Deej & Dave,
Really nice song!
Very good melody and very nice chord progression.
I especially like this chord progression.
Your voice fits perfectly the style of this song and the heartfelt lyrics.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Just one thing I'd like to add: I've heard much of Deej56's stuff on SoundCloud, including many of the songs he's posted on here. I honestly think he is a star and I, for one, am not fit to lace his boots - that goes without saying. Seriously, though - what a musician. The voice is distinctive - one of those voices that, if you switch on the radio and hear it, you'll immediately recognise it. The nuances and phrasings are out of this world because you can tell how heartfelt they truly are - and, especially when he writes his own lyrics and music, it's worth putting everything you're doing aside and listen. Through this song here, he's shown how good he is at singing other people's music, too.
I've asked some family members of mine to listen to your songs, too - just to get a "second opinion", so to speak. Every one of them concur - your songs are, in their words, classics. So please don't stop creating, that's all I want to say - you are unique with that distinctive voice of yours and your lyrics and music tell stories so worth listening to. I'm grateful I've come across your music.

Janice & Bud, Joe, tommyad, Peter janne, TuneMonger, Tangmo, Scott, Shigeki, and James:
Thank you all for taking the time to give this a listen and for your kind feedback. It seems you all enjoyed the tune, which makes me feel good knowing, hopefully, that I’ve done Dave Rice’s fine tune some justice.
James: A special shout out for your enthusiastic support . . . not sure I quite live up to your kind praise . . . but, boy, it sure is nice to read. Thank you so much for that . . . it’s not only made my day, but my week . . . and quite likely my year!
Like everyone here, I’m sure, creating music is not so much a choice, but what we are compelled to do. And so as long as I’m breathing, I’ll be giving it my best . . . and as long as there folks willing to give it a listen . . I’ll be game to share. Thanks again for the too, too kind words.
My best to each and all of you!
Deej

You're welcome. I stand by every word I said. And, the other thing: exactly as you say, we all (the musicians that we are) don't really have a choice in the matter - we write because we wouldn't be able to carry on breathing otherwise; to us, creating music is as natural and as vital as that. I wish some others (such as some close to me that do not share this passion, to whom this "having to create" thing is quite foreign, alien, bemusing and even confusing) would understand this; i.e. that a musician HAS to live and breathe music, that it's not something you can switch on and off like a light bulb. So it's fantastic to see others that share this passion in the same way. I'll be doing the same as you, therefore - give it my best for as long as I'm around. I love listening to other people create, also, so I'll always have an ear open to hear new creations, too ... and, believe me, I can be quite direct if I don't like what I hear! haha. So: I know it's not really the done thing to praise others and express one's emotions in the way that I have about your music; but forget convention, if I find something amazing, I will say it (and if I find it rubbish, I will also say it!). So keep writing and sharing - and I will do the same :-)

Hey Deej, Like others said, I really like the sparse arrangement here, very beautiful in its simplicity. The vocals are outstanding. I love this tune.

Furry,
Thanks for the listen and kind words. . . at least, I think, as you may have intended them for Scott . . . but I’ll adopt them regardless!
My best to you,
Deej

Deej,
This is absolutely splendid.
The melody, the lyrics, the arrangement and production and, most importantly, your outstanding performance left me speechless. This is first class music by every measuring stick. In all sincerity, I'm blown away by how wonderful this is. The build up of emotional intensity in the chorus resonated throughout all of my being.... very powerful listening!
I love the angst in your voice and that note where you stretch up into head voice left me spellbound.
If I had to use a single word to describe this, I'd say, "Exquisite".
All the best,
Noel
