I like some of the lyrical effects (the unexpected internal rhyme in the last line of each verse) but other parts sound clunky « the wheels of proGRESS ? ».

I much preferred I know it’s true, with its Chris Rea like soft-rock groove.
Like other commentators, I also appreciate your vocal clarity, even if I detect a slight Noel Coward like exaggerated delivery here and there.

Lyrically and in your interpretation, it really sounds that this song comes from the heart. But for all that, I find it hard to put my finger on the exact message in the song :
- true love will outlast all of life’s changes
- it’s impossible to understand kids
- where are the kids going wrong (or right ?)
- all of the above

Maybe you’re taking on too many different themes all in one piece, which is causing the confusion.





Marc,
I must say, you really make good observations! In order to say the things you've said here, you really had to invest some time listening and evaluating what he laid on the table for examination. Not everyone takes time to do that. Your comments always sound like the sort of thing a person would normally only hear if they paid big bucks to attend a songwriting workshop.
