Lovely. The guitar playing is superb, as always. Great vocals and lyrics. Excellent production. The video is very good too. A successful collaboration.


Glad you were able to listen to the song. Really appreciate the comments and glad you liked it.

For many reasons we are happy that you took this one off the shelf smile

And it is easy to see why you kept coming back to it as it is most lovely.

You chose a great band Scott to support your standout playing.

The mix is all excellent ... and the drums are worthy of mention too.

The tune works very well for looking out the window at our moss
covered Emerald trails!

One of the greatest songs ever to grace this page, I feel - and have felt thus since hearing Janice's version of it. Really beautiful to hear the original, instrumental version. Wow. Inspired.

What a moment, at 1:44 or so, changing back at around 2:04 or so. Again, at 3:40.

What a song.

Scott,

The original instrumental is great.
I feel Scott's personality deeply in this tune.
The vocal version was completed based on this original.
I can see that the source of that inspiration is in this instrumental.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Scott,

I have missed this one completely and you only mentioned it once, recently. I thought you meant the song sang by Janice. Loved that one!
But while scrolling in the forum there was your instrumental version. I was pleasantly surprised, because this instrumental version of the song is also very good and sensitive. A good band played attractively with your beautiful solo.
I listened to it with a lot of pleasure!

Merry Christmas, Scott,
Hans
