I wrote this three or four years ago, but it's been honed and shaped through lots of live performances. It's a very special song to me (and part of my DNA now...), and it's for someone very special. Hope you 'rock' boys can deal with a love song like this!  :D

I've finally given it the BR treatment - it's me on vocals, 12-string acoustic and telecaster, and Flash Harry on bass (...as always, the icing on the cake).

Thanks Tim.

This is one of my favourites of yours. I really do like the whole thing, the way it lifts into the chorus is just lovely.  I had to hold back on the rhythm, it just wants to go, but you hold it and hold it before you let it go, it's timed to perfection.

What a love song!

If this is a love song, it is a powerful one indeed! I agree with FH - The rhythm wants to go - needed skilled musicians to keep it under control!

I like this one!

The blues/folk/Prog rocker really loves this one. It is sublime, it is so fine, it is sunshine.
