Dear Alan and Di,

Oh... my.... goodness....



If songwriting can be compared to baseball, this creation is out of the park; it's a home-run taken slow and easy! Wow!!!!

Right now I'm so in awe of what you've accomplished with this wonderful piece of music. It has competence, more competence and even more competence stamped all over it.

I love the way that this song begins with a feeling of minor mode and works it's way up the ladder of pitch and key to the chorus. I reckon that for anyone who has experienced loss, it would be impossible to listen to these words without the lyrics becoming personalised. Ultimately, that's what makes a great song. As I see it, when lyrics take on a specific meaning that's unique for each listener and then the melody and the arrangement amplify that personalised meaning, you've accomplished a mighty feat. Alan and Di, you have accomplished a mighty feat.

This truly is a wonderful piece of art.

Please stay safe and all the best,
Noel

P.S. Di it's great to see you still having a presence on this forum. You're an amazing and inspiring woman.
