A little thing I've been working on for several years eek , and just rediscovered. I've lost the original BB file, so I have no memo. It's long, so if you're not buying any green bananas these days, you might want to skip it. grin

Thanks for listening, and Merry Christmas!

Regards,

Bob

Wow. I don't think you can write a song I don't love. This is another really good one.

Enjoyed my listen.

Another good one.

I like the laid back feeling. Sad story.

Absolutely beautiful Bob!! I've never heard anything by you that I didn't like, but I've never heard anything I loved this much. It's great. The simple arrangement is perfect, and the rhythm infectious. Lyrics are wonderful-melancholy and inspirational at the same time. And, I doubt anyone could sing it any better. Incredible stuff!! And this is a great investment of 4 minutes-something this good deserves attention. Awesome! Take care. Greg

Sensational job Bob

Fantastic lyrics, presented with an outstanding vocal delivery.

A lot of quality here, no questions.

What a beautiful arrangement. I was hoping for a happy ending but it's a wonderful sounding tragic tale.

Bob,

What a sad story, with beautifully crafted lyrics.

Excellent but it didn't seem so long as it held my attention.

wonderful, absolutely wonderful

Hi

I had a listen to a few of your songs after listening to this one. All beautifully crafted and produced. I'd like a touch less reverberation, but what do I know:-). Anyway, I would happily have a CD of your songs in my collection.

Ditto everything Greg said.

Exquisite, Robert!

The writing is the craft at it's finest. Subtle, in the pocket, cinematic. Gorgeous, sing-able melody. Sounds like a classic the first time you hear it.

The production is outstanding. Your best, I think.

Everything about this is first rate.

You can go fishing now.

Bob, Good thing you didn't give up on it. A beautiful and exquisite write and arrangement. The strings sound fantastic. Your voice sounds fantastic. Has a little of that Gordon Lightfoot feel to it, which is always a good thing. All in all a gorgeous song. Bravo! Tom

This is a great song although very sad. Everything that you did is just superb. Your writing is fantastic and the story is so realistic that it was like watching a movie in my mind. I would like to have known what you did in BIAB for the music is very captivating. Very enjoyable!

Hi Bob.

It didn't seem a minute too long to me. (I've worked with Eddie.)

Beautiful song and sung with lots of emotion which brought me out in goosebumps. Like Josie, I was hoping for a happy ending, but...eh bien.

Going back for a second listen when I've found the Kleenex.

Have a good xmas.

ROG.

So nice! I enjoyed every second of it. You've got a Jimmy Nail sort of vibe going with this song.

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

I found this piece stunning Bob. A perfect match of lyrics, music, production and top notch vocal delivery: I wish I could get that level of emotion and sincerity. When things all come together like this a song goes straight to the heart.
