[lisageeandthe422]

This is a wonderful song.  You're a really solid songwriter; love the guitars!!!!

[dmio2]

@lisageeandthe422 Thanks for listening! and thanks for the comment. I'm glad to have youtube as an outlet to my creative energy.

[Sanctuary1952]

Belated congrats to you and your good woman...lovely song to write for her.. Here's to the next 17. Peace

[dmio2]

@Sanctuary1952 Thanks for listening! I guess this tune is the opposite of "Won't Somebody Love Me" ... but I suppose both emotions are a great place to create from.

[Sanctuary1952]

@dmio2 Absolutely!! Have a great week. Peace

[miekemaligne]

she must be a very special lady to have you write such a great song! Best Wishes, Mieke

[dmio2]

@miekemaligne Hi Mieke, thanks for listening & leaving such a nice comment.

[kiaweking]

Dan, you are blessed on many levels. Sweet melody, great lyrics, and a wonderful family. Thanks for the slide show. I can feel the love in this one so true.

Happy anniversary!

Peace,

Thomas

[dmio2]

@kiaweking Thanks for checking it out, Thomas. I think Betty White said slide shows used to be thought of as torture, but I guess if you keep it to 4-minutes yer ok. Thanks for listening!

[kiaweking]

@dmio2

...or perhaps a portmanteau into another world. Thanks for sharing a bit of your world.

Bless,

Thomas

[prboyd]

You old romantic ;) Thumbs up

[dmio2]

@prboyd heh, yeah ain't I something... thanks for listening!

[chuxtrux]

hi dan. this song works for me. even though it is a love song, it rings true. not just a string of empty cliches. the two things i like best about this one are the chorus "so ready to be in love" and your strong vocals with good range and pitch. this is memorable enough to get hummed later by listeners and that is a good thing. and the beat goes on, chuck.

[dmio2]

@chuxtrux Thanks for listening. I usually avoid love songs for those very reasons, but I guess some times a guy has got to do it. I appreciate the singing compliment. This is a little more of a "singers" song then the blues tunes I usually bust out.

[Sizzletube]

great song , love the sound you got with that gtr, happy anniversary,great pics

thumbs up

believe in love trevor sizzle

[dmio2]

@Sizzletube Hi Trevor. I kept thinking I wanted to buy a 12-string for this one, but eventually I just put a bunch of chorus on it and played it twice. I guess I saved myself some money. Thanks for listening!

[GavinGSwei]

Hey, thanks for commenting on my video.Appreciate it. Great song here too!The video as well! Happy 18th Anniversary =)

[dmio2]

@GavinGSwei I noticed your tune in the related videos when I was answering comments. I graduated high school in '78 so I figured I'd be able to relate.

[chickiesgrettagirl]

[edro333]

Thanks for sharing the clips, Dan. Nice revival of a song with great history!

[dmio2]

@edro333 Thanks for listening, edro. This is a bit more revealing then most of the crud I post.

[jessatilley]

Great song, from the heart, love the photos, especially the ones in the UK :)

[dmio2]

@jessatilley Thanks for listening. I wrote this song because my wife & I are both kind of independent/ loner types. Most love songs are pretty emeshed & codependent and didn't seem to apply to us;  thus I came up with this tune. We loved the UK btw.

[Boucrate]

Hey cool of you to share that with us my friend. You know I hope that you are a lucky man;-) Marvelous beautiful family! Yea!! And fine sincere real love song!

[dmio2]

@Boucrate You know, I usually avoid love songs, but once in a while a guys has got to do it.

[WizKil]
