Thanks all for listening and taking the time to comment!
@Younger Hills - cheers for the kind remarks. Glad you liked the rhyming.
@Dogmax - thanks Pat - yep I don't like a song to wear out its welcome mat. I must give ol' Elton a call one of these days - hope he's doing well
@Skub - thank you Davey You're right about waiting before trying to write the hard ones. My Dad passed away in 1978 and I just couldn't write this song until now. But you inspired me with your song to your Mom last year - and I said to myself "If Davey can do it - maybe I can do it too!" So you're to blame if there's any blame to be placed
BTW - you're right about that bass part - I will fix it anon.
@Bill Saunders - cheers Bill. Glad you heard some positive in it too. I had hoped for that to come across
@shadowfax - thanks Kevin. A full on musical eh? Am I allowed to animate it? Can it be a comedy? I'm game then!
@PaulyX - cheers Paul. "waterfall" melody - I'm going to use that if you don't mind
I cheated with most of the bass being MIDI except the intro/outro - glad I got away with it.
@MichaelA - thanks Michael. Yeah life's journeys are shared by many ain't it so. Happy to hear it resonated with you.
@mickyplankton - cheers Micky - chuffed to hear those comments on my piano playing and vocals. Still lots to be learned in both areas I'm afraid.
@tboswell - thanks Tom - sorry about your loss - I always worry I'm going to upset someone who listens to a song like this - but hope they'll understand. Appreciate the kind comments.
@redrhodie - thanks (Lynn?) Yeah my Dad was pretty supportive of my music way back then. Glad you think he'd like it.
@Jambrains cheers JB - that's nice to hear - thank you!
@PaulAds - thanks Paul - good to hear it wasn't too depressing
Your Dad's not alone in losing his marbles there's plenty of lost marbles rolling around here in Canada these days.
@montydog - cheers Alan - glad you liked that verse. That one just spilled out in a rush one day. Thanks for the kind remarks
Hope I didn't miss anyone
If I did thanks to U2!
Paul
