And We'd Ride (original song)

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Dan.

I really like the things you're writing, as well.

Take care, my friend.

[dankoch2010]

Really good song. I like the arrangement and all of the vocals.

[AllenandHammond]

this is excellent!!

[TomMeirose]

@AllenandHammond

Thanks for giving it a listen, my friend.

You've got some very good stuff going on, too.

[bulbheadmyass]

What a beautiful song and performed magnificently. The harmonies are delicious.

[Cameragirl803]

This was so nice to start the day out with today! Beautifully written and performed! You guys blended really well together on the harmonies too! *****

[TomMeirose]

@Cameragirl803

Judy, it was so good of you to stop by.

And thank you so much for such a nice comment.

[guruofpiano]

Great song my friend, the recording quality is excellent. Very talented. Cheers G,

[TomMeirose]

@guruofpiano

Coming from someone who shines on the ivory as much as you do, that is praise indeed.

Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend.

[gherkamum]

[TomMeirose]

@gherkamum Terry, thanks for stopping by.

It's an honor to hear from someone so talented.

[SalvatoreManalo]

This is a beautiful song.

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much, my friend.

Keep on.

[88VUVU]

What?

[rhopen]

Hey Tom. How you doing? Just stopped in to say hello and to hear this one again... who that is that jackass on the bass? oh that was me, haha. It was pristine recording we did there wasn't it. You and Jack need put up some more songs. You are missed on here. Talk to you later. -Ron

[TomMeirose]

Hi Ron. I tell ya, I'll stick by what we did here, my friend.

I'll get back in there after a while.

[obdami]

This song blows.  If I were your Son, I'd kick your ass for writing such a gay ass song.

[JanVernerC]

Man, I'm impressed. Don't change anything!

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Jan. Coming from you it means a great deal.

[lindapinda]

Just thinking about you Tom, so I thought I might pop in for another listen :)

[TomMeirose]

Jack! It's so good to hear from you.

To be able call so many extraordinarily talented people "friend" is such a blessing to me.

And your light, my friend, has always burned brightly in that wondrous canopy.

[stufish4040]

Well . .I loved that, Tom, just the right length. It was nice to see 'ravel' in a lyric. On the S.W. coast of the U.K. the fisherman use the term to descibe the sort of choppy sea which is best to net-fish for bass.

Sweet refrain, too. I could imagine I was in my local folk club, with some local boys giving it their all, between several beers. Nice one! 5* _STu-

[SongwriterCentral]

Great song...loved it!!! You have alot of talent! Saved to favorites ~ Eric

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Eric.

I love your channel, BTW. I encourage everyone to check it out.

[dannyknapp]

oh no, I think I'm going to be sick. this is a songwriter's nightmare.

[dannyknapp]

what I mean by that is I think I inadvertantly ripped off a fundamental line of your song. goddammit, between this and losthill's 'Sister Maria' and Townes 'The Rake' I pretty much ripped off my whole song. I'm going to puke now.

[TomMeirose]

LOL No need to, my friend. I once thought I had a great one going until I realized I'd ripped off the entire melody to Dylan's, "When I Paint My Masterpiece"...note for note. And the idea for the lyric was similar, too. Can you imagine the gall of thinking I could write something like that?

The subconscious mind is a real nut-cracker every now and then. :)

[rhopen]

Well I still like it :o) -Ron

[TomMeirose]

Yea, me too, pard. I think it just runs too long. But I think I might have fixed that.

We just might have to go again...if you can stand it. lol

[thewintersessions]

this song always makes me think of my dad =D

[TomMeirose]

With the way your Dad plays, that can't be a bad thing, Winter. Thanks for stopping by, my friend.

[robby63]

gorgeous song! I really like what you've written here, added to my faves ;) Robby

[TomMeirose]

Robby, thanks so much. I admire your taste and your insight, and for you to have taken the time means a lot. But I've got to give credit where credit is due; Ron's harmony and bass line play a huge part in how the song ultimately sounds. He's such a talented man, and a heck of a nice guy, too.

Take good care,

-Tom

[glenncelliott]

Cool song Tom, great work guys

glenn

[TomMeirose]

Thank you, my friend. It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

My computer crashed, so I've been gone for a bit. But I'm looking forward to hearing what Bonnie Blue has been up to.

[rhopen]

It still sounds great to me Tom. I know think we should have pulled up your great guitar licks underneath up in the mix. Hope to be hearing more from you soon my friend. You are one great writer. -Ron

[TomMeirose]

Thanks again, my friend. I think they're alright where they sit...makes folks listen a little harder. :) But I do think I'll stay away from the 8+ minute tunes for awhile. LOL

All the best

-Tom

[Tilly220]

What a fabulous collaboration! A beautiful song with the most delightful harmonies !!

[TomMeirose]

Thank you very much. Ron really did lay them in there smooth, didn't he?

[flatted5th]

This is nice. Great feel!

Richard

[TomMeirose]

Thank you so much, Richard.

[willienelsonpri]

Tom and Ron, this is a great collab. Awesome harmonies. Love the lyrics. Very enjoyable experience. Thanks. Will you do your own version of Willie Nelson's song A Peaceful Solution in your own style? Love to feature you on Willie's Peace site. Willie gives full freedom with style and lyric changes and additions. I know I've already asked you but I thought it was worth another shot. I can hope.Liz

[TomMeirose]

Thank you, from both Ron and myself, Liz.

And it's always worth another shot. I just have to get past the notion of trying to come up to the standards of a man I have so much respect for.

That isn't going to happen, but doing the song certainly still might.

Take good care, my friend.

[willienelsonpri]

You know Tom Willie would never have made it as far as he has if he thought he had to live up to the greats before him. When Willie really made it big was when he decided to be himself. That's all Willie wants from you. Be the best you can be. No one judges you as harshly as you judge yourself. Willie just wants voices for peace. I hope you will give it a shot. Liz

[TomMeirose]

Truer words were never spoken, Liz. And I really will give it some serious thought.

[willienelsonpri]

Thank you so much, Tom. Liz

[jacquesmees]

What a beautiful song

*****

[TomMeirose]

Thank you very much. It means a lot coming from a man with so much talent.

[flatted5th]

here here! just great.........

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much, Richard.

Your channel description has me most intrigued. I can't wait to stop by.

[cmsingerbill]

Wow This is just Awesome! Tom ,I love it it has many different groups sounds to me . put into my favorites  5 * great song and thanks Ron for the share :) and work too!

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Bill. I really appreciate it.

I've stopped by your channel, and there's a truckload of songs I'm looking forward to hearing.

[dannyknapp]

great song and collab !

[TomMeirose]

Hey, Danny! Thanks for giving it a listen. Your opinion weighs heavy around these parts, my friend.

[rhopen]

This is an amazing song Tom, really. It has that Bob Dylan epic feel to it: Like A Rolling Stone, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, A Hard Rains Gonna Fall, etc..., but of course it is all Tom Meirose :o) Your performance on this was pristine. Your guitar and vocal are perfect. I thank you for allowing me to play and sing with you. It was a great honor for me.

Talk to you later Tom, -Ron

[TomMeirose]

Ron, what can I say? This song wouldn't have sounded anything like this without your contribution. I am forever grateful, my friend. Thank you.

[QueenOfWannabe87]

Hi there Tom! It's so great to hear a new original from you! Lovely singing both lead vocals and backing vocals! So cool that you've been working with Ron too. He's a good friend of mine here on YT and a wonderful singer and songwriter too! Great job you two!

Have a wonderful week! peace&love&smiles, Anne

[TomMeirose]

Queen Anne, it's so nice of you to have taken the time. Thank you for your kind words.

Ron is a good friend to many of us, and a very cool guy. And maybe it's just me, but by some strange happenstance the man in the background of this photo looks a heck of a lot like Ron to me. Doesn't he?

Take care, my friend.

[duckscli]

An excellent original my friend, you and Ron sound superb together. Fine work Tom :)

Duncan

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Duncan. It's such a pleasure to work with Ron, isn't it?

I'm working on one now that's going to need some keys, though. I think you're going to be the next victim, my friend. :)

[duckscli]

It would be my pleasure :) Just give me a message when you want me :)

Duncan

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Duncan. I think we're gonna have some fun.

Take care, my friend.

[KentonKrueger]

great song Tom! i love the way that your voice combines with Ron's and i love your lyrics. makes me think of fly fishing trips with my father. =) keep on keepin on Tom, it looks like you are doing great.again, i love your greatlyrics.

[TomMeirose]

Thank you, Kenton. Ron was such a great help with this one.

I'm glad it brought up some fond memories.

[willhoit63]

Bruce

[TomMeirose]

Bruce, I'm so glad you stopped by. Thanks for your kind words.

I know you've got one or two I've missed. I'll be stopping by soon.
