Like the percussion choice for this, well performed and written; lots of great imagery, thanks for sharing!

Nice lyrics, as usual, and good arrangement. I also like the congas. Nice touch.

Very nice. I like how "open" the mix sounds. Lots of space to breathe. One question from a fellow songwriter: the chorus music is so similar to the verse. Any thought about changing the chords to build a bit more tension? Lyrics are really fine.

Hi Bob,  I loved every second of this. The music, the lyrics, the singing, the mix. Everything came together to make something that's really special with this song. My favourite lines are "Like an axe coming down to split the days" and "She's on a mission to turn back the clock". They were incredibly visual for me and seemed to sum up just how tough life was. I'm sitting here thinking that it's impossible for me to leave this song without commenting on your lyric structure. It positively gleams with creativity, proficiency and musicianship. The chorus is simple and absolutely perfect for the song. An English teacher friend was recently telling me that when one deals with intense themes, simplicity is always the most powerful approach to use. For me, this song echoed and amplified his words loud and clear. And the verses .... what a great format you've used. Every line has a poetic metre of three feet (at least to my ears). The first four lines are duple time with an xaxa rhyme scheme. Even though the last four lines still scan as three feet, you provided excellent contrast by moving the lyric into triple time and using an aabb rhyme scheme. That kind of slickness is 10th Dan Black-Belt lyric writing in my book. I have say that I was also intrigued how, in the last four lines of each verse, you paralleled the structure with a couplet of similes follow by a couplet of statements. That's pretty impressive attention to detail! My impression is that a great deal of thought has gone into these words and massaging them to become the best they can be. Lastly, what a great hook! I'm heading back to listen again, now. All the best, Noel

Very cool song. The inspiration for the lyrics was very cool. Translating life experiences to music and melody is very special... Sing and playing were excellent

Bob,
I think I say this every single time I post on one of your songs, but it is still true. When I hear your work, I am constantly challenged and inspired to be a better writer. You always find a unique way to express things. I thank you for the inspiration.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
