Janice and Bud Quote: Short but sweet. We liked the sparse arrangement. Really pretty piano and great tone. It would make a wonderful video. We much enjoyed the listen! Thank you so much. Yeh a video would fit well but I would need permission from the lady in question 1st as she should be in the video. We intend to SKYPE this weekend so she will soon hear it for the 1st time. gulp Herb Quote: I'm glad (I think) that this worked out for you with her.... I'm reminded of the country song "Thank God for unanswered prayers".... Wow that's a song and I too see the resemblance in the lyrics, thanks for the link. I enjoyed that song!! I am not thinking of anything past the moments we meet.... just as long as we stay friends now! Tom Quote: Nice write and what great chord changes! A very heartfelt delivery of a personal message. Great job! Thank you so much Alyn My showcase songs My story

Nicely done my friend. Just this time I'm going to disagree with Greg (who's opinion I respect and usually share) and say that I think it works well with just the straightforward piano. I think strings might make it just a bit too sentimental. Will there be a sequel? ROG. +1 Couldn't say it better. Lovely Alyn, Josie Youtube Channel Soundcloud

Thank you for that, BIAB plays a good part in the realisation of the style changes, but my musical upbringing was varied to begin with. Or maybe its my brain 'cos I see your "forum-name" as musi-clover. JosieC Yeh all vocals are me, I have never had quests on my songs apart from my cat miaowing on one, years back!!

There are no better songwriting tools than Honesty and Sincerity and they ring loud and clear in these lyrics. It's also a great piano Realtrack and I thought it was excellent match for the style of song. A wonderful presentation! All the best, Noel latest song: Just A Little After Midnight MY SONGS...
