floyd, I agree. It did have a bit of a cool cat vibe to it. Thanks, Tom
Tom and Dean,
...stunning songwriting, stunning music. When it comes to creating and amplifying a mood, "Once Forgotten Man" does it in leaps and bounds.
I sometimes find that Hammond harmony, with all those harmonics that are available via drawbars, can obscure an arrangement rather than enhance it. That wasn't the case here at all. The end result that I heard was bluesy and with perfect prosody between words and music. Impressive work. The distorted guitar was an excellent contrast to the edgy Hammond sound.
The lyrics are awesome! I really liked the hook "a used to be lonely woman and I’m a once forgotten man" - excellent imagery.
The line "the story of our love was just a long goodbye" is my favourite. I have never heard a relationship breakdown expressed so succinctly this way. To be able to condense all that anguish, agony and sense of loss into a single line is outstanding lyric writing. Lyrics don't get any better than this.
Total enjoyment and involvement from bar 1 to the end.
All the best,
Noel
That Hammond sound is a particular favorite of mine and Dean showcased it perfectly. Thanks for the comments on the lyrics. I appreciate it. Tom
