Cool tune. Nice work.
Yeah all I got for right now. Too tired to think critically.

Hi David,
This is such a great backing that you've created. The added cello is beautiful. Then, when the prairie piano enters the mix it lifts the emotional quality of the backing even more. These provided wonderful support for your heartfelt lyrics and performance.
Regards,
Noel

David,
I didn`t think you could get better than your last song... and now this... about the best leaving home gift in song from parent to child I`ve heard.
Awesome!

David, you’re a great inspiration You can be very proud of such a dedicated song ‘from the heart “ to someone very dear to you ,never easy to script. Your subtle restrained singing of it was perfect, as was the soft Cello, the piano came in beautifully.

This is beautiful, David.
Nothing better than writing from the heart - and it is obvious that is where this came from.
Tasty production - nice build! One of your best. One of your best vocals, too...
Sweet.

Poignant and beautiful song, David. The cello is so tasteful and effective and provides an elegant background for your emotive vocal. I also love the piano -- it's like the varnish that makes the whole track shine just that much more.

Bob Could not say it better than Bob. Probably my new fave of yours, from a long list!! I have a 12-year old daughter. She's a tall, graceful, beautiful girl with bright eyes, a big heart and a sharp wit. Hopefully, I can write one like this for her someday! Take care. Greg

Bob I couldn't agree more. David, this is absolutely your best to date. I don't know how you are going to top this one? This is so good that if my daughter ever gets married I would like your permission to play this song for the father and daughter dance. This is a keeper.
I think my wife has started to show the first signs of dementia.
She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!
