Hi All,

Here's an old song that sat around for years without being recorded - something short, simple & folky.

This is called Ghost Of Love.

I parked my Jeep by the river to think
Skipped a stone and watched it sink
Now I’m on the bank as a clipper blows
That’s how the ghost of love rolls

I head on home as the night comes down
Thinking about all the roads to town
I see you through the darkness that grows
That’s how the ghost of love rolls

The sheets hold the imprint of her body after dawn
And the bed remains unmade long after she’s gone

We faced the day with a sense of time
Years wash over all of our crimes
Unsteady love is what we chose
That’s how the ghost of love rolls
Yeah that’s how the ghost of love rolls
Baby that’s how the ghost of love rolls
Baby that’s how the ghost of love rolls

Bob, this is fantastic.
I really liked your vocal and your lyrics.
You picked the perfect backing band for this song.
I also liked the song's dynamics.
Great mix.


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.

"That's how the ghost of love rolls..." Ha! Great lyric, very cool song! Like the simple arrangement and the synth accents. Everything sounds exactly right. Fantastic job.

Bob, you always seem to pick the right band for the song. The synth works well. Some fine lyrics and a good delivery make this worth rescuing from the circular file. Another great job, Tom

Man, you write so many good ones that they overflow into some file where you bring them out, brush them up, and make them sound so good. A true song-writing machine.

Great opening: "I parked my Jeep by the river to think
Skipped a stone and watched it sink" Then it continues with that great imagery you always fit into your lyrics. Bob Dean's simple is simply outstanding.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Bob,

The pain of heartbreak is oozing.
Your vocals match these lyrics well and captivate my heart.
It is very impressive that it begins with only percussion and bass accompaniment.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

It's quite dark at first but becomes clearer later. It's good and you have a voice for these atmospheres.
Bravo

Ah, lovely. I really like the way the arrangement morphs after the 1st verse and continues to bring sweet surprises like the flute solo.

Yeah ... what Marty said! He summed it up perfectly. You're a super songwriter!

Take care,

Songwriting Poet.
Poetic Songwriter.
Not many people can pull off either of those.
You do both. In Spades.

Hi Bob,

Like Floyd, you are indeed a wonderful poetic songwriter!
I'm amazed this song lied on the shelf so long as you said.
But like older wine, it's getting even better!

I liked how you started the song, with the drums, the bass and your vocals.
And then the guitar came in. Great!
