Moonlight In Her Eyes

©2014 Robert Randall Burke


All the miles and all the trials
Along this winding trail
Nothing ventured nothing gained
And nothing if you fail
If I make it to the border
Will you remember me?
Will you remember Mexico
When you look out to sea?


Thinkin' bout redemption
Thinkin' bout remorse
Thinkin' bout this old boat
And how it went off course
Thinkin' bout Coast Highway
And California skies
Thinkin' bout a pretty girl
With moonlight in her eyes.


They're dancing in Laguna
On soft Pacific sands
Singing songs of vagabonds
With guitars in their hands
I'd like to go see Rosie
And talk about old times
I can bring the Cuervo
If you will bring the limes.





All BIAB (except one cymbal crash ). Will post memo later. Thanks for listening.

That was almost a Jimmy Buffet song.

I enjoyed that quite a bit.

I hope you plan to post the tracks used.

Really great mix on this. An excellent production.

I really enjoyed the lyrics and the vocals.

Great job.

Very enjoyable, Bob - nice story details in the lyrics and very good vocals.
I also like that swirling organ in the background.

Robert

Hi 90 dB, Great intro to this! really soothing and calm. the Organ really helps glue the elements together. Nice work!

Hi Bob,

This is a really nice, relaxing song. Your usual great vocals and a super arrangement spotlight this one. The mix is really good. All around ... a really terrific listen! Wishing you the very best,

Alan

Good song! Love the lyrics and vocal. Great backtrack also, very impressed with the drums the way you did the double fill, did you use BIAB to generate the drum track?

Lovely tune Bob. Super vocal. I agree with Herb this really reminded me of a Jimmy Buffet tune. Well done

"Thinkin' bout redemption
Thinkin' bout remorse
Thinkin' bout this old boat
And how it went off course
Thinkin' bout Coast Highway
And California skies
Thinkin' bout a pretty girl
With moonlight in her eyes."

Mr. Burke... this is SUCH a fine write! I could have quoted the entire song - it is strong from start to finish.

The melody - every bit a match for the lyric. Well sung - as always.

Good songwriting? It should be posted and let it speak for itself... Robert Randall Burke - leading by example...

I look forward to each of your songs.

Bob, this is really good. I really like the lyrics. They do a good job of drawing you in. And the backing is very well done. Your vocals are excellent, as usual.

I like it!

Steve

Great class has been shown here, Bob.

Mellow, and sentimental, delivered with a great set of lyrics.

I really liked the suddenness of the build. A real winner.

Excellent write, arrangement, performance and production. You hit every mark on this one.

The superb vocal and smooth piano opening struck me as very much a Charlie Rich vibe when he was having a good hair day....

Loved this.

Charlie

Great write, Bob. I got some real Springsteen ballad vibes from this. The instrumental in the chorus is phenomenal. Excellent work!
