Tommy, What a nice song. In a sensitive way you tell about a hard reality. I smiled as I listened, seeing the story of my elders in your song. That, for a songwriter is my greatest compliment. This is wonderful. G F Fred, Thank you for the wonderful compliment. Tom A very powerful write and testament to your overall extraordinary musical skills. Compelling images in your lyrics with the right feel and vibe from the backing instrumentation. Although I did not have a deep emotional connection to the story because my parents both died young, 46 and 57, I was able to connect from what I saw other families faced with aging parents. This is a good song.
Charlie Charlie, I wasn't quite sure I was going to post this song. It is quite personal and a bit sad. However I was talked into it by the insightful Bud Merritt who mentioned in his earlier comments that he hoped people in the same situation could relate and feel less alone. It also is relevant to most of us here cause we ain't getting any younger. Thank you for your generous comments. Tom Just amazing.
Excellent in so many ways.... from the insightful lyrical word-smithing... to the instrumentation to the superbly recorded guitar to the clear and emotion filled vocal delivery.
It's sad when we have to see our parents in a situation such as this. I lost my mom just about a year ago now. She was well into her mid 90's. She never lost her sharp wit until just a few days before she passed. We all were so fortunate in that respect. I remember a month before she passed, we were setting there discussing something that happened back when my sister and I were kids. Mom chimed in... "Oh No, no, no.... that's not how it happened.... " then she proceeded to set the record straight, and she was absolutely right.
This song is such a poignant, and well written look at the issues facing all of us as we age.... and complete our life's journey. And it's done with finesse and grace.
One of your best. Herb, I wanted to tell you that you indirectly helped with this. I originally recorded it in Studio One. I have been thinking of switching my DAW. Because I don't know what I am doing it was recorded way too hot - also the ending was a mess. I had Bud preview it and he told me to do whatever I could to make it work. I couldn't salvage the track but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to recapture the vocal and the lead. Then I remembered what you said somewhere along the line " If I played it once I can play it again" - That solved that problem and I started from scratch in Logic. Thank you for your wonderful comments. My Dad was very sharp till the end but my Mom suffered with Alzheimer's. We are both very lucky to have them for so long. Best, Tom
