Bob, you are quite the weaver of words! Frankly, I am envious of how you can kick out high quality tunes like this in such rapid succession! I love those little guitar swells you used so effectively! Little touches like that really make a song! Thanks, Torrey

"The Tappan Zee is thick with cars" sounds like a Paul Simon line. I think it's good you kept some mystery about the nature of her fighting. Frustrating sometimes for the fan/listener, but it's what the big writers do, so it must be right.

Hi Bob ...

You have one of the most signature sounds on the forum. You are a master of taking 2 or 3 chords, add a little here and a little there and come up with a fantastic, mind-blowing song. The strength of your lyric has already been noted several times and I couldn't agree more. You're imagination makes so many turns and seems to always end up at the perfect place.

Love the song and have a full appreciation for your work. Wishing you the best ...

Alan

As with all of your songs and lyrics this is engaging and reflective. The acoustic guitar is beautifully used here.

Great write and wonderful listen!

The two chord insistence is a stroke of genius Bob, it so matches the sentiment of the lyrics. Another cracker of a song, superbly produced.

I listened to this the other day and was just so taken by it. The songwriting is superb and the lyrics so hard-hitting, you've really got a gift.
