Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.

this doesn’t fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis’ RPM project but she didn’t have time to use it (her album is excellent btw) and then these lyrics arrived.
It’s my failsafe and as you might guess there is a story behind it.

This is beautiful, and sultry, and subtle, and I am now busy not-being-jealous!!

I really like the feel of this song. It hooks you and then reels you in.

Wow, this is stunning. Beautiful melancholy. Such a gentle, passionate feel on the mandolin, guitar and your vocal is breathtaking. Wow again. Love this.

i dont know how. but although i really liked it i didnt fully connect with the power of the emotion in this till this listen. im completely in love with it. i have regular regretful momments. this will be an ideal soundtrack when i need it out of my system

This is a very sweet song from singing to the melody and the guitar playing!

Failsafe of lovely.

I'm really glad you left this on your RPM album. I think it matches more than you were initially suggesting, in fact I love how it very gently nudges the outer border of the album towards something ethereal, while still being of the same voice.

Ooh this is purely lovely, great guitar playing!
