Not real sure on this one.
Really wanted to show off the bent note piano style.
This song is fictitious and is about noticing problems too late.
Men tend to do that.
Hope you like it. All comments welcome. Rob4580

So Long

I saw you leaving in the reflection of my beer.
I saw you leaving and you never shed a tear.
I bid you well so long.
I bid you well goodbye goodbye goodbye

Although this is Sunday, feels like Monday as you go.
Your car leaves the drive way, will you miss me I'll never know.
I bid you well so long.
I bid you well goodbye goodbye goodbye

Now our home is empty oh so empty I could die.
The clock upon the mantle slowly marks the time go by.
I bid you well so long.
I bid you well goodbye goodbye goodbye

Rob,

Very nice indeed. I've always got time to listen to a 'tears in the beer glass' (floyd's phrase, I think) song.

Regards,
Noel

Good vocals and good lyrics. But I think your instincts that "Not real sure on this one." are right.

For me, there is a bit of a disconnect between the music and lyrics and the song never quite finds its groove or vibe.

It has a lot of potential and deserving of your time to revisit.

I liked that, Rob. The write was well done for this type song.
(I was expecting the piano to play a bigger role - maybe carry the last verse...)

Good mix.

We've always loved the "tears in your beer" country sub-genre.
It certainly centers on the oft written topic but is a fresh take
on it, e.g., "Although this is Sunday, feels like Monday as you go"
is unexpected but really works.

The write, the vocal and the arrangement are all just different
enough from the typical song of this genre to make it
stand out. By the second listen some of the
nuances missed the first time were coming through.

We can understand your ambivalence about it but we like
where it landed!

Hello, Bob

This is the first time that I’ve listened to your song. Very nice voice and vocal.
The guitar in the beginning and the piano in the interlude were very impressive.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

I saw you leaving in the reflection of my beer

Great opening line!! This song really has great emotion-you sell the melancholy very well with your vocal! Arrangement and mix are perfectly matched to the vibe. Excellent job with this! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg. When my wife listened to the song she started crying and that surprised me.
Thank you for your in-depth comment.
