Wow that piano sounds great. There's somthing about a piano that sounds and is played just right. You really have that extra somthing as an artist this is a great track. In my opinion.

This piece is probably too beautiful for words... The lyrics are so moving...and they are presented with an authenticity and soulfullness that is impossible to resist. Full of heart and soul, and performed to perfection... Ahhh...may you be full of peace... :-)

Oh yeah,thsi is top notch vocal work. Brian did a grand job of harmonising,perfect contrast to the main vocal. Once again,the song writing is flawless,beautifuly played and aranged,topped off nicely by some excellent lyrics. Like Lex said,yes,this deserves radio airplay. It "Feels" like a scene from a play.... A viginette.... Anyways,excellent all round. Greatly enjoyed. Nigel.

This is one of those songs that would be deemed "too long for radio play," and that's why radio is in its current dismal state. BEAUTIFUL all around. You found a winner with Sarah White, and you hit the daily double when you brought on Brian Ralston. Absolutely gorgeous work!

Carol Douglas (26 Apr 2008 08:47 AM)
Thank you Mags, Alexis and Blake, but so sorry I forgot to mention that the lovely female vocals aren'r mine, but a girl called Sarah White. I'd actually love to have a voice like Sarah's! Brian, well what can I say? The song always sounded nice I guess, but for years was missing something to complete it. The addition of your lovely harmonies were the missing key, and they were very sensitively done. (what a shame it was only the basic song with Sarah which was played at my daughter's wedding, but they enjoyed it) Can't thank you enough.... I hope you enjoyed the recent wedding over there and yes, it was lovely to meet you as well in Sydney. (the only people I've met in person are yourself, Will in Dallas, and Dawn Diamond who came down from Scotland) The girls and James are all fine and send you best wishes. (when it's done, I REALLY look forward to hearing the funny co-write you're doing with me about the workman in the bank!) Cheers, Carol.x

Hi Carol, Didn't realise you had posted this here. This was one of the most enjoyable collabs I've been involved in. I knew the background to the song, which I loved the first time I'd heard it. I got to meet the "bride and groom" and the writer in person in Sydney. And I got to "duet" with a sensational female singer. When I first heard this track on mixposure I wanted to do a duet on it. I am a big fan of Jack Bruce, the bass player and vocalist from, amongst other projects, Cream. He did a duet with a singer whose name I can't recall (I think it's Maggie.....forgive me a senior's moment) called "Ships in the Night" in the 80s. This song really brought that song to mind. I remember thinking when I first heard "Ships in the Night" that Jack, who was never averse to getting into a blue with Ginger Baker, was really deferring to a female vocalist who obviously touched him. The song was not his niche genre and he seemed to enjoy taking a bit of a back step to let his fellow vocalist shine. I hope I showed the same deference here. A beautiful song. Ironically, I've found it here tonight, having travelled 5 hours to watch my son perform "best man" duties at a wedding. It was a lovely ceremony but I'm now thinking....should have offered them this song. Carol is a great friend, and so far, the only member of an OMD site that I'm on that I've met in person. It was a great honour to be part of this beautiful track. Cheers Brian

Well, it's really apparent you've got alot inside you and it's just beautiful to hear some of those things. Terrific words, harmony, song..wow. Your voice with Brian's is just awesome. I too love his voice and now I believe this is the first I've heard yours Carol. Wow! Nice powerful stuff...and this surely would fit so well into a musical...exactly as is. ~Blake

Gorgeous. Powerful. Nice. I read the "about" description, but have to say this would make a great contemporary Christian tune that be interpreted as a praise tune, or a very personal love song. Super ...

You couldn't have found a better vocalist for this tune - or for any tune - than Maria Daines, one of my all-time favorites. I like the almost humorous lyrical tightrope walk between sexy and cerebral - it serves the song well. Keep 'em comin'!

Hello Carol, today I was listening this song (with enough time and full of concentration) and I have to say: Wonderful. Maria has sung so great (like always, I am a fan of her). It is a pleasure to listen to her vocals and the melody with all instruments. I will go to the other songs too ... not today or tomorrow, but next days. Inge

Damn'..this is excellent !! I always check out instrumentation first,so bare with me. Great piano,brass,strings,bass and drum backing tracks ,exceptional tightness and professional work happening here.A very definitive sounding song,with a mass appeal and outstanding arrangement and thoughtful production............. Vocals...........Well, I'm tantilized,hypnotized and totally embraced by the smile,your sexy eyes......then you lay that wonderful voice on me and I'm hard pressed to ask for more... Needless to say,,,, I liked it !! Thanks, Larry T................

like the lyrics carol.. lot's of verb on the vox i think nigel.. the overall song sounds nice.. i like the bass line and sound.. i like the breaks in the middle the best.. is that the bridge i guess.. there where the vox gets real loud.. yeah lots of changes in the middle.. really contrast with the opening simplicity.. well constructed then we'd just have to say.. very good collab.. cheers..

What a cool sounding production......I wasn't sure what it was at first, but Nigel pegged it.....the Vocal fx. WOW!! The effects that production can have is awesome!!!! The song is very well written and arranged.I loved the catchiness of the whole song. EXCELLENT JOB!! and THANKS for this DL....it'll be MUCH enjoyed :-) Rob

Very unusual fx on the main vocal... Can't quite pin down what that is.... Beautiful melody... Very nice arangement indeed. The backing vocals are also top notch. Excellent lyrics,but of course,I expected that :) Very powerful song indeed. Evan has a great range. Very enjoyable indeed :) Nigel.

richj (04 Apr 2008 10:10 AM)
Really loved the melody and chord structure of the main themes. Nice smooth vocals. Thought the middle section was a little too long and the changes in dynamic of the drum beats occasionally hindered the flow of the track. These points are minor though. lovely track.

Thanks Margot, Pascal and Rapster. Yes it truly was written by me Rapster. When young, I used to sing a song in shows and maybe that explains it??? "Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier" LOL! Thanks again. Carol.x

now I love this down home fiddle style blues.. a famous one at that.. meloncholy baby.. but you got your own take on it and I dig it.. did you really write this? then you must be famous.. what's your real name then?.. lol.. I don't doubt you carol.. it just sounds absolutely too familiar to not wonder if this might have been a cover version.. in any case a top notch song that should be a hit in any country/blues/trad jazz circles.. cheers..

Carol Douglas and Paul Jeffrey - I love the works of you both so much, and listening to Paul singing on of your songs is something special to me... Carol, you belong to the rare artists in the tradition of the Alan Parsons Project, looking for the right singers for your songs. And your skills and ways to express your messages is possibly high above all others... another proof with this perfectly performed & produced rock pop song. I love it! Downloaded & added to my faves! Happy Easter, Pascal

What absolutely lovely comments on this song with Matt. Again, I loved his songs, his voice and style, wrote some lyrics with him in mind, and asked if he'd look at them. It's one which I'm especially proud of because like you said Nigel, it is quite contemporary....all truly down to Matt of course. Thanks a million to all. Carol.x

Yes,touches or tones fo Floyd. Co-incidently I have my pink floyd t-shirt on today LOL... Well still no joy as far as singing goes,so I can only sit and listen and admire the vocal talents Matt. Apart from the floyd,elements,there is also a VERY modern feel to this.. Many of the newest bands are making music like this and selling it by the shipload. So yeah,the best of both. Excellent lyrics as always,and an excellent take on them. Nigel.

I have heard alot about you on the net Carol. Although, I never ventured to have a listen. So here I am to hear what all the hype is about... I see it's no hype. You can sing! And quite a lovely voice at that. No frills, no vocal acrobatics... Simply singing from the heart and apparently your heart runs deep! You have a theatrical voice as well as ballad. You should do a duet with Henry Tarnecky. Now that would exciting to hear... Carol, the pleasure has been all mine my dear!

a lovely classicalintro sounding at first very russian.. the genre descrition is right on carol.. this would fit right in with a lloyd webber style musical.. sarah has exactly the right voice and stage delivery to make a live rendition readily imaginable.. the lyrics are very tangible yet sophisticated.. literary.. again perfectly matched to a libretto style of composition and performance.. thanks for the intelligent musical concept and execution..

Hey Carol, glad to see you giving those vocal chords an outing. You've done a lovely job on this. I agree with Dave that your voice suits this track beautifully. And it was nice to hear Will coming in and lending a hand in the harmonies towards the end. I love the concept of this idea and am planning to get on board myself. Looks like I'll be busy in the studio next week. Great work Brian
