This is an original from 2011. I just completed a studio remix (see thread in the recording/mixing section). It was suggested that I post the song here as well. The first version I recorded in 2011 at home was "OK". I deceided to remix with a professional studio to see if I could improve it....both from a mix and performance standpoint. I'm really happy how it turned out. Parts: Vocal and acoustic guitar recorded in studio drums, bass, from BIAB organ was a BIAB string track that I changed to percussion organ. There is a wind chime at beginning and end I found on the internet. The recording engineer did a great job coaching my vocals. Mix was done on pro tools. Hope you enjoy.

Brian,
I loved ever aspect of this song, especially the rather simplistic but haunting chord changes, you also did a great job selling it with the performance.
Later,

Brian, you ' re right. Music should be shared. I liked the sparse arrangement. Nice job with the organ. Very nice vocal. Nice production. I'm glad you posted this. Tom

Guenter and all
Thanks for your kind comments. I thought about posting the original, but there is more to the story. Shortly after I recorded the original in 2011 I was diagnosed with neck cancer. Thankfully I did well with treatment, but radiation left me barely able to speak by fall of that year. Gradually I've recovered, but my voice is different. My range is now 1 1/2 steps lower on the bottom and about 3 steps lower on the top. The song is 1 1/2 steps lower than the original, and I had to change some of the high notes. It would be hard to compare the versions. In the long run I've become a better singer. It is now an intentional effort to hit every note and sing every phrase. My voice is different but now I have much better control.
Brian

Brian,
Already told you I liked this - but I am happy to say it again. I like this! So glad you put it here for others to hear - most would miss it in the other thread.
Such a nice song. Terrific vocal and guitar! A great listen. Sort of a cross between JT and Chapin - not a bad combination!
I hope we'll hear more form you.

I enjoyed that song more this morning than I did yesterday when I listened to it. Hearing the "story behind the music" made me appreciate it more ...I guess. I've known several friends who had cancer... many lost their battle and a few have beat it. One, a guitar player from the last band I was ever in, had throat cancer and has beaten it. I wrote a song for one of my best friends who succumbed to cancer after fighting it for many years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DmLXESjGWs at 5:48 in the video, there is a picture of me, my wife and Wolf.... he introduced us to each other, so he has always held a special place in our hearts.
