Love this one robert.your so talented mate.your guitar playing is on another level. Love the rythem of this song you create a whole multitude of sounds great song.
I was surprised to find this song clocking in at 5 minutes when I did the video. Most songs I write are between 2 and 4 minutes long. I'm pleased with the response though. I'm grateful for every view and every comment. Thanks for your support, Hal! Much appreciated, my friend!
Hallo Robert, a very fine performance of this nice original song … love it my dear friend … I enjoyed my listening ! 👍👍 BIG like. I wish you a happy new week ... Fons.
Robert, you have a great lyrical skill. I have listend to a number of your compositions and have enjoyed them very much. Have you ever had the change to record them officially or have any artists cover them?
Thank you for the kind comment, Mike! In answer to your question: No, I have never officially recorded anything, and no-one has approached me to cover any of them either. That's OK - I'm just an amateur musician enjoying myself. I write poetry and the occasional short story, in addition to songs, and I did have several of my poems published in anthologies, back in the 1990's and early 2000's. I gave up submitting poems though, because the royalties are so small, and publishers expect you buy at least one copy of the book! Only once did a publisher send me a free copy of a book which contained one of my poems! So, now I just post poems on line (at the Poetrypoem site) for free, under my pseudonym of Silver Birch. I have turned a few of my poems into songs, but not very often. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Like many other people, I have loved and lost in the past, but this song is not written about anyone in particular. It is, after all, just a song - with artistic licence!
Great song. Looking at your profile I see you’ve written a lot of Songs I only started to Write songs a few months ago so I’m interested - which do you have first, the words or tune? For Me it’s the words
Thank you for the comment. In answer to your question: I usually start with the melody first, after finding an interesting chord progression, and then the lyrics come last. But I also write poetry, and I occasionally turn a poem into to a song, so in such cases obviously the words come first. There is no right or wrong way to write a song. We should do whatever feels natural to us when composing a song, I would say. Good luck with your own writing and recording!
Very well written, Robert. Is this song about a personal event in your life, or is it an imagined tale? Either way, it is very touching. I look forward to more of your posts.
Beautiful song, seems to get better every time I listen to it.

Thank you James! The song is indeed based on personal experience, but not really one particular person!
