Hi All, Here's an old song that sat around for years without being recorded - something short, simple & folky. This is called Ghost Of Love. I parked my Jeep by the river to think Skipped a stone and watched it sink Now I’m on the bank as a clipper blows That’s how the ghost of love rolls I head on home as the night comes down Thinking about all the roads to town I see you through the darkness that grows That’s how the ghost of love rolls The sheets hold the imprint of her body after dawn And the bed remains unmade long after she’s gone We faced the day with a sense of time Years wash over all of our crimes Unsteady love is what we chose That’s how the ghost of love rolls Yeah that’s how the ghost of love rolls Baby that’s how the ghost of love rolls Baby that’s how the ghost of love rolls BIAB Tracks: 0362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 0700: Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotes Ev 085 2364: Synth, ElectroFlutes, Rhythm Ev 085 2811: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Ev 085 RealDrums: Mallets and Cajon As always - thanks for listening! Bob

Bob, this is fantastic.
I really liked your vocal and your lyrics.
You picked the perfect backing band for this song.
I also liked the song's dynamics.
Great mix.

"That's how the ghost of love rolls..." Ha! Great lyric, very cool song! Like the simple arrangement and the synth accents. Everything sounds exactly right. Fantastic job.

Bob, you always seem to pick the right band for the song. The synth works well. Some fine lyrics and a good delivery make this worth rescuing from the circular file. Another great job, Tom

Man, you write so many good ones that they overflow into some file where you bring them out, brush them up, and make them sound so good. A true song-writing machine.
Great opening: "I parked my Jeep by the river to think
Skipped a stone and watched it sink" Then it continues with that great imagery you always fit into your lyrics. Bob Dean's simple is simply outstanding.

I really like the instrumentation on this song. Soulful as ever!
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Bob,
The pain of heartbreak is oozing.
Your vocals match these lyrics well and captivate my heart.
It is very impressive that it begins with only percussion and bass accompaniment.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

It's quite dark at first but becomes clearer later. It's good and you have a voice for these atmospheres.
Bravo

Ah, lovely. I really like the way the arrangement morphs after the 1st verse and continues to bring sweet surprises like the flute solo.

Hi Bob,
Like Floyd, you are indeed a wonderful poetic songwriter!
I'm amazed this song lied on the shelf so long as you said.
But like older wine, it's getting even better!
I liked how you started the song, with the drums, the bass and your vocals.
And then the guitar came in. Great!
Hans
