Here's a new one, as always I appreciate your feedback, and comments. Thanks to J&B for the harmony. Kenny https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/my-annabelle3My Annabelle © 2017 Kenny Leverett Steady beat of the rain Keeping time on the window pane And I can’t count all of the times That I’ve let you down But I carry all of this pain Leaving you there time and again While I’m playing for strangers In another strange town Are you dreaming My Annabelle Counting the stars Catching moonbeams in jars In the darkness Of this hotel I’m thinking of you My baby blue Wasn’t ready when you came along Little angel, heart beating so strong But I knew that I’d love you For all of my days Seems the only thing that I know Is to play this guitar Tho it keeps us apart Are you dreaming My Annabelle Soon you’ll be grown Will you be gone Are you dreaming My Annabelle Counting the stars And boys in their cars Are you dreaming My Annabelle Drums Country Shuffle Bass 533 Electric 12-8 Nylon Guitar 2714 Acoustic Guitar 529 Finger Picking Guitar 526 Piano Me Harmony Janice Merritt

What a pretty tune, Kenny I really loved the guitar work on this. The vocals sound sincere, and heartfelt. Those lyrics too - they paint a poignant picture that is all too relatable. Great work on this, and thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Kenny, You`ve captured a sweet longing feeling with this song ( what is it about nylon guitar that suits this mood so well?), that really takes to the heights on the chorus. Very good lyrics! I thought I was listening to Lucinda Williams getting into the heartbreak there in the background... just another gorgeous harmony from Janice. A most enjoyable ballad.
Robert

Thanks Robert, It means a lot to me that you like the lyrics, I think you're such a good writer I love Lucinda, haven't heard anything from her in awhile, I'll have to look her up To me, Janice's makes this song so so much better, when she comes in on the word "angel" it gets me every time.

Kenny,
This is an absolutely beautiful song!
The instrumentation is excellent. Your piano is a nice touch. Good mix.
Your vocal is as-real-as-it-gets. Dripping sincerity - and longing. Janice's harmony is a perfect compliment - tugging at the heartstrings just that much harder.
The lyric is extroridnary. Exceptional writing. A story told as well as is possible. Top level. One of the best father-to-daughter songs I have ever heard. Ever.

Wow Kenny, beautiful. And Janice: absolutely subtle and gorgeous backing vocal. Just one small nit: we think the lead vocal could use a little (more) reverb. But that's just our opinion.
Rob and Anne-Marie

Hello, Kenny
A nice pop tune! As Torrey said, great vocal, instrument choices and production! It seems that I am listening to one of hit songs of American oldies I do not know yet. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

It seems the fall transition is bringing out the longing in everyone. That said, I really love this song and the lyrics are on point. The song has a sense of an almost melancholic nostalgia to it that I just can't shake. I adore it.
Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the next one.
Cheers, Ember
