Hi Ron, this once´s also a very nice song to stand the cold temperatures outside,haha. There´s no single tune you´ve written I wouldn´t like. Always good ideas and nice little surprises. I said it already, here´s a great chorus, a hit!!! Thanx, see you, Frank
(Have you heard Paul´s new album - American Songbook by a British Beatle;-)))
Ron, this is AMAZING! I really admire your musicianship. That's one thing that's always stood out about you. You're definitely one of the best musicians on Youtube, just perfect in every way. And you write some dang good songs too! Love the production this one too. Putting this on my favorites list. :) Janet
@onewomanandsomesongs Thank you very Janet, I appreciate you kind words. I hope your 2012 is off to a good start. Maybe the Mayans were just joking, I hope so anyway :o) Talk again soon. -Ron
Nice to know I can still be feeling romantic like this in a decade or so Ron. Life affirming. I like the bridge which is reminiscent stylistically of the middle eight you put into Come Down To Earth. You can take the country boy out of the prog but you can't take the prog out of the country boy.
@CurtisMateer Hey Pete, thanks for stopping by on this one. Yea, I think we all have things in our music that tend for come back up in different ways, I think that is inevitable in fact. I hope things are good for you these days. I'll be talking to you again soon. -Ron
I've always been a sound person first and later on I might take interest in the lyrics. This song has a great sound. Lots of great instrumentation. Well done.
Oh, and the lyrics are good too! The chorus has a good hook and I can sing along now!
Beautiful song Ron beautifully sung and performed my friend I loved the sound of that ukulele you were playing that was great my friend thank you from Phil .
Beautifully written, performed, and produced, Ron. You are amazingly skillful, my friend. Also, a great looking and sounding uke you have there. 5*****'s (of course!).
Hi Ron, back for another listen... today I listen without headphones and now I even notice your fingersnaps.Ok, I need better headphones or a date at the eardoctor´s :-) I really love the instrumentation of the song.
Hey, we are a new show on youtube, promoting the best unsigned talent. Check out Episode 2 at 1TNTTV and get involved.... its fast becoming the popular way to get your music heard on youtube.
You make the strings sound so good and the instruments so easy to play. Another beauty Ron. Great melody and smart lyrics...you bring a lot of intelligence to my circle of friends...excellent tune my friend.
Wonderful and lovely - everybody has said it already, Ron. This is such a charming song and production - really liked all the subtle percussive things going on, and the uke and the piano - well everything, really. I enjoyed it very much! 8o)
Those arpeggios on the piano are great, I was a little sad when they dropped off in the verse. I actually wish you had added one more slowly played arp at the end when you were accentuating the chords on the piano.
Great lyrics, Ron. I always dig well written songs about songs. ;-)
Your classical side popped out with that bridge, well done.
Hello Justin, I hope you had a good holiday season, it is great to hear from you. Yes, I thought of doing exactly as you suggest for the verses. I have a tendency to overdo the piano parts though, so I left it as it was there. I wish you a great New Year Justin, and I will be looking forward to hearing a lot more of your work this year. -Ron
Another outstanding original, Ron! Beautiful! I keep saying that I have to get a Uke one of these days! Love the sound! I truly enjoy your music! <3 Babs
@RobJamesPaynter Hi Rob, yes that is an ovation which is really meant for live performance (it has a plug-in), but It sounds very good as just an acoustic as well. -Ron
is that the tenor uke youre holding? I like it, looks good, almost like a mandolin. My uke feels so small to hold, i always struggle with it. This one, i wanna have!!!
@breedenburgh Hello Louise, thank you and may I suggest you try a tenor uke because they have bigger bodies than the standard ones and are easier to manage. I also have a baritone uke which is bigger still, but it doesn't have the charm of the smaller ukes. Enjoyed that great jazzy song you and Bob just did, especially your washboard playing :o) Talk again soon. -Ron
Ron, everytime I find a new upload of yours I know that it will be something very good. This song here is even better than very good. I totally agree Karl, when he says John & Paul couldn't have done it any better. The melody, the tasteful piano in the background, that "Smile"- like percussion... just great. How you lead over to the 3/4 bridge is just genial. And finally... I looove your tenor uke! I must try if my uke still plays :-)
Very nice greetings from your German friend and fan
@TanteA Hi Anette, thank you for your very kind commet, and I love your uke playing very much so I hope you will make friend with her again :o) We can do a uke collab sometime, ok? :o) Your USA friend, -Ron
A Ron-production is always (!) a highlight for me! Great chorus, hookline, and nice instrumentation my friend! You´re a good song-writer - can´t say it enough.
What a great song, Ron! You are so talented, my friend!! A true master of various instruments! I am already looking forward to your next post. Take care...Wolfgang
Hey Ron, What a treat! - a wonderful composition, a magical sound. Love the instrumentation (you always have cool instruments I didn't know existed) . The song has a message that's classic yet freshly presented and I found my thoughts getting phase-locked with your uplifting theme. The 3/4 bridge worked amazingly. John & Paul couldn't have done it any better. Just excellent, my friend, gotta hear it again. All the best Karl
Real beautiful song my friend;-) I always feel like stopping to post video here...But that's what we musicians do, we sing song for all to hear and enjoy;-)
Great song Ron really nice. I love the way you use various instruments to set mood of your songs. On my last track I played a tenor and descant recorder alongside an Ocarina. The sound I got amazed me .
This is really lovely, Ron, & I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Clever, individualistic, melodic & a bit 'Beatley', but also instantly identifiable as a rhopen production. What a lovely listen on a sunny winter's afternoon! Full of hope, optimism, and a genuine enjoyment of music :] 5*****
Wow, es klingt fantastisch, ein soo schöner Klang und ein wunderschöner Song, vielen Dank !
