Hypnotic. A couple of notes, a couple of chords, et voila. Wish I had your talent to "get straight to the point", when I myself write a song. Incredibly beautiful. The lyrics are mesmerizing, too, evoking (as I perceive it) memories. It's a pleasure to hear your works.

At first I thought your song was a bit boring because there's not much variety, but on second listen it grew on me, it's kinda hypnotic and probably the first song since Strawberry where I like a Mellotron.
Very well done!

Bob, a perfect example of less is more!
Fantastic lyrics and vocal.
The mellotron sounds great - brilliant!
Super mix.
I think this is your best to date.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hi, Bob. Love the build of the arrangement. As B.D. says, the repetition is almost hypnotic. Cool!

Bob, beautiful song! The arrangement has a sweet lullaby quality that is very easy on the ears. Your lyrics are always interesting and subtly literate, and these are no exception. The whole package has a Lou Reed, post-beat NYC feel to me. Absolutely love it.

There is a beautiful ensemble between the vocals, the guitar and the flute. It's a nice mélopée (in French).

Nicely done, Bob, I love the way the song builds as it progresses.
Reminds me of something Lou Reed might have done.
Enjoyed!

Bob, I always get the feeling of being in Manhattan in your songs. This time the upper west side. Back in the seventies I wandered those streets. My cousin lived at 102nd and Amsterdam while my sister lived nearby. Of course it was affordable then. The simple arrangement works well and the mellotron was quite the surprising element. After the first few seconds I found it worked perfectly. Poetry set in simplicity. Another good one, Tom

That is So Nice.
Intimate Vocal.
A Just-Right Production.

I think Schott is what you wore"
Poetic. And, yet still a Song. Not an easy thing to pull of.
Talent.

Bob,
Your music is always such a pleasure to listen to.
I like your voice in this lower register - you don't do that often. For me, it's a real treat when you do. If there's poetic majesty on this forum, it would be - hands down. Contrary to the thinking of so many people, poetic writing is not an easy transition to music. But you have the touch.
As typical, the lyric is "honest" and speaks to many.
Thanks for a soothing listen!

As a New Yorker ... I like imagery in the lyrics, I like the way it builds by adding instruments, without overpowering the lyric or vocals.
