Find MeRT 683 Bass Drums Congas Ev8 RT 2762 Piano RT 405 Ac Gtr Strumming RT 1814 Ac Gtr RT 3770 Tin Whistle Find Me kids are kites in the wind we cut the strings trying to reach home sail above clouds sink under the sea hang on to your ticket to roam those days were so beautiful for the boys of mess and majesty if I ever lost sight of you close my eyes count to fifty do you ache ache for the way we used to be awake asleep endless endlessly under covers in the trees little brother do you see where the time goes find me you tumbled off my map in my memory you landed headfirst I`m falling to you like gravity to find someone must you lose them first you know I never tried to hide anywhere but in your eyes would you believe now there`s nothing in all my treasures more worn out than me I ache ache for the way we used to be awake asleep endless endlessly under covers in the trees little brother do you see where the time goes find me I sit in front of our movie screen dressed up for a journey do you ache ache for the way we used to be awake asleep endless endlessly under covers in the trees little brother do you see where the time goes find me © Robert Cordrey June 2022

Robert,
Very nice melodic tune. I love the instruments you used and I really like the mix. Great use of the background vocals. A thought provoking song and very easy listening.

WOW. What to say? Speechless.
Your voice sounds better than ever, somehow - and your interpretation and tone are so warm, it's so hard not to cry.
"you know I never tried to hide
anywhere but in your eyes would you believe
now there`s nothing in all my treasures
more worn out than me"
No words. Just wow ... and thank you for sharing.

Love the congas, tin whistle and BGVs, but always it's the lyrics that shine through. If I were to quote one line, I'd end up quoting all of them. Great poetry. Hope your brother gets to hear these gems. Excellent work!

Nice childhood story, vivid images full of nostalgia, like a photobook. Good vocals, enjoyed especially the lush harmonies. Melodically interesting, not so straightforward, but that's why this song is such a treasure.
Great arrangement, congas work nicely, and the tin whistle is really one of the best RTs PG Music has given to us.

Robert,
Very nice melodic tune. I love the instruments you used and I really like the mix. Great use of the background vocals. A thought provoking song and very easy listening. Thanks Brad, I`ve worked on the harmonies over the past few years and find that`s improved my singing generally. I appreciate your listen and comments. WOW. What to say? Speechless.

Hope your brother gets to hear these gems. Excellent work! TuneMonger, My bro` used to listen to my songs, not so sure now though... we are twins so its a connection that doesn`t stretch easily. Thank you for your very kind comments. Hi Robert ...

"do you ache ache for the way we used to be
awake asleep endless endlessly
under covers in the trees

Robert,
This is another great folk/rock sounding song! I love your lyrics! The chorus really has a beautiful flow and melody! That tin whistle really sounds great in here...I've never been able to utilize that instrument effectively in any of my stuff, but you made it sound right in this! Love the vocals and bgv! Enjoyed this!
Thanks, Torrey

This is another really rich sibling song that conjures up lots of childhood memories for both of us.
Your vocals sound great and the band suits the lyric so well.
The congas, piano and tin whistle “dance” very well together for the imagery.
We hope your brother hears this one!

Your lyrics are good as I expect they would be. The lyrics to the chorus really stand out for me: clever and poignant. And your melody is slightly unusual and extremely satisfying.

Thanks, Torrey Torrey, I appreciate those positive comments. I think you have to give the tin whistle a few regens to mix and match phrasing- glad you like it here. This is another really rich sibling song that conjures up lots of childhood memories for both of us.

Thank you, J&B Starting out songwriting I was probably expecting more family interest... now I`m content to hoe my row alongside the kindred spirits here! Your lyrics are good as I expect they would be. The lyrics to the chorus really stand out for me: clever and poignant. And your melody is slightly unusual and extremely satisfying. E.S. Thank you for your listen and likes. Robert

Hi Robert,
This is a very touching song. Your vocals work so nice in it.
Many emotions were released in me when listening to your beautiful song and lyrics.
You are the master on these kind of songs, Robert. At least to me.
