The eagles playing on the radio sends a shiver down my spine.
Makes me wonder why I let you go guess I was sick and tired of your lying
Chorus
I'm not ready to live without you I'm sorry that your gone.

Nice moody piece, the guitar solos sounded very nice, and the vocals had some good effects.

An excellent write.

Peter
Wow - I really enjoyed this one. The vocals fit perfectly with the instrumentation, and it sets a really fantastic mood. I thought the slow groove on it worked really well.

Thanks for sharing smile
Rob,

A cool, moody piece.

The vocal effects work well. The BAND is really nice. I wondered what the soloist track was? - it's cool!

Good vocal. Good mix (though the drums seem to lean left a bit).

Really enjoyed that.

Rob,
this is one of your better & ,ore adventurous vocals.
The narrative is wells served by the arrangement - sparse and spooky.
What are the otehr elements - synth/strings & solo?
fabulous stuff.
Bob,

Evocative lyrics.

I like the drum intro. It's sparseness sets the haunting mood.

Great instrumentation choice. Fits the song like a glove.
Hi, Bob !:))


This tune of yours fit the
style just like hand in glove
and your performance is very
convincing ! I like it !

Cheers

Hi Rob ...

Time is my biggest enemy at this time, so my comments have been brief by necessity. Hope you don't mind.

Love the ethereal feel of this. And that intro was splendid. Totally enjoyed my listen ... a real treat.

In the few moments I have several times a week, I've been playing around with this same style, but am taking it in a much different direction. It will be an instrumental rather than a vocal. Really cool ... one of my favorites from you! Best to you ...

Alan
Another nice one Rob...
Dark & somber
With a good mix & vocal delivery.
It sounds very pleasant to my ears!

BTW...
Its refreshing to hear that somewhere in this world

Very nice moody dark ballad. I enjoyed the minor chording. You have selected really fantastic style, baritone guitar and bass are really mournful, definitely murky smile The style fits excellently with your voice which has nice extra roughness at this time (and has interesting effects).

Janne
Thank you Peter for the encouragement.

Wow, that is a strong production!

The ethereal mood is instantly captivating and
it perfectly fits the great vocal and lyric.

Almost spooky...yet not. Fascinating.

Nice use of the solo guitar also.

Excellent!

Rob,
I like this a LOT! Very unusual. Solo guitar is a bit hot at peaks, otherwise, this is one of the best tunes of yours that I have heard.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
Misha said it first, but I'll say it as well: I like this a lot!

Nice singing, atmospheric mix, killer solos. The lyric fits the arrangement hand in glove.
Hello Deryk.
Thank you for your comment. Rob4580

Hi Rob,

All the instruments in this song are well chosen. It was a pleasure to listen to it, the nice solo, the drums, the guitar.
And then your singing and the lyrics... Now that's some sad story that you sing here in a fantastic way!
But I needed to listen to 'Good company' after this one, to cheer me up again (that's a joke, Rob).

Hans
hello Floyd.
Tnak you for listening.
Below is the soloist track.

Definitely a departure......but a really good one!! The band has a great feel....I can see how it inspired this! Cool song! Nice vocal, nice mix, everything done right!! Take care. Greg
Rob,
Moody and hypnotic! With this song I think you`ve gone into new ( more intense )vocal territory- and come out with one of your best.
The style is cool, of course, but you`ve made it your own.
Very very good work.

Robert

Glad I stopped in for a listen.
Love the vibrato in your voice, conjurers up a real broken heart.
Well dome.
I'm late to the party but glad that I came and gave a listen! This is your best to date IMHO. Your vocal is outstanding! I can hear the pain in your voice and the effects are super! That lead guitar fit perfectly. Loved the bass! A perfect mix.

If I heard this in a record store (CD store?) I would have bought it right then and there.
A different sound for you Rob but I like what you did with it! It has a haunting sad feel to it but makes an impact! Thanks, Torrey
Rob,

Magnetic tune—got a bit of a Cash feel to the vocals, and against the mix, it’s like something he would have done in his older days (like “Hurt”). Stellar production work—nice melodic changes—sweet vocal. Love that lead guitar—really sits well in the tune. Very good!

All my best to you,

Deej
Hello Jim.

Rob,
"Moody, "sparse and spooky", as others have written, describe this track perfectly.
The band sounds great and the vocals are spot on.

Rob,

This is really fine listening. I love the ambience that you've created using BIAB, your singing and your production. You had my attention from beginning to end.

All the best,
Noel
Great listen Rob. Vocals and tracks very good. I'm glad you posted the BIB tracks used, sometimes we forget to do that. Aside from being one of the rules we all can benefit from knowing what RT's and RD's were used.
Thanks again.

Mike B.

Many thanks J&B.
Hope you guys are doing well.
