There's not much left to say.

Your statement about how music affects the five senses is thought provoking. The touching documentary on Glen Campbell's last performances so well reinforces this.

As always with your productions the performances, the arrangement and the mix are bar setting high.

This is a lovely and moving tribute to your lost friend and may he rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss Steve. I've lost some people recently and will probably lose my mom in 2017. It hurts. This song is absolutely beautiful, my favorite of so many wonderful songs you have posted. It is powerful and brilliant, a forum hall of famer for sure!!! Take care. Greg

The chord progression of the chorus itself is super.
And then of course your voice. Beautiful as ever!

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.

Thanks so much, Rob. I wanted the two chord transition/pause into the chorus to build just enough musical tension to draw you into the chorus. Glad you like it.

This song is one of the most beautiful writes I've heard in a long, long time. Brought to mind the songs that come from a collaboration between Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin - as good as it gets.

Your productions and vocals are always top notch - but this might beat them all in both regards.

WOW.

floyd


Floyd, thanks so much! You really made my day with your comments.

To be even compared to Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin is the ultimate compliment in my book. I Can't Make You Love Me is one of the greatest songs ever written, in my opinion. (I'll bet Bonnie Raitt would agree with that opinion.) smile

I take your comments very seriously, as I really look up to you as one of our "heros" (among many) on this forum. You continue to elevate the power and relevancy of Band In A Box by the quality of your work that you present here. Thank you!

Thank you so much, guitar1! So glad you like this one. Keep playing that old Korg!

Thanks, Bob! I thought I included all that in my post to introduce the song. I'll go back and re-read it to see if I left anything out.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment. Always so good to hear from you!

Steve, I am choosing my words very carefully here in this comment. This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs (if not the greatest) ever posted on this forum that I have heard! I know that's a strong statement, but I feel it's justified! It's such a paradox to think how it sometimes takes something so sad to give birth to such a beautiful thing (song in this case). I could hear in your voice the pain involved in the performance of the song. You have written a very special message here that I believe will speak to people many years from now! This one is perfect and please don't change a thing with it! Thanks for sharing and may you be strengthened in God's love! Torrey

Thank you to all of you who have said such nice things to me about this song. This one has a special meaning to me, and I so appreciate all of your kindness! Thanks Cuz (Tommyc) for "resurrecting" this one. I have been out of pocket so much the past few months due to work and dealing with the loss of a few friends and loved ones the past several months.

Torrey, your words are very encouraging, and humbling. Again, thank you to all of you! This forum is very much like a family to me! God's blessings to all of you!
