Thank you Mario,

Regards, Rob Oh my! I could NOT let this go by without comment... Prine's debut album (called simply "John Prine") was my songwriting bible. Several of the songs from that are included on a later release... https://myspace.com/johnprine/music/album/souvenirs-10760220START with "Hello In There" "Far From Me" "Angel From Montgomery" "Sam Stone"

Hi Floyd,
The link you provided, didn't work, site was down for some reason. But his debut album is on YouTube, listening to it now. Songs like: 'hello in there' are totally my style. Also detect some Dylan influences here. Indeed a great inspiration!
Regards, Rob

Rob and Anne-Marie
You two are a very talented song-writing team! I always enjoy your songs.. never once have I been disappointed!
This song is particularly compelling to me, as I lost my dear wife a little over 2 years ago, and that event has forced me to consider the topic of your song every single day since then.
The topic, in my opinion, takes boldness to address. Small changes in lyrics or composition could have rendered it cheesy or patronizing. But you avoided all that with good choices; and as a result, you have a real masterpiece here.
Anne-Marie... regarding your video: I must admit I was totally blindsided by your creative decision to morph the photo between an old man to a young man and back again! The song was halfway over before I caught on.. and when I did, the significance to the song really struck me! Very, very artsy!
When the strings began playing and you introduced the silky waves of smoke flowing across the screen, I almost expected the photo to morph into the moon and the smoke to morph into clouds... in the sense that the moon itself is ageless.. and it shines upon all of us at every age, from birth until the grave. But the film is perfect exactly as it is! Good Job!
Rob, back to you: It's easy to get jaded on excellence when you hear it all the time. I EXPECT your songs to be top-notch, and they always are. But sometimes something about a song really strikes my fancy above all else, and in this song it was the way you introduced the strings. Strings are something else that can be used very badly. They can make a good song sound cheesy in a heartbeat... (don't ask how I know this). But your handling of them in this song was just perfect. Smooth. Melodic. Ageless in fact.
Sorry for rambling, but I think the effort required to write a good song is significant... and I think such effort on your part deserves something more than a sound byte in response. Especially when I like the song as much as I like this one.

Hi, Rob % Anne-Marie !
I am truly impressed at your ability to put together tune after tune and not any tune too ! Every tune of yours is a gem in itself and they are also quite different ! :)) Just great !!!
Cheers Dani

Thanks Josie, well, getting those high-pitched backing vocals in properly, took some effort I would love to hear some falsetto harmonies in your songs. Will probably sound very good! Regards, Rob

Hello Pat, I'm very sorry to hear about your wife's passing. But I'm glad to hear you like this song so much. It took quite some work actually, rearranging the real tracks properly. The belpad is quite functional here, and yes the string quartet also works pretty good in this song. Getting the high-pitched backing vocals properly in tune took quite an effort too Thanks for your very, very positive comments. Much appreciated! Regards, Rob

Thanks Dani, yes, we're quite productive But it also takes a lot of work, musicality and then there are the lyrics..... sometimes they come out of the blue, but mostly it's quite a struggle getting them to fit in properly, or having inspiration at all.... but then again, with a program like BIAB most of the musical work is already done, better than I could ever play myself. Thanks again for your very positive comment! Regards, Rob
