A wonderfully evocative tune and of course the lyrics are wonderful.

Lovely.

Thank you, Peter!

Nice! That'll certainly make the listener
want to stick around...

Fine vocals (really nice harmony), arrangement and mix.

The fiddle sits in perfectly with the great band choice.

Thanks for bringing it back!

J&B,
Opening lines are so important-coming up with a keeper one of the joys of songwriting!
Even a year on from this recording I can hear little things that I hope I`m doing better now, but I appreciate your kind comments... and it does feel good to have replaced the original Helicon harmonies with my own.

Gives me a (melancholic) smile on my face when listening. Love it!
Nothing to complain about...

Thanks for your listen...and for not complaining!

I honestly don't want to quote any of them, for fear of implying that some of them are better than the others, but I can't help it:

"When the lights of the last fishing boat
go winking out o`er the sea
and the eyelids of my children
are saying "yes" and "no" to sleep..."

Do you know how beautiful that is??? Who needs music when you can read such inspired poetry??? But, of course, the music only deepens the pleasure of reading/listening to the words.

My memory of listening to your Users' Forum posts over the years tells me that I've encountered this lovely gift of yours for composing words that evoke such moving feelings, many times before. Thank you for sharing that gift, again, with your fellow forum members!

Always waiting for more,

LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')



Loren,
Your review leaves me wordless- not a common occurrence, so thank you very much!
Since you kindly highlighted the opening lines though...on the original posting a few years back I think I told how I was riding my bike over the Lions Gate Bridge one dark morning and saw the lights of a small boat just going over the horizon-having just left a sleeping child at home, something connected the two images.
Thank you for your amazing review.

Robert
