Greg,

Here are my favorite lines:

"We drove my father’s truck that night, on Sutherland Road
Our hearts were filled with passion, emotions exposed
We swore undying love we never would forsake
The starlight dancing off of the lake

You left for college far away, later that year
I asked some friends about you, but never did hear
I joined the army and soon shipped out for the war
Still don’t know what the hell it was for

I got my discharge, came home last May
I heard you’d married, moved away
Guess your dreams were bigger now than this small town could hold
A world away from Sutherland Road

I heard your father passed away
I know you were home from just one day
I was drinkin’ at Eddie’s Bar and watched you walk on by
I nearly choked on the tears I couldn’t cry

Last night I found myself up on Sutherland Road
The soft grass glistened still, from the last time it snowed
I took my clothes off and I dove into that lake
Trying not to feel my frozen heart break"
.



This is songwriting at the highest level.
The lyric is incredible.
The melody is incredible.
The piano/cello treatment is perfect.
The vocal COULD NOT BE BETTER.

As. Good. As. It. Gets.

Period.
