Please Won't You Let Me Go Home

Wow - this is a great tune, RichMac

There are some incredible lyrics in this one, and it sounds so hauntingly beautiful paired with the gentle music. I enjoyed everything about this. Your mother's vocals were a great addition too.

Fantastic job on this - thanks for sharing!

Richard & Shirley-Louise...

Beautifully done. Loved hearing the two of you singing together!

A sad song.

Sounds like Shirley has been threatening to leave for a long time...

This really sticks in your head...

Really touching lyrics, and great tune.

Rich, as others have noted, you have some nice lyric content here and I like your instrumentation choices! Thanks, Torrey

Man I love this!

The vocals from Shirley-Louise really make it.

Thanks for doing this. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Rich

Very touching and well done. As floyd said it sticks n your head. Nice vocal interplay.

Peter

Hi Deryk,

I'm delighted that you enjoyed this.
The lyrics are all part of my wife Shirley-Louise's story.
She's 82 and i'm 78. Old people.
Thank you for your support.

Cheers.

Hi Floyd

Thanks for your sympathetic comments.
Shirley's become a child again and needs most of my time and energy.
Thank goodness she's still mainly a happy person.
Frustrating at times though.
Ah well, we all get old if we don't die first.

Cheers.

Lots of sentiment in those lyrics. Great effort both you. Rob

So glad I decided to listen in on this, and to understand the story behind it!
Loved the autoharp component.
Also loved how lyrically you approached the topic.
I'll bet Shirley loves hearing what you've done together.
Your project will stick with me.

The lyrics are so beautiful! It sounds like they were really thought out. Really fantastic job!

Man, does that ever pull at the heartstrings. We're glad for you, for her and all of us that you "got on with it" because it resulted in a very touching production that gives us all pause for reflection.

"Thank goodness she's still mainly a happy person." Indeed.

Thanks for sharing this with us....

Cool tune. Very folk orientated. Good job to both of you.

Very cool tune Richard. Love the feel of the backtrack. Very emotional lyric. Super vocals. Well done..

Richard, I bet Shirley will enjoy singing along with this in the future so it’s a good thing you got it down on tape. You handled the content well. You definitely have a knack for that sort of thing. I enjoyed my listen and I hope you both remain happy, Tom

Hi David,

Thank you for listening.
We're glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers.

Thanks Torrey

Your comments are appreciated.

Thanks David

Shirley gave up singing quite a few years ago but happy to say she enjoyed this little song so I must try to write some more for her.

Cheers.

Hi Peter

Been trying to write more memorable songs for a while now.
It seems simplicity and repetition are the key.

Cheers.

Thanks Rob,

We appreciate the nice comments.

Cheers.

Thank you for listening Tano.

The song has given Shirley quite a boost.
She is chuffed with the lovely comments. So am I.

Cheers.

Hi Ember

Tried to stick to reality with the lyrics.
Thanks for your lovely comments.

Cheers.

Hi J&B

Always thanks for your support.
It is indeed a privilege to have such a wonderful audience listen to
and comment on our efforts.

Cheers.

Richard,

Very moving - probably one of the most personal songs I`ve ever heard on this forum.Your duet with Shirley is wonderful; thank you for sharing those moments with us.

Robert

Rich,

Very beautiful and touching... You have something really special here.

Bob

WOW this is fantastic!

This the most heart felt that I have ever heard. The duet was an added attraction!

Super job on this!

Thank you Herb.

Was a good project for both of us.
Be nice if Shirley would sing a bit more.

Cheers.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the support.
Hadn't noticed the autoharp before.
May use it again.

Cheers.

Hi Tom,

Thanks in particular for your good wishes.
Happiness is a bit of a roller coaster but we certainly have our moments.
And yes we are both very pleased with this one.

Cheers.

Hi Robert,

I wondered about putting it up but Shirley was ok with it and her son Peter was also so we went ahead.
I hope others can relate to it.
Thanks for listening.

Cheers.

Hello, Richard

This song has a really nostalgic melody.
I feel as if I heard it somewhere when I was a child.
And your instrumentation choices have ingenuity as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Thank you Bob,

We enjoyed it.
Now to try and think of more ways to involve Shirley-Louise.

Cheers.

Hi Mario.

Thanks for your touching comments.
I'm a little surprised this one went so well.

Cheers.

Hi Shigeki.

We are delighted that you enjoyed this effort.
There's and old country waltz 'Give you a daisy a day'
A favourite of mine.
Tried to capture some of the feel of it.

Thanks and Cheers.

You've done a terrific job on this little waltz... it really pulls on the heart...

Thanks for that Jim.
Much appreciated.

Cheers.

Richard and Shirley-Louise,

I absolutely loved this!

I'm a big fan of waltzes and really enjoyed travelling along with you on this one. The lyrics are sad but they so aptly reflect the essence of life. There's a very timeless quality in your writing. Even now, nearly 10 minutes after listening, I can still here the song really clearly in my mind.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening.

All the best to you both,
Noel
