Phew, I don’t know where to start:

- Excellent lyrics and overall realisation.
- Beautiful vocal track and harmonies.
- Great chorus/hook, which is catchy and makes the song a classic.
- Lovely textures and atmosphere.

This song is excellent, real class.

… And many thanks for using my audio clip!

Thank you for this review which said exactly what I wanted to, minus the audio clip, which I couldn’t claim credit for :-).

Finished cleaning the car yet?!!! Just wanted to let you know that I listened to this beautiful song again today (6 Nov) and am still floored by how great it is — a real jewel.

I agree with Javolenus. I couldn’t do a better job with a review so I won’t bother ;-).

Very nice to hear you singing, and if any of that guitar work is you picking, even nicer.

i’m floored again. not only because you can do a track like this, but because you can find the time given your schedule. absolutely beautiful interplay between you & Javolenus. from one incurable romantic to another, 1000 ’s UP!

Thanks Panu . If it was not for technology it wouldn’t be possible.

It was actually 12 hours from sample download to the finish. I wasted a full 2 hours messing about on that solo. :-)

Not quite perfection , you can hear my bracelet rattling on the guitar solo, which bugged me at first, but then i figured it was new latin percussion. :-)

In Zimbabwe they put coke bottle tops on the mbiras for extra rattle and rhythm. I think it’s pretty cool.

Galaxy of dreams…. You know how to turn a phrase. And how to make acoustics sound like a million bucks. And how to sing… And and!

No clever quips — just a sincere appreciation for the beauty of this song. The melody and your delivery so very expressive of the sentiment in the lyric. Your harmonies are exquisite. And I love how you treated the vocals. Ed picked.

Thanks for the pick and your kind words, I enjoyed making this one and happy it’s been so liked. :-)

Don’t remember if I told you in a previous review that since I introduced a good friend of mine to ccm he’s downloaded all your songs (no joke) and they’ve become the soundtrack of that home. Unfortunately for the rest of us he’s not interested in anything else here.

What write, after all that is already written above?
I do not know if you know, one of our favorite French singer / composer, called “Laurent Voulzy” …. but what I mean here, it’s very close to his style.
Truly extraordinary musical moment here.
If you want I could send you the link of his latest album, you realize the similarity ….. but that does diminish nothing, of your talent of course.

I took a listen to Laurent, I can see what you mean :-)

Never a letdown, but the stunning quality of the overall track, the samples used perfectly, the feel and your voice… your production is always top notch, it’s like a song of the month club when you remix. Thanks again loveshadow.

Your songwriting style reminds me of Ellis Paul… but your voice… ohhh soooo much betta’ than ol’ Ellis… silky-smooth and breath-taking. Ditto to all the above praise and congrats on the Ed. Pick.

very nice! The main part of the song was great but the solo you added pushed this into “brilliant” territory. Well done! One of my faves by you.

Well now.

This is so very good. Did you watch “Ratatouille”? Listening to this I had an experience not too dissimilar from this, in that it brought me right back to a time long gone, but with a very contemporary twist.

So yeah.
