Hi All, Josie and I would like to share our latest song with you. BIAB/RT's - mixed in GarageBand. All comments welcome - we hope you enjoy it.  Bob Borderline ©2011 Josie Beck, Robert Dean All Rights Reserved. ASCAP Baby baby you’re so sweet Singing in a whispered rain Playing like a radio With Patsy Cline stuck in my brain Chorus: I was running maybe you were too Over the line out into the blue The long way home is where we are tonight One dance over the borderline Baby baby you’re so free Flying through the moonless night I’ll be the witness to your soul We’ll write a song with no goodbyes Chorus: repeat Baby baby you’re so cold Tired of towing the winter line Lay your snow boots by my door Wipe your eyes and spend my time Chorus: repeat Bridge: Oh I’ll be here When the music leaves you sad No need to set out on your own To find what you already have Break Chorus: repeat/end

Hi Bob, I enjoyed the listen I've also got to say that I really admire Josie and her harmonies. Her ability to find just the right notes to make harmonies work is outstanding. I wish I could do that! As I've mentioned before, when it comes to songs from the impressionistic wing of the songwriting gallery, I'm always challenged. It's a limitation of mine. One phrase that really stood out to me and that I loved was "wipe your eyes and spend my time". What a great line. I also really like the metaphorical concept of being "one dance over the borderline". I have a huge admiration for the way that you and Josie can write. In the time it takes me to write a single song, you two have an album well under way. What team! All the best, Noel

Wow, what can I say... Is this going to be on the next album?
The harmonies are excellent and the song just put me in the middle of a smoky club after a couple too many beers. Loved the shout-out to Patsy Cline.

This the sort of "classic" Beck & Dean I've come to look forward to - rough vocals, nice harmonies, folksy arrangements and great twists of phrases.

Thanks again to each of you who listened and commented since we first posted this song. It's on our current EP November Moon and is also available as a single on itunes, Amazon and CdBaby. I thought I'd bump it back up.
