This is a song I wrote many years ago, and finally put it down.

Mom's Song

Enjoy!

Jim, I really enjoyed that. The arpeggio guitar sounds beautiful.

This is not necessarily a negative observation but, 5+ minutes may be a tad long. It's not written in stone but 3-4 minutes seems to be the norm, especially if you expect to get airplay. Someone may argue that thus and such song is 12 - 13 minutes but that is not the typical or average length of a commercially successful song.

Just sayin'

Jim,

Very nice tribute to your Mom! I do agree with Don about the length of the song, but I doubt your Mom would agree!

Thanks for sharing this.

Steve

I really like your vocals, arrangement and mix.

The song length does not bother me. It tells a story all the way through and thus is not a boring repetitive song. The change in guitars near the ending is a real plus.

Two thumbs up.

I'm with Steve, heck I'd bet Mom would not care if it was 10 minutes long. Nice Job.

Later,

I have to admit my first thought was along the lines of Don's when I saw the song length. The only guitarist/songwriter that kept my attention for that long was Harry Chapin.
However, the song has a sweetness to it. Your vocal blends with the guitar picking very well to where it is a very nice song.

There is also something about the simplicity of a voice and acoustic guitar when singing songs with this theme that makes it very sentimental for the listener.

Very good job!
Cheers!
