My first thoughts were John Denver but this is way more complex vocal wise. The strings are a good touch. Very pretty emotional tune. Really enjoyed my listen. Nicely done. Rob

Robert,
This has a very haunting sound. The backing, your vivid lyric imagery sung with soft and gentle vocals and the restful flow of lyrics and melody created a very pleasant effect. Your choice of instrumentation was excellent. You captured my imagination!
All the best,
Noel

Well done! The strings were especially lovely, especially in stereo.
Nicely sung, evocative lyrics.
The sparse arrangement works really well.

Very nice, Robert!
As always lots of great lines. My favorite:
"I`ve seen other dreams show up a day too late
a dollar short a little out of tune"
Nice job on the track too, I like it when the strings come in and the chingching loop is subtle and effective.

Robert,
"Lovely" describes this in so many ways...
A lovely write, a lovely arrangement - perfect RT choices, A lovely vocal...
"in your bangles and petals I guess you heard
B-side songs from a lonely room"
Nice.
(This once brought to mind Murray McLauchlan)

Bob Bob, Thank you! I`ve been working on a formula for vocals on the folky tunes that sure makes the mixing easier. Glad you liked this. Robert My first thoughts were John Denver but this is way more complex vocal wise. The strings are a good touch. Very pretty emotional tune. Really enjoyed my listen. Nicely done. Rob Thanks Rob, I appreciate the listen and positive comments. Robert Robert,

All the best,
Noel Noel, Good to hear that the effect was pleasant- funnily enough I found the lyrics on this song difficult ( many rewrites), so thank you for saying the result of my struggles has a flow! Robert

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

Well done! The strings were especially lovely, especially in stereo.
Nicely sung, evocative lyrics.
The sparse arrangement works really well. Thank you, glad you liked this. The high/low violins seemed to work better than cello on this song ( and eliminates that niggly question about panning for the solo). Robert
Beautifully done in all aspects - lyrically, vocally and composition wise.
Lovely sound and excellent work.
Peter That`s very kind, Peter - a big thank you! Robert Very nice, Robert!

Nice job on the track too, I like it when the strings come in and the chingching loop is subtle and effective. Dave, I`m always pleased when the lyrics stand out... but especially for a guitarist! Thanks for your listen and positive comments. Robert Robert,

fj Floyd, And there`s me thinking only Canadians listened to Murray - he wrote some good songs, so thanks for that... and all your supportive feedback. Robert

Robert, you have a powerful talent for visual imagery.
from a tower of clouds you can calculate
openings in the sky
`til someone dances through your design
springtime in her eye
Wonderful.
