Great relaxing tune, enjoyable chord progression, like going back to 70's. Everything in place in the arrangement and the sax is the cherry on the top. It is also amazing how the music and lyric together create the melancholy sea atmosphere. And not to forget the superb vocals by one of the best vocalists on this forum. One of the best songs of the year so far  Janne

Greg,
This is so beautiful and so powerful.
"On distant shores, fires warm the homes
Families share an evening meal and no one feels alone
But on the sailing ships, emptiness abounds
The ocean sings a low, sad hymn to this hopeless lost and found"
Amazing writing.
Gorgeous production.
I could listen to this all day long...
We are lucky to be witness to your talent...

Greg,
You certainly know how to shape a melody, choose the right notes and craft the best words so that a person's heartstrings resonate. The ambience you create with your composing, your singing and your arranging is magical. To my ears, everything about this is first class music.
All the best,
Noel

Gorgeous Greg. Loved the chord progression, especially the part during "sailing ships...." in the chorus, love that diminishment (even if it isn't a diminished chord per se) and the sax solo is wonderful.
Your vocals are outstanding here. Really, really good.
And the lyrics are superb.

Beautiful vocal Greg. Am a little late posting as I was down traveling around in your home state for about a week. Pretty hot down there for this Canadian kid.
Loved your vocal, lyric and backtrack. Well done

Hey Greg,
This is very nice. Everything sits together well. The sax sounds great! So does your vocal. The transition to Sailing Ships is cool. I like the strings too... Great Job! Thanks so much Greg. Much appreciated! Been loving your stuff lately! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg.
Your music, vocals and lyrics are so tasteful and evocative of the scenes described.
The two pieces certainly belong together.

A superb piece Greg, with lovely changes that reflect the shifting emotions of the lyrics. Expertly sung, arranged and engineered. Sounds like this will be a pretty impressive collection of songs.

Greg,
A really pretty piece and it compliments the Lighthouse Keeper track perfectly.
Really nice up front vocal and the track has been beautifully mixed with the haunting sax playing a strong role.
Very atmospheric and well composed.
Peter
Thanks Peter, I was glad to finally find a home for this long lost melody. I felt like it really fit with the Lighthouse keeper lyrically and melodically. Thanks for your support. I'm diggin' the songs your posting! Take care. Greg

Greg,
I really like this song - excellent lyric and vocal. Your mix is also great - loved the sax.
Bob Thanks Bob! Much appreciated. The sax RT just happened to fit really well-had a custom feel. I love it when that happens! You're doing a lot of great stuff lately!! Take care. Greg

This is over the top good. The lighthouse light is shining bright. Looking forward to release of your CD. You are one of my favorite vocalists on the forum, or anywhere for that matter. This is a very sophisticated write, arrangement, mix, performance and production. Enjoyed this one a lot.
Charlie Thanks so much Charlie for your wonderfully kind words and consistent support! Your last one was really good. Looking forward to your next! Take care. Greg

I'm late and everything has been said that I was going to say. Things like great lyrics, arrangement, mic, orchestration, mix, and of course your super excellent vocals.
Let us know when the CD comes out.
This is a keeper.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.

Lighthouse remains one of our favorite tunes of yours.
We think you richly fulfilled your goal with this reprise. It is beautifully written, sung and produced.
And we have no doubt that equally excellent material will lie between these two compositions on the CD!
Kudos.
J&B Thanks so much J and B for the very kind review! You guys are so kind. Loved the vocal in the recent post-Janice killed it!! Take care. Greg
