Very, very good. True to the songs that inspired it. Certainly cast a spell about me as I listened. Helicon harmonies were cool. Great work, RKC, another feather in your cap! Good to hear you heard my influences.Thanks for listening and commenting. Great song. Love the poetry in the lyrics. Thank you Chris! Well done. Story songs are hard but you did it here. I really love that fiddle player. It really adds a great touch to the song. Cool lyrics. Haunting lyrics. Great arrangement. Great use of BIAB. "Lie, lie, lie, to a pair of blue eyes." I like that a lot. Establishing a strong form made the write easier; it could have gone on a lot longer like those trad. English songs which were my inspiration. I`m glad you liked the mountain fiddle. Robert,
Great song! This song is exactly the sound of your favorite genre. It is full of originality. I can see the ingenious chord progression as usual. Especially the usage of Db is wonderful. Your vocal fits this perfectly. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks for those kind comments Shigeki! Irrespective of the intervening issues with recording that is a fine RT/RD band and vocal performance.
The toms were a very nice addition to the RD.
As Janice said, "he achieved that Gothic feel that he mentioned."
Yes he did and he melded it with a romantic overlay.
As is characteristic with your writes you painted a very vivid landscape with the lyric.
Well done!
J&B
J&B, I think its cool many of the Americana RT`s ( like those toms) work well for this kind of song. The lyrics were written after reading some E.A.Poe stories-now there`s a gothic master. Thank you for your listens and support Robert

Very medieval/Renaissance-sounding. Your usual enigmatic, everything and nothing clearly stated in the lyrics at the same time. Beautifully sung.
One of your most memorable songs, for me. But that's hard to say, because your quality is always high, so there's not much in between your songs :-) . Still, loved this one a lot - I'm not technically good enough to pinpoint 100% accurately why, but I loved it anyway. Congrats!

That chorus really grips you. Nice sounding instrumentation and harmonies there.

Robert,
You are hitting on all cylinders here. Playing to all of your strengths and the end result is superb.
A perfect melding of lyric and melody and vocal and BAND. A gorgeous production. A perfect combination of instruments. Can't imagine this being done any better.
Excellent mix. A delightful listen. One of your very best.

Excellent tune Robert. Loved the vocal and lyric. The harmonies were a very nice add. Loving the scratch of the fiddle. Never know where that is going to popup again. Well done

Robert, this is a great example of how to combine real tracks to really fit the feel of the song. An interesting lyric and very well sung. You surely have captured the essence of genre. A unique chord structure that works with the melody makes this an excellent listen. Tom Tom, A British folk song done with American folk and rock instruments- glad you liked it! Robert
One of your nicest melodies and vocal,and a lovely lilting tune.
Perfectly captures the feel you mentioned.
Excellent all round.
Peter Thanks for those positive comments Peter... now if only I could remember what led to that melody! Robert,
Great title . . . how could I not listen to a song called “Three Pale Brothers”—particularly with that album cover. And that chorus is an ear worm. Really cool write (structured, poetic, haunting), outstanding vocals and production. I think easily my favorite from you. Outstanding!!!
My very humble regards,
Deej Deej, The picture is from a Harry Potter story, the title and song idea from my own strange imagination ( though I am one of three brothers!). I appreciate your listen and kind comments. I'm quite fan of the moderately electric British folk sound...I recently bought an album by Steeleye Span. SUPERB stuff and based upon the Terry Pratchet book too. You did a fine job Robert...string vocal performance and good arrangement...with an enigmatic horror story too. Ray, I`ll catch up with Steeleye Span again- they keep going where others faded long ago! Its encouraging to get the approval of someone who knows the genre- thank you. Awesome!
What a great sound and mix! Thank you David! Robert

Hi Robert I'm a big fan of the genre (Fairport and all their off-shoots in particular) and you've done a fine job of getting that blend of traditional and modern. Very nice work. Regards, Leon

Still, loved this one a lot - I'm not technically good enough to pinpoint 100% accurately why, but I loved it anyway. Congrats! With the song`s length reduced a few verses ( how did the brothers end up in a crypt?) for the sake of not overdoing things, I had to leave some questions ... those trad. English songs often go on forever! I`m glad you enjoyed this- thanks for commenting. Robert,

fj Floyd, I really appreciate that; particularly on the band chosen and production quality. Onward and upward! Robert

I'm not familiar with the genre, but I like the dark imagery, also the use of colors to describe each person, it would be interesting to analyze the story deeper I enjoy the smooth folky band with the addition of the more modern Darin guitars. Very good balanced mix. Great intro and ending, the chorus is simple but good and catchy to sing along and remember. Janne

Excellent tune Robert. Loved the vocal and lyric. The harmonies were a very nice add. Loving the scratch of the fiddle. Never know where that is going to popup again. Well done Scott, I just realised I`ve used that fiddle on 3 songs in a month... our next offering being the benchmark,of course! Thanks for your listen. That chorus really grips you. Nice sounding instrumentation and harmonies there.

Janne Janne, Thank you; the use of a simple form ( different colours and character traits) to describe the brothers made it easier to follow the story- at least that was my intention! I`m glad you found something of interest in this. Robert
