The Key
"J.O., man, I always dig your vocals as well as the top notch recordings you always bless us with. Man I hate to do this to ya, but that guitar solo is so Zappa it's ridiculous. I don't know many who sound like Frank.
Excellent man!

Wonderful composition. I sure hope you find the key!" (Mike Milillo, Indiehangout, 22.3.2007)

"This is a very cool tune which should have it's own genre name. Most different and an uplifting feel. Good vocals ; good harmonies; great lyrics. Like the progression. Nifty percussion. Love that great guitar solo. Wonderful. EXPRESSIVE Your vocals are perfectly right upfront. Great efx. Good arranging. Excellent production Simon. top marks" (Vesa, Mixposure, 23.3.2007)

"Der Sound besticht wieder mal von Anfang an. Transparent und druckvoll kommt das hier aus den Boxen. Ich höre zwar eher eine sehr schöne Pop-Nummer als Art-Rock, aber mit den Genres hier hab ich selbst ja auch so meine Schwierigkeiten. Wie dem auch sei, das ist Musik, die mir sehr gut gefällt und auch ruhig noch ein wenig länger hätte dauern dürfen. Das kurze Gitarrensolo ist sehr schön. Die Story gefällt mir ebenfalls." (The Healing Road, MyOwnMusic)

Am 18. März 2007 bei MyOwnMusic und bei Mixposure veröffentlichte Demoversion. Sie will kommen, aber der Schlüssel ist weg.

Text:

She said, she wants to come (Yeah),
So what can I do?
I can't get in
I've lost the key

Where is my key?
Where is my key?
I can't see though I'am not blind
I cannot find the key!

I got to find it.
It's not in my pocket
It's not in my car
It's not in my bag
But where is it?
What will she say?
Will she call me a bum?

Where is my key?
Where is my key?
She wants to come
But I can't get in! (Yeah)
