Hi everyone...this is a song  I wrote when I was but a mere lad, for my foolish sister, way back in the day.
Hope you all like it  
Any and all comments are welcome, and first impressions are appreciated.
Thanks, in advance............

“Your Aura Glows”
By Tom Tognaci

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11285618


I can see it in your eyes
I feel it in my toes
I can hear it in your voice
Everybody knows

You can’t hide it
Your body language shows
Can’t deny it
True love always grows
Being young and a foolish heart
Your aura glows



There’s that something in your laugh
That lingers in your smile
And the way you float on clouds
As thin as your denial

You can’t hide it
Your body language shows
Can’t deny it
True love always grows
Being young and a foolish heart
Your aura glows

[Morefrog Jones]

Some nice lines - cute/trippy little song well delivered.
Put some movie type images in my head when I listened as would fit an art house style movie very well.

Hi Tom, really enjoyed the guitar picking that's very nice. Great vocal again. A bit too much reverb it sounds as if it's been recorded in an aircraft hangar! Nice laid back feel worked very well, good stuff!Nice song.
Cheers

I love this! I have no nits whatsoever. I did notice the reverb, but I thought you did it on purpose for ambience, to make it sound dreamy or maybe like it was coming out of the past. It made me think of someone daydreaming. The whistling is awesome. I wish I could whistle! I can make a shrill whistling sound, but it isn't music. <<sigh>>

This is probably my favorite of your works that I have heard. But I'm saying that without comparing them directly. This one is fresh in my mind, and it is lovely.

Tom - what a great melody line!
Becomes a great hook by the end.
Nice work (and whistling)
No nits from this wee corner of the planet.

First impression..excellent! and always love your guitar work...

Hi Tom!

It's always a treat when you post a song.
I think the lyrics are a bit too simple. Just
a bit more depth in an added bridge would
give that little extra.
The delay is a bit distracting. But just a little.

Great work!

Hi Tom.

The 60s want their song back. 

It has a lovely Beatles/Badfinger vibe,which is just fine in my book.

I'd change nothing. 

[Cazrolina]

A real treat 'Nuff said.

Loving your work!

Thanks, again, Jamie

Hi Vickie......woah! This wasn't meant to be a Fav 
I am tickled that you like it! Thanks!
And yes...the reverb was deftly conjured to reproduce that walking on cloud 9 atmosphere.
And thanks , soooo much, again.

Beautiful fingerpicked intro that engages the listener from the beginning.  . In fact the guitar is delightful throughout.  I'd ease off on the reverb a little in the mix.  Lyrically, everything has it's place and I admire that in a well written song.  This has a lazy Sunday kind of feel, Mayberry like 'Feelinn' Groovy (The 59th street bridge song- Paul Simon) I was going to suggest a contrasting section but then Maybe  part of the charm and your ability to achieve that lazy Sunday feeling is in the short presentation of this song.

Very enjoyable for me.

Hi Tom,

Read these out to my mate (2 for 1 Sundays ), we both picked out lines form the fourth verse as our faves (Him the first two, me the second two).

Interesting song, we both got the impression of forbidden love, which was intriguing given your context around your sister 

Think I read in the comments that the lyrics are too simple, but simplicity isn't always a bad thing - and there's plenty in there to get us thinking and understand the position your protagonists are in.

Beautiful and soft feeling to the whole thing, I really enjoy how you can have your soft melody but still convey a rugged sort of pain.

Glen thinks that the simple musical arrangement compliments the simplicity of the lyrics. He also feels that the music is a bit playful, which diminishes some of the undertones lyrically to create a more enjoyable balance.

Love the whistling btw.

Cheers,
Scott.

Hi,

I liked this, nice and relaxed, honest with some good melodies and harmony.

If I'm being honest though, it feels like it's missing a trick to me. It feels like it should have a bigger chorus. The lines 'you can't hide it' to 'true love always grows' feel like a pre chorus that should then launch into a big catchy chorus.

Of course, feel free to dismiss this as bonkers and I appreciate it might totally change the mood or what you were trying to achieve.

Still enjoyed what's there though.

I think there's something innocent and unpretentious about this - nothing too poetic or artsy. Possibly without the guitar it might be too simple but the guitar gives it a real timeless (medieval? 1969?) feel.

Very relaxed and atmospheric.

[Mike67]

Real 60's vibe, l but timeless,  and I love the way it skips along - beautiful guitar work.  I wouldn't change a thing - wish I'd written it
