When Bruce Springsteen came out with the deluxe edition of "The River" he did a little piece for HBO, pretty informal, he sat with his acoustic guitar and played parts of songs from those sessions and told stories about the inspirations for songs and things. I thought, well, I can write something with the river as a kind of metaphoric centerpiece and did so very quickly and couldn't figure out why I wasn't happy with it, not that I thought it would compare to Bruce's good work. I set it aside for a good while and then turned to one of our strong prolific regular writers here. The answer? missing furniture! There's nothing wrong with a feelings song but I love furniture, love creating scenery and images, oh well the chorus has an image an even if you don't like the song, dig this style Folk Rock with Piano, it's awesome! I'm usuing Logic Pro for all my vocals now and love how clean it sounds and how easy it is to use. Thanks for listening and commenting, great group of people here.

Really, really, really NICE Kenny!! All your songs are just so hypnotic and easy to listen to. Some great lyrics here, and you sing it so well. And, you're right about "the band"-very inspiring combination of instruments. I'm going to have to play with that one! You are a hell of a writer!! Take care. Greg

Kenny,
Like Greg, I am a real fan of your writing. I'm also a fan of your sound. You always seem to put together just the right "band" to get a song across and make it special... just as you have done here. There is the "Boss element", but it is still your own.
I like this more every time I hear it.

This is great Kenny, sort of Bruce-influenced, but very uniquely you as your own artist. It has a "voice" to it.
Congratulations. Great job.

Guenter Thanks Guenter, I'm usuing a plate reverb on harmonies and got kind of a natural big room spread sound, I'll definitely use it again.

floyd Thanks so much for the very kind words, I think the early Bruce influence is important to both of us, you reflect it very well in your writing. Thanks for the encouragement.

"From a deafening silence To an unspoken scream Feel the anger building And I know what it means"
"unspoken scream" Wow...this is a fine write and the vocals support it so well. The feel is, as Greg said, hypnotic.
And then there's the production with it's great soundstage. The piano and drums are just outstanding on my monitors.
We most enjoyed it. Nice one for the SC playlist!
J&B

Hi Kenny, This is a great write, from lyrics to composition; the way that piano slurs and rolls throughout the song. I loved it. Black Velvet

I'm late to the party and everything that I wanted to say has been said.
Everything about this is pro all the way. That plate reverb on the harmonies is perfect. Your instrumentation is perfect also.
Two thumbs up.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Very solid write. I like the contrast in the legato chorus and more staccato verses.
much enjoyed!
