Marty and Dave - the pace of this song suits the theme well - drawn out, just like the anguish can be. It also suits the solo guitar work of Dave. Love that Gb7!

Thanks, Andrew. Dirge-like tempos are also fun to play. Like BiaB, Dave has never complained about the strange keys my voice often requires. That's even more valuable than a drummer who knows chords, right?
Great job, Marty and Dave. Marty, you're a prolific guy for sure. Good use of blues RTs. Fine work here, gents.
Thanks, Bob. Isn't it cool how this program elevates creativity?
Really like the style of this track. Gives me some Gary Moore vibes.
Thanks, Alexander. Sometimes it seems Gary Moore gives me Dave Bell vibes.
So much to enjoy.
Blues groove, smokey lead guitar tone, universal story of unrequited love.
Thanks, Herb. I knew you'd dig that guitar.
As I commented on YT, it's another great Marty song and production - it's a superb collaboration, in fact - but lyrically a downer. I just had a look through the list of songs I've written since 1969 and where in my 20s I did write a very few sad songs they're not self-pitying. It's a personal thing, but sad blues songs aside I think the worst self-pitying song ever written was that pop song, possibly from the 80s, where a lady goes to her ex's wedding and screams out "It should have been me!"
It makes me laugh as I write it as in reality it'd make mega-embarrassing scenario!
PS: I'm baffled by the copyright date on the video opening image. We were both born in 1951, so © 1951 implies that your wrote the song shortly after being born and it was about a previous live.
Thanks, Chay. I don't get copyright on my songs anymore --mostly cuz o' apathy. It's just my spoof on the whole thing.
