Here's a song I wrote in 1992 - I never recorded it until now. It's kind of a folk-rock/indie tune. This was done in BIAB with all RT's. Thanks for listening - hope you enjoy!

Broken Heart Of Blue

I'd take the rain forever
If I could just see you tonight
I'd close my eyes in silence
If I failed to make it right

Chorus:
I'd never leave you
I'd never try
Not to see your point of view
I'd never let you feel the pain
Of a broken heart of blue

I'd give away my secrets
If I could only hold you near
I'd make my way through darkness
If my light should disappear

Chorus:
I'd never resist you
I'd never let
My love become untrue
I'd never weave you tears
Spun from a broken heart of blue

I'd turn away in sorrow
If I sensed it in your eyes
I'd try to be discreet
If it caught me by surprise

Chorus:
I'd never doubt you
I'd never forget
The love I thought I knew
I'd never make you face yourself
With a broken heart of blue

Repeat first chorus - end

Hi Bob,

I really like this song. The lyrics worked for me. Thirty years ago, I went to a Bob Dylan concert and the moment you started singing this song, I was back at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne listening to Dylan.

All the best,
Noel

As usual, you've got a great turn of phrase here.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nice one Bob! Reminded me not only of Dylan but also Neil Young, in terms of the nice loping rhythm and harmonica parts. You're a cool lyric writer by the way and the music was a spot on match for those here.
