[LastKingdomX]

Hello Ron! Very beautiful song! You aren`t only good musician but very good lyricist too. I really appreciate what you do. And it seems that you have a big collection of guitars and other instruments. Where have you acguired all those instruments?

Greetings from Finland!!!

[rhopen]

@LastKingdomX Hello and thank you. I have some instruments that I have picked up over the years here and there. None of them are very expensive, but good instruments. Thanks again. -Ron

[dylanfann1]

Ron this is such an amazing original

your very talented my friend x

[amccann7]

beautiful song Ron; you sound great.

[AliceKnightSong]

I absolutely love this song. I love your choice of words and your chords, it has a very mystical feel, and makes the song in general very attractive to the ear. "We all know wheels, ships, and wings Aren't the only things that can take you away." ....I'm in awe. 5/5

[em0girl2]

wow this is beautiful! Do you have a cd? You should!! :D

[paolofanzaga]

beautiful song and performance! bravo

[jatrichojas]

I really enjoyed this song. I thought the concept for it was interesting. I liked the lyrics and thought your also did a good job performing it. Very nice. Looking forward to more. Take care.

[JoSieLove2Sing4u]

[sistermoonshine13]

SWEET STUFF!!! Luv it!!!! **************

[mytosis33]

I love this song. Tell me please, does this have the religious theme that I think it does, or not. It's ok , I can dig it either way.

[rhopen]

Hello Brian. Thanks, and it is not really a religious theme here, but I can see how it can be taken that way. This song is really more about obsessive behaviors that can "take you away". Thanks a lot. -Ron

[weathermanspike]

I think this song is wonderful! I enjoyed it so much and I think your words are so true... BRAVO!

[TanteA]

Oh Wolfgang was here :-) I just wanted to listen to your song again. It is so good Ron. Have a great Labour day weekend!

Your German friend, -Anette

[WolfgangRaetz]

Hallo Ron,

may be I repeat myself - I like your songs!

Greatings from Berlin

Wolfgang

[LimaLima95]

Another gem Ron :-)

[BluegrassForte]

What a great song about "living in our own lttle worlds" vs. reality. Really liked the guitar part.

Lindsey

[TomMeirose]

Great song, Ron!

The twelve-string sounds great, though I'm not even going to ask about that pattern. Incredible!

Your dynamic sense on this one is spot-on. Just perfect. *****

[rhopen]

Hey Tom, it is great hear from you. Thanks a lot on this one. I appreciate it.

-Ron

[misspopanoche]

Another beautiful song, Ron. The bridge was sooo sweet.

You definitely have a gift for writing, music.

michael

[rhopen]

Hey Michael. I am loving this rather cool Summer we're having :o) Thanks a lot. -Ron

[TERUKO5]

This is a really pretty song! (And love that 12-string!) Five stars and putting this one in my favourites.

[rhopen]

Hi Teruko, and the 12-string is a very nice instrument.... just a bear to keep in tune...hehe. Thanks to you and have a great week coming up. -Ron

[plowboyes]

wish I could write 'em like that. Not bad singing either. The 12string worked well!  great job. winston

[rhopen]

Hello Winston, I thank you very much. -Ron

[mysticcynic]

Good to see a new one from you, Ron. The strumming adds a good vibe and works well with your phrasing. And the theme has orbital imagery spinning in my head...I'm diggin' it.

[rhopen]

Thanks Josef. This one has been around for a while, and I just now was able to finish it off. I think a 12-string would sound great in your hands, with you playing style. I'm just saying :o)

-Ron

[LillyC68]

A beautiful song, Ron!

I like the lyrics and harmonies a lot! Thanks for sharing and 5*,

Lilly

[rhopen]

Hi Lilly, thank you very much. I really appreciate you kind comment. -Ron

[raymondcrooke]

Excellent song, Ron. Just watched Danny Knapp covering another one of yours.

[rhopen]

Hello Raymond. Thanks a lot. -Ron

[suuzzee5]

Lovely melody and the lyrics are just fantastic! Beautiful job on this one, Ron, just simply beautiful.

[rhopen]

Thanks very much Suze. -Ron

[VenusAndMars1]

What a nice tune, Ron, like the feel in it!

You are a great song-writer/composer!

Best wishes, Frank

[rhopen]

Hi Frank, and that is fine compliment from a great songwriter/composer yourself. -Ron

[CurtisMateer]

The words just shimmer and set the mind wondering to whom they could apply - an egotistical person, drug user, "beureaucratic death panels" (just learned that phrase from Scott Cadwallader's latest post). As for the music, it has really nice changes ringing through it, particularly in the two bridges. It may make a nice Baroque-pop song, given the full and right treatment.

I'm enjoying the balance between this and your more traditional sounding work very much. Pete.

[rhopen]

Thanks Pete. Yea, this song can apply to all of the above. It is actually about what have seen a few of my friends go through in the past few years. Each had a different "obsession" but the results were same on their friends and family. Thanks Pete, and I will be over to you channel again soon for more your stuff. -Ron

[Ottawarocket]

Love your lyrics here Ron..you are one of the finest songwriters I know ..Great song my friend

Rocket

[rhopen]

Hey there Rocket. That is a very kind thing to say. I appreciate it very much too. Falls are nice in Canada i bet :o) Talk to you again soon. -Ron

[Ottawarocket]

Yes Falls really are Beautiful in Canada but boy do the winters ever suck

[Cameragirl803]

This is beautiful Ron! Love the changes and the lyrics are great too! Heck of a bridge my friend!!! Just loved this! faved of course:)) *****

[rhopen]

Thanks Jane. I hope you are doing good and the start of school has not been too stressful this year :o) Talk again soon. -Ron

[marcoacca]

Perfectly beautiful, Ron.

[rhopen]

Hi Marco. That is a very nice comment, and I thank you. -Ron

[Johnfern99]

Real nice melody and great songwriting!

[rhopen]

Hi John, thanks a lot. -Ron

[reliablebow]

Wonderfull and breezy....great chorus....Love the chordPlay:)

[rhopen]

Hi Michael. I am very appreciative of your comment. -Ron

[karlmahlmann]

Really good song. Nice 12 string.

[rhopen]

Thanks very much. -Ron

[2xVitamR]

Hello Ron. To this fine lyrics you play a wonderful sounding guitar melody. Is the 12string a new one?

Have a nice week

Michael

[rhopen]

Thank you very much Michael. The 12-string is one I bought about a year ago. I have used on one other YT song, a cover of one of Duncan's, but I have not used it again until now. It is a cheap Epiphone but it sounds pretty good when you strum it. Thanks again. -Ron

[stufish4040]

A really cool, allegorical song. 'Love the chiming guitar. 'Thoughtful lyric which many of us can readily identify with and that 'unclassifiable' rhopen sound. It's like a breath of fresh air :] 5*****

[rhopen]

Thanks very much, Stu. It is very allegorical, yes. I find that is one of the best ways to write when you are trying to make a statement about something serious, but want to be as artful as you can about it as well. Thanks again as always. -Ron

[Escagedo3rd]

Love this...the music is incredible!!! What a magic melody! Ron you create great moments of sound and words!!!!

[rhopen]

Thanks Eloy. That is a great comment coming from you. -Ron

[Boucrate]

Hey Ron a real beautiful song with very profound words..That we all need to hear;-)

I know I do!

Fine performance and singing!

[rhopen]

Hi Boucrate, and thanks. Yes, I think everyone is at risk to get obsessive about things sometimes, and it can reek havoc on the people around you if you are not careful. This is just a little cautionary tale, for myself as anyone else. -Ron

[chuxtrux]

hi ron. this is a very successful song. it is not only an original concept message, containing hope as well as mystery, but it is also commercial enough for high standard radio play. i very much like the tone of your twelve string. which model is it please? these are very well thought out lyrics and i'm certain some listeners will return to this one from time to time. five and favorites. chuck.

[rhopen]

Thanks very much Chuck. The 12-string is an Epiphone I bought about a year ago. It sounds pretty good if you strum it, but it is not so good for picking because the action is set very low on it. I prefer the way yours sounds, but then this Epiphone is just not in that class of guitar. Talk to you later. -Ron

[TanteA]

Ron... I listenend to your new song several times but still I am a bit speechless. Your lyrics are so impressive and the melody and the chords... what a great song.

Your German friend, - Anette

[rhopen]

Hi Anette. Thank you. I went from the 3-string Strumstick on my last song to the 12-string guitar on this one... as Homer Simpson would say, "doe!" :o) Greetings to you from USA.

-Ron

[stewze]

I needn't have to say that was awesome. Impressive as always, Ron.

[rhopen]

Hi Stew, thank you. I guess as our Summer closes you guys will just be starting it? Have fun and keep posting your songs. -Ron

[stewze]

Yeah our summer starts soon, starting spring at the moment =] I'm hoping to get another song up soon, either just before exams or after they finish, I'm not sure how it will pan out.

[cogermax91]

great song Ron !!!!! bravo 5 stars of course !!!!

[rhopen]

Thank you Marie-Alix. You and your orchestra are really great by the way. I hope you can post more of those :o) -Ron

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Hi Ron :) I agree with Nancy - this is an interesting song....personally, I like to come down to earth as little as possible..lol....the view is better floating above things a little :)....

5 stars and best wishes for the weekend!

Sunbeam :)

[rhopen]

Hi Sunbeam, thanks very much, and I am really enjoying your travelogues. They are very interesting and nice to watch. -Ron

[nllleonard]

Such an interesting song! I like it very much, Rob! ~NAncy

[rhopen]

Thanks Nancy, and I think all the instruments on the wall made you say Rob, haha... Thanks -Ron

[nllleonard]

You are kind to give me an excuse, but sadly, the mind is going. :( I think I have done it to most all of my friends by now. Very sorry Ron!!! Between typos and "intellectual pauses" I am a mess. Anyway, I got to hear your great song again and leave another comment! ;)

~NAncy

[rhopen]

Hehe, no problem at all Nancy, you were only off by one letter anyway, haha. -Ron

[Gordieiati]

This has a really nice groove to it Ron!

I really enjoyed this!

Big Stars!!

[rhopen]

Thanks very much, Gordon. I appreciate you stopping in for this one. -Ron
