Very nice delicate lyrics written around the title line.
Beautiful chord progression, not very country to me, rather reminds me of Alan Parsons work, thus falling into my favorite of your songs.
Great vocals, lovely sounding high notes.
The band sounds warm and the piano has that homely 80's vibe. The pedal steel works very well.
Janne Hi Janne, Many thanks for the review and the Alan Parsons reference. Pleased it made your favourites list. Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
A very enjoyable change of pace; reflective lyrics, strong melody and an excellent understated vocal with a nice hint of falsetto.
No guitar,well ok, just this once.
Us Brits do hear country differently- I like your take very much!
Robert Hi Robert, Yes, certainly a change of pace from my recent songs and thanks for the positive comments. I'm sure I'll be picking up the guitar again next time! As a Brit I don't find that writing Country is easy, so I'm pleased you liked it. Many thanks, ROG.

Superb production, everything here works very well indeed.
Lyrically intriguing, including masterful phrasing and topped off with an excellent vocal delivery, this song really has a lot to like about it. Hi Trev, Very nice comments and much appreciated. I particularly liked "Lyrically intriguing". Many thanks for looking in. Cheers, ROG.

This is a really nice song. Very strong write, arrangement, production and performance. You're in good company recording a country song that's not a country song but a great song even if it's really more a pop song.
Probably the most famous pop song featuring the pedal steel is "Teach Your Children" by CSN with Jerry Garcia brandishing the Pedal Steel. Then there's Three Dog Night covering an actual country write by Hoyt Axton but turning it into a top 10 (5) pop hit, "Never Been To Spain" with Rusty Young (Poco) doing the Pedal Steel honors. Even Paul McCartney got into the Pedal Steel when he recorded tracks for the "Juniors Farm" Album in 1974. The best known tune with PSG reached number 17 in the US with "Sally G".
There's much to like with your song and this is surely a favorite of mine. Enjoyed my listen.
Hi Charlie, Thanks for such a detailed review! I was fascinated by all the tracks you mentioned - thanks for taking the time to do that. Pleased it made your favourite list. Cheers, ROG.

This sounds really good. It's such a gentle song and sung quite well. My new favorite of yours.
You definitely have a winner here.

Great tune with a good hook! Not too country, more soft pop. But very, very good. Maybe the best I've heard from you. Excellent work!

ROG ...
I left a comment on this song last might ... but it somehow just disappeared. Will get back to you with a proper comment in the next day or so ... my time here is extremely limited right now. Great song ...

Great backing track with judicious use of pedal-steel. The song benefits from a strong lyric which I think deserves a slightly stronger vocal in the mix. However, lines such as "it looks like a change in the weather," suggests an affected disinterest - in which case a dispassionate tone is thoroughly appropriate. Well done.  Hi Ghostgum, Many thanks for detailed review - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

It may sound odd but we felt (you can blame it on Janice) that it gave a hint of Brian Wilson. The background, the melody and the lyric fit in with the feel of his many as Janice again says "pretty songs."
We are suckers for light airy mixes and this is an excellent one.
And the BiaB vocals were a nice delicate touch as was the judicious use of the steel.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Hi there J&B, Thanks for the listen and I'm more than pleased with the Brian Wilson reference. This might be the only "pretty" song I've written! I always value your comments - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

I'm back.
This is instantly one of my very favorites of yours. As far as genre, it reminds of some of the crossover groups of the 70s. Although this is not not an "Eagles-type" song, they never hesitated to add a pedal steel when needed. Rumor has they had a pretty good run! As I listen "Pure Prairie League came to mind, as far as style. But i think this is a bit more sophisticated than their music. But the eras have something to do with that, too.
Your vocal is great and sits perfectly in the mix - slightly back in the mix but yet clearly present.
So many good things to say about this one. But, since my time on these forums is very limited for a little while, so, please know I think you composed and delivered an ace of a song that was very enjoyable to listen to. Best to you ...
Alan

REALLY COOL.I do think the stereo vocal could be made mono or some of the treatment dropped to allow more clarity and a centered position. Hi Ray, Thanks for looking in and for the review. I appreciate your comments, but seriously my voice really needs that much treatment! Cheers, ROG.

Alan Hi Alan, First of all, I'm pleased that this has become one of your favourites of mine. "Pure Prairie League" took me back a few years - I'm going to have to look them up again. Pleased you liked the vocal because I'm always lacking in confidence about singing. So, many thanks for all the kind comments - much appreciated. Take care old friend and give my best to Di as well. Cheers, ROG.
