Cheaper to buy washed clothes at the thrifty store than to wash his clothes? Surely they have caught on by the third or fourth time he trades his clothes? Love the short, to the point, songs you write.

LOVE this. I first listened while finishing work earlier, back then I mainly noticed your signature lush backing vocals on the chorus (bit loud on this one maybe?). But when I listened again in comfort, able to concentrate... woah, gorgeous song.

I guess I forgot to hit 'post comment'. What I said was...WOW! I love this song! I love the hesitation after down for shelter/echoes of the pictures/where you are...I love the chordings and the harmonies. Seriously, I love this song!!

I don't think I've ever heard you with this tempo. Everything is right-on! Did you do all the parts as you usually do? If so, I didn't know you played electric lead like that & the organ so so well!! My ears thank you. Thanks.

The drum and keys track was on a CD sent to me and composed and performed by a friend, Don Landry. Instantly I wanted to put voices with it, so I did. Don likes it. Mission accomplished. (c) 2009 Royal T Music
