A collaboration, delightful lyrics by Francis Smith, from an old 50/90, finally finished. A song with no particular rhymes. Can't say I miss them.
Hope you enjoy it.

Beautiful song. Excellent vocal and what a lovely lyric. The organ was perfect for that backtrack. I think this is my favorite song you have done. Well done.

Good job here, RichMan It's a very pretty tune, and I have to agree with Scott in that the vocals are excellent, and lyrics really add to it as well. I found it really easy to close my eyes and get lost to.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!

Rich
This is very very pretty. Can’t say I miss the rhymes either.

Very nice! Never thought about the presence or absence of the rhymes...it just worked.

Those two RT's were spot on for backing the vocal.

Thanks for sharing

What else is there to say? The vocals are wonderful and it's a beautiful song. You did a great job.

This is really cool man! That new beard of yours has given you some new inspiration!!!

Very nicely done.

Rich,
The beautiful lyric is oddly more interesting for the lack of rhyme and your vocal carries the song`s reflective feel.
Well done!

Robert

Great work on this RichMac! I really enjoyed the organs, they fit with your vocals very well! Nice work!

Touching.

Tender.

How 'bout that...

Nice, Richard (and Francis).

Great work Rich. Thanks for listing. Rob

It's a favourite of mine also.

Thanks for the comment David and
Oh dear! to the beard inspiration.
Cheers.

Thank you Ed.
Sorry to be so slow in replying.
Got bogged down with other songs.
Cheers.

Thank you Robert.
Perhaps the lack of rhyme adds to the indecisive slightly lost feel of the lyrics.
Cheers.

Rich

A nice melody, with a restrained backing, and a good set of lyrics.
Nice work.

What a lovely song, reminds me of Kris Kristoffersons style a lot

Even without a rhyme, this is very poetic!! I think the "band" was perfect for this song, and this may be my favorite ever vocal of yours! Very sweet song!! Take care. Greg

Thank you Joe. Glad you enjoyed it all.
The organ RT is one I like a lot because its not too busy.
Can be used in many contexts.
Cheers.

Hi Floyd.
I always look forward to and enjoy your comments.
And yeah, I have to try to be nice some times.
Francis lyrics are so appealing.
Cheers.

Hi Rob.
Thanks for the comment.
Have been enjoying lots of your songs lately.
Good one. Cheers.

Thanks Peter for such supportive comments.
I think melody is particularly important and I am trying to get away from droning on in a monotone so glad you mentioned it.
Cheers.

Hi Graham.
Delighted that you mentioned Kristofferson.
Best wishes and Cheers.

Thanks Greg.
Wonderful comments.
Thanks for you encouragement.
Best wishes.
Cheers.

Very nice song with great feeling.
Well done.

Hello, Rich

Simple, but very beautiful!
Good melody.
The way to use C#m and D is very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Rich, I agree with Dani that this is one of your best! Good work on those vocals and the bright wet reverb sounds at the beginning really seem appropriate! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Rich.

In my opinion, this is the best if the songs you've posted in the 5+ years I've been here. Your voice reveals your passion for the song. This is a really wonderful song and presentation. This is wonderful work, Rich.

Merry Christmas.

Alan
