indeed, the singing sounds like something from split enz or crowded house.

sounds like a top-flight composition/recording/mix.

Pure. Honest. Lovely. Fantastic.

I havent seen Watto around hear at KVR lately.
Sometimes he posts something on his facebook account.
One of the most talented KVR oldtimers.

Wow, very cool ! I agree with all the enthusiasm about it: the singing is beautiful and the piano is perfectly arranged for it
Nicely done

Cheers

Thanks, everyone - I'm particularly chuffed by the Finn references, as Neil Finn is probably my favourite singer ever

ouroboros, fantastic lyrics, mate! bluedad, beautiful composition. All I did was play and sing it

I love the simplicity that runs throughout this excellent and appealing song.

I could connect immediately.

I love the Hope that the melody conveys - despite the contrasting sadness of Ouroboros' lyric.

Neat bit of piano playing too. It sounds miles better for being "simple" piano played well, then "clever" piano played less well.

Well done, bluedad, for pulling it all together - for working with what you had - and making such a good fist of it.

And Watto - you have a gift.

I'll hold back on the maudlin and pathos, plenty enough expressed already.

I did want to compliment Gary on a well written tune though.
Although, I don't see the problem you encountered constructing a supportive arrangement for it. I feel it's asking for it. It would fit right into a thumping, building rock ballad in my opinion. But that was the past, and that's that.

Nice to hear this again, thanks mate

So this is your vocal? wonderful whoevers it is! I read the orginal post and I am too stupid to figure it out. Brilliant lyrics.

Lovely piano playing, wish I could play better

This is what I sent bluedad, so it's all me. Dodgy bass playing and all!

My wife heard this future the first time thanks to this thread, and loves it - great song, bluedad and ouroboros!

thanks Barry.
You're right, there's a lot could be done with it, you called me on it.
I think I was a bit intimidated and didn't think I had the chops to pull it off.
Plus I'm a lazy git.
