Noel,

I hope my observations did not come across as something I thought you SHOULD have done. Far from it, I think the song is very well conceived and doesn't need to change a bit. My intent was only to use the topic at hand (your song) as a springboard for discussion of possibilities in general, across all songs. You strike me as a man of possibilities, and so it seemed like a safe place to venture.

Your reasoning is very well considered in my opinion. And I thank you for taking time to state openly the inner mechanics of your song writing.. it makes the whole process of writing a song seem less intimidating when I see it as a series of logical and attainable smaller steps.

I'm glad that there is no set of binding rules for songwriting, but rather combinations of technique that are known to be pleasing to the ear. It is fun to learn the various techniques and apply them differently to songs according to the effect one hopes to achieve.

I am inspired by the way you approach the craft of song writing. I am not so sure I will ever have my brain wrapped around these concepts as well as you seem to, but I am having fun watching from the sidelines, learning bits and pieces as my brain will allow.

Thanks for sharing your music and your thinking. I appreciate both.

Hi Pat,

Not in the least! I appreciated your thoughts and your posts. They were very insightful. You comments parallel my thinking in many many ways. I included the above comments regarding a couple of aspects of how I approach lyric writing because I know that you are a man who likes to understand the nuts and bolts of process.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel, How remiss of me. I thought I had replied to you before now but I see I didn't.
I have nothing further to add (it has all been said) except I really liked it.
You are getting a lot better, you seem to have found your voice
Keep 'em coming.

Best regards
michee

Although I sometimes analyze songs, I prefer not to.
For me, it clouds the enjoyment of listening.
Nicely done. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am not a lyric analyst and normally I find a sense of lyrical completion on every song posted on this Forum. When I post a song, it's to confirm or not that the production supports the song and does not distract my attention from the overall production/performance.
I too would rather listen than analyze unless help or input is requested specifically by the author.

Hi Mick Emery,

I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the song.

I have no problem with people analyzing the songs I post and offering their suggestions. This is why I post them. During my time on these boards, I have found that the detailed analyzes that many people freely share is extremely valuable in opening my eyes to new ideas that help me strengthen my songs. The many and varied thoughts of people such Ian, marc, Jeff, Pat, Skyline, flatfoot, Sundance, Mike sings, RickeG and many others, have helped me immensely in honing my skills. To be frank, I wouldn't be where I am without such comments.

Thank you for having a listen, Mick. I really appreciate the positive feedback.

Kind regards,
Noel
