Don't Walk Away

Hi again, I took a week or so off of writing to busk, but yesterday this came to me. So before I go back to work I jotted (recorded) this song. Please comment, I think I will use my acoustic instead of the LP, but you know me, first cut is the final cut when it comes to live music. Thanks for listening.

Hi, Donny.

Easy listening goodness, and nice guitar work.

Cut the bit where the bass keeps going at the end, and it's good to go. (I'd also bring the vocal up a bit, but that's just me).

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nice song, kind of easy listening and easy on the ears.
The vocals could be a bit louder, though.

Donny, very nice song.
I really liked the groove.
Nice chord progression.
Great vocal however I agree that it should be more up front.
I also agree about the bass ending.
Nice work.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Nice song ... but it seems like half a song ... I was waiting for the big chorus ... it has a nice feel, and your vocals fits. Id like to hear more.

Hi Donny.

This is sitting very comfortably on my ears as I listen.
The style works so well with your performance. It's like the two are made for one another.
I found this very relaxing and very satisfying music.
