Hi All,

Here’s a new folk-pop song from us - this is called Drift Too Far.

We've also been having some fun working on music videos.


It’s almost like a lifeline
A hidden bridge in the sky
It’s visible when I fade from day
And it stays all of the night

Everybody’s rushing
And if they only knew
I’m just trying not to
Drift too far from you

I caught the silver hour
Falling through the blinds
The city whispers a lullaby
To quiet down my mind

Everybody’s rushing
And if they only knew
I’m just trying not to
Drift too far from you

The dawn comes soft and golden
Like forgiveness in disguise
I still trace your constellation
Across the morning sky

Everybody’s rushing
And if they only knew
I’m just trying not to
Drift too far from you
I’m just trying not to
Drift too far from you
I’m just trying not to
Drift too far from you

Hi Bob and Joliz,

Wow, another great song!

Favorite verse out of many good ones:

"The dawn comes soft and golden
Like forgiveness in disguise
I still trace your constellation
Across the morning sky"

Great hearing you play guitar on this too BTW.

And I really enjoyed your video! Nice watching you and Joliz do your thing.

Super song and performances, you two. Could feel myself swaying to the rhythm of the song. It's very UPLIFTING, though in an understated sort of way. Really nice production and mix, too. Everything the two of you do is SO golden...

Fun video, too. Especially liked the performance clips. Surprised by Jolene's mic orientation, which makes it looks like she's singing into the top of the capsule. But...she sound GREAT here as always, so what do I know? (A: Nothing at all)

Very nice!

Hi Bob (and Joliz)!
Good guitar work Bob!
I like the lyric theme - the other person in a relationship can sometimes seem like a point (specific place) and at other times envelope us - and the metaphor in your lyric reflects this.

Loved the video - there’s something about seeing people do their music - I would have preferred to see more variety (different clips) but I understand from personal experience how much effort can go into these things.

BEAUTIFUL. A joy to see, as well as hear, you.

The Joliz choir accompanying your guitar ... wow. The concept of the song, i.e. trying not to drift too far away from someone ... great idea, beautifully rendered.

I love this song. Bravi, both of you.

Please, please, keep creating. You are an inspiration.

Bob, you and Joliz have produced some fantastic music but this one is the best of the best IMHO.
You and Joliz sing so well together.
It was super seeing you and Joliz performing.
The lyrics were outstanding.
The backing band and mix were perfect.
Loved it

Hi, Bob.

It's always good to hear your songs. You've got a storyteller's voice that just draws me in.

You and Joliz make a great team.

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

What a treat, Bob & Joliz. I always love listening and now we get a glimpse. So cool that you're getting into video, too. I really enjoy this song (not just cuz you wrote it, although that's a great reason). You always write relatable songs --relatable even for those who've never had similar experiences, because your description and feeling and your ability to create visuals with your songs is top-notch good.


Enjoy whatever happens!
