Dan- You sure write lovely songs! Your guitar sounds so pretty, and I love the rhythm. It's a contemplative melody, yet is hopeful, moving forward.

I listened intently to the evocative lyrics and felt the need for a resolution of the question that matches the tune. I feel the despair of the words and want them to move a little further toward meeting the perceived hope of the tune. Even when you write from depression you make me want to hear more- pretty slick, I'd say. :)

Thanks for posting this. It was great to be able to listen to it. If you ever do need a real list of what you've done right here, drop me a line. I can fill a full page for you!

Thank you Maeve, I switched to a classical guitar on this one. I wanted to try and mellow it instead of using the old Martin ... I need to play my classical more. I love the sound out of a classical

A very moving, lovely song that evokes a question in all of us. It's quite obvious that you have done a lot for us with your music and song; Now how about an upbeat piece? LOL! Thanks again!

My friends
if you don't have a myspace music page please get one. I got an email from a French agent. A pretty well known French musician wants to record this on her next CD. She is on TV and radio in France.. I tell you this not for me, but to tell you that people do listen to myspace music. I only had 4 hits on the song but it was the right 4 hits. If you don't have one, make a myspace music page.
