A sad little song. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=1176543&songID=12172042Summers ©2013 Robert Randall Burke She sits at the window And watches the rain Gently fall below Waiting for someone Who won't come again To share the fireglow. Gone are the summers Of sunlight and lovers When laughter would ring in the air Now she calls out in darkness Knowing that no one is there. Haunted by all of the unspoken words The things that might have been The tears on the window That mirror her own Sorrow deep within. Gone are the summers Of sunlight and lovers When laughter would ring in the air Now she calls out in darkness Knowing that no one is there.

Bob, what a fantastic song! It grabbed me right from the start. Your vocal is outstanding and your lyrics well all I can say is WOW! Your backing tracks set the mood for this beautifully sad song perfectly.
This is a keeper.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Bob,
OMG.
Forget the fact that your production is PERFECT. INCREDIBLE.
Forget the fact that your vocal performance is PERFECT. INCREDIBLE. OMG.
OMG...
BOB!
This song is BEAUTIFUL. Period. BEAUTIFUL. <<< do you SEE the period???
It is like hearing Tony Arata singing "The Dance" at the Bluebird before Garth said "I gotta do that!!!"
I bow to you, man.
OMG.

Hi Robert
I always follow the theory that less is more and this song is a good example, nice vocal sound too it jumps out and pulls you in

Bob,
This is first class. Very strong and pretty melody. Although the story is sad, it brings out empathy in the listener as other songs like Eleanor Rigby does.

Sad but not maudlin. Often that's too thin of a line for song writers. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bob, This is magnificent. What stood out to me most was the way you've used the minor key in this. It was excellent. In fact, everything about this is excellent - top to tail. My favourite lines were ... Gone are the summers
Of sunlight and lovers These lines really sit well in the mouth to sing. Brilliant stuff. It's got a good amount of what Pat Patterson calls "concealed alliteration". (Just like Gary Burr's refrain, "A Thousand Wild Horses, thunderin' behind me, hell bent on running me down" - found at this link) All the best, Noel
