Robert,
This is very beautiful... A very moving piece. Love the harmony Janice is singing here.
Wonderful!
Bob Bob, Thank you! When I suggested to Janice that we try a unison vocal on the higher lines in the verses as well as harmony on the chorus, I didn`t know if it would fit... boy was I thrilled with what she sent me. Really glad you enjoyed this. Robert

Mr. Cordrey...
What's the word to describe this song of yours -- evocative? Yes, I think that's word, which means "bringing strong images, memories, or feelings to mind". Who would think that a song written and composed on the subject of a pair of historical figures who've been dead for approximately two-hundred years, could so completely mesmerize a listener such as myself?
Have you ever seen a film starring Robert Redford, and titled "Jeremiah Johnson"? Your song evokes the wintry, wistful sound and feel that the composers of the film's score, Tim McIntire and John Rubenstein, conjured up in the film.
And, once again, sir, your lyrics overwhelm the senses with mood and galleries of imagery that create a whole world, verse by verse, line by line, word-by-word.
Ms. Janice's harmonizing vocals added to your own solo vocal makes you two sound like a man and woman surviving on the very frontier explored by Messrs. Lewis and Clarke.
It's music to listen to by the light of a single candle.
Carried away,
LOREN
Loren, Ok, there`s no question; when I finish my masterpiece I`d like you to do the liner notes! There are several things you say about our collaboration here that I`ll cherish...thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts; some of them are going on my fridge. I`m listening to the Jeremiah Johnson soundtrack now - very fine it is too! Robert

Great job all around.
Thanks for listening and commenting. I do appreciate it! Janice

I have great respect for writers who tackle real world events and history as song subject matter.
the writing is descriptive and lyrical and the melody is original and engaging (I hear a bit of L. Cohen)
great song and collaboration!

I enjoy the subtext of reading history and hopefully coming at familiar stories from a different angle in song. The idea for Janice to sing parts of the verses as a duet came from listening to L. Cohen`s Leaving Alexandra. Thanks very much for your listen and comments. Robert

Wow - what an incredible collaboration! Your voices meld together so perfectly on this. Also, the lyrics here are vivid and I love how abstract they sound. It really helps add a new dimension to the tune. It reminds me of Neutral Milk Hotel a little bit - they are an independent indie folk band that is highly praised, so that is most definitely a compliment  Great work, and thanks so much for sharing! Thank you Deryk for mentioning the harmony blend! Robert wrote a very nice song and was equally nice to invite me to sing on it. Janice

I'm super late to this thread, but I'm glad I got a chance to hear this.
Not only is this really well done, but - as so many others pointed out - the form is more a spoken poem than standard song form, which is very cool.
