Nice uplifting feel to this - you were lucky to have your mom with you for so long.  I lost my parents when I was in my mid 20s - born late.  The older I get, the more I realize what a loss it was not getting to spend more time with them as an adult.

That's tough.  Sorry to hear that.  I guess, though, no matter how long they are around, it still feels like too soon when they are gone.

Indeed.  The best we can do is honor those who went before us.  Thanks for listening and the feedback!

So very true.  Thanks for listening and the kind words.

Sounds great.  I really like this one.

Nicely done.

Been working on something for my beautiful Ms. W. who left us in January, nothing quite seems to work yet.

My condolences for your loss.  It can be hard to find something that has the right tone.  I had three or four false starts before I landed on the final one that I felt captured what I was looking for.

Very nice. It will certainly be on of her legacies. 

Thank you.  I like to think so, too.

The song was excellent and the video was the icing on the cake.

Fantastic.  I love the combination of the percussion and other rhythmic elements with the sustained trumpet and keys.  The chord changes are excellent.

Jeff,
That's a beautiful and emotional tribute to your mother. I did the same for my mom a while ago and I get all blubbery when I listen to it now and then.  You might experience the same.
-Bjorn

I know what you mean.   I have a similar one that I did for my dad about six years ago when he passed and I still get a teary when I watch it now and then.

That was so much fun.

I don't know the original, but I can see why you couldn't get it out of your head.  It's a beautiful piece, and your version does it justice.  The combination of the acoustic guitar and your vocals is fantastic.

jeff

Excellent.  The opening riff really grabs you and never lets up.  That was a lot of fun.

jeff

Very nice.  It's clear it came straight from the heart.  Well done.

jeff

That really hit hard.  Excellent job.  I also enjoyed listening to Warren's comments.  Very interesting and thanks for sharing.

jeff

I thought it was great!  Really well done cover.  And the images in the video were the icing on the cake, really helping the lyrics hit home.

jeff

I really enjoyed that.  I loved the sound of the lap steel.

Hi Jeff

Really thought this was great 

well done

Nigel

 

Thanks, Nigel!  Much appreciated.

Love it.  I enjoyed both the song and the video.  The weird AI snake distortions really added to the overall effect.

jeff

Yes!  I love the combination of the arpeggio synth, the vocals, background ear candy, crackling noise, and movie dialog.  On point, and so good!

Jeff

Very cool song.  I'd agree with Nigel that there's a lot of high end, and I had to turn my headphones down to give it a listen, but I enjoyed the composition.

The intro really caught my attention.  I especially liked the dissonance of the opening synths.  The whole song was excellent and sounded professionally produced.  Really well done!

jeff

Excellent! That was super tight and rocked hard.  I really enjoyed it.

My mother passed away earlier this year. She was 95, and lived a hell of life.  She traveled all over the world, visiting every continent, had 13 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

This song is for her.  I tried to do my best to honor her.
