This is an early effort, so I don't have any file info, but I remember I started with a guitar track (my trusty 1968 Guild F30) and built some synths over it. Dedicated to Penelope on our 40th Anniversary coming up on Jan 25th. WAV File: https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/sheMP3: https://soundcloud.com/90-db/sheShe ©2002 Robert Randall Burke She Is my whole world She's my best girl One of a kind is she. She Never complains She just remains free That's what she needs to be. I've traveled the whole wide world Hopin' to find a girl Just like a perfect pearl Then, just when I'd given up She came and filled me up With all of the love you see. She She said “I Do” One became two For all of the world to see She She lights the way She makes me stay The love of my life is she. I've traveled the whole wide world Hopin' to find a girl Just like a perfect pearl Then, just when I'd given up She came and filled me up With all of the love you see. To Penelope.... The love of my life. Merry Christmas! Bob

Hi Bob.
First of all, Happy Anniversary to you both for January!
Well, you already know I'm a great fan of your vocals, but that has to be about the best I've ever heard you sing. I can't fault it in any way.
And what about that song! So moving, so beautiful. Penelope must be thrilled.
My wife has just said what an old romantic you are and why don't I write things like that. Hey ho...
You're gonna find it hard to follow that amazing track.
Have a great Christmas,
Regards, Roger.

Bob, Congrats on your upcoming anniversary. This is a great vocal. Beautiful melody and says so much with an economy of words. Excellent work. Tom I agree!! The drawn out notes in the chorus and beautiful melody reminds me of Righteous bros, Gary Puckett, or Roy Orbison. Very, very sweet song!! Take care. Greg

Bob,
I love the way your voice soars on those beautifully held notes ( I thought I was listening to Burton Cummings), and the song is simply lovely. The synths are a nice backdrop...( could have been strings?) but really the song is so good it doesn`t need more sweetness added. Very enjoyable.
Robert

Hi 90Db, Excellent work! That guitar sounds very crisp and bright. The pads in the background make for a full sound. Great job! 
Cheers, Joe

Bob,
Definitely your best vocals ever! Some high notes here and there where you're taking a risk and succeed ;-) (I always like it when people do that). Beautiful composition!

The drawn out notes in the chorus and beautiful melody reminds me of Righteous bros, Gary Puckett, or Roy Orbison. Very, very sweet song!! Take care. Greg Greg, again, said just what I thought. (Gary Puckett! Again!) This melody is gorgeous. As always, the writing is sparse and stunning. Your economy of words astounds me (I just noticed...Tom already said that, too!). Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Anniversary! fj

ROG, Thanks for the kind words. It's funny- I actually got offered a contract on this song from a producer in Nashville (Jim Pierce). I was thrilled. Then, I took it to an entertainment attorney in Miami to have it checked out. The attorney told me if I signed the contract I would be giving the rights away for $50.  I didn't sign.  Merry Christmas! Regards, Bob

Noel,
Thanks for the kind words. 40 years of marriage is a long time, but I hit the lottery with Penny and wouldn't change a minute of it!
Merry Christmas!
