That was really interesting to listen to. I have never heard that story before. How inspiring this forum can be sometimes...

Thanks a lot for sharing that gem of a song!

Nice one Robert.


I appreciate your succinct sum-up, Ray... and listening back to this I knew you`d say it had a Tom Rapp feel!

Dani,
I can`t find that tv show you reference, but appreciate your listen and interest.

Janice's first comment was that she felt as though she was
floating over the maps. The groove does offer that indeed.

The flute was an excellent choice. Also the congas work very well.

Really well done and the addition of the right video track would be something to behold!

J&B,

I hope I don`t go looking for odd song topics- they just come naturally from an interest in the quirky things I come across.
Its always interesting to me that your comments indicate a sharing of listens and opinions on forum songs between yourselves... making music a cool family affair!

Lovely work - almost an Al Stewart vibe to it.

Engaging lyric, well sung and a nice band to back it up.

Nice backstory, explains the lyrics and the fitting title. Very pleasant folk tune, singing and instruments support each other well, the flute is nice addition.

Robert,
I thought I had commented on this a couple days ago, but reading through the replies I don't see mine. I must have gotten distracted before saving it.

Having now listened to this as well as your recent collaboration, I think its safe to say that you are an original thinker. To my ears everything you do sounds unique. Perhaps your influences are just not on my radar, and within a certain genre you walk in lockstep with that crowd.. but somehow I doubt that.

Every song writer hopes to write something unique and interesting. That appears to be your forte. I look forward to hearing more from you.

WOW. W-O-W. WOW!!!

Are you the most sensitive writer on here? I don't know, but this is certainly one of the most sensitive and sensitively sung and rendered songs I have ever heard on here. Your voice just glides through the notes, with never so much as a bump - as if just caressing them. The story you tell, you draw the listener in ... and what a beautiful story and way to tell it. So much talent ... lend me some? haha ;-) Seriously, well done.
