Yep, this is a good one all right.
Maybe I'm overthinking things - I'm in a Noel sort of mood
- but I noticed the verses rhymed
"don't come easily" and
"opportunity" with the
"ee" sound. Clever rhyming, rolls of the tongue and feels natural.
But the last verse broke the
"ee" rhyming pattern and instead used an inner rhyme
line up behind.
I have a tendency to fill up space with lots of notes. It's good to hear the opposite done so well - a song that lingers over the notes, isn't rushed at all, holding the melody.
And, of course, sung with the patented "straight from the heart" floydjane delivery, with subtle support from Janice.
Plus, I'm a sucker for cellos!
