Thanks, Dave. Spacey, right? Bridges to me are a whole different song that is connected in some ways.

Just saw your post of this song and then saw I already heard it 9 months ago!?!
So listened again, because it is a very nice song, the melody, the vocals, the lyrics... Just great!
Enjoyed it again,

Hans
Yeah, sorry, Hans. That's how far behind I am. Today I'll be posting my 30th new one for this year, and I have 20 others ready to go. Thanks, buddy.

Thanks for your kinds words, Tom. Much appreciated.

The vocals are emotional and that bridge part "she claimed it just couldn't be" is pure gold. And the story structure is one of my favorites, over the moon start and then the bittersweet continuation, "I need to find a friend who will stay until the end,and all it takes is just one night. One night." - what a great way to end with the confident flicker of the flame of hope. You deserve the Songwriter of the Year award, I'm sure Santa knows that too smile

Janne
Thanks, Janne. I only reach the vapors from the coattails of Strauss when I aim for Vivaldi. You know, Janne, I'd trade every song I ever wrote to be with ya on those walks. Claim/gold... I like that. Thanks for being with me on this walk, buddy.

Your vocals and bass were extra warm on this and, like others, we really enjoyed the bridge.

The RT guitar solo was a good one.

A very creative twist on the love lost theme.

Well done and Happy Holidays!

J&B
Thanks, Janice & Bud. Extra warm happy holidays to you both. Yeah, love-lost was just the first awkward step in finding it.


Enjoy whatever happens!
