Thank you, Ember!

you`ve lost everything you ever touched just like me. What a great image of stuff being carried by the wind but not forever. Wonderfully hopeful, but not a bit saccharin. Carried well by your vocals and lifted well by that lovely, simple backing band.


Tangmo,
I`m so glad you found the lyrics interesting... and not too sugary.
Thanks for commenting.

Leon,
Now that the Spirit Level songs take me further away from "pleasant" its a nice reminder to go back there sometimes.

A good write. Terrific blown-by-the-wind imagery. Nice melody, too.

Very nice arrangement. Very good vocal. And BGVs. Good mix.

Does not sound "dated" in any way. Definitely a keeper...

Enjoyed the listen.

Floyd,

Man, I have so much respect for your abilities as a lyricist! Just fantastic imagery.

Track sounds great, Robert, not dated to these ears.


Dave,
I still listen to some of the greats (Emmylou Harris, Garth etc)from that era of music
when lyrics were so well crafted; hopefully something sticks when I write.
Thank you for hearing some good things in this!

Robert
