Greg, I can certainly relate. One of the neighborhoods I grew up in also went through those changes. This has a nice melancholy feel of nostalgia that compliments the lyrics perfectly. Nice harmonies at the end. The vocal couldn't be much better and the production is great. A very enjoyable write that touched me deeply. Tom

Very awesome song. Great lyrics, and production. Loved the vocals.
I hear a hint of Dan Fogelberg in the vocals. Great job.

Absolutely exceptional, Greg. Such an evocative lyric and vocal delivery. You can really tell how much the whole topic means to you -- I wouldn't believe you if you told me this was fiction!

Beautiful ballad - loved the lyric - superb ending with the backing vocal and repetition of Lundys Lane.
A real songwriting lesson. Great stuff.
Peter Thanks so much Peter! I always appreciate your wonderful support. You're doing some great stuff! Take care. Greg

Greg, it's no surprise that this is another excellent delivery.
Your material is always of the highest standard and this is no exception.
What a great nostalgic tribute. I can picture the scenic view of Lundy's Lane just from listening to the superb lyrics.
Outstanding vocal delivery.
Another masterpiece. Take a bow, you deserve it.
Thanks Trev! That's one of the nicest reviews I've ever gotten. You are a great source of support and encouragement! Take care. Greg

Greg,
I agree to the comments by other people. Excellent work. I enjoyed it very much.
I have visited the Silicon Valley so many times, and used 101 to go from SFO to Santa Clara and vice versa. I checked the location of Bunker Hill Drive by the Google map and found I passed nearby. I was also caught by the words 'Japanese' and 'sushi'. They made me feel your song familiar.

It didn't take long for forum members to grab up all the accolades.
For us, in a word, this tune is stunning.
I agree with floyd that the mix is absolutely top notch. And the vocals
are masterful.
And if that isn't enough the write is incredible. It reads like
prose and sounds like poetry when sung.
One of the top posted productions this year by far!
Wonderful addition to our SC playlist.

Hey Greg, It's all been said and I agree, but let me add... What a fine write this is! Everything about the production is top notch. Just an excellent job. My sister lived in Foster City in the mid 70's, I remember going down there with my Dad and spending a couple weeks. I thought it was a pretty cool place. I remember going kinda up in the mountains/hills (I think) nearby to a place called Half Moon Bay. I think my nephew was working on a ranch there. Does that ring a bell? Did I tell ya I think the song is Great!

Cool song Greg, very heartfelt lyric, beautifully delivered. It's sad that your childhood home is no longer there and there is so much change that it drives many people out of the area. I lived in Santa Cruz, just over the hill from there '75-'80. In-laws in Oakland-Berkeley and and friends in Frisco. I grew up in a small (pop 1500) midwest town which is little changed from the 1950's when I was a kid. Jackson Brown/Eagles style seems just right. Liked your vocal. -Pete

Greg,
Really enjoyed this song. Your songwriting has been on a high lately and this one is also right up there.
Gorgeous production and I especially enjoyed the vocals and harmonies. The vocals also reminded me of Dan Fogelberg with a hint of Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit for good measure.
Excellent work,
Jez

Something just struck me while I was listening to this and it is really a tribute to all the regular contributors to this forum. Its to do with how far everyone has come with this software since I started following along and listening four years ago. What a journey it has been.
Really lovely song, Greg

Greg,
A really fine vocal( love your voice in the upper register) on a good wistful ballad. I enjoyed the reminiscenses in the lyrics - they reminded me of Jackson Browne`s Looking Into You.
I agree with Noel that the bridge melody stands out and the arrangement is just right - cool that you saved those harmonies for the end.
Robert Thanks Robert! You've been a great addition to the forum-great songs and interesting lyrics! Take care. Greg
