Well written ballad, both musically and lyrically. Performances are spot on throughout. There's alot to be said for sublety in a ballad, and the lack of over emoting is what makes this for me. Nice mix Ed. Everything in its place.


Randy

Fanks.

Danny- Thanks again, brother.  I learn something every time you post.

John (Blipp)- Thank you. Robby did a wonderful job interperting those lyrics.

Chas- Thanks for the listen and comment.

Julien- Three or four tours, wow.  I don't know how some of these people do it.  We are all in their debt.

Brother Strummy-  Thanks for making the trip across the pond and thank you for the kind words.

I support overemoting in all forms.

:-) 

It is good... I just listened to it again, It is my high honor to work with these talented writers, musicians, and producers that let me tag along. And I mean that sincerely. Phil and Ed, both quality artists. I do appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with such talented musicians/writers/producers. Good times, and much respect...

See? I'm not the *-hole some claim? Just misunderstood? 

Well, maybe they're right "some of the time?" Awww crap, maybe most of the time? (they are, I can be an Arse.., Just as Ed LOL!)

But some times? Some times? It's all good...   

Come on!!! It's hard not to love me when I'm being all cuddly and vulnerable?   :-) However? There are "many people" who will refuse to comment? Simply because I am part of the production... So I really value and thank people who are willing to corroborate based simply on the fact that many here boycott me :-( I am not a bad person? 

But I sometimes say or do bad things?  It is difficult to explain or understand... But I am not a bad person? I'm a good person? You just have to dig...

Having served for close on thirty years myself, these lyrics touched me. Such a fine song with just the right level of emotion and performed with the excellence that is the trademark of all involved. Kipling said it with:

"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; "

Your lyrics are just as powerful if not more so. A truly great song.

Vicente- Thanks for the listen and comments.  Yes, if the tune has a weak spot, it's definitely the synth strings.

Bob- Thanks as always for the kind words.

Brian- Thank you.

Charlie- Thanks, man, those are really very kind words, and are very much appreciated here.

Malcolm- You are far too generous, kind sir, and I thank you deeply.

 Nice mix and I especially noticed the vocals here. Great harmony at the end.

BobV- Thank you for the kind words.

What a WONDERFUL song.  I love the chord progression and the structure of this piece.  Just everything works from the tone of Robbies vox, the lyrics, instrument selection, even the tempo choice.  Love the break at 2:25.  FANTASTIC colab/song!


Kev

Ed- Why not, indeed?

Phil - that's a great song!  And your vocal really captures the emotion of the lyric.  Makes me wonder what retirement might be like!

Sorry Robby - you're the one with the golden pipes!

Robby - your vocals are so damn versatile - you can sing anything.  Your performance on this piece fits the song so well I was fooled as I hadn't heard you sing like this before.  Just like that Van Halen song you did with Mark where you absolutely nailed it.

 Love the philosophy behind this tune! Terrific job by all, Danny's lead stands out as well as Ed's bass. Uh, Phil....you should be 28 soon, eh?
