"When?"
by Tom Tognaci

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12921250


When …will I love again?
Have a song again?
In my heart again?
When …will I live again?
And dare to breathe it in

Well, I’ll know…yes, I’ll know
The sound of trumpets…. when they blow
I’ll know…yes, I’ll know
When that music rises…. in my soul


When? To be loved, again
To be whole again
Like I once was then
When…..will I fly again?
…and dare to trust the winds?

Well, I’ll know…yes, I’ll know
When the winds of change….. begin their blow
I’ll know…yes, I’ll know
That restless stir lifting my soul


When …will I love again?
Have a song again?
In my heart again?

Hey Man i really like this spaghetti western style sound track, everything about this sound great and that whistling, the good the bad and the ugly, the only think that missing is your horse but i really like this.

[adamfarr]

What's going on round here? This forum now contains more whistling than face-melting guitar solos! 

Really liked the classic folk-rock vibe here and real passion coming through in the vocal. Guitar rose and fell with it really nicely. I couldn't make up my mind about the ending - it seemed to slightly peter out but then that is also quite fitting in some ways for the subject...

Nice work.

[Bad Jeans]

Nice guitar work. And beautiful harmonies. Kept nice and small .

But would also work well with band.

Lovely song.

Anything with a whistling solo gets my vote!

I get the spaghetti western thing as well and I like it very much.
Not much I can say other than very nicely done, sir!

Very impressive. Lovely guitar and vocal. Has a nice sixties / early seventies feel to it - yep, the Western thing, I get that - but it also reminds me of many a song from movies from that era (in a very good way). Really liked it! More 1+1 please.

[Skub]

As good as anything I've heard recently. Good song,emotive and well performed.

Result.  

Edit...I dunno why everyone doesn't use soundcloud to build up a picture of likes and whatever. This soundclick format seems kinda isolated and disconnected.

Hi Oldbutyet.......thanks for kicking off a great review. And thanks for taking the time to listen. I didn't intend this to sound SW......It was while I was recording this, that I thought the song needed more....the whistle started off as just a track filler, until something more monumental presented itself. Most everyone seems to like it....I like it.......but until something better comes around, I guess I'll keep the whistle

Hi Adam, and thanks for stopping by. I never was one for face melting guitar solos (absolutely love to listen to those who can) but, I can whistle a tune, as long as the tin can is close 
I wanted the ending to be rather abrupt.........I do have another version that actually drops the other shoe at the ending, thanks again!!

Thanks Bad Jeans for the encouragement........and for listening! 

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks Skub.........as far as Soundclick, it's where I started  When I discovered that I could upload my music, I bought the Boss micro br-4 and began to try my hand with recording.
What's really fun is seeing where our tunes end up on the Music charts. My best performing song made #3 on the ROCK chart, while ranking #1 on the FOLK / ROCK chart. Doesn't mean anything....but, I can always dream

Thanks all!!

 Hi Tom. When I hear a song like this it makes me feel pretty inadequate with what I am knocking out. Beautiful song as it is but can also imagine how it would sound with lush production, strings, and all that sort of stuff. Effing excellent man

[Dimitris]

Excellent!

I like that you kept it simple, just a guitar and your voice - I wouldn't over-instrument it. I think it works fine as it is. And the whistling was gret too!

You made NUMBER ONE!!    I've reached the dizzy heights of #2 in Jump Blues and #3 in Americana (or maybe the other way round). Longing for a number 1 just so I can take a screenshot... Although I suspect that about 7 plays on each songs has been enough to get to those respective positions.

this is fabulous tom you have such a great gift for melodies ...i loved the way it goes from soft to loud  with lots of emotion & then back ...it realy gives the lyric power
 & the spagheti western whistling bit was terrific  ..i realy expected a load of shooting & sweaty cowboys!

 all these songs are like 2 years old.. have you given up doing new stuff?

[Movin Flavour]

Tom

definitely Spaghetti Western and that whistling complements the raw guitar very well.

Another great ballad.....marvellous production.

Hi pompeyjazz.......with such a glowing review, who needs a stage and audience 
Thanks for the most generous encouragement. And I do have another version.....one, such as you speak     Thanks, again!

Excellent!

Thanks Dimitris......your listening and commenting is much appreciated. I'm glad you like my song

Hi delb0y.............yea...I've had sixteen of my songs rank #1 in Folk / Rock chart, while simultaneously one of those ranking #3, and four of those ranking #4 in Rock Chart.

I'm still getting up at 3 am to get myself to work

Thanks for listening and commenting, Tina.........it means loads!

My latest recording is:  http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13205718

But, I've been writing steadily (about 10 tunes a year).......I am just having trouble finding the time and energy with recording my songs........the new job is very demanding......and very worth my added attention.
I don't know if I'm able to, anymore............seems kinda pointless, now-a-days.

Thanks, everyone!!
