Hi All,

Here’s a song that has gone through several writing & arrangement iterations over the years.

I finally got around to properly recording it - this is called MOONSHOT.

Miles between us
On the coast or outer space
Flying tonight
Every route feels untrue
Kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you

Lines round my eyes
The years above the radar
Flying away
Will somehow have to do
Kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you

I kinda wish this tired old moonshot was true
I kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you

Catch an updraft
Watch the clouds fade away
Flying this way
Navigate without a crew
Kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you

I kinda wish this tired old moonshot was true
I kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the listen - I enjoyed your song.

The vocal style is reminiscent of Bob Dylan.

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hello Bob,

Nice surprise this cool Moonshot! A tight song, nice melody and strong guitars involved.
A very pleasant listen!

Have a nice weekend,

Bob,

I always enjoy hearing your songs. Always well-written, always sung with conviction and passion, always nicely produced.

You make BIAB sound like YOUR band. Here again. Good mix.

Good one!

(I also always like your album covers!)

Bob,
BIG sounding tune. Good choice of instruments. Acoustic/ electric guitar choice was a nice marriage. Good lyrics and performance.
Mix is clear, listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Bob,

You are a master of doing these type of tunes! Nobody around here does these like you! Your lyrics are awesome and the construction of the backtrack is excellent! Thanks, Torrey

Man, I just love your voice! Great tone and always full of passion.

Great song, Bob, love the way it builds. Production is top notch, as good as it gets.

Listened a couple of times, enjoyed!

Oh, yeah, Bob. Every song you do is soo good in every way. Your vocal always tops the bill and the lyrics that you write for it gives it such a relaxed and polished feel. Great band and well produced and mixed.

Hans,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Rob,

That's very kind - thank you.

Bob

Nice one - as usual.

Hi Bob,

Once again you took me on a pleasant and magical musical ride. I love how your lyrics create images in my mind as the journey progress.

Another excellent edition to your ever-growing songbook!

All the best,
Noel

om,

Thanks and much appreciated.

Bob

Bob

Really nice. You chose an excellent backing band to show off your great vocal and words.

Pro sounding, and beautifully done.

Peter

Nice one, Bob. Like those power chords. Your usual excellent vocal and lyrics (although I must admit to puzzling a little over the line 'wish this tired old moonshot was you').
Regards,
Leon

Floyd,

Thanks very much.

Bob

Misha,

Thank you.

Bob

Loved this tune Bob. I must comment on the mix. Very cool how the acoustic was a little drier that the vocal. Bot did this sound good on the monitors. Super vocal and backtrack. Well done

Very fine; thank you.

Very poetic, I like the deep melancholy in the theme of flying even to the outer space.
The acoustic and electric guitar play amazingly well together. Excellent emotional vocals.

Janne

Torrey,

I appreciate that - thanks.

Bob

Dave,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Marty,

Thanks - much appreciated.

Bob

Bob,

Another signature tune from you—all the elements that make a Robert Dean song a Robert Dean song: crystal and magnetic production work—resonating guitars and drums—and that killer vocal that sits just so perfectly in the mix. Just a wonderful tune; wonderful work.

Best regards to you,

Deej

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!

Nice one.

moto

Ray,

Thank you.

Bob

Great set of lyrics. I particularly like these lines:
Lines round my eyes
The years above the radar
Flying away
Will somehow have to do

Excellent vocal delivery that reveals the emotion in the lyrics.

Noel,

Much appreciated - thank you.

Bob

Peter,

Much appreciated - thanks.

Bob

"Lines round my eyes
The years above the radar
Flying away
Will somehow have to do
Kinda wish this tired old moonshot was you"

Above the radar ... nice. As is the entire write.

As always you recruited an ace band and mixed them well.

Strong passionate vocals.

Janice said she was reading a poem the other day by Jane Mead and thought immediately of how much it reminded her of your lyrics.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

Leon,

Thank you - I appreciate that.

The use of "moonshot" is just a metaphor for something out of reach.

Bob

Scott,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Desertphile,

Thank you.

Bob

Janne,

Much appreciated - thanks.

Bob

Deej,

Thanks - I appreciate that.

Bob

An interesting title and hook, Bob. Somehow your vocal seems a little lonely. Maybe try some harmony vocals around half way in to take it up a notch.

Vic

moto,

Thanks.

Bob

Scott,

Much appreciated - thanks.

Bob

Janice & Bud,

Thanks so much. I appreciate that.

That’s so cool - Jane Mead is one of my favorite poets.

Bob

Vic,

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.

Bob

I almost missed this gem!

Great vocal! Super backing tracks; they sound like a live band!
Your mix was spot on!

Love it!

Mario,

That's very kind - thank you.

Bob
