I did write a song my wife liked - once, then I added lyrics, melody & vocal after which she no longer liked it...after 37 years of marriage I'd have hoped for a better score.
Your voice makes this work...it resonates with the lyrics and swings the hook well. Ha, that's funny, Ray. My wife likes most of my stuff. Me and the Missus are 35 years together. Scott,
I thought I could sing low, but you really can!
Sounds great!
The song is impressive, it lingers.
Very well done!
Anne-Marie Anne-Marie: Thanks so much. I was near the bottom of my range in this one. Scott
Very impressive vocal, excellent work.
Good moody song and a strong production all round.
Peter Thanks, Peter. I appreciate the feedback.

Scott,
Really super instrumentation here. And what a vocal!!
This reminds me of Neil Diamond.
You have a very Neil Diamond vocal sound going here, your best vocals ever in my opinion.
I think you set yet another bar for yourself here.
Well done, sir.

Hi Scott ...
Well, my wife liked this one ... as did I! The backing tracks are clean easily distinguishable in their own respective spaces. Your vocal is stronmg! There's a lot to like here. Glad I had the chance to listen. Really nice.
Alan Alan, it's good to hear from you again and listening to your work on the forum. Thanks! Very nicely done!!! I like the way you made the "one time" and "Falling" lines repeat each verse to tie it together!! Vocal and mix are just what the song needs!! Everything works! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg, for picking out my favorite parts of the lyric. Great sound! Wonderful production. Man do I like how you got those guitars working together so well. This song just seems to catch you from the very first note. The bass guitar and the strumming acoustic with the finger picking is excellent, and then as you add the other instruments it just really builds well. I always like your vocals, and you did a great job with them here. Keep cleaning off that shelf man, I like 'em!
Brad Brad, thanks for the listen. I took me a while to find the right combination of guitars that I wanted.

Great song! Your vocal is powerful and the dynamics really make the song breathe. We’re glad you revived this lyric and would love to have one like it waiting on a shelf.  Great band (cello is super) and mix too. Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi, Scott. Technically you can only write your best song once. Also, which one that is is a matter of opinion. Ok, I agree with your wife, but this is still a gem in your crown of plenty. Yep, I like Dan's comparison to Neil Diamond, and also Janne's mention of Cash and Bono. Yet I much prefer hearing you sing it. I like it the way it is without a chorus or bridge. You still make it dynamic and interesting. It has that sound that stays with you long after the music stops.

I liked this song from the first beat, so the instrumentation and the intro really show strong life. Your vocal is very strong keeping the song high on the sky near the moon and never falling. Kind of Johnny Cash meets U2 mood. The chord progression is very nice and keeps the interest without a chorus. The fretless bass works very well and so does the held guitar, I don't like some notes the cello is playing, but otherwise it works as well highlighting the sadness and the rain in the lyrics.
Janne Janne, Thanks much for your commentary. I'll have a closer listen to the cello. Great job building the instrumentation and tension in the song! Thank you, Dewey!

Scott,
Your wife surely likes this one now! This sounds really good Scott! I wouldn't worry much about it not having a "chorus", plenty of great songs didn't have one either...Hey Jude, Thunder Road, Bohemian Rhapsody etc. I thought it was great!
Thanks, Torrey

Excellent song. Shades of Johnny Cash. The repetition of the two note motif makes one remember and listen to what is being sung. And the lyrics are top notch. I particularly like the alternation of "this time" (or "that time") with "not this time" in between verses, and the implication of this alternation missing altogether in the final verse.
In short: I loved it. Well done.

hi Ezekiel's Storm
Nice atmosphere. Your voice lends itself well to your lyrics. The discreet but very present cello reinforces the atmosphere. A refrain would have been superfluous in this composition. Well done

alias JaniJackFlash Derochette, Thank you. I couldn't think of any place where a chorus (or bridge) would fit, so I left it as is.

Hi Scott.
This is a great listen.
Everything about this worked for me. Writing, arrangement, production, all shone as bright as the sun and your vocals were outstanding. Your low notes are extraordinary!
I enjoyed every step of the journey you took me on.
I've never written a song in AAA format because I wasn't sure how best to make it work. You've given me some ideas now, and I really appreciate that.
All the best,
Noel
