Where Horses run I started with the music. When it was done, I thought it had to be about something moving, a rhythm. That's where the horses came in and the lyrics were there. I asked Rob to sing the lead, because he's got a more expressive voice than I have. I confined myself to the backing vocals. Rob took care of the final mix. I made the video, Rob chose the filter. As we posted this song on YouTube a few months ago, it is pure coincidence that there are two songs about horses on the forum now (rsdean - Falling horses)  Anne-Marie Style is _PILGRIM.STY (Pilgrim Country Piano Waltz) 1123:Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 140 1892:Piano, SuperMidiTrack, Kontakt patch Amore 825:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Country Waltz Sw 140 1125:Fiddle, Background CountryWaltz Sw 110 1108:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking BluegrassWaltz Ev 140 1702:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryWaltz Sw 140 UserTrack Violin Section, Loop Arabian Ceremony RealDrums [in style:NashClassicWaltzSw^3-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, Brushes

This song is so beautiful that I listened to it over and over. Best thing I've heard from you two. Congratulations on a terrific tune. I wasn't so sure about the violin at 1:48, was that the Arabian loop? It seemed to have an unusual timbre to my ears. A very minor point, it didn't detract from my enjoyment of this wonderful piece.

Rob and Anne-Marie,
This song sounds super! Your vocals are as good as it gets! Love the arrangement with the waltz time signature...it's a perfect choice for this one! The instrumentation, especially the fiddle, are the right choices. Nothing distracts, it all fits! Great work!
Thanks, Torrey

Rob & Anne-Marie,
A lovely song concept with a sweet melody and marvelous vocals ( and harmonies).
I liked everything about the arrangement except the solo violin...perhaps it adds a little gypsy wildness,though, so will have another listen.
Beautiful images on the video.
Robert

Simply wonderful! The music, the video, and of course your great singing.
Great!
My only minor complaint is the violin solo, it doesn't feel like it's part of the band. But that's just a minor nit in a great arrangement.

Just an addition to my post:
The instrument that accompanies the entrance of the white horse, is the Loop Arabian Ceremony.
I wanted to "give" that horse an instrument of its own, to indicate that this is a special horse, the guide that is told about earlier, that will take you to a place that "looks\feels like" Eden.
It had to be clear, even if you didn't see the video, that something extraordinary is happening.
Anne-Marie

The be honest any vehicle that is used to carry your blended vocals will sound good.
This is a really good arrangement and melody with a good narrative and THOSE VOICES.
Je maakt een prachtig geluid.
I THINK there's a mic or something else that clicks off at the end...
Cheers

Nicely done indeed, you guys are highly talented and very professional.
I enjoyed this much.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

You two produced a wonderful waltz masterpiece.
Your harmonies are great, as was the lead vocal
The mix was spot on
The video really complimented the audio
One of if not your best to date

This has a lovely soft sound.
My only crit is the slight rush of lyric in "where horses run" which for me breaks up the smooth dreamlike flow of the song. My suggestion is to sing "where hor...ses run".
Other than that, wonderful.
Vic

Great galloping in three-quarter time. Love this song. Harmony is sooooo good. Your mix is perfect and the whole song is thoroughly enjoyable. I hear what Vic is talking about, but another way to look at it is that is the hook, and I like the way it trots right out there and sticks in the memory. One of the reasons why TuneMonger and I have played this song so much.

What a beautiful lyric and video to go with your beautiful vocals! And the harmony build was just lovely.
Janice was saying, “take us there too!” The waltz time was such a good combination with the galloping horses and the band sounds perfect to us.
We loved the Arabian fiddle loop that accompanied the handsome white horse guide.
We’re ready to go to that magical place!

Love the lyrics Anne-Marie. Excellent vocal. Loved how Rob delivered the vocal. Reminded me of a minstrel singer from early English folk tunes. Great story telling Awesome video.
