Nicely done. You know I'm a fan of your lyrical skills. I found myself sitting in that pub with you while listening to this. That's what a good song does for the listener.

Hi Bob, your lyrical skills are great. That's one of the reasons I like your songs. The other is the song itself and the melody.
And that counts for this song in a higher degree. Nice how you introduced Joliz in it. Like it a lot.
Oh yes, Berlin... I've been there several times. Not in a B17, but by car and train.
From the moment the wall still stood until now. But never in the way you sing about it. And I might regret that...?

Hi Bob.

This is stunning.
My favourite line is... "Old poets only slip out and fade to grey."
It's both a prophetic and a profound line, and it really resonated with me.
Another standout for me was the last line of each section.
I loved the way "in Berlin tonight" was a non-rhyming.
For me, this amplified the emotional journey and attached a feeling of nostalgia to the presentation.

I really enjoyed going where you and Joliz took me!
--Noel

This song deserves to be recorded. Phenomenal lyrics, but that is what I expect. Gentle melody. Joliz's voice melds well with yours.

Hey a great job to everyone here! An instant classic.

Wonderful lyrics as always and quite the instantly recognizable Bob Dean vocal and what I like to refer to as the Bob Dean chords.

😂

Hard to mistake this for anybody else as it sounds 100% straight up Bob Dean. Those background vocals are a sweet touch.

You went to a lot of trouble to use that 488.

But it sure gives a sweet tone and Tom Petty would be proud of you man, or at least Tom Petty when he was in his tour bus using his battery operated Tascam Porta One.

Still, why are you being so hard on yourself? Don't you know there's a VST for that?

😎
