Oh my word. Oh wow. Mr. Versatile (Deej) strikes again. I never expected to hear this particular style from you, Deej. And this is a masterpiece, nothing short of it. I can see David C's magical touch in making this masterpiece shine in every note - well done, David C smile . But, in the writing, the Deej stamp is everywhere - and not least in those tearjerker lyrics. Deej is an incredible poet, as well as a top-notch singer and songwriter - how you manage to come up with those genius turn of phrases is beyond me, though I'm still under the illusion that I'm not a bad poet, myself.

This should be on the radio (or on whatever devices people nowdays listen to music on). The other thing (another Deej hallmark): the lyrics are, once more, direct and to the point. I wish I could learn how to express my own lyrics like that ... I usually meander all over the shop, before I get to the point. Long story short: brilliant song - well done, Deej, yet another classic. And yes, superb work, David C ... you've helped me with some of my songs, before, so I know first-hand how stellar your own work is, and how understated you are about it smile .

BRAVI, gentlemen (and Natalie! smile ) !!!

EDIT: listening again ... this could have been written by Willie Nelson, Nat King Cole, or someone like that. Reminds me of a combination of "Crazy" and "Unforgettable", or somesuch songs. It's (at least) THAT good, for me. And yes, "in the spirit of American classics", indeed. In a different world, who knows how famous this song would have gotten. And yes, I can hear any of the top notch female crooners singing this (Natalie Cole, etc. etc. etc.). Again, bravi for bringing this to light smile (and you can quote me on all of this!!! smile )
