Rob4580 You Wrote Me ****** Song Summary ************* Title: You Wrote Me Key=C , Tempo 70, Length (m:s)=03:13 You Wrote Me I'm going where the mountain streams flow clearly. I'm going where I can right my wrongs I'll whistle till those city folk can't hear me. Then Im gonna sing a good old country song. Chorus You told me in a letter that you that you love me. And you wished you never let me go. You wrote me how you had missed me dearly. Then I wrote you back and said to come along. Bridge (Whistle) Chorus You told me in a letter that you that you love me. And you wished you never let me go. You wrote me how you had missed me dearly. Then I wrote you back and said to come along. Verse When the sun falls beyond the mountains. The fire light tangles in your hair. A shooting star sparkles in the heavens. The love I have for you's beyond compare Chorus You told me in a letter that you that you love me. And you wished you never let me go. You wrote me how you had missed me dearly. Then I wrote you back and said to come along. Then I wrote you back and said to come along.

Rob,
Love that opening. Nice throwback country-folk tune. Engaging vocal and that bass really carries the song along well. Lovely harmonies as well. Wish I could whistle like that!
Good way to end the year! Come well into the next one!

Really nice song about a form of communication that has, for the most part, died. As always, your voice is the star, but it is nicely supported by the RTs you chose. Very good work!

You did a fantastic job with the vocals on this Rob. You've got a great voice for this style of music, but to me, those background vocals were superb. This is folk music at it's best. I'm looking forward to hearing more of those songs you've been writing.

Pleasant folk song, nice romantic message. The whistle part really made me smile, I really would have liked to hear more of it Nice melody easy to sing along. I like the Celtic sound of the band and the old country mood. Vocals are excellent and everything is mixed very well. Janne

Nice love song, simple but effective arrangement and a good mix. There are one or two bad guitar notes, but nothing I would worry too much about.
What I like most is (again) your vocals and harmonies, I really like your voice and how you use it!

Rob, I like everything about this . . . keep producing stuff like this!
I especially like the bass.
"When the sun falls beyond the mountains.
The fire light tangles in your hair.
A shooting star sparkles in the heavens.
The love I have for you's beyond compare"
Not sparkles or dances but tangles, beautiful!
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

“You wrote me how you had missed me dearly.”
Janice loved the way you sang this line with your phrasing on “you had missed” and she said the entire song reminded her of watching western movies with her Daddy in the 60’s. This would’ve fit perfectly as the closing song.
Your vocals are great and your whistling was a perfect fit.
And you wrapped it all up with a fine band and mix.
Enjoyed it!
