Neat tune! It reminds me of a Leonard Cohen/Roger Waters kind of thing. There was also a band a number of years back called King Swamp that this REALLY reminds me of.

Thanks for the explanation. It is a beautiful song, and also very sad. And yet, there is something in it that sounds like the need to keep going, regrets and all. Nice work! (If you want to hear a song with a similar theme, check out Droodle's song, "Jesus Bun")

So this is about a friend? I thought it was to a child, from a parent who was far away. It's very touching.

Great tune! I like the way you write. Thanks for your post, I do not know phil marshall, maybe you could hip me to him. If you get to Newport, look up Bob Madden, great drummer! He would dig you songs too!

Nice n mellow. Reminds me a bit of Fred Eaglesmith's more laid back stuff (check out his cd Milly's Cafe - I think you'll like it)
