Greg,
There`s a level of honesty in your writing that sets many of your songs apart.Matters not whether the lyric is fictional or factual- you get inside the story and make us believe.
This one carried me away - loved it, and if it were a movie I`d just have to stay in my seat awhile as the credits roll and let it sink in.
Robert Thanks so much Robert. You are quite a poet yourself!! Always admire your ability with words! Take care. Greg

This is absolutely and positivity the best tearjerker that I have ever heard. Your instrumentation was perfect! Your vocal and lyrics were outstanding. This is one of the best songs that I have ever heard on this or any other forum. You have raised the bar extremely high with this one. THanks Mario! You've been doing some killer stuff lately....your last one inspired me to write something in that style... not yet sure I really captured what I was after. Take care. Greg

Geez Greg what a beautiful vocal. Sound a lovely vocal. The lyric was so special. Loved the backtrack and feel of the song. The violin was such a nice touch. Well done... Thanks so much Scott! Always love to hear your tunes and what you have to say. Take care. Greg

The sparse arrangement goes great with the poignant story and makes the vocal even more touching and intimate. Great to hear you again Greg. Thanks Josie! Love hearing from you (always)! Come around more often! Take care. Greg

This may be the weirdest set of comments you will get. Keeping in short, I hate and love this song! An explanation... It's such a sad song. I hate that I feel this song to the extent I do. I feel the sense of loss because your writing is so strong. I really don't like feeling that way, and yet... It makes me SO thankful for what I have in my life. To realize it's just a song. It didn't actually happen to me; and yet I felt it. It's sort of a "Miracle on 34th Street" thing going on." Thank you so much for sharing it and giving life a certain perspective.  Of course the writing, music and killer vocal are all what put us there! Lyrically, to pick the lines I really like makes no sense. What would be the point of copy and pasting the whole song?  Really great song Greg! What a wonderfully flattering review!! I'm always so happy when one of my songs moves somebody. Really appreciate it!! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
I was away from the forum for several weeks (Di's health issues) and missed this amazing song when you originally posted it. I am so happy someone brought it back to the first page.
Sometimes a song is more than a fabulous voice accompanied by equally gorgeous music and delivery. When it draws you into the music and you suddenly and inescapably become the object of the story, you live it as though it really is you and you totally forget it's a song - that's as good as it gets.
Not only are we, here on these forums, blessed and privileged to hear you and your incomparable skills, this whole thing called music is the real benefactor of your talent. Music is only what we make it - and you make it special. You've shown us what music can and should be. There have been two songs in my near 72 years I have held near and dear for the great majority of those years. There are now three.
Thank you.
Alan

Here's what sooo great about this song and every really good song. It makes the listener have an experience, it digs deep into your soul and almost brings you to tears. It makes you think and relate to the story or you feel lucky that this wasn't you. Such a haunting, longing for something that could have been, but never was. A life that the singer envisioned that was missed. Especially loved the dramatic ending "I dove into that lake, trying not to feel my frozen heart break". Truly beautiful showing the depths of emotion.
The raw simplicity in the music, mainly beautiful vocals with just enough melancholy instruments to add to the feeling and emotion of this song. Very well done. That is certainly one of the nicest reviews I've ever gotten! Appreciated so much!! Take care. Greg
