The backing is great, but I particularly like the vocals, with the occasional harmonies.
What a nice tune that is. Well done.  8)

Brother, you weave a story and a song so elegantly. Remarkable talent! Listening on my ear buds and that percussion is bouncing around my brain, love it!
Rock on!

I haven't been here for a while and when I looked the list of recent songs I knew this one would be good.

I wasn't disappointed.

You are the package :-)

This song gave me chills. What a great story....and so sad. Loved the cello and bass. Excellent song all around.

Love the intro ray, kind of reminded me of Ultravox. The percussion is really catchy.  Great songwriting as always and great music, always layered in the right ways. Those strings sound lovely. :)

Thanks for listening.

WOWWOWOWOW!!

This is a gorgeous piece. I kind of wasn't expecting this (When I see "Ray Brooks" I hear "Caught in the act", sorry to pigeon-hole you in my mind!! ;D)

I was listening to the du Pre / Barenboim Elgar Cello Concerto a lot the other week - I've owned the famous recording, in some shape or form, since 1981 or so. My best friend at school played the cello and turned me on to it. Also, my Mum had a big thing about Jacqueline du Pre, she died a month ago and so that's why Mrs R and I were listening to it.

Anyway, this is a fabulous creation. And the recording, sublime.

Big big thumbs up from me.

By the way, I love that delivery of "fa-ace" in the second verse - I can't do that as much as I used to when I was younger. I love it when I achieve it or when I hear another singer do it.

   All that I need
Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

Beautiful Ray, you've painted a great picture here with some gorgeous sounds. Can't add a lot more to what the guys have said... beautiful stuff.

Beautiful intro and vocal harmonies in the verses were perfectly performed and placed.
I thought the music was brilliant in its simplicity and soulfulness, in its arrangement and performances.

My hat's off to you as always
