I have been away for a month and also had some family issues that have kept me away from music for a while so no new song yet. Appologies for my absence.
So just to start getting back into the swing, I don't think I posted this one from 3 years ago. The idea came from something my father used to say to me.

Your dad is a wise man, Vic. Hope all is good for you now. Missed you. Two words have such an impact. Prefect harmony choices. Man, that chorus is inspiring. The lyrics are really good; the message is string and clear. I like the banjo choice. The fiddle too.
Hello Vic
Very nice song
Sounds really great
The background track and the fiddle fill ins are excellent
Just like your singing
Great work Vic
Many greetings
Andi ;-)
Vic,
Nice song with folk twist. Strings are perfect on it. Very good vocals and they situated well within a mix. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Vic ...
Good to have you back posting again. Really good song - has a modern Americana-Folk sound to my ears. That fiddle really earned its place - great choice and execution. Inspiring lyric and well presented. Nice job, Vic.
Alan
Hello Vic,
You came back with a hell of a song, wow!!!
Along with your beautiful dark voice this is surely a strong, but sensitive song, embedded in a very nice rhythm!
And what good lyrics too.
I listened severall times, in fact I am still listening to this song. Can't get enough of it...
Hans
Thanks Marty, for your support.
Vic
Cheers Andi.
Made my day.
Vic
Wow, what a powerful two-note hook! Grabbed me from the beginning and demanded to be played again. And again. Great work on this, a real winner for sure.
Vic,
It's good to go back and resurrect great tunes like this one! I love every part of it...vocals, instrumentation, mix, all of it! Hopefully you'll find some time to develop new material!
Thanks, Torrey
Nice arrangement Vic, good phrasing in the vocal too.
There's a little sibilant stuff that pokes out with a vocal so forward in the mix.
The fiddle is ace.
Strong intro, and solid chorus. Nice vocal as well.
The fiddle sounds great here as well.
Hi Misha.
I like the "folk twist" and have always liked a lot of folk music.
Thanks for the comments.
Vic
Thanks Al.
Glad to be halfway back. I'm still chasing my mojo.
Americana/folk is what I try to aim for so I'm glad you think it worked.
Vic
Hans.

Hi Greg.
Thanks for listening. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Vic
Hey we liked that when you first posted it and still do!
Smooth!
This is a very nice Americana song. Your vocals are comforting in the way of J.J. Cale, the lyric is nice and the band is in the groove. We love the fiddle.
We enjoyed it and feel sure the muse will return to you!
J&B
Outstanding instrumentation
WOW what a fantastic mix!
Your vocal is very strong
Great lyrics
Your dad was a very wise man, as is his son!
Thanks J&B.
Your comments are welcome as always.

This sounds mighty good Vic.
The banjo is a good add the acoustic sound.
Vocal fits nicely!
Thanks Ezekiel's Storm.
Glad you liked it.
Vic
Vic...this is really a great song...love the chorus...it has a real Americana feel to it....the fiddle is great and the banjo gives it a common man feel...your vocals are top-notch!
Thank you, Firesong.
I do like Americana and mixing the genres.
Vic
Great job on this Vic! I loved your choice of instruments. I sure liked the way you kept the fiddle and banjo going through that break, and you sure did a good job with the vocal too. I thought the mix came out very well and resulted in a very good song.
Brad
Thank you Brad for those very nice comments.
