Hi, Tom.
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get to this one.
What an extraordinary song. Your writing, arranging and performing are top shelf (and then some!).
The chorus is fantastic... memorable, singable and very catchy.
This is music at its best.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your friend.
I hope he's listening to this somewhere out there in the universe.
All the best,
--Noel
Thank you for your compassionate words, Tom
" A shape shifting beagle in the sky."
That is an ace indicator of the humour and message of this excellent tune.
Ray, as I went back and listened, it does sound like beagle. Somewhere my friend is laughing. You have a great ear, Tom
Beautiful, and very, very moving. So well written - and performed, of course - from every single point of view. Sounds like your friend was an amazing person ... really sorry for your loss. A worthy tribute song, for him. One of your best.
Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it,Tom
