The Love We Knew

[Ray Brookes]

Yet again I asked TonyC to provide the vocal track for a song and a great job he did. Thanks heaps, Tone.

The sight of you stops my breathing;
My heart won't beat under your stare
My spirits sink to see you leaving,
My eyes upon your empty chair
Though the room here crowded and heaving,
My eyes search for only you
Only now do I wonder of the love that we once knew

As sure as sunrise every dawning,
As sure as sun sets in the west
As sure as climate change, global warming,
Still feel your head on my chest
Check my mailbox every morning
For the sake of something to do
It's all too late now and I wonder of the love that we once knew

The sight of you brings on that freezing
As you dance upon that cloud
Just an image, surreal and teasing
Amongst the laughing smoking crowd
Just ourselves we think of pleasing;
As we watch chaos ensue
And how easy we look back at the love that we once knew.

Another classy composition, I love the combination of piano and organ, that's really good and the slide guitar is lovely. Tony's vocals are superb and really fit this one like a glove. And as always, superb production that results in a great sounding track. A great collab guys.

Good to hear another collaboration from you both. Two great musicians. Fantastic music and lyrics  ray, ( as always) and some great sultry vocals from tony. I love that slide guitar ray.

[Greeny]

Gave me a Van Morrison vibe on the intro. And then Tony adds that lovely soulful gravel. Such superb musical and production skills on display. Not least on that superb slide solo. What a great listen and collaboration!

Shades of Motown!  This is great.  Another surprise from the Rayster with a different vocal sound provided by Tony.
Very entertaining, guys!
