Marty,
Great! Love the song, instrumentation and the ending is awesome!
Much enjoyed!
Bob Thank you, Bob. Glad you like it! Marty...as a member of the BabuMusic fan club I must say "well done"....man you just keep'em coming...I like the whole package (as usual) especially the modulations...they were so well placed and add such a professional touch to the arrangement...I'm a sucker for 12/8 and the high hat tip-toes us down the path on "the long way home"...your videos kill me (in a good way...not the way my wife means it  ...your vocals are great especially the bass dip at the end...so pro...so you and Dave...BIG fan! Thanks, Dan. Glad you mentioned the modulations. You are the king of that technique. You're killing me with jokes about your wife. Judging from your apparent happiness, I'd say she has the best definition of "kill." Hi Marty and Dave
One of your best songs
Great songwriting
Vocals, guitar and sound are really cool
All around a great song
Also like the video and it fits the song well
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks so much, Andi. Can't wait for your new one. The previews sound really good. So you're saying I should be reading in between the lines of the lyric and find some sort of sexual innuendo laced subtext? And just when I managed to drag my mind out of the gutter!  I thought the tempo of the song was a good match for the lyric - a sort of easygoing gait. A pleasant listen, well arranged, sung and mixed. I thought the nuclear meltdown was an inspired match to the lyric! Hi, David. I always enjoy your comments, and often on others' posts I say, "Yeah, like David said..." Hmmm. I thought sexual innuendos are in every song.

Lovely line for a song when you're young, Marty.
It's the short way for me nowadays.

Marty,
Your choice of using Daves parts in this was a good one! Blues players and Country pickers are distant cousins and not that far apart. Daves work was great! Love your vocals and IMO you can do a "Country" flavored tune very well! Love that drop down on the vocals at the end!
Thanks, Torrey

Nice romantic country tune and together with the video everything tastes sweet along the trees and the cool streams. Great band, the piano, your bass and Dave's guitar play tightly together. Enjoyed the vocals also and then ending note made me smile. Nice held ending too, maybe not as long as The Beatles had on their A Day In The Life, but enough to give the impression of the everlasting walk or something related to tantra Janne

A very nice Long Way Home! Splendid music and vocals. Great vocals at the end  And a lovely video too! Anne-Marie Thank you, Anne-Marie. SO happy you like it. Yes, Jeevs, take the long way home!
Very good, sweet (Janice’s word) lyric delivered by a resonant, rich vocal.
Those key changes were great.
Dave’s guitar fills, as Peter mentioned, have a nice bit of country feel to them. Excellent!
Your bass (we think) and the BiaB tracks, as always, are hittin’ the note.
Cool video too, as always.
And for J&B it’s hard to go wrong with a mountain bike trail and clear creeks!
Good one!
J&B
PS: RT Bass and Marty Bass?
I play the part of Jeeves in some of the made-up games Charley and I play. That's sweet of you, Janice. At first I didn't understand your question in the PS. Ha. I just cut and paste the BiaB info and forgot to remove the original bassist. It's a stroll with an urgent story but it works a treat,
Everything to enjoy in the arrangement and your performances with Dave adding the icing.
Your voice is really cool. Thanks, Ray. Yes, an urgent story with a happy ending. Awesome tune Marty. Really cool groove. Excellent vocal. Instrumentation was perfect. Loved Dave's glassy tones. Perfect callbacks to the vocal. Just loved the mix and instrument separation. Well done HUGE thanks to you, Scott.

Hi Marty and Dave,
This is a very pleasant song for a loooong walk home!
While the tempo fits perfectly with my walking tempo, your vocals fit perfectly in the song.
and Dave also fits perfectly in it.
What a nice song you made!
I agree with everyone else about it. But how low did your vocals go at the end! Must have cost you a lot of booz...
I enjoyed it very much,
Hans

Sweet lyrics. Just the right sentimentality that I like.
Dave's bits fit in seamlessly, just as I have come to expect.
Tempo works for me. I like the vocal build in the last chorus. Ooo, the depth of that last note!

Marty & Dave.
Make a bad song already, so I don't feel so inferior!
Wonderful tune. No matter which style you tackle, it comes out super smooth, like you been playing together for many many years. Excellent guitar and bass playing and super vocals. Very clear mix. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thank, Misha. Harumph! I have plenty of bad ones. Just visit my YT channel --or better yet, visit my website. There are songs there that will never even make it to YT. Thanks to everyone that mentioned my part in this song. Always a pleasure to work with Marty on his music! Thanks for BEING in the song, Dave. Lovely line for a song when you're young, Marty.
It's the short way for me nowadays.
Vic Ah, yes, Vic, and you'll notice I know all the shortcuts. hehe Marty,

Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. Yes, I feel every song stems from the Blues. Nice romantic country tune and together with the video everything tastes sweet along the trees and the cool streams.

Nice held ending too, maybe not as long as The Beatles had on their A Day In The Life, but enough to give the impression of the everlasting walk or something related to tantra Janne Thanks, Janne. Love that comment. Yeah, I think I've played every Beatle song at least once with some band. Even did Revolution No. 9 once. hehe Thanks, man.

Oh my word, this is (even by your high standards, where I've come to expect excellence) STUNNING.
I'm no good at comparing artists, but this has a kind of Elvis-y vibe to it.
In any case, bravo. Superbly done. And Dave does a tremendous job on the guitar :-)

Marty and Dave,
It's a song with a very laid back atmosphere that makes me feel relieved.
It's basically a country song, but I felt that something was added to it.
The vocals and guitars are cleverly matched, making for a very professional production.
The video also matches the music very well.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

HA! Hans, I love the way you think. I do a lot of walking, and have yet to find anyone as fast. I'm always on point. For me it's always the cheap wine. hehe Sweet lyrics. Just the right sentimentality that I like.
Dave's bits fit in seamlessly, just as I have come to expect.
Tempo works for me. I like the vocal build in the last chorus. Ooo, the depth of that last note!
Thanks, Scott. That last note is just an E2 (open 6th string on guitar), which is really more my comfort zone. Oh my word, this is (even by your high standards, where I've come to expect excellence) STUNNING.
I'm no good at comparing artists, but this has a kind of Elvis-y vibe to it.
In any case, bravo. Superbly done. And Dave does a tremendous job on the guitar :-) Thanks, James. Hey, I was just thinking of you. Missed you and was about to go searching for you. The only thing I have in common with Elvis is I like peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Marty and Dave,

Shigeki Adachi Thanks, Shigeki. I can't talk to you without mentioning how blown away I am from the strings you put on Andi's new one. Man, I can't wait to hear the final mix on that. Thanks again.

Marty, this is superb! Has such a bluesy-country feel to it. Sounds like both you and Dave were born for this kind of music. All the musical parts work so well together - and you did a great job with that Vocal!
