The piano and vocal sit really well together on this and I think you’ve moved more towards Leonard Cohen than Tom Waites in the feel of the song.
You’re vocal is a lot more controlled on this take but nice to see you still got a great note bending bit in towards the end!! |

my poor ole’ voice has been badly abused by cavorting with everyone from Bach to Gypsy Canto-Hondos - yet sometimes it falls into a temporary comfort zone. Thanks for the listen and observations.

You see, it’s already perfect as it is, without me messing things up. Which doesn’t mean that such a thing won’t happen in the future. ;-) Funny to hear that you seem to have gone for other arrangement decisions than I did.

I have feeling you are not really capable of messing things up too bad. Regardless, an interpretation is just that - it is your own unique view and response to a personal creative adventure…I’m looking forward to more of your pieces as they surface.

You really have a sound, a world, a personality and a great sensitivity, that i appreciate more and more. I always like when someone “does the difference”…
Really beautiful song…Nice emotion. Great work.. |

Fine lyrics filled with sad longing. Definitely feelin’ it. Is that you as a lad, in your pic?

Thanks for listen FPB -
I love sad songs…even though I am not really a sad guy…actually kind of gregarious by nature. Yes - it’s me as a petite sailor dude. |

Probably a sad song, but all parts (piano, cello and vocals) express for me something more than only a sad mood. Is it the quintessential spirit you talked about?? Don_t know, never have been in the US. But I think I can see where want to go. Interessting approach on a difficult theme.
The cello is really nice played! |

Thanks J
perhaps beyond mere sadness the lyrics are really about freedom…departure from things which bind one to a world that does not permit personal expansion. Thanks for the review and thoughtful comments. |

Really nice work, you shouldn’t be reluctant to do more full remixes in the future.

this is epic and very reminiscent of over seas voyages, never-to-be-seen-again immigration and toil. From another time, as I have begun to believe you are:) Very beautiful. I hope you upload the cello bit- it’s gorgeous.

its always nice to hear from you. Thanks for your observations. Though I may not be from another Time, I certainly am a time-traveler…perhaps you have a bit of that in your own soul as well….Hope life is treating you good and I look forward to hearing more of your work soon. |
