A gentle flowing tribute...
The lyrics fit well in the composition...
I especially like the lines...
"death seems like a music box
with a handle I can`t turn"
Vivid & graceful...
Well done!
Jim,
Thank you for those kind comments.
WOW what outstanding lyrics sung with so much passion. Your instrumentation and the style you chose fits the mood perfectly. Scott's guitar is excellent, as always.
You two should be very proud of this one.
Thank you,Mario!
Lots of great poetry in this, I enjoyed it very much. "Stars jewel your hair" one of many great lines. Those guitar breaks were perfect.
I appreciate your listen and thumbs up.
Truly moving. It really captures a moment and a feeling, and brings it alive in the listener - a common thread in all great songs. Excellent collaboration on this.
Recording this many years on certainly brought back feelings from the time it was written.
Thanks for commenting.
You have THE voice for this mixture of lamentation and sad optimism.
Ray expressed in one sentence what we've tried to say for years. Yes!
It's simply hard to express how strong that lyric is. Amazing. "Thought provoking" as floyd said.
And your vocal along with Scott's melodic playing make it even all the more powerful.
As always you chose the perfect band for the production and mixed a fine soundstage.
Well done indeed!
J&B
RayC, J&B,
I do appreciate those generous thoughts.
That`s a strong statement from RayC- its making me uncomfortable,a little boxed in; so next outing with Scott will be something completely different without a trace of lamentation!
