Robert,
Great feel to this song. Some really creative near rhymes in this song that work well and a poetic, emotive write Terrific production work on this as well. I’m not sure how I feel about the Bowie lyric reference. I get the rationale, but that line is somewhat iconic—perhaps if it were more clear a reference to that song, it might work better for me and divert my attention less. A subjective comment—it will hit people in different ways—but offering it up for what it’s worth.
Enjoyed this one! Nice work!
All my best,
Deej Thanks for the positives, Deej. For an iconic line its surprising how few folks seem to recognize it, though I take your point it will be distracting to some. Love the imagery and the pedal steel is one of my favorites. A song that your mind can drift on and be interpreted by the listener. Interesting lyrics. Thank you for the kind review! Hi Robert ...
I have to admit the reference passed right by me. But, at the time, i was playing nothing but what was then Contemporary Country ... 25-28 nights a month. So, 98% of my listen was country.
Regardless, this is one really great song. You've painted your own musical landscape ... a soundscape, I suppose ... that is so magnetic. it just clings to your brain ... in the best of ways. there's a magnetism that makes this wonderful listen cling to your soul. Such a wonmderful delivery!
Wishing you the very best ...
Alan Alan, I appreciate that poetic description and your support for my endeavors! Robert

Rob, I think this is your best to date. Super nice rhythm section. Your vocal is excellent but your lyrics took it over the top for me.
Great song.

We've never listened to Bowie...other than very peripherally...so the reference blew by us. Bowie's popularity was during our lost bluegrass years  Irrespective of all that we enjoyed the walk across another one of your always creative and vivid sonic landscapes. As always you tell a story that leaves plenty of dots for the listener to connect. We like that. Standouts for us were your vocals and the steel. We've used that RT several before and feel it is one of the best. It adds so much and distracts from nothing. Really nice. J&B Thanks very much J&B! The pedal steel solo gives me goosebumps; tempting to just let it go on. Robert

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard on here.
A masterpiece from every aspect ... music, lyrics, performance. The lyrics are so moving ... the writing is sublime and you sing it with your trademark, so to speak, sensitivity.
I am not going over the top with any of my comments, by the way ... this is, far and away, an extraordinary song to my ears - and I'm not shy in saying so. The sensitivity, sadness and communication levels are off the scale - incredible. Hats off to you.

Hurray, I got the quote. I was worried I would not and would look stupid. But it stood out pretty well. And the rest of the words were jewels as well. A pleasure to read and listen to.
