So glad Howard Stern talked about you because otherwise I would have not heard this music! It's fantastic!

[@keithboyce82]

Great tune man! I wish this kind of great music would get the props it deserves! thank you Mr. Vie for something worth listening to!

[@misterspookyman]

Two of the greatest power pop songwriters (Donnie and RMJ) of all time on one track. Can't believe it finally happened!

[@mr.dampmods8518]

Beatles , Elvis Costello .....simply FANTASTIC!!!

[@markblades6790]

One of the best voices in rock.

[@genghisquan3236]

Always loved Donnie's voice. His old band is not the same without his voice. I'm glad I found him again and he's still singing!

[@amipro380]

Wow!!! Donnie Vie and Roger Joseph Manning Jr.(JELLYFISH)..never thought I'd see the day! Roger has been all over the place since his days in Jellyfish, and could see the same for Donnie.. More of the same please!😁👍

[@stephengiffith1010]

Donnie you BETTER jam MORE like THAT YOUR fans and friends ARE shouting we want MORE of donnies rocking songs we WANT more

[@jimedmiaston4594]

Great, the bridge before solo is genius, always been totally floored by Vie’s melodies, but the background vocals are completely different level. Many times there are 3/4 vocals going on at the same time. Incredible writing. Nice mixing and production!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍🤙

[@heavenleeangeltalk8471]

Amazing!! -Michelle

[@MusiciansOnTheRecord]

[@Mordred478]

Donnie, as a musical creator who's your age, listening to this new song gives me hope, as clearly time has only honed your abilities. It's an awesome tune that is you distilled. I am proud and excited as hell that my picture will appear on the album cover.

[@javtimestwo]

i bought mine last night. i hope everybody here that is leaving exciting comments purchases the album as well. let's support DV and his new record because you can easily tell he put in a lot of hard work to make this record. BRAVO!

[@CrueLoaf]

Let's bring the good shit back!

[@stephengiffith1010]

It sounds like the good old shit i heard that night we OPENED for you guys man wired tracks was fun while it lasted

[@wlflightlr]

Great!!!

[@mannymccash9660]

It's true about the songwriting being vastly different between solo Donnie and solo Chip Znuff (and leaves no doubt about who really wrote the EZN hits) - Donnie's tunes have comparable quality to those hits, and Chip's are... completely different and sadly, showing very little musical or lyrical imagination. Nice job Donnie!

[@amipro380]

Agreed.. but there's no denying Chip's bass playing skill and ability.

[@cheaptrickfanatic3496]

I think you are, somewhat, diminishing Chip's input. He's a super talented guy. His work, apart from Donnie, hold up to some degree. Although, neither are as good, without each other. Just, seems to be, a reality.

[@dannystacy9824]

Awesome !!!!!!!

[@beckyelgin1289]

don e vie you rock brother

[@bravo2789]

Alright now.... Nice

[@jean-pierrestraub7530]

Can't wait to hear the whole album (and see my face on the cd cover !!)

[@leestokes8892]

Cool photo too 👍👍

[@MrDavidznuff]

I'd love to see some videos of the recording process in the studio.

[@jean-pierrestraub7530]

Donnie, if you happen to read this : when are we pledgers going to receive the actual "Beautiful things" CD ?

[@carolynmcgrath1778]

Be still my heart.

[@1unknowntalent]

Just wait until you hear the rest ✌🏼️❤️

[@annienilsson2296]

This is an amazing song. Just a shame that the world out there don't appreciate this kind of music. No, it's robotic auto tune crap. Awful. Donnie, you are fab. I wish you could save the world.

[@stephengiffith1010]

[@clysoniko]

Es una buena canción, Chip al menos mantiene undo a Enuff.

[@brockzilla1982]

Need lyrics

[@jeremiahmann15]

Much better than the fake shit that Chip is putting out. EZN isnt the same without you brother

[@nctpcymru1393]

Donnie it's connor from Swansea. Your biggest fan but don't get political with the odd line, you'll lose fans;) you've got the right to write anything you want of course, but you've got 100s of genius tunes that can't be simply faded and degraded in someones memory over political bollocks. Good tune though man.. See you soon hopefully.

[@TotalSinging]

Thank God decent production. But nothing really surprising song wise. Up tempo, melodic with tons of Beatle-esque harmonies. Not that it makes it bad - far from it - it's just unsurprising.

[@therealether1]

A better enuff znuff record than that crap chip put out

[@javtimestwo]

chip can't write or sing like Donnie. this has been proven since 1990. Chip just rides the coattails of Donnie and tries to take all the credit. Chip is a fraud!

[@countylinebrothers3430]

amazing tune!!!!!!!!!!!
