you are very kind.

Julia.x.

[petermackett37]

Another hauntingly beautiful song,Julia,you put me in mind of Joan Baez and Julie Felix with your folk style of singing,i think you could be up there with them!

[roadbikegarden]

@petermackett37

thank you Peter, you are a dear to compliment me so.

I think original songs are better than covers because they are our own real stories.x.

[mktmic7]

pretty awesome song julia

[roadbikegarden]

@mktmic7

Thank you Mr Tipton.

I shall give proper attention to the song you sent me in a while.

.x.

[SPACEFACE70]

Hey really good very folky! You have an enchanting voice.

[roadbikegarden]

@SPACEFACE70

How kind you are to comment on this song that I made for my son.

Folky ? - well I guess thats how they made us way back then! :)

.x.

[InuitAldebaran]

Definitely a song to sing along with. The easy access to my ear reminds me of Arlo Guthrie or early Al Stewart and, hmmm, of MarkH901's "Ballad of a leftwing terrorist", if you care to know. In short: Of other great singer/songwriters...

[roadbikegarden]

@InuitAldebaran

MarkH901 is my friend and he makes very good songs. I am elated that you would consider my song to be in that league.x.

[nannerbj]

Beautiful Julia

thank you dear Tadek for taking the time to watch and comment.

I hope you are well.x.

[LanangYogya]

I read the lyrics (my english hearing isn't good..) and I realize you are a very talented writer..First time I wonder why the title was "Funny" and after read all the lyrics, everything is clear. Touching story.... Love all the green color domination in the video, and sunset in the last scene, it really catch the last lyric "until the end of your days and forgive her endlessly for all her funny ways.." Beautiful work from you and Mikee....

[roadbikegarden]

@LanangYogya

Andhika, thank you for taking the time to understand my funny ways!.x.

[bigbeninjax]

Julia, this is great songwriting. Touching, mesmerizing storytelling in a song...the way it's supposed to be done. Nice images by Mikee, too. Loved the shadows of the couple holding hands. Straight into Favorites!

[roadbikegarden]

@bigbeninjax

Thank you BigBen, I am so happy that you like this. Mikee found that picture of the shadow couple and I just loved it, so much more evocative than all the 'trad wedding couple' photo's. Hope all is well in Florida Land.x.

[bigbeninjax]

@roadbikegarden Florida is finally the way it should be.....cool nights and warm days...instead of the intense cold of this winter. Just spent the evening with some mates around a campfire roasting oysters and drinking beer....life is good!

BigHugs

[roadbikegarden]

@bigbeninjax

Sounds good.

I have a friend with an appartment in Florida, perhaps Ill get there one day.x.

[bobbysgirl001]

Finally had the time to put to this song that it deserves....just beautiful Julia thanks so much for sharing with me, hope your well my closest little never met friend lol (we have to do something about that!!!)

Have a wonderful week hunni xx

[roadbikegarden]

@bobbysgirl001

Hello Calli. This is the sweetest comment and I appreciate so much that you made time to listen. I am so dissappointed that I'll not be able to see you on Saturday. I am doing a course and I have to attend workshops on some saturdays and I'd never make it in time. There will be another day. Sending you a big special hug via 'secret spark mail' which I know you will get ! much love.J.x.

[nllleonard]

Dear Julia,

Thank you for letting me know about this one! It is completely charming and engaging...played and sung so sweetly. As a mother myself, I found the lyrics very touching. I would have been disappointed to miss this! Please do always feel free to share with me!

Into my faves and a thumbs up, of course!

NAncy

[nllleonard]

Blimey, you're getting really good at this, aren't you? What funny ways have you got then? (LOL!) x

[roadbikegarden]

@rx6180

You still watch my videos? - this means such a lot to me. Have you heard from Jack?

Funny ways???, hmmm, I've missed you and that's funny enough aint it ?.x.

[rx6180]

Yes, Julia, I've re-discovered your own videos, though I don't watch all the shared ones done by other people. Not everything appeals to me, though I'm quite impressed by your developing talent, especially the song writing aspect. And missing me? Well, that IS funny! Mick the prickly hedgehog! Jack is doing fine and back on YT still as raconter1, after wiping off his videos after feeling a bit threatened by some guys who approached him at a show and weren't pleased about their cars being on YT

[rx6180]

I just had to remove some multiple postings - I'm still getting used to YT's wacky new system!

[roadbikegarden]

@rx6180

Yeah, he told me all about this.

and so my prickly hedgehog, talk to you later !.x.

Julia,this is great! Wonderful lyrics and singing...your playing is superb...and I dare say there aren't many on the planet who can say their mother-in-law wrote and sang a song for them...especially one this good. Bravo!

Sir Merlot...you are turning into a video-making sentimental sweetheart....and if you keep doing videos like this,your reputation will be shot! Well done!

[geoff1945]

There are many songs I have heard about new borns. I have written one myself but this is the first Ive heard about a grown-up son. Beautifully sung and played, Julia Inspires me to think of something more constructive about my dearly loved elder son, gone off on holiday to Scotland with his girlfriend leaving his car with instructions for us to take delivery of a replacement, exchange the old one and pay for it all.

Thanks to Mikee for his part and to Tim for sharing.

[roadbikegarden]

@geoff1945

Funny - I used to sing to them when they were littel but never wrote for them then.

Yes - I should write a song with the phases 'Mum can you just......' and 'Mum can you lend us a........'

I am certainly familiar with paying out !!!!!!!!!, and with 2 still at Uni it doesn't get any better.x.
