Comments on "Out of Harms Way" sound clip

There seems to a lot going on in this tune. The first 30 seconds of the sample I wasn't able to hear anything I specifically liked, but then there is a really neat geetar moment where the song really picks up. I need to listen to this A LOT more I think...

When Jonathan Cain said he had penned a tune about the topical subject U.S. soldiers fighting and dying for our country, I never anticipated its tempo to be nearly so upbeat.
Perhaps this song is even more catchy than it really has any right to be (given its morose subject).

Nonetheless, its is def. a rocker of sorts (sounds a little Tall Stories-ish), I really need to hear the whole thing for this one. I am intrigued. I like it when bands take risks (and so far Generations seems to be absolutely ladden with those).

I think its safe to say that if the guys were still at Sony, with their "play-it-safe" edict, a song like this would have never made it out the front gates.

I am glad this is not a sappy, corny ballad, which I thought it may be from the subject matter. Let country music churn out cornball patriotic songs. This is a good rock song with a great message, not over the top at all.

So far, Neal must be in guitar heaven. This CD rocks and still showcases the groups incredible vocal talents.

It's great that these soundbytes are being released so fans attanding the shows early in the tour will at least be familiar with some on the songs, or at least the first 1:30 of them! Many thanks, Andrew.

I agree that I expected a slower song for the subject matter...but this track sounds great!! Now that I have heard five clips from the CD I can honestly say "HELL YEAH!!"

This is a great song! What a great tribute to warriors, who are after all just brave souls standing tall and keeping out of Harm's Way.

After having the CD for a few days, this song is really standing out to me now. I think it is my 2nd fave song on here now (after TPIYH).

This song tells a story.. I like the way it moves into a new chapter. After the first stanza, Neals guitar wails and changes gears for the 2nd verse..

Very nice melody, chorus, and just enough bite to make this a radio(Rock FM) song.

Allow me to thank you in the public eye of the forum, RockN. As a newbie I have no right to leech off your largesse but .... I'm not above it! and I think I can safely speak for those who got it off you, we really appreciate it. I will be buying at least 1 official version when the time comes, too so please, no one hit me up for trying to rip the boyz off.

Also could Dean, NealGod, 28 or someone who has the tour version let me know what artwork looks like?

The artwork is the same as the CD posted on www.journeymusic.com and the back label lists the songs over similar art.
