Strong, beautiful chorus.
You vocal shines. It's good to hear it again.
The build you achieved in the production leads to positive end.

Noel,
Beautiful.
An interesting write. Not "ordinary".
"I was born to love you" - love that one. Simple, strong.
Well sung.
Good mix. Piano sits well.
Enjoyed.
Always great to see you post one, Noel. Been a while...
fj Hi floyd! Thanks for dropping by. It's always good to see you  Thanks for taking time to have a listen, too. The mixing was slow on this one. Even though I play piano, I find mixing it can be tough going sometimes. I think it was compounded by the fact that I'm seriously out of practice, these days! I think it's high time for me to get up and get going again! All the very best! --Noel

Noel, SO hard to write an original, old fashion love song, but you've nailed it. Lovely, lovely song. GREAT vocals that make Hayden sound weak, and THAT's hard to do, too. Nicely balanced arrangement that buoys the vocals perfectly. Glad you saved this one from your songwriting group! Hi Ron! It's good to see you. Thanks for the visit! I think nearly all my songs sound old-fashioned. I long ago gave up trying to write for anything other than personal pleasure. As a result, I think I've probably insulated myself from today's music, and my musical tastes and musical ideas are from another point in time. That said, I love what I do and I enjoy working towards a finished product. It's a satisfying bonus when other people also enjoy what I've put together. Thanks again for taking the time! --Noel

BEAUTIFUL!
Janice was crying before the end of the first chorus at the beauty of the lyric and the heavenly sound.
We’re coming up on our anniversary and these lines got to us:
“I’ve always thought it true
I was born to love you”
And then we got to the chorus and WOW.
Hayden’s subtle harmony is so nice with your tender vocal. The piano and mandolin work lovely together and the chimes and the arpeggios were such a perfect accompaniment to the lyric.
Great band, write, mix and arrangement. It sounds excellent on the monitors.
We love it!
J&B Hi J&B, Thank you I appreciate your listening and your comments a lot. When I read your first comment, you got me thinking that I might not have taken these lyrics in the best possible direction. I was so focused on creating a Science-Fiction/Fantasy kind of scenario that my mind was closed to other possibilities. I'm seriously glad that you mentioned this because I going to now try and write some lyrics to maintain Janice's experience of the first verse. I'm not sure how it will work out but if I manage to come up with something, you'll be the first to know! You've got me smiling ear-to-ear here! And I'm excited to see if I can take these lyrics to the next level. Thank you so much! And I hope the two of you have/had a really wonderful anniversary! --Noel

Howdy Noel.... I agree with all other comments so I have little to add. Beautifully performed and you can sure hold a note. (unlike myself) Very well done and I enjoyed the listen. Hi Wayne. Thanks for the visit and the comments. I appreciate your time and your thoughts. All the best, --Noel

Hi, Noel.
You are frighteningly good at writing positive songs. These lyrics are quintessential Noel Adams: You got me smiling with this comment, David! Thank you Life has been a bit tough these last 12 months with secondary prostate cancer showing up last year (I had a prostatectomy in 2017). If ever you need to know anything about radiation therapy or hormone therapy due to prostate cancer, please feel free to ask. I've got quite a lot of experience these days in many areas of urology. Maybe I should put it into a song! A touch of alliteration, a "feel good" lyric:
Glistening golden hair and your face is like the sun
Shining bright, warming everyone I love alliteration and all the sonic devices I can use! These can really help make a lyric flow very well. Things like assonance, consonance, internal alliteration (that's what I call it, at least) and all the different types of rhyme and rhythm are all on the table when I write lyrics. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but once I get a lyric nearly settled to my liking, I go through the words and look for potential synonyms that might create better sonic links with my existing words. You weren't thinking "time to change up the rhythmic pattern a bit" when you wrote this, were you?
With relics from a Celtic shrine that bend heaven’s design Actually, I was so focused on writing a lyric that had a Science-fiction/Fantasy feel about it that when I got to verse 2, it occurred to me that I'd better give some kind of reason for my character's ability to reincarnate. I thought about ways of doing this for quite a while. Eventually, I landed on the idea that a form of mystical religion from ages past might be a useful way to do it. I tried various countries and their myths and legends before finally homing in on the Celts. Any upping of the rhythmic pattern is purely coincidental with trying to get a coherent story. Because you're probably the most analytic writer on this forum, and despite how effortless it all sounds, I know nothing is in your songs that hasn't been thoroughly thought out. Rightly or wrongly, I cannot stop myself from being analytical. It's the only way I know how to write lyrics. I think I've mentioned this before, but just in case I haven't... Back in the early 2000s, I went to a Pat Pattison seminar and his approach to writing lyrics really clicked with me. I'm a physics/chemistry/mathematics kind of person and as I listened to Pat, I could see how I could approach writing lyrics from an analytical perspective. He gave me tools and insights that allowed me to productively use my science background to create lyrics. These tools also allowed me to analyze the lyrics of famous songs. Up until meeting Pat, I'd tried to write lyrics many times. Every time, though, I couldn't get anywhere. Since then, I've been to many of Pat's seminars and I've done all the exercises in every one of this books. It's been quite an amazing journey of discovery and self-discovery! But it's not just the lyrics, but it's also the way you sing - shaping each syllable. There's a quality of earnestness in your vocal that's disarming. Hayden fits in well with you - nice work. But then, it's all nice work.  I'm really pleased that my singing is okay. I don't see myself as a singer. A few years ago, I simply decided to stop being self-conscious about how I sing and just do the best I can. I adopted the proverbial "I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" approach. That was a turning point for me, and it's all due to this forum and the supportive people in it (such as yourself). Software such as Nectar and Ozone also helped. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough. I'm sorry if I've over-explained myself. It's early morning, though, and I'm feeling enthusiastically verbose right now! I appreciate your visit a great deal. Thanks again! --Noel

Beautiful love song, I like it a lot. Melody, lyrics, vocal performance....everything says 'love'. I am still in the process of unknotting my tongue from "With relics from a Celtic shrine", though  Hi B.D. Thanks for passing through the thread and stopping to listen and comment. I appreciate the positive feedback And I'm sincerely sorry. I hope I haven't caused your tongue any permanent damage! All the best, --Noel

This is ever so beautiful. The lyrics are sublime, and your style of singing (as David Cuny wrote, above) is SO earnest, SO honest ... Hats off to you, sir. I wish I could write a lengthy, detailed review, but a) what would be the point of picking such a song apart, in terms of analysis, technique, etc. etc. etc.? , and b) you've kind of left me speechless, here Seriously, well done. Loved it. Hi James. Thank you for visiting the thread And thank you for having a listen and writing your thoughts. I sincerely appreciate the smile you brought me as I read them. Trust me, any good singing is purely coincidental. I just try to sing what I hear in my mind when I write the song. Sometimes that seems to work better than other times. It's always great to see you. I hope things are travelling well for you. --Noel

Noel,
A really beautiful song!
The vocals on this are especially good, and you've really knocked it out of the park.
I love positive, upbeat songs like this. The entire production sounds fabulous.
Great job!! Hi David, Thanks for having a listen. I really appreciate you comments. I'm very much out of practice at putting songs together these days. I really glad that this one came together eventually. It took a while! I think the moral of the story is that I shouldn't leave it so long between posting songs. I need to be more productive and get back into the rhythm of writing, arranging, producing and posting! Thanks again for taking the time. --Noel

Hi Noel, and here I am, finally!
Like-I think- most others here wrote, a beautiful song!
And I always compared your vocals with -the late- Robin Gibb. I still do!
Immediately when I hear your voice, I must think of his voice.
And I know you don't know him, because you always say that.
It doesn't matter. The song is very nice, lovely to listen to, the lyrics are very good.
Glad you are back,
Hans Hi Hans. It's excellent to see you. You have always manage to bring a huge smile to my face when I read your comments. Thank you for that And thank you for taking the time to have a listen. I really appreciate it. --Noel

Hi Noel,
Good to hear a new song from you! This is one of your best I think, very well written, and your vocal sounds great. Harmonies really work too.
Loved it! Hey Dave. It's awesome to see you. Thanks for jumping in and having a listen I enjoyed putting this song together. It was an interesting challenge for me to try and create something along the lines of Science Fantasy. All the very best! --Noel
