I agree, this is a Marty Robbins type tale of woe!

Super backing tracks, mix, outstanding lyrics and one very power vocal.

You should be very proud of this one.

Very good.

Robert said it all. Reminded us thematically of The Long Black Veil.

Well done!

The subject is indeed a bit sombre, but what could you expect with a title like this...
But it also applies to a situation I'm in now. So I'm convinced you must have sensed that ;-).

Nice weekend,
Hans

Rob,

What a great opening line—and excellent lyric overall. Terrific touches on the production—nicely layered. And the vocal just fits—great job on the harmonies. Liked this one a lot.

My best to you,

Deej

This kind of music takes me back in time to when I was a kid, hearing "classic" country music on AM radio.

Nicely done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Rob,
you have a special relation with darker flavor tunes. This is a very poetic piece. Well performed and put together! Enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing!

I like the dark mood of the lyrics and your deep voice supports it excellently. Nice melancholy chording. Arrangement and mix are great, I like especially the nylon guitar, it could have been used bit more.

Hi Rob,


I enjoyed listening. The writing, presentation and final production are excellent.

My favourite lines were...

"In time you'll forget me a long lost tragedy
As I lay six feet beneath clay"

The rhyme between 'forget me' and 'tragedy' is very fresh and my ears loved hearing it and image of lying 6' beneath clay was very vivid!

Terrific work!
Noel
