Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.

I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…

Autumn leaves have all D gone

Sweet gentle song - nice.
Not everyone has a voice that so effortlessly conveys such depth live. Lovely.
I'm really digging the 'down home' vibe on this!
So sweet in it's apparent simplicity. Very difficult to pull off, you made it.
you guys are ready for the road....get out of the house and take this band on tour!!! :-) great song
Well ,I would love to show up "live". Ill mp3 as I can. Minnesota songwriter in Absence, says Nicely written and recorded. "Who Knew" We do, I do too. See you there.
Nice vibe, great chords, love it!!
Greg said this was live from the coffee table ? nicely done ! are you able to play locally in coffee houses? this would be wonderful.
This is beautiful. Nice work on this one Colleen! I'm amazed at the quality of recording from a small handheld recorder sitting on your coffee table.
Lovely song. Wow, clever lyrics. And I love the spare arrangement.
Very sweet!
Lovely!
You always come up with the best melodies and lyrics. I love the simplicity of this. The doubling of voice (W/Reverb) is a nice touch.
Proods love you....never go away!
Awesome. No one writes lyrics like you do Colleen! First class.
Very nice!
Thought I'd commented on this the other day....must be getting old....well written and enjoyed
