I wrote this song for my daughters..... both of which are moving into new area's in their lives. One is in college and one is getting married in less than 2 weeks. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12350209It's a father's advice to them both. I was going to unveil this at the wedding..... but my daughter heard it and said to me..... This is beautiful but please don't play this at the wedding. I will be a basket case if you do, with all the emotion already on that day.... So, have a listen and enjoy this song. Details: 5 vocal tracks 5 live acoustic tracks 1 mandolin track live Bass, drums, steel, fiddle, piano, B3 are BB/RT

Hi Herb,
This is a magnificent song.
I too have girls that moved on and I fully understand your lyrics.
Just brilliant.
Regards
George

Thanks George.
The other side of the story here is that I had a very hard time writing this. I had to stop and leave the room many times .... I kept choking up as I was writing.
Raising girls is a very special thing.

Herb this is so pretty. I especially liked the chorus and the line "God's still big when you feel small".
Wonderful message from dad to daughters.

Herb,
you have exactly the right voice and talent to pull that song off! Many other people (including me) could play all the same chords , use all the same real tracks etc, but it just wouldn't be as good.
The song is a wonderful fatherly sentiment, but based on the things you say in it, I have a feeling that you have already spent the last 20 or so years writing the same song in their hearts by your example.
Good job, Dad. Thet are as blessed by you as you are by them.

Thank you all....
the line God's still big when you feel small was not the first line in that position in the chorus, but the other one was so cliche it had to go.... and this was the replacement.
Glad you liked it.

Hi Herb,
Quite honestly, this is outstanding in every regard. The writing is excellent, the arrangement is top shelf, your performance defines the word "professional", and the production is brilliant. Very impressive!
All the best,
Noel

Glad you liked it. Really nice tune and production. I also noticed the cool line referenced above. Letting something go because of a cliche nature or because of rhyme issues (and other reasons) is something I'm learning and something that Floyd has been patient enough to help me with. I can spend the time it probably takes some folks to write entire song trying to make something work that oughta be tossed. Pardon the ramble, I really enjoyed the listen! I suspect that your daughter's reaction gave you all the feedback you needed about this song.

Thanks Janice & Bud....
One of the hardest things is to let go of a line that you think is really good, but just doesn't work to find a line that does work.
Writing is easy (relatively speaking).. it's the rewriting to make it better that is the hard part. The willingness to scrap entire lines and verses and even choruses searching for the line, or word or entire section of a song that makes it work like it was intended.
Feel free to ramble.

Herb,
Your vocals are always a good listen. The acoustic lead is a nice addition and the mirrored mandolin lead as well. You tucked that steel in there nicely, too. - floyd

Hey Herb! Well done and genuine. You have a real organicness about your voice. Willie-ish... which is cool. Must be hard watching your angels fly. I couldn't think of myself! Cheers!
