Robert,
Nice work. Excellent choice of the style as well as real tracks. "Dust in the wind" is one of my most favorite songs by Sarah Brightman. What attracted me the most was its accompaniment by two guitar fingerpickings. Your song reminded me of it.

Robert,
I REALLY like this. It has some very strong Paul Simon elements, and I say that as a huge compliment. Yes...and that is a huge compliment. The stripped down band is perfect for the arrangement and allows the fine vocal to carry the lyric very well. I'm fond of saying that perfection is not when more is added but rather when there is nothing left to take away. Well done! J&B

A moving song, a boy's thoughts as he goes about his chores on the prairie. I spent a year in Canada and the prairie loomed large in peoples' imagination. I liked the way "over the sea" ended in a melodic turn down.
Marty Thanks for that, Marty- I`m glad the prairie meets imaginative boy theme came through. Robert

Hiroshi, Thank you for your listen and comments. The twinned guitars opening that Sarah Brightman song are cool - I`d not heard it before. Robert

Robert,
I like this folk song. Interesting storytelling and imagery.
Your voice is so easy on the ears and the harmonica was a nice touch.

Robert,
Another strong song demonstrating your songwriting skills.
Superb lyrics and I can also see some of the magical influences of Paul Simon and Donovan in amongst it all.
Loved the harmonica - it fitted like a glove.
Excellent work,

Hello, Robert
As Jez said, I also feel some of the magical influences of Paul Simon and Donovan in amongst it all.
Very good melody and very gentle vocal!
It is so nice the chord progressions of A part which start with Dominant (G7) instead of Tonic (C) and go to Dominant of A minor (E7) - Am - F.
And Harmonica is very pleasant.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Robert,
I was mesmerised by the backing that you've assembled and arranged for this creation. I thought it was ideal. Lots of imaginative lyrics, metaphors and imagery! I found myself wondering what the book must have been like to read.
Thanks for posting. It's always enjoyable to hear where your songwriter's pen takes us.
All the best,
Noel

Noel Noel, I have to give most of the credit to BiaB for the arrangement... not much to change with the new styles. The book (and especially the boy`s relationship with the slightly touched religious man) is very good. Thanks for continuing to listen to my songs! Robert
