Hi All,

This is called Albuquerque.

I walked to Albuquerque
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I left my home in Woodstock
In the second part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque
It was midnight in my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I traced my steps this morning
In the third part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I walked to Albuquerque
In the first part of my dream

Bob,

A very dream-like write. Which makes sense - it's a dream song!

The baritone guitar suits the subject matter, too.

This could easily be in the background of any number of current shows on Netflix or Amazon. (OA would be a good one for it...)

Good mix (as always).

fj

Poetic and non-specific, very evocative.

I liked the subtle build as you brought in the instruments.

Nicely done, as usual.

Floyd,

Thank you - I appreciate that!

Bob

I like the dream imagery to the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!

Bob

I recall Neil Young doing a song called Albuquerque. In fact I could hear him covering your version.
Nice relaxed mood and immediately familiar. Good choice of instruments and nicely performed.
Very enjoyable.

Peter

Hello Bob. I really enjoyed this. Great band choice.
You must have vivid dreams Rob

Bob,
I read the lyrics, listened to the tune and had very particular thought in mind to my response, but as soon as I scrolled to the first reply, FJ's post caught my eyes. He wrote exactly what I was feeling This was wayyy strange.

A very calming, dream like song indeed. Nicely put together and performed. Loved the tremolo guitar choice.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

David,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Ember,

Thank you!

Bob

Good write...
Simple lyrics & structure yet painting vivid images...
Nicely done...
And I really liked that tremolo guitar...
Cool!

Love this ballad Bob! The vibrato guitar really gives this one a nice touch! The verse melody really works! Thanks, Torrey

Bob,

Your vocal carries the feeling. A dream that gets to you is powerful song inspiration!
I like the repetition in the lyrics and of course that tremolo guitar.
I also hear a little Neil Young in this... and also the kind of song Emmylou Harris chose for Wrecking Ball.


Robert

Peter,

That's a great compliment - thanks very much.

Bob

I always like it when you use that tremolo guitar, it is a good fit for your sound I think.

Great as always, Bob, I'm a fan!

Hey Bob, I admired the overall vibe on this. Those strings are very relaxing to listen to. Great work!

Another cool track Bob!! Very textural. Rolls along so nicely with that Brent baritone guitar feeding the rhythm as it goes. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Nice work on this Love the imagery in the vocals, your rustic delivery adds a lot of merit as well. I found it fit perfect with the instrumentation, and it was nicely catchy too.

Thanks for sharing!

Rob,

LOL! I guess that's true.

Thanks so much.

Bob

Really cool vocal Bob. Sounds so different than you other tunes. Super lyric and background. Just loved the guitar with the tremolo. Very cool effect..

Hi Bob ...

I'm telling you ... I could listen to your songs all night. Perfect selection of backing tracks. This song has a very subtle power - I know that sounds almost like an oxymoron, but that's how it falls on my ears. It's gentle but exploded with emotion. You just keep churning out one great song after another!

Alan

Misha,

Much appreciated - thank you.

Bob

Man, you are on fire! One after another - great imagery, always well written lyrics. And the backing on this is really nice.

Steve

The dream running line works a treat - holds the narrative together really well.
I LOVE baritone guitar.
Clever stuff.

Jim,

Thank you!

Bob

Torrey,

Much appreciated - thank you.

Bob

love the arrangement , the build of instruments

the impact of the drums

stripped down, even lyrically stripped down dreams

gives it strength

enjoyed the listen as always,

Kenny

It makes no real sense at all. Perfect. Has that "get out of bed and jot down what I just dreamed" feel to it. The baritone guitar provides a nice series of little weird punches.

Robert,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Dave,

I appreciate that - thank you!

Bob

Joe,

Thank you!

Bob

Greg,

Thanks very much.

Bob

We enjoyed the journey into rsdean dream land.

Abstract? Well, yeah, but as always with your lyric one can easily connect the dots and turn your dream into theirs.

Speaking of "as always...."

The band (loving the baritone and the build), the write, the vocal performance and the arrangement are all in the pocket.

I asked Janice if she had anything left to add to this and she said "Well, I wanna go out west!"

Enjoyed it!

J&B

This has a nice easy feel with an interesting build up.

You sing this so well and I can feel the emotions within your voice.

Enjoyed my listen Neil young was quite rightly mentioned on previous post.

Thanks

Deryk,

Much appreciated. Thanks.

Bob

Scott,

Thanks very much.

Bob

Alan,

I appreciate the kind words - thank you.

Bob

Steve,

Thanks so much as always.

Bob

Ray,

Thanks so much - it is appreciated!

Bob

Kenny,

Thanks so much.

Really loving your new one!

Bob

Tangmo,

Thank you.

Bob

beatmaster,

Much appreciated - thank you.

Hi Bob,

I was just looking back over the last couple of hundred songs posted in Users Showcase and I discovered that I had missed this one.

As soon as I saw that, I had to jump in and listen.

It is so easy to hear your songwriter's voice in this presentation. You have a fine style and one that is immediately identifiable. It's always treat listening to your creations. I thoroughly enjoyed listening once again.

All the best,
Noel
