Nice work, Jim smile I like the calming nature of the tune. Subtly catchy too, and easy to tap your foot to. Never a bad thing to have a positive message in today's music too.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jim,

I love what Loren said about your creation...

The music is calming and reassuring, too.


I really cannot write anything that's better than that. Loren's words very eloquently summarise just how I felt when I listened.

As an aside, the minute this started playing, Bobby Darin's "Simple Song Of Freedom" sprang to mind. That puts you in some VERY good company in my book.

All the best,
Noel

Very nice, Jim!

I'm hearing the Don Williams vibe happening too. Nice writing, nice vocal, and good sounding track too.

Well done, enjoyed the listen!

Thank you for your kind comments & for the Bobby Darin link...
I can see the similarity in the messages & I was reminded of Bobby's wonderful voice... He truly was great!
BTW, I wrote the tune & created the video during FAWM 2017...
