Touching song. Love the whole mix of this.

DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee

Love the style of the lyrics ray, it's like Shakespeare wrote them, just great.
Also love the minimalistic music, it works perfectly. Love all the instruments. Great country vibe to it.  Just fantastic vocals..very catchy chorus.
I have 2 profiles on this site, (NOW COMBINED INTO ONE PROFILE PAGE)
 One is a musical partnership with Keith Allen, ( we record songs as "The Devil's Toupee").
The 2nd one is for my other musical projects and collaborations. (DarrenG)
Thanks for listening.

The bg vox and guitar are hauntingly infectious, this tune is great! I was going to say more, but I'll just leave it with god bless those poor people who didn't deserve this madness that has been going on a long, long, long time.

Terrible situation that nobody really expected, except maybe the Ukranians who tried to warn us. I am a bit surprised it hasn't inspired more songs here on SC (unless I have missed them), but maybe it is so dark it's hard to put to music. But this works brilliantly Ray.

Beautiful & poignant. So expertly put-together, but it's those 'Keep that heart beating for me' parts with the backing vox that really blow me away. Amazing piece of work.

Heartfelt dedication, Ray. Good lyrics, and I love the instrumentation employed.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.
