Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.

Inspiring and very moving song, Colleen. I have some friends who have been through this disturbing experience of gaslighting. I will get them to hear this song, and I know they will love it!

A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…

Heres a story of a cold cold house
They walk by
Trying as they do to catch a glimpse, of life inside the cold, cold house
But the dark of the windows only reflect themselves
Their enquiry is rejected
The house keeps its secrets to it’s self…
I can finally see through my eyes now
Everything is clear
Suddenly everything is back into focus
I have no fear
I can see you
you can see me
We can be one
I can feel you
you can touch me
We can be one

A song about a few characters I remember growing up in Portsmouth, UK. Sadly they all had Mental health problems, but 50 plus years ago no one really cared.
I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.
Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
much fun.
Olive this tune. I did like 3 versions of it. Just couldn't get enough.
I'm stalking your music. You've progressed so much since we collaborated.
Playing the Uke now? Awesome. I built one last year from a kit. I wanted to see if I was interested. I'm a learning boy :)
You did and it was great
First class song , a Big ' Well Done ' to all who stand up to Bullies .......
Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.
Another beautiful, meaningful song. Colleen. Love you much? Mom

I'D like to do a bluegrass version.
Great song! I downloaded to my music collections. I'll probably sing it once in a while. Thanks, JOHN BENNETT
Humans may not be good but you and Mark are good company! That was a fun afternoon.
Just wow!
A wonderful evening with Colleen and friends. Cool collabs. I'm enjoying your trax. Hi Greg.
Could this be why she left me after 29 years? I never saw it like this.
Wonderful lyrics, sad but definitely relatable.
