My all-time favorite of your songs (and that is saying a lot, I love every one of them). I'm listening to this on Easter Sunday. The lyric that really grabs me is, "If God felt a hammer in the palm of his hand, then God knows the way we feel." Exquisite!

Thanks for this song. It got me through some dark times. I heard it first with Lui Collins. We don't like to deal with existential truths about life.

Could you add Thanksgiving Eve? It has kept me going through so many tough times--I would love to be able to share it.

I've known David Wilcox's cover for many years, and it's quite moving to hear Bob Franke's original.
Not forever, but for real...
(not the fantasy version, but the real version...with its ups and downs, highs and lows...and you come back to what's real over and over)

Articulate, musical, emotionally honest, unpretentious, and in a suit! Lovely, lovely, thank you, Bob.

The very essence of songwriting! The first words of this song constitute a complete essay! So much description, scene-setting, and emotional engagement ... masterly verbal economy! The finest example I have ever heard. Were there one word to sum up Bob's message: "transience". It comes at us with such integrity, power and meaning. Even a "timeless transience", could one be excused a contradiction. The fleeting nature of the human condition. In the very act experiencing, one is spent!
