The Tales of Topographical Poets continues.
This sounds fabulous & the flutes really take it to Mellotron sounds of 72.
Sounds great - though there's a little more sibilant/plosive stuff on this one.
I look forward to the next road trip.
Cheers

Great song, lyrics and arrangement, Robert, and thanks for sharing!
I think the world-weary quality of your vocals captures the feeling of the song nicely.
I also liked the BIAB electroflutes instrument you used in the background.

Bob, I love how you tell a story as your lines build... "Just give me a weekend every now and then Let me trade the pigeons for the wrens Play me some Levon so that I can breath And meet me on the mountain of my dreams" Ya took my breath away there... David said it well... ....you give a feel of "place" very well, along with a handful of memories and feelings. This line packs an incredible amount of emotion... "It'll be ok cause i'm standing there with you" ...because of its placement. Knocked me over. Love the BAND! My list of Bob Dean Favorites continues to grow. This goes straight to the Top. Wow. fj

Well, you’ve given us another gem from your past. Your songs are always so singable. Janice reads your lyrics like a book of poems and we both thoroughly enjoy the vivid imagery that takes us to these other places and times. This is lovely: “Well I’ve seen the sun rise on the Hudson Bridge And i've seen it set on Overlook Ridge But I always keep my horizon set on you” Great band, vocals and mix. The bass and drums and electro flute sound excellent. Enjoyed it! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
