This is a class act of a song. The musical writing and performance are wonderful, but the lyrics make it go that all-too-crucial extra mile. The memory of the smoke and the line about the sand are particular highlights. Wow. Nothing else to say - just that this song made me feel as if I was there with the character and his memories. And that's something special to convey to a listener, I feel. Thanks for sharing this and sincerest congratulations. That is a terrific review. Thank you much,Tom

Olfactory memories, like Leon said, can catch you off-guard and- in this case, prompt you to buy a pack of Lucky's. Love it, Tom. Everything about it. Really top-notch. Marty, the thought of cigarettes never entered my mind. I, like many of us I’m sure have put that type of smoke far in the past. Although a good cigar does keep away the mosquitoes. As I recall she wasn’t a cigar smoker either. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the comments coming from a fine musician as yourself, Tom

Several great lines in this song: 'if you ever hold on to a little bit of sand
the tighter you squeeze the more it runs through your hand' and 'We wrapped ourselves in love and wore it so well' were my favorites. And sung so well! Excellent work! TM, I thank you for the very thoughtful comments, Tom Another quality write. Everything is top notch. Glad you liked it Herb, Tom

Tommy,
Magnetic from the start—really crisp, fulsome sound. Terrific write, great lines throughout—love that pre-chorus (both the writing, but also the melody that goes with—great lead in to the chorus). Nothing not to like here . . . just a really excellent country tune. Impressive tune.
All my best
Deej

Beautiful song Tommy. It is amazing how powerful our senses are. A sound, a fragrance can take you back to a place in time. Beautiful lyric an awesome vocal and guitar work. Well done Scott, I’m glad you liked it,Tom Big drums, good instrumentals, nice mix. Subtle backing vocals, nice sound!
I like the phrasing, especially the I still smell smoke.
Favorite line: Before I knew it she was in my past.
I really enjoyed listening! David, thanks for pointing all that out. I appreciate your support,Tom

Hello tommyad,
It is a beautiful composition. I enjoyed the introduction of the mandolin. The melody and the mix are well done. And everything pleases the ear. Well done.
Happy new year
Kindly regards

Tommy, This is powerful and great! Well done! I remember my first girlfriend. I still smell smoke too, but I think it was a different kind of smoke.  Merry Christmas.

What the heck to say? Leon set the piano on fire and exited the stage after his comments You threw it all out there ... Great vocals, write, instrumental performances and your always high production values with those RT's, loops and TA. Cool to hear the mando in there too. "Back in the day Before it all went to hell We wrapped ourselves in love And wore it so well" Janice wanted to single that out as it flowed so well... J&B Thanks for all that. Reviews like this make it easy to continue this creative journey. Your support means everything,Tom

Olfactory reminiscence is a powerful thing.
I woke from a dream yesterday with the smell of smoke in my head.
I blame you.
The pre chorus & chorus really work a treat building and lifting.
Ace Tommy, ace.
Cheers
