Great storytelling. Beautiful song!

[Rewsterutube]

Ruby, this is beautiful, words fail me.

[skylark51]

This is amazing - wish I could write such powerful lyrics. The simple guitar accompaniment is perfect with it. This should be heard by more people - 5*

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

"You walked with her ghost on your back and her heart in your shoes"

Goosebumps Ruby. This is astonishing. Damn YouTube didn't send it to me until today.

"You never felt right

As an unwitting knight to a hummingbird shot in flight

We were setup to lose

You walked with her ghost on your back and her heart in your shoes" -- OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to stop the song and really read that and take it in. There's something inside of you and I love seeing it in stanzas like that

[alexandraxxxxxx]

[hernameinlights]

Freakin Awesome....you never cease to amaze me. I am so proud of you (I hope that doesn't sound condescending - not meant to)

[mysticcynic]

Wow. Your bittersweet lyrics always blow me away. Vintage 2ruby202 to steal a word from Ron. Perfect vocals when you sing "friend's".

[dereknp81]

heartelt and super-awesome. unconventional choice of vocal melodies at the lines' end. thats' what i like :)

[fingercheese]

My Gawd Ruby...this is amazing...I feel as if you've opened up your closet and let us go rummaging through out your memories...these bittersweet memories of yours...brilliant Ruby...

[pjraddinmusic]

Lovely, nice phrasing..well put together..*****

[robby63]

I love how you connect the lyrics to the music. Each verse has a distinctive style showing different sides of this guy who played in a band. :)

I especially love the last lines, "I still walk past your house on the way to my friend's

I remember your place

But the name of your street doesn't make my heart skip a beat "

This is a masterfully crafted song, Ruby. I loved it and how you take us along with you on this trip down memory lane!

superb!

this is one of those songs that I occasionally hear on youtube that I secretly wish I had written :) although maybe not the bit about 'finding dresses I thought I'd thrown away'. that'd be odd. amazing song and lyrics. i think my new favourite of yours.

[jayrbee60]

My goodness, what a nice meaningful song. Very nice images. Well played, sung, and written!

[hoosierhiver]

Nice

[davemorag1]

Hi these are the best lyrics I have heard in a while. Deep and meaningful! Good job!

[tonygrimsley]

Simple and beautiful song. I love the honesty of your voice.

[Avellanenc]

Mmmm, well, I have to do a crash course to understand more and better English, because this song sounds beautiful! I would like to know roughly what fills you feeling lately, because I think you do songs about deep feelings, beautiful, typical of a situation where you either love or suffer for not being so, I know ... This song gave me feelings of when you are in love for the first time, can it be? Very beautiful.

[jugnutgut]

And you continue as one of the best lyricists I know.. I was going to mention my favorite line but Ron beat me to it :) wonderful stuff Ruby, well done

[russbuss415]

great lyrics Ruby! loved every second of it.

[UKISOCIETY]

SO so good. I want to cover it, but obviously can't.

I never wear florals - Only solid-colored dresses.

[temporarydive]

Cute, lovely little tune.

[marcie99]

extremely touchinggggggg song!!!!!!!!!!!

[lauraveltmanmusic]

I loved it Ruby, you are such a talented writer. beautiful as always! new favorite for sure!!! laura

[rhopen]

Hi Ruth, you write the most superb confessional songs of anyone on YT, and that is saying a lot because there are many great writers on YT. Like Josef, you have more great lines in a single song than most do in their repertoires. My favorite here is "You never felt right

As an unwitting knight to a hummingbird shot in flight

We were setup to lose

You walked with her ghost on your back and her heart in your shoes".....

Oh, and I looked for misspellings and did not see any... dammit! :o) -Ron

[dusstead]

Ruby, another one of yours in my favourites, once again i'm captivated by your lyrics, melody and vocals, top notch!!

I could listen to you all day, All the stars***** - Brian

[moondogg55]

Like "chuxtrux", I too found 'perfect poetry' in the 3rd stanza ....

"You never felt right

As an unwitting knight

to a hummingbird

shot in flight" ~ girl - the things you do, with what WERE just words, until the magic that is you, touches them .... Beautiful <3

[64thistles]

I could listen to this forever. We've all been on that street...

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Beautful Song.

ThankYou for Sharing your wonderful music with us.

David

[moondogg55]

This is very 'musical', Ruby - nice guitar movements. And with every song you write, you always seem to touch something buried deep in my psyche.

I love the music you create ~ ~ your poetry is beautiful! <3  *****

[stufish4040]

Fabulous lyric, Ruby. It has the ring of truth about it and reminds us of situations we've all lived-through at some time. Nice 0ne ! :] 5*****

[chuxtrux]

hello ruby. i immediately put this song into favorites because i will want to hear it more than once. i am really pleased to see such fine lyric writing here. "her ghost on your back and her heart in your shoes", wow, what a line, saying so much with so few words. and the last line of the song defines it all. i really think this is one of your best originals yet, such a fine way to start a rainy sunday morning in west virginia. thanks for posting this one, chuck

[deach69]

Beautiful song!  Beautiful singing!
