I, like you, use to do electric guitar in my HS years, but also migrated to acoustic. Is that progress? I think so -- this song here would be much less effective if juiced up with distortion and wah wah and the other toys of our youth. This song is hard core as it is, and needs no electricity to get its message across.

How purty!

I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.

VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!

I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)

Those Monkeys are buggers you know!!

Thanks Bethan for adding the *SPARKLE*

If you ever make a "Best of Greg Connor" playlist on AloneTone (and I think you should), be sure to add these: With or Without You Cherry Pie w/Bethan Mathis Words Night Be the Weapon TV Dinner Listening to the Wind Greasy Spoon Shadow and Light Idea Man Farmer's Market

Very nice!

Quite an exceptional job, both in songwriting and in recording.

Such gorgeous picking, and awesome vocals, and as I said below from my Merry Bear account, fabulous lyrics. It's an overall brilliant composition. You really have reached a higher level, and you were up there to begin with. <3 <3 <3

Great sound and lyrics Greg. Nicely done.

I don't think Ronny Crème Cheese knows how to favor a tune: look for the heart, then right click. try it you will like it.

You've been taking your songwriting craft to another level of late! Fabulous lyrics. A very pleasant, tasteful mix down. Rich sound.

"Throwing your feces straight at me" wish I would have written that!!! more outstanding writing from you Greg...this one and the last one are some of you best work...great great great....

Touching Song.

Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference. I once read a book about difficult people, but he tore it up and tossed it out. The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars

Did you write this while you were out partying until 4:00 AM on New Years? I think I could learn a lot from you!

I like the sound of that acoustic guitar with an open sounding tune complimented by the harmony. Very nice.

Absolutely beautiful.

What a great slippery feel. You nailed it guys!

Nice music, and I really like the way you started out .

Perfectly Sparse

First time through, WOW, that is beautiful. Second time through, I'm just amazed. You have captured that lonesome emotion that washes into the feeling of something bigger than us. The drone supporting the whistle compliments perfectly. Third time through ... even better.

Interesting sound that you have created.

Interesting tone on your guitar, and intriguing playing style. It's very captivating.

This is beautiful!

Well ... I have even more appreciation for the piece now that I know what you are up to. I think it's exceptional.

I like it. It reminds me of Aaron Copland. I can see using something like this behind a video, or a mood setter in a collection of musical pieces.

Interesting story and totally unexpected, at least for me.

Great combination of sounds, especially Guitar / Organ.

I laughing out loud, nothing better than a "feel good" song. Go ... ELVIS ... GO

Nice full sound and it floats along just like a leaf on the water. The lead guitar sound is to die for.

I love the build up in this song, and the distorted lead guitar.

Interesting effect in there. I like the simple straight forward approach.

I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own. As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY

Reminds me of my hero Paul Simon. Great lyrics and the music is intriguing.
