Nice, David. Real nice! I played in 3 different productions of Godspell and the prodigal son part was my favorite. This song would have been absolutely perfect for it. Love this simple production, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the "final version" when you feel like it. If you ever do --you're so prolific and creative, it's hard to imagine you'll find the time.

{Re the squeaks: You're on 'em, so I'm good. I once asked here how others got rid of them, and many said they like them in there to give authenticity. If you didn't mention it, I probably would've ignored them cuz the song is so good.}

As always, you have a poet's knack for creative lyrics. Never any question about what you mean and you say it in ways that touch the listener. The chorus in this one is so good.


Enjoy whatever happens!
