Hey All, Here's a new song Josie and I put together. This was produced with BIAB/RT's and was mixed in GarageBand. It's called "Long Time" - we hope you enjoy it...  http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11007638Bob ©2011 Josie Beck, Robert Dean "Long Time" A black crow flying In a trickle down rain Every now and then He'd fly my way again See the lines in the road Kick an old tin can Got my mind on you And my feet on the land A white winged dove On the edge of seventeen One brave love of mine Came to visit in a dream I packed my bags Take a journey with you That sky between us Fades from black to blue Chorus: Long time like a January song Long time and far from home Long time and cold to the bone Long time A snowbird high On the evergreen Shadows on the ground And nothing in between All those years ago Had my eyes on you Some things turn to gold Or sing the church bell blues Chorus: repeat Bridge: The seasons pass Shadows into light Time stands still In the dark of night Break Chorus: repeat x2/end

Another great song from a great team.
Don't take this the wrong way, Bob, but when you first come in singing, I thought your voice had a very Stevie Nicks quality to it at first, but then became more Dylanesque afterwards. But then I heard the reference to Edge of Seventeen, s I don't know if you were channeling a little Fleetwood Mac in this song, or what.
I really liked it.

Hey John, Thanks for your kind words. Josie and I really appreciate your support. Yes, the second verse gives a little nod to Stevie - so cool you picked up on that... Bob

Hi Bob and Josie,
What impressed me most about this song were the harmonies, the chorus and the arrangement. I found myself singing along with the last chorus and I wasn't even conscious that I'd started doing it. That tells me you that you've got a good, strong hook happening. To my way of thinking, this is a top shelf effort whichever way I look at it.
All the best,
Noel
