Emily's Smile.     Words /Music P. Madden.

Emily doesn't smile at all
 Emily just looks lonely
Out of the door and down the hall
Making the most of Sunday
If I knew where it went I retrieve it
All of the boys would love to see it
But doesn't smile at all

Emily lost at love I heard
Now Emily lost in a day dream
Likely to be left undisturbed
All alone on her own in a daydream
If I knew where it went I would retrieve it
All of the boys would love to see it
But Emily doesn't smile at all

I'd blow her a kiss but the winds to strong
She never would receive it
Said she'd call out to me when things went wrong
But I never did belive it
If I knew where it went I retrieve it
All of the boys would love to see it
But Emily doesn't smile at all

Life's a balancing act don't you trip and fall
Best that you stay on the wire
You'll get caught in the draft If the door ajar
Best that you stay by the fire
If I knew where it went I would retrieve it
All of the boys would love to see it
But Emily doesn't smile at all.

Cool song Peter.  Really enjoyed that.  Smooth vocal harmonies, and even smoother delivery.  Well mixed and the mellow instrumentation is entirely appropriate. A joy to isten to.  Brilliant.

I like this...

It reminds me of early post-Syd Pink Floyd. Dreamy and psychedelic. Your voice fits the airy mix to a T.

[stoman]

I like it too. A lot!

Sounds like a mixture of Simon & Garfunkel and Bread to me. Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I like it too...it reminds me of The Zombies or Mannfred Mann in their more psych period. Hope you don't mind the comparison intended as a compliment!

Definitely a melancholy edge, and your vocals are very strong. I'm listening only on my laptops speakers at the moment, so I'm filing this one away for further listening on a good set of headphones.

Nice to have you aboard our site Buster, you are killing me here with this song.  You are very good.  I am very curious about your set-up, if you don't mind sharing a bit.  What instruments (a lot as far as I can hear) and what are you recording this with?  I really like this slice of dream pop, simply fantastic.  Oh yeah, great lyrics and vocals too.  Fantastic.

Second listen, this time on headphones...great song Busterbrown! Love the flamenco-ish feel to the music, and it has a bit of a Seventies feel to it, too. Sounds like a hit to me.
