Steve, your delivery of this fine write is stunning. Your vocal is so easy on the ear it is completely understandable that many may miss the nuances of your fine playing and arrangement. I expect nothing less than a smartly engineered sound and as always your mix is stellar. I wish the best for you and your wife. Stay safe and be well, Tom

You have a very haunting voice Steve. I cried on this song because I lost my mother in 2017 form a brain tumor called a Gleioblastoma; one of the most aggressive tumors that exist. This explains my story exactly! Take the long way home I don't want to be alone, in a house as empty as a shell. What relates to me here is that when you loose somebody that you loved your whole life all of a sudden is gone; and you are in a house as empty as a shell, and the chair that they used to sit in is now empty, and the place that they used to sit at the dinner table is now empty from their absence. And you are taking the long way home because you don't want to be there without having them there. Also, the line I know that I'll be fine, It's just gonna take some time For me to learn just how to say farewell. Yes, this is a very powerful line because you know that years from now you will be fine, but it's not always that easy learning how to say farewell to someone that was so near and dear in your life. The part about I knew it happened everyday, the words that no one wants to hear and to me that was cancer that was in my mom, because it just happened all of a sudden, and you just don't know what to say because this disease is so devastating when someone gets it to me cancer to others something else, like the "corona virus" They don't know were to go from here, because after you've lost that loved one you are really confused and you really don't know what to do.I never thought it would be you, it had to be somebody else, because you never think of the things that happen that are so serious we all take these things for granted and all of a sudden wham it happened to someone you know and loved. And the part that is a real heart wrenching part of this song is, If i could choose between the two I'd gladly offer up myself. This means to me, you would rather it be you than them, in my case my mom. I told her if I could take her place I would. I broke down your song because you touched my heart in a way that nothing else has in a long time since my mom passed away. Thanks for the great song. I know that my mom is in such a better place I miss her so much.

Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Often a vocal is convincing and the lyric isn't.
Often a lyric is convincing and the vocal isn't.
And more rarely they both are and this is a GREAT example of that conjunction.
And when you back it with a fine band and production the makings are there for a truly excellent song as this is.
It's already been alluded to but your vocals, as always, display a level of sincerity and soul -- a combination that will immediately capture us.
It is a lovely and lovingly done tribute to all of those people.

PS The video was very supportive of the message.

Steve
Beautifully done - superb vocal and lyric. Just lovely.
Best wishes from here in Australia we can see you are all doing it very tough over there.
Peter Thanks, Peter! Appreciate your kind words about the song, and especially your best wishes from Australia! This is definitely a situation that connects us together all over the world. Best wishes to you from the USA as well! Hi Stephen,
Again, a beautiful song from you with that nice, dark voice of yours. Very sensitive and good lyrics. Very good production all together. One little observation: I noticed on SoundCloud your song sounded -slightly- better than on the video. How come? My ears?
Cheers, Hans Thank you, Hans, for your very kind words! I think it probably depends on when you stream the song. Since Vimeo is predominantly video, it probably has times that it can more easily be overloaded, due to all the video streaming that people all over the world are doing, during a practically world-wide time of shelter at home. Video takes up a much larger bandwidth than audio does. So probably best to watch my video at about 3am. Steve, your voice gives me shivers, it expresses the fragile life simply perfectly. The simple arrangement with long holds leaves room for thoughts while listening to those deeply touching words. Strings and the fiddle complete the masterpiece. I just cannot listen to another song after this breathtakingly beautiful melody and words.
Janne Janne, you are too kind! I so appreciate you generous comment on my song, and I am so glad you like it. Thanks so much for taking time to listen and post your thoughts. Blessings to you... === Steve

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
