That was awesome Robert! I admire so much your lyrical ability...wish I had the ability to weave words like you! A great little melody to boot also! Thanks, Torrey!

What a tune! I love the lyricism on this one. It really paints a pictures, and works beautiful with the chosen instrumentation. It makes it really vivid and powerful, and I connected with it immediately. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

We were perusing the forum and came back to this.
So even though we already commented we just wanted
to say that we feel you should seriously consider a
book of poetry.

Hi Robert,
Listening to these lyrics is like wandering around the shelves of a children's library. The imagery is very vivid. As usual, you've painted some excellent word pictures for the listener.
Another fine song for your collection!
All the best,
Noel

Finding truth in fiction. Yep.
Loved the americana band and the harmonica fills. Very easy to sink into this. Your lyrics are ever engaging and the melody of the title line is very strong and still singing in my head. Really nice one, Robert..

Beatiful lighthearted song, flows smoothly, carried by catchy melody and relaxed vocals. A story I can relate to, "his life would be adventures in quotes" - clever writing showing the inspiration and world behind your songs. Although I haven't much read books since childhood, I believe those hundreds I read are still a hidden source in many of my songs.
Janne Janne, Yes,those early reads leave a lifelong impression! Thank you for that kind very review. Really cool song Robert!! Nothing like a child's imagination is there? Reminds me a bit of a John Stewart song.....Pirates of something. Very well done!! Love the vocal!! Take care. Greg Greg, Well I know that guy`s excellent songs, but had forgotten his name- thanks for the reminder! I can tell by your lyrics that you're a reader.
Excellent instrumental choices. Nice build in the arrangement! Thanks for your listen. Robert

J&B J&B, I always think I`m too lazy a writer to be a poet..songwriting is way more forgiving! Thanks for having another visit with this. Hi Robert,

Robert,
A very enjoyable outsider folk tune. There is a lot to learn from your music, your lyrics and your vocals. And stories you tell!
P.S. Forgive me if the word "outsider" does not sit well with you, I mean it in a good way.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Robert,
This is the genre you are best at.
Comfort is transmitted.
The second chord is ingenious.
It is very effective.
Your vocals are narrative and wonderful as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
