Hello Robert,
Man, I loved the song. Your voice fits it perfectly, well done. Great writing made it easy to slip into the songs feeling. The harmonica in the turn around was very tasteful. I could imagine a quiet coffee house with your soothing vocals entertaining all. Good job!

A BIG +1

I will add outstanding lyrics. They made me think and I like that in a song like this.

Two thumbs up!


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Hi Bob,
This is one of the best folk songs I've heard. I absolutely love it. Great job. I like everything about it. I love the feel with the drums and the way you sing it. If I was still playing live, I would ask you for persmission and a copy of the lyrics/chords to perform it myself. Just a beautifully written song. What else can I say. I'd love to know the story behind the song if you'd care to share that.

Hi Josie,
Wow - thank you so much for listening and for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I've heard some of the things you have posted here as well and think they are great.

I wrote this song several years ago and have just recently set out to record it properly. It was originally intended as a duet. The lyrics are here: http://robertdeanwordsandmusic.com/music-4.html - this is a new website I just put up this weekend. I'll be adding many more songs and content shortly.

Again, many thanks for taking the time to listen.

Very subtle and yet powerful. Bob i really like this, very dylanish. a few very small pitch issues, but hey that is what real live music is about, not perfection, but feeling and passion. Thanks for sharing, regards Rob

Thoroughly enjoyed listening Bob. The harmonica was a nice "lonesome evoking touch.
Tell me, do you intend to complete the "duet" plans. A touch of harmony would be so sweet. You're a great lyricist. I'm glad to see that you're putting up your own website - this one is a good start.

Ian,
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen. Much appreciated. Yes, I am actually discussing a possible duet with someone on this board - more to come on that...

Thanks also for the tip on the website address.
