Lyrics:
I was walking on that road you seem to know so well yes, it was like you so painstakingly described now I wasn't paying attention, but I may have heard her, eh, You may have hurt her it seems so long ago, and that's funny isn't it? ha, surely you'll remember.....
Where did you go to my little Mandy? Did your lovin' all run out where can I find you my pretty Mandy? Hope you find a resting place
but I decided to turn around, not really getting into it you know. after all who wants to know, I know you don't you haven't forgiven yourself have you? yeah that seems unlikely and would be way too hard you still hear her at times? you can admit it, I know you're still running
Where would you go to my little Mandy? A place where no one will be found Never a trace my pretty Mandy I hope you found your resting place
there must be fragments of memories there must be.... something you never even told me what went on that night about where she was and where she went I know you couldn't stand it, hell you couldn't even stand yourself but what you did, what you did
Where did you go to my pretty Mandy?
Did your lovin' all run out Never a trace my pretty Mandy A place where no one will be found Where can I find you my little Mandy? I pray you find your resting place

A big change in style from a lot of your earlier stuff, but I must say I loved the whole thing from start to finish.
It's never easy getting spoken lines to work, but I thought you did a wonderful job with this one. In fact, the entire arrangement is very clever, with a great solo and a really intimate atmosphere.
“you never even told me what went on that night about where she was and where she went I know you couldn't stand it, hell you couldn't even stand yourself but what you did, what you did...”
Original and haunting. Your vocals are as flawless as ever and the arrangement nicely restrained. A song that stays with you. The video is your most professional to date imo (well worth watching full screen).
Rob, I wasn't expecting that. The spoken words work so well. I enjoyed the fill in the blanks aspect of the lyrics. Nicely done and a very enjoyable listen. Tom

That, is excellent writing, IMHO.

Rob,
The Bobs and Robs covered it well... This is stunningly good!! Great write. Beautiful production...that new Brent acoustic was a good find..nice use of the dreamy track for a solo...
I like it that this one took you by surprise ;-) This one was composed, however, rather fast. I've had songs that took me much longer, with a lesser result. The combination of the Brent Mason acoustic guitar real track and the piano was such a good mix to compose on.
But of course my single goal with every new song (especially in my solo projects) is to reinvent myself whenever and wherever I can.
Did you already check out the video? It wasn't uploaded yet when you listened to the song ;-)
Thanks again for a very positive comment!
