Bob, obviously a very short song but man you did a lot in under 2 minutes! That cello was perfect to carry this one along! The track was a beautiful vehicle to carry your thoughts! Thanks, Torrey

Looking - Brooklyn what a great rhyme. Really creative fresh visuals too - dripping chalk. The tune was a bit repetitious for my taste but I get what you're going for - it's a style thing. smile Great job on your sound and extra kudos for such fresh creative lyrics.

I'm a sucker for a cello. Another brilliant set of lyrics. You really bring the listener into the song with your imagery.

Hi Bob,

This is such a good write.

I love your use of the cello to set the tone of this composition. A sense of sadness because of moving on resonated so clearly and poignantly. These lyrics are outstanding. That three line refrain at the end of each A-section is perfect.

I mention this just in case it is not something you've thought about (which is extremely unlikely), but as I listened, I would have loved to hear a cello solo between the 2nd and 3rd A-sections -- something like in the top clip below. I'd also experiment with such solo being unaccompanied just like in the uptempo clip below -- it's very effective to go from a band sound to unaccompanied cello.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this song of yours, Bob!

All the best,
Noel
