When Bruce Springsteen came out with the deluxe edition of "The River" he did a little piece for HBO, pretty informal, he sat with his acoustic guitar and played parts of songs from those sessions and told stories about the inspirations for songs and things. I thought, well, I can write something with the river as a kind of metaphoric centerpiece and did so very quickly and couldn't figure out why I wasn't happy with it, not that I thought it would compare to Bruce's good work. I set it aside for a good while and then turned to one of our strong prolific regular writers here. The answer? missing furniture! There's nothing wrong with a feelings song but I love furniture, love creating scenery and images, oh well the chorus has an image an even if you don't like the song, dig this style Folk Rock with Piano, it's awesome! I'm usuing Logic Pro for all my vocals now and love how clean it sounds and how easy it is to use. Thanks for listening and commenting, great group of people here.
