The vocals remind me of Tom Rapp and the more complex melody also gives me flickers of him too.
Lovely stuff.

“we rolled up the clouds I lost some grey
to the rain and dust our own patch of dirt
in flints and flowers somewhere we dug up
the boy and girl we were”

Robert, this is a stunningly beautiful write. Rich, rich imagery.

The band, your vocal and the production more than do justice to the write.

And the strings were a very special addition.

Lovely!

Gosh, this is a really beautiful song.

Great mix--perfect. Vocal sits perfectly. I can hear this on an album, easily.

Reminds me of Paul Simon.

Nice.

I agree with all that!! Except I don't know who Murray McLauchlan is. This is so well done in every way. One of my faves of yours for sure!! Take care. Greg


Everything Greg and Floyd said. There simply aren't enough superlatives to adequately describe the gentle beauty of this song. And wow - what gorgeous vocal! If beauty didn't already have a definition, this would be the perfect way to describe it.

Alan,
You made my day with that - very kind, sir!
This is the first time I`ve used the Reaper tuning feature to smooth some notes in the vocals;it surprised me how well it worked.

I appreciate that. My vocal processing has become just a bit more subtle which helps on a tune like this.

Thank you for that - will have to check out Tom Rapp`s solo songs ( I remember Pearls Before Swine from way back).

J&B,

That last verse is really there cos it would have meaning for my wife ( the song initially had only 3 verses).
Your listens and supportive comments are most appreciated.

David,

Thanks for that. Paul Simon`s early romantic songs are a big favourite of mine.

Hello, Robert

Very beautiful.
Your vocal perfectly fits this tune.
It is very nice and very natural to use the ordinary chord progression of D-Bm-G-A7, but using them shifting their bar lengths slightly.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
