Hi All, Here's a simple folky slow-jam type of thing... This is called Blue Tonight. Guess I’m thinking, guess I’m done Guess I’m going blind looking at the sun Guess your busy, guess you were right Guess your getting on fine with your life I don’t know but sometimes I see the light Guess I’m tinted Shades of blue tonight You kept my records, you kept my words You kept me singing like a blue Bluebird You got the best of me, you got it wrong You got me trapped inside an old Dylan song I don’t know but sometimes I see the light Guess I’m tinted Shades of blue tonight Guess I’m crazy, broke up inside Guess I’m trying to find a place to hide Guess your running, guess you knew Guess it’s all over now my baby blue I don’t know but sometimes I see the light Guess I’m tinted Shades of blue tonight I don’t know but sometimes I see the light Guess I’m tinted Shades of blue tonight BIAB Tracks: 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held, Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 Chorus Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 Snare on 4 As always - thanks for listening!

That's great , Bob. As I was listening I thought, "Man, I really like that voice. It reminds me of a better-singing Dylan." Right then is when you sang, "You got me trapped inside an old Dylan song." Really good song, well written, and produced.

Hi Bob,
What a lovely, but sad song you made. And what a nice melody.
I was thinking of the same sentence Marty quoted about what you sang about Dylan.
Your vocals are made for this songs.
You can feel what you sing...
But to be honest, i have that with -I think- all your songs.
And I like that!
Have a nice day,
Hans

WOW Bob this is top shelf all the way.
Your vocal was perfect for this song and our lyrics were fantastic, very poetic.
The backing tracks and mix were also spot on.
Two thumbs up.

Great song oozing sadness in the touching lyrics, in the simply beautiful chord progression and in the emotional vocals mixed excellently. The instrument selection is perfect, everything is there to deliver the strong blue mood.

'Guess it’s all over now my baby blue'. Nice tip of the hat to the guy inside whose song she earlier had you trapped, Bob (a place I've found myself often enough  ). Another fine song in your signature style. Such a great sound. Regards, Leon

"You got the best of me, you got it wrong You got me trapped inside an old Dylan song" Love that! And then: "Guess your running, guess you knew Guess it’s all over now my baby blue" Excellent writing, Bob! And as always I really like your vocal. I've been a Dylan fan forever BTW, that music never gets old for me

Bob,
A very cool write with great lines and an upfront vocal that communicates the sadness so well.
You are distilling the Robert Dean style to a purity here; there`s a trancelike quality I enjoy in recognizing the familiar cues- crystal clear acoustic guitar, great drums and that gravelly voice!
Loved this.
Robert

Well we see that our reaction to the lyric has already been well covered.
At the risk of redundancy the Dylan references are very cool. As is your vocal.
Your mixes are always high bar and this one just sparkles and sets up a great soundstage.
That acoustic guitar sounds great! The upright and held piano are perfecto.
Outstanding...already listened three times!
