Ah... Glad I thought to come looking for this track again!... I thought you might like to hear my song with the same name (about one of my former students / piano players... who very much likes your music, by the way).

thought,, id try doing something for valentines day so i chose two Beatles tunes,, amazingly (or not) i found them very difficult for me to personalize, ,,hope all you lovers have a good day and enjoy
Yes Twirretwarre, "Time in between for silence and no hurry" Very well put, my lady. And very well done Richard. To be complimented on my composition by you, is high praise indeed! Excellent job, sir! Beautiful, beautiful music. Thanks for your kind words brother, Dave

Ah this is such a relaxing tune, you take the time in between for silence and no hurry.
Like this Valentine song very much!

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

Bravo Friend! a beautiful story, a wonderful song... i still remember the day 24 years ago, when i brought my wife and son, home from the hospital,(i had been there of course) but as much as i didn't expect it,, i remember crying in happiness,,,as we stopped in the driveway and i held him, it can be a bit overwhelming,, good luck on sleep,,, nice work here richard
LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard

oh ya,,,,,about 3 seconds into this your playing alone, had won my heart, this is,,, something i must listen to... right away again,(and i don't usually do this), the music/play/arrangement is brilliant.. and the lyrics are poetry that goes right to heart,, (on the level of a P Simon or J Mitchell, in my view),, most wonderful! congrats two both r

i agree with williew,, the less you use,,(man and guitar) the harder it is to pull off,,, and indeed you do it here! i love the quiet understated , personal, right with you feel of this... and that's not even speaking of the lyrics,,, simply put "to die for",, beautiful, you have made my sunday eve,, quite magical,,, r
A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard
