Hi Marty,
I love this song. It sits so comfortably on the ears. Your band is extremely well chosen and the laid-back feel of the arrangement is really soothing on the psyche.
Kudos to Bill and Dave, too. Their contributions shine!
Stunning work!
All the best,
Noel

Smile on my face the whole time I listened to this. The accordion may have been an after thought but it sure fits right in with the other instruments.
Great job on the mix.

Upbeat and fun! I was expecting something a bit darker, given the chorus lyric.  Great vocal, and the guitar solo was perfect.

I'm a sucker for a steel guitar, and this one sounds great. Good ideas, great title. Thanks, Brad. Marty
Lovely song and great playing by all involved - had the guitar in my hand and jammed along with Dave.
Really good stuff.
Peter Yeah, I'd love that jam to happen, Peter. Thanks. When three outstanding musicians get together you know that the song will be fantastic and this song proves that.
I really like this Jimmy Buffet style, great job on that.
Everything about this one is top shelf.
Loved it. Thanks for the love, Mario. Cool tune Marty. Excellent vocal lyric. Love the groove to the tune. Basslines were excellent. Loved the pedal steel and Daves guitar work. Well done.
Thanks, Scott. It means a lot.

Hi Marty!
It is a very nice song, with good lyrics and also a bit actual.
And... I listened to this moment of time and ejoyed it!
(but i always enjoy your songs and the special way you sing. Always gives me a smile.
I agreed with Ray about the Tex Mex thing. I also had that feeling you would go a bit faster during the song. But you stayed in tempo!
That was a good thing too for Dave, when playing his marvelous solo.
Hans

" Listen to the birds as they sing to the wind. Listen to the wind sing back.
Oh, take it all in and you'll widen your grin. It takes no special knack."
Great lines! We spent some time today doing nothing but listening to birds ... and the wind was blowing.
The pedal steel was perfecto as was the accordion (we've used it and it is indeed ace).
As always, yours and Dave's performances were excellent and the vid is one of our favorites of yours.
All of Bill's contributions were great too!
Enjoyed it!

Cool tune Marty. Excellent vocal lyric. Love the groove to the tune. Basslines were excellent. Loved the pedal steel and Daves guitar work. Well done.
Thank you, Scott --for your comment here AND for all the comments you place elsewhere on my songs. Much appreciated. Nice change of pace Marty! Kind of a Jimmy Buffet sound and you pull it off nicely! Great contributions by your session men! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. Yes, those guys sure added a ton of excitement to the whole project. I agree with the Jimmy Buffet sound, but man this was a great song to listen to. It just automatically hooks you from the first chords!! Thank you, Ronnie. Marty...what a fun listen...this song fits your voice so well and great job by Bill on the harmony...love the tempo and feel of the song too...and as usual I love the videos you put with your songs! Thanks, Dan. To me, my voice doesn't fit any song, but I'm glad you liked it.

Lovely story, I surely had time to listen to what you had time to tell  It told me to live in the moment and not to worry about tomorrow. Your songs have always some familiarity (Save The Last Dance For Me came to my mind in this case) but still lots of originality. Comforting vocals. Excellent solo. And that accordion is excellent, really adds to the mood. Excellent work with the video! Like all those clocks. Janne

You're a star. What else is there to say? A positive-sounding song, at first glance, with a profound message embedded therein. You sound just fine singing, please don't put yourself down :-) I loved the video, how much time (haha) did it take you to do it? No matter - I really, really enjoyed it. The writing is great. No quibbles! Truly well done!

Leon Thanks, Leon. Seems everybody is loving that accordion. Zydecoal Bill was a good choice. Dave is always an excellent choice. Hi Marty,

Great job on the mix. Thanks, Jim. That's the cool part about collaborations: start with with a song you feel you like, then others add the special sauce, and voila. Thanks for listening.

Your answer: Thanks, Hans. Yes, faster would have shown the urgency, but the idea is to ignore time. hehe
Me: I was blinded by the subtitle "who will listen" and that was wrong: time is the essence! So rushing is not a wise thing to do. At least not on our age...
Nice weekend,
Hans

Thanks so much for listening and commenting, Derochett.
Thanks, Janne. You surely get it, man.
Thanks, James (musician17). I try not to spend too much time on making the vidz, but I do.
Thanks for stopping back, Hans. You are right!! I am old.

Marty, Bill, Dave Brilliant! Has a very special melody, that I can't put my ear on... It reminds me of several big time European bands, but no one in particular. When this happens, I know it is a good one Excellent lyrics and vocals. Cool pedal steel and solo guitar work! Marty, grand job of making all work together. It does sound unique and special. Accordion fits VERY well. Congrats team and thank you for sharing. P.S. Nice video too! Misha.
