Very, very good. True to the songs that inspired it. Certainly cast a spell about me as I listened. Helicon harmonies were cool. Great work, RKC, another feather in your cap!
Good to hear you heard my influences.Thanks for listening and commenting.
Great song. Love the poetry in the lyrics.
Thank you Chris!
Well done. Story songs are hard but you did it here. I really love that fiddle player. It really adds a great touch to the song. Cool lyrics. Haunting lyrics. Great arrangement. Great use of BIAB. "Lie, lie, lie, to a pair of blue eyes." I like that a lot.
Establishing a strong form made the write easier; it could have gone on a lot longer
like those trad. English songs which were my inspiration.
I`m glad you liked the mountain fiddle.
Robert,
Great song!
This song is exactly the sound of your favorite genre.
It is full of originality.
I can see the ingenious chord progression as usual.
Especially the usage of Db is wonderful.
Your vocal fits this perfectly.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Thanks for those kind comments Shigeki!
Irrespective of the intervening issues with recording that is a fine RT/RD band
and vocal performance.
The toms were a very nice addition to the RD.
As Janice said, "he achieved that Gothic feel that he mentioned."
Yes he did and he melded it with a romantic overlay.
As is characteristic with your writes you painted a very vivid landscape with the lyric.
Well done!

J&B,
I think its cool many of the Americana RT`s ( like those toms) work well for this kind of song.
The lyrics were written after reading some E.A.Poe stories-now there`s a gothic master.
Thank you for your listens and support
Robert
