I enjoyed listening. The voice and the keyboards really stand out in the tune. I like it because you said this was a song for your wife! Hey, we are talking Valentines Day. For the record, Valentines Days has really sucked for me the last 10 years. Can you song make me feel good about love? Can your song make me feel better deep inside my heart and soul? I am a listener, not a judge.

I dig the Beatles influence in this song. Your lyrics are balanced. It is almost too pretty for me but your mood and your sound pulls me into this tune. "Imagine" by Lennon, thats what the keyboards remind me of.

This is a great song. Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart through this song.

This is a ballad of lost love, boy can I relate. This song is romantic. It is just right for Valentines day. The vocals, guitar and etc. are perfectly balanced. Okay, first this song was a little "Who" sounding, then I heard a little "Nickel Creek" vocals maybe. If I were to say what I thought it sounded like this song it would be the group
"Bourguis Tagg" produced by Todd Rundgren. This song really touches the depth of my heart and soul. The harmonies are excellent. This melody seems to hold me. The lead is awesome too. I hear an acoustic guitar and I like it! Your lyrics could be a little stronger, but over all I love this song. Your song is the kind of song I would like to listen to over again.
Thanks for sharing the sounds of your heart.

This song has a very clean sound. I love it. It reminds me of James Taylor. Your vocals are great. Maybe you should add a little reverb to the vocals... Your words are dreamy the way I like it. Your song reaches me. Although the words are predictable, I really dig this song. It makes me feel comfort and takes my mind off of my troubles. Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart.

I like the guitar lead in this song. I love the beat of the drums. It reminds me of U2 and that is great. I love your vocals as always you win my heart over in your songs. Your harmonies are strong and passionate! Your bridge is extremely moody the way I like it! The lyrics are perfect. I really don't know how I could add to this song; it is complete, but maybe a little bit too long for radio play, which is about 3:30 minutes a song.
Thank you again for sharing the sounds of your heart.

I Should Be Coming Home to You

Bobbio, this song is totally awesome. "I Should Be Coming Home"...perfect Valentine's Day song. It is something different and that is what makes it appealing to me. This has great recording value to it. Your chord progessions are beautiful as well. This song totally touched my heart. It is "Heart Music" for sure!
It is sad and lonely, the way I see things today in my own music.
You song touched the depths of my heart and soul.You are painting a picture of your affections and Valentine's Day. Great job! Great song! Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart.

Jens, I totally love your song. I wish I could speak and understand Danish, but I can't. I can feel your song deep inside. I really dig your chords and love the lyrics. This would make a great lounge song, you know...in a beautiful place just you and your piano playing to an audience of class.
Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart!

I can't get my computers to cooperate. I can not listen to your sounds. So I will comment on your lyrics, after all I love poetry. You words crave into my heart. I feel these words and relate. I love the message you are conveying.
Thank you for sharing the "words" of your heart.
"Who, When and Where"..a great title for your song! A Valentine's song for sure.
--------------------
Thanks to Christina, I got to listen to your song. It is amazing how much I could feel your song through words only.
After listening to your song, I would like to compliment you on your guitar playing. It is dreamy and moody. This song has a unique sound. Your vocals are just right, they fit the lyrics.
This is a searching for love song and I enjoyed the search through your song. Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart.

Unfortunately, I can't get my computers to play your song. I will have to judge on the content of your lyrics. I love poetry and this one is great. Lubrication..lol....I love it. You love someone that is in a relationship with an other and that love brushes against your heart every now and then. I can relate to this song. You want to speak out the sounds of your heart and you do. I would so totally love to "hear" the harp in this one.
Great lyrics that touch this tattered heart of mine that has been scarred and burned, but I am hopeful for full recovery!...Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart. Your lyrics touch my heart and soothe me deep inside.

Again, thanks to Christina for sending me a link so I could listen to your song. :-)
Okay, I dig the Bob Dylan "thang" you got going on.
Your fingerpicking style is much like I play. The harp is
perfect for this style of song! I would love to sit around a campfire at night and play along with you on my guitar or octave mandolin. It has a folk and country feel to it. Lubrication, please explain that to me? :-) I enjoyed the upbeat sound to your song too. Your lyrics fit the mood of your tune. Great job! Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart!

Dave C, I loved your song very much. All these songs are buttering me up for Valentine's day...although I don't like Valentines Day, if you read my poem about this day you would understand.
"It's Just Another Day to Me"..
