Hello forum friends. Have not been around too much lately but I love to drop in and hear what's happening.......lots of great stuff!! This is a song about deep longing for someone that is no longer there. Hope you don't find it too depressing in these difficult times. Would love to know what you think. I don't always get around to responding to comments but I always read them, and always appreciate them! Take care all. Greg I got a new computer and inadvertently created a new Soundcloud account. I will have to go to their support and try to get this song put on that account. It is hard enough to accumulate some listeners....don't want to lose them that easily! https://soundcloud.com/user-93866372/themoonjustseemstoknowThe Moon Just Seems to Know At night I hear the cold wind blow And somewhere deep inside my heart I can feel the echo In the midnight glow I hear those wind chimes ring The soft and lonely sound Of the hollow song they sing And now that you have gone I'm drowning in lonliness Aching for your sweet caress The hunger lingers on I try to hide my pain And no let the heartache show But I'm haunted by you once again The wind just seems to know The wind just seems to know I see the moon So distant and so cold Who knows just how he sees this world The secrets that he holds His somber glow Lord, it feels so strange For, once he seemed a guardian Now his mood has changed And now that you have gone I'm drowning in lonliness Aching for your sweet caress The hunger lingers on I try to hide my pain And no let the heartache show But I'm haunted by you once again The moon just seems to know The moon just seems to know

This is just so nice, Greg! Sad, yet tender. I enjoyed the minimal number of backing tracks. Exactly enough with no overkill. A wonderful lyric wrapped in a heartfelt, emotion arrangement. I also like that you end the choruses, and the song, by going to the minor 6 chord rather than resolving to the tonic. It adds an extra touch of sadness that the song endears. Loved it!
Best to you and yours. Be safe ...
Alan

Man, I'm not going to even try and analyse this, it would cheapen it somehow.
Simply sublime!

Really well produced Greg, and a little different form your usual material, but nonetheless absolutely enjoyable.
Frankly, you've demonstrated another dimension to your talents. Big vocal range, provided with lots of precision.
This song encompasses remarkable lyrics, encapsulated in a really well delivered performance.

BE.A.U.TI.FUL!!!
This is as good as it gets.
Adele and Celine Dion should be fighting over who gets to record this. IF Barbara Streisand would let them have a chance at it first...
Yesterday, we were listening to some Judy Collins... "Send In The Clowns" and "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress". This stands up to either of those. You mentioned Dianne Warren in your review of my current post. She can't even touch this. Not even close.
Songwriting at its very best.
Your vocal and your production of it are every bit a match for the song quality. GORGEOUS. WOW.
YOU should be a HUGE star. This should be a HUGE hit. Oscar should be calling..

Greg, A lovely song that sounds like a great movie ballad. The simple arrangement works well and your vocals ( performance and processing) are up there with your best. Very well done!

Floyd mentioned Babs, Adele, and Celine... I was thinking the same thing as I was listening.
Well written and recorded.
Bravo!

Great song and vocals as usual! Love the line "The moon just seems to know." I heard more than a nod to Autumn Leaves, which is a good thing in my book. As many have said, you deserve greater recognition.

Greg,
First off, a really strong write, but, second, one of your strongest vocals—really outstanding. A soft, sad and hauntingly beautiful song. I think musician17 has this just right—sounds like a Sting song. He would do it very well, I’m sure . . . but you just slay it. In every way, outstanding!
My humble regards,
Deej

An enchanting vocal and melody with the perfect minimalist backing...very nice piano.
Janice mentioned she was reminded of 1960's movie ballads.
Sad indeed but a lovely production.
