Some of the best poems and lyrics for me had a story behind the story . . . something unresolved that keeps the reader/listener thinking thereafter. This one does that. I’m torn on whether the tone of the lead guitar fits (e.g., starting at around 1:28) . . . scrolling through no one else mentions it, so likely just a me thing. Excellent tune, Vic—impressive collaboration!

My best to you both,

Deej


Hi Deej.
Yes, Mike is imaginative in his writing. He sent me the lyric and said, “Just do your thing on it”.
I did think a lot about the guitar part you mentioned. I tried a mandolin and then a fiddle but it sounded too bluegrassy. I wanted that crossover sound. Hence the guitar.

Thanks as always.
Vic
