I really like this, Robert. Well written as always.
Love the the harmonies during the chorus, and very effective bringing back that first verse for the ending.
Enjoyed!

Style fits the (very poetic) lyrics perfectly, cello enhances the mood and the sound fx clinches the deal. Well done.

Robert,
This is really good. On every level.
Excellent write. Definitely a new favorite. The short phrases really show off your lyric strengths.
Good BAND. Good vocal. They fit together really well. The shaker is the perfect choice for RD/percussion. There are times when the cello and acoustic bass get pretty "bass-y" (like at the first "take me with you") - the combination of their low frequencies - rolling off a bit of low end on one of them might open that up some.
Cool ending. (maybe a little louder than it needs to be?)
I very much enjoyed this. Great job.

Robert, Nice airy tune. Cello was an excellent choice! Lyrics...something I look up to  A good contrast to your denser tunes. Listens very well. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Great song, I love when I completely 'get' your lyrics as I did with this one. (Cryptic is good, too, usually) Really like all your musical choices, made for a great piece. Excellent!

Robert,
A very poetic write, coupled with your usual stellar vocals—real pretty tune. I was particularly struck by these lines:
"I know that look
in your open book
you lost your place"
But there were a bunch that really resonated here. Very well done, Robert!
All my best,
Deej

Thanks Floyd, Combining a cello and bass is tricky ( I dropped the bowed bass in the style as the clash was too much)- will have a look at the low end eq again. I appreciate your alert listen and kind comments! Robert

"I know that look in your open book you lost your place" Deej already quoted that but, hey, it's our fav too. Well, another fav that Janice just mentioned "take me with you show me all the hues that makeup your blues in the deep" We much like the vocals, nice harmony, and the acoustic guitars and cello were tailor made for the composition. Janice, the eternal child, said she was already envisioning tree frogs and fireflies (lightening bugs as us Southerners call them) before the tag. I sometimes speculate that perhaps children are not meant to be understood... Nice! J&B

Robert ...
You give poetic music a new and higher definition. So much said in so few words. And the vocal is wonderful! The acoustic backing, with such a nice arrangement, only adds to the sentiment and power presented the well-chosen words. This is really something to be proud of. So very nice!
Best to you. Be safe ...

Very cool.
Personally I'd've ditched the bass and let the cello cover the bottom end with a little EQ to increase the bottom E on the finger picked acoustic, and panned those up the middle I suppose.
Cheers

Deej That`s very kind- thank you! "I know that look in your open book you lost your place" Deej already quoted that but, hey, it's our fav too.

I sometimes speculate that perhaps children are not meant to be understood... Nice! J&B Please let Janice know that the opening lines ( which is where the song idea came from) were exactly that experience of night creatures (bats/bugs/birds- heard, felt, not seen) from tropical nights. I agree with your observation about understanding kids... one that level the song is an example of trying too hard to make sense of their world! Robert

Hi Robert,
A sweet melody, melancholic and so nicely sung!
As others already said; the cello fits so nice in it, a good instrument for this song!
And -as usual- brilliant lyrics!
I hope one day I can write one of this kind...
Hans

A lovely delicate piece (almost a Nick Drake feel) well performed and arranged.
A very enticing lyric, and overall very well done.

A lyric to melt into delivered with soft grace. The band is all it needs to be, and the progression (and melody wrung from it) moves me as well. Excellent package.

I enjoyed the simple poetic lyric, mysterious imagery expressed in few words. Not a haiku but I had to count the syllables The beautiful chording works very well with the picking guitar and that nice melodic cello. Great ending like falling into a colorful dream. Janne
