Greg and Floyd, thanks for the kind comments.

Floyd...I wound up getting 'hooked' after I listened to my track multiple times. I like the way the RT piano generated so much that I wasn't willing to substitute something else, or even re-gen it...decided I had to either 'fix' the clicks or just live with it. I must have gotten lucky that the 'busy-ness' played out for me. Thanks again.

Tom,

Very beautiful song!
The melody is so sentimental and sweet.
You are a really great melody-maker.
The chord progression trick before entering "You and I, we go back a long, long ways..." is wonderful.
The piano fits perfectly as if it was written purposely for this song.
The additional strings, pad, block are modest, but they exist just where they should be.
Children's laughter is very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki, thanks for your kind comments! I must have learned that "chord progression trick" by listening to the masters--thanks for noticing it!

The poignancy of this write is well supported by the vocal, instrumental tracks and mix.

It's all there and, man, does it ever deliver...

Very nice!

Dear "Tano Music"...

Looks as though as I read too much into your lyrics frown !!!

Regardless, "Leaving Home" has a profound emotional gravity that makes it memorable long after listening to it.

As a composer, and especially as a lyricist, you're an interesting songwriter, "Tano Music".

Sincerely,

LOREN

Loren, I went back and read your initial comments on my song. Thanks for thinking it was much more spiritual, but I really wasn't thinking that deeply...and it is a kind of "end of life" story--but in a more material way; thanks for seeing that it might be an analogy into something deeper.

Dear "Tano Music"...

You're welcome...and thanks to you for composing a song so evocative that it could invite differing interpretations!
