' art

man, this one just bounces between genres doesn't it? er, not that that's a bad thing or anything. it actually fits quite well.. I was just thinking how it starts out sounding like Allyptic or Amaran, then twists its way into a sound that's closer to the Black Crows. very cool little journey to take. Production is beautifully smooth, though if I were to try to play the hopefully-helpful critic, I'd just agree with what a few others here have said.. the lead guitar tone could maybe be a little brighter.. y'know, give it a bit more edge in those high frequencies. not really necessary, really, but worth considering. all in all though, it's a very solid track. great performances all around, and it's impressive in that it can stay interesting for the whole ten minutes. that's no small feat!

Man, this intro already has me hooked. Smooth percussion....
Whoa, absolutely beautiful vocals on that first verse.
Killer sound on that electric guitar
Damn....another freaking rollercoaster ride of a song....Awesome, just awesome segues into the various part.
I just love how you use dynamics in this.....quite captivating.
I'm quite envious of the tone you're getting on the acoustic guitar, but the riff still reminds me somewhat of She Talks To Angels.
Damn fine guitar solo....oh and have I mentioned before how much I love the vocalist's voice....
I really enjoyed this...and I like the length personally, but if I were to market this song I would seriously consider shortening it
Great job, man!!!! Extremely impressive!!!

Wow this sounds fantastic firstly. It has an amazing level of energy that really changes in such great dramatic effect throughout its epic length.
I was planning on getting to bed early before this started but it was worth all the bags under my eyes. Fantastic production.
Lisa you sing like a true pro and most importantly you feel it. Marino you have produced another winner here. Well done. One of the most complete songs I have heard on this site in a long time.

Hands down this has got to be one of the best musical journeys I've been on in a while.
Your storytelling is seemless with all the right hooks.
Vocal delivery is powerful and demanding, all hitting that spot in me that makes me want to scream with the lyrics.
All of the performances are overwhelming and keep me on the edge of my seat with my wee toes bouncing to the groove.
The length of this epic saga looks a bit long but goes by in a heartbeat, which IMHO is a reflection of brilliant songwriting.
The production is outstanding if not flawless.
As for the arrangement...Jeez, I couldn't come up with something like this in my wildest dreams.
Beautiful work you guys!!!

and well so much has already been said...and well i'm inclined to agree with them all
great work here... if it werent for the vocals drawing it all together i would have thought it a sampler of an entire C.D. ....lovin the 80's lead solo!!!!!! very SLASH influenced... and lisa ...WHAT a FREAKIN VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great great work here.....

WAW... lots of contrast here in a multitude of directions - all very inspiring!
The progressive element is fantastic & really keeps this on it's toes.
Vocals are really pure, strong & rip your face off powerful... must just mention that they are incredibly well mixed too.
Just hitting the acoustic parts now & I am loving the tone - feels almost live but with great clarity & here come the vocals again - so dreamy & smooth.
This is a top-notch performance here, really well thought-out.
Very sweet lead solo - again nice tone & flow.
From start to finish - I was hooked!!!
