I recorded this song before back in 2001, but I had done all the instruments myself, So I wanted to see how it would sound using BIAB and RB. The song has a kind of strange beginning. I know all of us at one time or another have had lines from a song kind of hang in our mind, sometimes for days. This was one of those times. It was driving me nuts, and I could not remember when or where I had heard it. The line was just these words. "I hear the sound of distant drums." I could not place where it came from or what brought it to mind. I finally called a friend from a radio station where I had had A radio show for a time. I sang the line to him and he knew of the song. I asked him to play it on his show so I could hear the entire thing. He did, but to be honest, I really didn't like the song all that much, although I was a fan of Jim Reeves, and still am. Most of the time after you have in your mind the full melody and lyrics to a song, the obsession with the one line or verse goes away. This time it didn't. I fought back by writing my own adaptation of that one line. This song was born from that little adventure. The words and melody are different, except for that one line. I used it in a different context and location in the song but I retained it as sort of a bow to Jim's version. I wouldn't want to take anything away from his legacy. To that end I would never release this commercially without permission, although I don't know if you can copyright a single line. I thought I would share it here, to see what you would think. Hope you like it.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the link.
We always enjoy the well-orchestrated simplicity of your backing tracks. You get so much from so few tracks - well done!
Normally, you cannot copyright a short excerpt (a line or so) from a song, as long as it it used in a different context and with a dissimilar melody. There are exceptions, though. Titles cannot be copyrighted. Never hurts to check it out first.
Enjoyed your song. It was a real nice listen
Di and I are both 70 years old - no strangers to forgetting to do one thing or another! Wishing you well,
Alan & Di

Yes, I could hear Jim Reeves doing this song. It has a perfect tempo, and the bass line works so well throughout the performance. The breaks give interest. Overall, a great effort.

Man that sounds really good. A fine vocal against a sparse soft band. Very well written and produced. I really enjoyed my listen. Tom

Couldn't agree more Gary! The limited instrumentation works well and is all that is needed as your voice carries the track so well. Thanks, Torrey
