Hi all. This is my latest effort. Little different to recent songs. All comments welcome. Rob Leaving Narrabri Can you feel the summer breeze brush against your skin. Leaning on the door Sill as we drive. Dont know how long its been, since we said goodbye. To the folks back home in Narrabri. ................................................................................................................... And I know you shed a tear and we shared a beer I held you near. Where gonna give it one more try. So down this empty road two lonely soles and god only knows. where gonna make it to the end. ................................................................................... Bridge ................................................................................... And I know you shed a tear and we shared a beer I held you near. Where gonna give it one more try. (Where going home to Narrabri) So down this empty road two lonely soles and god only knows. where gonna make it to the end. ................................................................................... We'll keep pushing through the night till the sun begins to rise. One more hill and we'll be home, then we'll back home in Narabri then we'l back home in Narrabri We'll just keep along the suns almost gone be it right or wrong. When we're back home in Narrabri ................................................................................................................... And I know you shed a tear and we shared a beer I held you near. Where gonna give it one more try. So down this empty road two lonely soles and god only knows. where gonna make it to the end. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Leaving Narrabri El Paso Baritone Texas Pop File:Leaving Narabri.SGU Key=D , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:56 2 bar intro, 112 bar chorus, from bar 3 to bar 114.

Good song, love your vocal on this, and I like the lyrics too.
Great job on the production too, that breakdown at 1:15 and bringing it back at 1:40 worked like a charm and really makes the song something special IMHO, nice one!

What a fantastic song! Maybe it's just me, but I totally got a hint of a Johnny Cash vibe with this particular song. Maybe it's the vocals! I really enjoyed the lyrics to this particular tune. Excellent job.
Can't wait for the next one.
Cheers,
Ember

Rob,
A really good lonesome road feeling to this - very nice soulful vocal and that sweetness in the melody makes me want to sing along on the chorus.
The resonator and baritone guitars sound great together.
Very good!
Robert

Hello, Rob
Very nice tune!
Beautifully performed.
I entirely agree with Robert.

Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Great track and great production. It really fits the Australiana tag. It brought the outback back home to me...
Just a quick note on the lyrics, I think you meant "we're" not "where".

I fully agree with Dave. he summed it up perfectly. This is one of your very best - of the ones I've heard. that was a real joy to listen to. Thanks for the pleasure! Also, before I forget, the reso guitar with the deep reverb was a real nice touch! Wishing you well, Alan

Rob I also think that this is one if not your best today. Super mix, dynamics, lyrics and vocal.
I love these lines "And I know you shed a tear and we shared a beer I held you near.
Where gonna give it one more try.
So down this empty road two lonely soles and god only knows.
where gonna make it to the end."
Great lyrics here.
Two thumbs up.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
