It's amazing how you've managed to capture a feel that's uplifting, nostalgic and yet tinged with melancholy and sadness. I guess that's what Life is all about!

All the best for 2017,

Noel,
Yes, personification in song is tricky - I can`t think of many where it really works ( I`m A Little Teapot might be my favourite, though Mary Chapin Carpenter`s I`m A Town is close).I`m really pleased you felt the device works here - thanks so much for this!

Robert
