Bit of a Steely Dan sound. Nice visuals in the lyrics.
Nice intro. Some songwriters are poets; some are great lyricists. This writer is both. The lyrics could stand on their own as a poem but the composer has aptly put them to a meditative melody. The word pictures in this song are absolutely phenomenal. What can be better than the aurora borealis kissing heaven's door? There was a lot of thought put into the writing of this song that speaks of retiring in the north instead of Arizona where their wrinkled friends are bleaching their bones in the cactus sun. Love the "snow princess and troubador". Great word pictures throughout. This song is expertly crafted from start to finish. There isn't a thing I would change about it.
you always bring good stuff to the surface......the approach is unmatched....
Nice mood-setting vocal and instrumental arrangement. There's a John Sebastian-like quality to this song. Very cool.
Very poetic! A descript recalling of youth into adulthood and then into the golden years.. a swan song.
A real island-y feel to this tune. The approach is very James Mee from Vermont. The personal touch of the lyric grabs the ear.
I like the lead vocals a lot - sounds a little like James Taylor. I really like the sound of the piano as well.
Lots of word pictures. Almost a sensory overload. I would have been more comfortable with a little less to think about. Sometimes, simpler lyrics give a song broader appeal. This one could use a little simplification, to communicate with a larger audience. The instrumentation on the song was tasteful and appropriate. Respectfully submitted, CowboySlim
This is very very beautiful. It is really different in a wonderful wonderful way. It has great instrumentation. The vocals and harmonies are right on. The lyrics take back to an old time which we will never see again. The arrangement is very complex but so beautiful.
Very smooth vocal, reminds me of JT. The music is very soulful and very well performed. The raindrop piano parts really make for a nice feel. A real "feel good" number! Thanks it let me with a nice warmth.
Great recording, the harmonies are so natural and really add a lot to the song. I loved the piano work and the singer's voice is very strong. A lot of good imagery in the lyrics.
