[chrisgilroy19]

hey ron loving this!

[CerebralJam]

Good even'ning :D

Okay, I love this... hope that's okay? :P

I think you have summed up something wonderful here, double meanings, and yet extraordinary feelings...

[rhopen]

@CerebralJam Hi Jam, thanks for stopping by and the great comment I appreciate it very much. I hope you are well. -Ron

[sistermoonshine13]

You write STUNNING songs Ron:)))) Its WONDERFUL!!!! xo

[rhopen]

@sistermoonshine13 Thank you so much Sis, and thank you also for all your support of all the artists here on Youtube. You are tops. -Ron

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Ron, you are such a talented musician, and I'm just in awe of that. You always have perfect timing when playing any instrument, while I struggle with basic playing of anything, hehe. I just love to tune in and listen. And you are also a great songwriter. What a brilliant song. I sort of see it as an ink blot song. It could mean different things to different people. To me it means that REAL beauty is what's inside, the character of a person. What's outside can be deceiving. :) Janet

[rhopen]

@onewomanandsomesongs HI Janet, I really appreciate you great comment very much. Sorry for the later reply. Best wishes to you. -Ron

[ThePentatonicSnails]

sounds great. gotta add it to the favorites.

[wooddragon45]

Excellent...in all respects...

5/5* Fav

[CurtisMateer]

I don't have to have this explained to me, but the last line has me scratching me head a bit...that's good...had an English lit lecturer once who reckoned every good poem has at least one line in it which you can't work out. The piano playing is superb. If you played like Bud Powell it simply wouldn't carry the McCartneyish flavour as well.

[Libelle1963]

Ron - es ist wundervoll!!! Ich liebe es!!! Mein Herz íst bei Dir! My english - ;-((((

Du bist genial!

Mit Liebe

von Kerstin

[cameragirlJane]

Popped over for another listen today!! You sure make magical songs on that keyboard Ron!! Such a talent!

[goreedy]

Polished, clever, beautifully sung and played. Yet another top quality posting. Well done Ron.

Simon

[miekemaligne]

What a wonderful piece! you never fail to amaze Ron! Mieke

[duckscli]

I must have missed this in the few days when the subscription boxes weren't working. It's absolutely fantastic, love the progressions like many others have said and the general feel of it is very effective. Talk soon mon fre.

[rhopen]

@duckscli

Hey there Duncano, great to hear from you. I hope all is well with you and you're setting into a nice groove for School. Thanks for the good words and I"m looking forward to more uploads from you when you can work them in :o). Later, -Rono

[marycigarettes]

such great un obvious chord progressions...lovely well intentioned thoughtful songwriting...lovely ron

[rockingphil58]

Excellent song lyrics and performance Ron thank you my friend from Phil .

[carolsmusic2]

Hello Ron! :) Beautiful song...congratulations to it.....also a great message! Thumbs up, up and away! Carol

[paxukulele]

The English teacher in me wants to correct "its pinnacle," but that's a minor point. Great song! I always try to apply the idea of this song to people and look deeper beyond a person's appearance. Not always easy!

[1catbob]

Great idea for a song, Ron. I enjoyed it very much.

[busywave]

A beautiful song Ron. I like the subject. I sure enjoyed it.

Mark

[AnnaJohnsonMusic]

Had to listen twice to really let it soak in! The lyrics are fabulous and strikingly true! So glad I listened. ~Anna

[rhopen]

@AnnaJohnsonMusic

Hi Anna. thank you very much for your kind comment and I will be over to your channel very soon to listen. Greetings, -Ron

[ljped]

Wonderful song and powerful lyrics Ron!. Beautiful if I may say :))

[rhopen]

@ljped Many thanks to you. Have a great evening. -Ron

[TheHendersongs]

nice song! what is the little guitar on the left? not a mandolin.. but?

[rhopen]

@TheHendersongs

Hello Hendersongs, thank you. That instrument is a curatro, a ten-stringed instrument that is native to Puerto Rico. I has a very nice sound. Thanks, -Ron

[PatrickGMoran]

Extraordinarily complex but ideally simple just the same. Crazy good idea and lyrics Ron...you sucked me in with those minor chords and kept me held hostage until the ever present smile at the end. You can write some charming music that is new and fresh and always a blast to listen to. Just an amazing share my friend. Thank you.

[rhopen]

@PatrickGMoran

Thanks Pat, I appreciate you kind comments. My piano songs tend to be a bit more dark, not intentionally really but maybe just the nature of the chords as you say. Thanks a lot Pat and I'm looking forward to your next. -Ron

[Oswlek]

You are so creative, Ron. I find my songs always trending towards common movements, but you seem to avoid that while still feeling natural.

Is that something you do intentionally or are you just innately awesome? ;-)

[rhopen]

@Oswlek

Thanks Justin, and the truth is I am innately incapable of writing songs in any conventional way... good and bad in equal measure :o) Thanks and I'm looking out for you new stuff. -Ron

[MrECLECTICIAN]

great song and great topic ... we here in Miami may be the capital of Faux Beauty... but then again there's some real beauty as well.

[rhopen]

@MrECLECTICIAN

Hey thanks a lot Jeff. -Ron

[dholeton]

Great song Ron

Is so true but leaves us hanging.

Dave

[rhopen]

@dholeton

Hi Dave, thanks and I hope you are doing good. I need to get over to your channel very soon to make sure I haven't missed anything. YT is bad about not letting me know my friends uploads lately. Thanks again. -Ron

[SIRONEDRAGON]

[ImOfTheWoods]

Beautiful, Ron.  Wonderful song - really like the play on words. Really lovely performance - you are sounding like Paul McCartney, I think. Well done, my friend! 8o)

[rhopen]

@ImOfTheWoods Thank you very much Sylvia. Love your collab with Janet. -Ron

[cinderellalifestyle]

Really like this, and fun to watch you play....I've never tried a single bass note on the bottom, chord on the left,..a now will..........love the hearing and seeing, always inspirational...

Cheers!

[cinderellalifestyle]

@cinderellalifestyle ER,,....chord on the right,,,,,,LOL

[rhopen]

@cinderellalifestyle

Hi Laurie,

thanks for you nice comments. I sort of keep myself from going astray on the piano with the left-hand bass notes..."ok bass note is D... then it must be a D chord" haha :o) I will love to hear you doing some of this too. Thanks -Ron

[karlmahlmann]

Hey Ron. I enjoyed everything about this song. The overall sound is terrific with the solemn piano, beautiful minor / complex chords resonating deep below the superficial. And I can see this also as social commentary, very relevant to this media age. Nice work, really. - Karl

Oh, and also I really dig the flavor of the lyrics -mixing modern colloquial with King James-like verse, I try to do that sometimes. It's very effective here.

[rhopen]

@karlmahlmann Hi Karl, I really appreciate you comments, especially in light of your own great musicianship. Yea, I must admit I go off on the media in a lot of my songs, but they have it coming to them haha. It is good you mention the lyrics regarding the mixing of styles. I agree that is very interesting to do sometimes. Talk to you later. -Ron

[stufish4040]

Extraordinarily brilliant, with a very clever lyric & great piano. Yet another one which I could see in a show ;] 5*****

[rhopen]

@stufish4040 Thanks Stu, and Johnny Jones is doing nicely, great job on the vid. Talk to you later. -Ron

[TanteA]

Hi Ron, I what a great song you created here. I love it so much how you performed it live. It is a moving performance. And - I like the little bird on your piano very much.

Thank you for your wonderful songs Ron. They belong to the best.

Very nice greetings from Berlin, Germany, -

Anette

[rhopen]

[FrankRMusic]

Hi Paul, eeh Ron, a really nice song, with the open end, the beautiful chorus, and the clear voice plus piano style. The nmeaning?, you know, I don´t care that much for meanings (lyrics) in music, honestly.The voice is an instrument for me, a sound. Of course, some lyrics are breathtaking good, but in the end for me it´s the sound.

The way you sing is it!

Frank

[rhopen]

@FrankRMusic

Hi Frank, yea I even play the piano like Macca does with my left hand doing the bass notes and the right hand doing chords.... completely backwards of course haha. Thanks for the nice comment Frank. -Ron
