Reminds me of a few early John and Paul collaborations -- a bit of psychedelic seasoning, an intriguing flow, a bridge that's like a whole other song. Brilliant! Great job!

In the future, they should teach this to elementary students they way they teach Stephen Foster songs in school today. It's brand new but I'm already wanting to label it a classic!

You don't have to worry

He never will desert me
no matter what I do
So, wonāt you come to Jesus

WRITERāS BLOCK
I went out to the stockyards last night. I donāt get out much but I had an invite.
My buddy, Guthrie Kennard was playing.
The place was full. The band was tight. Whitney Raquel opened the night
And the kids from the 2500 Club…
I doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song.

Where has everybody gone

Cool song, and concept, I may take a shot at it.
I know you had fun doing this one. Real creative.

cool stuff! You always have the best lyrics!!!
Interesting bridge. I didn't expect that. You know how to keep the listener's attention.
The music expresses your pain better than any words alone could. I feel your hurt now. Damn, man -- ouch!
I just read the lyrics, and I'm commenting before I hear the music to say, wow, you really have a gift with words.
Like it
I like this...sounds like 'america'. very mellow, chilling guitars. top class voice.
Wow!!! This song really just hit me. So poignant. It makes my heart just ache. Amazing song. Thanks !!!
Very unique! Nice harmonies and unusual presentationv. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
Buddy Holly meets Bobby Fuller 4 meets Doug Sham ...Really like this one
Fantastic guitar ...ry cooder got nothing on you my friend...imagine me getting choked up over a couch? yr there
Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
Great mix love it
How are you producing the percussion sounds? I dig the distance and echo of it. This is a fabulous production -- I'm listening for the third time as I type this.
A bit like Bob Dylan, a bit like Neil Young -- more Bob than Neil -- but the lyrics are really brilliant. Awesome performance. ROCK ON!
Writers Block , I think I just walked one! Ha terrific what a line
It's a gospel to me. You have a real good way with lyrics JMT, nice pickin' too
