Find Me

kids are kites in the wind
we cut the strings trying to reach home
sail above clouds sink under the sea
hang on to your ticket to roam

those days were so beautiful
for the boys of mess and majesty
if I ever lost sight of you
close my eyes count to fifty

do you ache ache for the way we used to be
awake asleep endless endlessly
under covers in the trees
little brother do you see
where the time goes
find me

you tumbled off my map
in my memory you landed headfirst
I`m falling to you like gravity
to find someone must you lose them first

you know I never tried to hide
anywhere but in your eyes would you believe
now there`s nothing in all my treasures
more worn out than me

I ache ache for the way we used to be
awake asleep endless endlessly
under covers in the trees
little brother do you see
where the time goes
find me

I sit in front of our movie screen
dressed up for a journey

do you ache ache for the way we used to be
awake asleep endless endlessly
under covers in the trees
little brother do you see
where the time goes
find me

Robert,

Very nice melodic tune. I love the instruments you used and I really like the mix. Great use of the background vocals. A thought provoking song and very easy listening.

WOW. What to say? Speechless.

Your voice sounds better than ever, somehow - and your interpretation and tone are so warm, it's so hard not to cry.

"you know I never tried to hide
anywhere but in your eyes would you believe
now there`s nothing in all my treasures
more worn out than me"

No words. Just wow ... and thank you for sharing.

Love the congas, tin whistle and BGVs, but always it's the lyrics that shine through. If I were to quote one line, I'd end up quoting all of them. Great poetry. Hope your brother gets to hear these gems. Excellent work!

Hi Robert ...

You always have some of the most wonderful, image-painting lyrics. Wonderful write and excellent production. This is sio nice!

Alan

Really nice Robert!

Your songs are so listenable!!



That is what it is all about man!

Loved this one.

Nice childhood story, vivid images full of nostalgia, like a photobook. Good vocals, enjoyed especially the lush harmonies. Melodically interesting, not so straightforward, but that's why this song is such a treasure.
Great arrangement, congas work nicely, and the tin whistle is really one of the best RTs PG Music has given to us.

Janne

Thanks Brad,
I`ve worked on the harmonies over the past few years and find that`s improved my singing generally.
I appreciate your listen and comments.



James,
Its an emotional area for me- I`m happy you heard that and that you connected with those lyrics. Your comments are a great support!





TuneMonger,
My bro` used to listen to my songs, not so sure now though... we are twins so its a connection that doesn`t stretch easily.
Thank you for your very kind comments.



Thank you very much, Al!

Robert

Lovely folk song Robert. Love your vocals framed by the acoustic. Cool lyric. Harmonies were perfect. Really well done....

Very nice music, melodic.
Beautiful choruses and backing vocals.
Like the tin whistle, it really adds something.

Anne-Marie

Robert,

"do you ache ache for the way we used to be
awake asleep endless endlessly
under covers in the trees
little brother do you see
where the time goes
find me"

Love this chorus.

Good write. Excellent backing.
Well sung. Well mixed.

Robert,

This is another great folk/rock sounding song! I love your lyrics! The chorus really has a beautiful flow and melody! That tin whistle really sounds great in here...I've never been able to utilize that instrument effectively in any of my stuff, but you made it sound right in this! Love the vocals and bgv! Enjoyed this!

Thanks, Torrey

This is another really rich sibling song that conjures up lots of childhood memories for both of us.

Your vocals sound great and the band suits the lyric so well.

The congas, piano and tin whistle “dance” very well together for the imagery.

We hope your brother hears this one!

J&B

Thank you very much, David!



Thank you for all those positives, Janne!



Scott,
Thank you for listening!



Anne-Marie,
The tin whistle is a great RT- I`m glad you noticed it and enjoyed the song.





That`s very kind, Floyd; thanks for listening and commenting.

Robert

Your lyrics are good as I expect they would be. The lyrics to the chorus really stand out for me: clever and poignant. And your melody is slightly unusual and extremely satisfying.

Torrey,
I appreciate those positive comments. I think you have to give the tin whistle a few regens to mix and match phrasing- glad you like it here.





Thank you, J&B
Starting out songwriting I was probably expecting more family interest... now I`m content to hoe my row alongside the kindred spirits here!



E.S.
Thank you for your listen and likes.

Robert

Hi Robert,

This is a very touching song. Your vocals work so nice in it.
Many emotions were released in me when listening to your beautiful song and lyrics.
You are the master on these kind of songs, Robert. At least to me.

Hans

Thanks very much, Andi!



Thanks, Greg!





Mario,
I appreciate that very kind review.




Hans,
I`m glad you could relate to the feelings in this song- thanks for listening!


Robert

Hi, Robert.

Nicely done! Your songs definitely sound like no one else!

I like the arrangement, and your vocals. Good melancholic write.

The penny whistle is perfect here.
