I'm glad you like this one so much, Tess. I actually wrote it for a friend of mine (a terrific girl) who'll be getting married next summer. I only see her once a year at her brother-in-law's Labor Day weekend party, and when I heard she was engaged, this song just came out... The sentiment could apply to any young girl, however... "You'll always be this young if love comes first and you stay filled with life."

This is so beautiful...*deep sigh*

Just going through February's RPM Challenge songs... Upped the volume on the vocals a bit (hopefully not too much).

Great song about your doggy - Love the slide too.

great song!!

Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.

I love my dogs. all 3. :)

good one fellas. nice slide guitar too.

Hey, cool collab, the slide guitar does sound excellent. The whole thing sounds great.

Booty job.

fantastic, mans best friend indeed. Big ol' shepard mix, yeah, I had one of those kind once, called him Max, your song is bringing memories to my mind. Thanks for this.

Any song about Dr.Who is alright in my books. This is a really great song, nicely recorded.

Now That's a great song! Nice collab guys!

beautiful song. and lucky Bandit: he who writes such music can't be a bad man..

Good one guys.

That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!

What a great song. Love the slide guitar too.

Oh yeah, MIGHTY collab, fellas!

superb work here man. Cool accent too. Guitar progressions and slides are *PERFECT*. Flows like a river...

Big thanks to Kavin for making this song more than I could have possibly imagined with his incredible slide guitar.

Happy New Year, Tharek! Hey, great track, this one (although I've come to expect good stuff from you on a regular basis). So glad to be the first to come by and hear, comment on, and fave this song!

Faved at 0:08... Enough said.

Damn, Colin. This album really is outstanding... With respect to your commentary on this song, I have my share of re-tweaked songs that I am now utterly unable to play as well... But none of them are this good.

Oh great track right from the start, Colin! Faved at about 0:30. Love the dialed back vocals... Not that the regular explosive vocals aren't great as well, but what a terrific change of pace! Great choice for an album title as well... Many a independent film would benefit from this song on their soundtracks.

...And just back again to listen to this perfectly arranged and performed nugget.

Colin, this newest batch of songs you're posting are just outstanding, particularly regarding your vocals... Just great without a note out of place. My daily dose of new Colin has been and will continue to be a welcome distraction from the day.

Man, just listened to this over on your RPM post... And once again I reiterate... Damn.

Very cool... Great to listen to while grading these algebra quizzes!

Great track! Great rich sound.

Great sound! Peter, this latest batch of uploads is just outstanding.

Even better as it goes along.

Yup, great right from the start.

Faved at 0:05. Love the singing in the slightly lower register. This song has the sound of true authenticity. Just an outstanding track!

Faved at 0:30. I guess I'm partial to the minimalist arrangements... It really allows the listener to hear those outstanding harmonies!

Excellent stripped down track, Peter! Outstanding vocals and rich acoustic tones on that guitar (I'd love to know how you get such a clean sound on that six string).

Great opening line! Faved at sh*t. Great sound on this one, Peter! As always, when I listen to your music I am extremely envious of your masterful arrangements!

Wow... This is sick.

Holy crap!!! Too cool! Ha... The sleigh bells just kicked in! How much time did you spend on this?!?!... And the laughing. Great interpretation of Osckilo's beautiful arrangement.

Tharek's guitar work on this is truly magnificent!

Faved at 0:12. Great track right from the start.
