harmony what a great pair! I can see why you envisioned Miss Slumbering's gorgeous vocals on this. This could fit quite nicely on the Garden State Soundtrack. I love it. Special kudos to your live tamborine and stapler. Is it a Swingline? :-) |

Gritty real, and sooo listenable Funny, at first your little bends on the guitar sounded quirky, and then very quickly I expected them and WANTED them to be there, so that worked. Then of course, no offense to your very nice singing, and great lyrics (I'll get back to them) but SLUMBERING!? I was excited to hear that she was going to be singing in this, and I was anticipating her entrance, and sort of missed the first stanza of lyrics. So I have gone back to listen again, now that I got my fix. You two did wonderfully on this. I love your slow tweaks on the chorus lyrics, and the music is one of those "sounds-happy-through gritted-teeth" type songs, very well done. Your lyrics do resonate here. And your voice is solid and very personal-sounding, driving home the message. Slumbering's harmonies are delicious, soft, and fit so nicely here. At the end, when you were singing the last line over and over, I was LOVING the melody/harmony, and really liked the slow changes on each repeat, and I admit, I was having a hard time letting go, I just wanted it to keep going. Really really nice work, both of you. ttfn, Drakonis |

Welcome back .. .. to you both. Always enjoyed BTB posts, and am a huuge fan of Miss S. Lovely song, great vocals and very nicely recorded guitars (oh, and of course, the tambourine!). A suggestion: maybe if you didn't bang the tambourine on the stapler the nails wouldn't come out :) Good post! Neil |

Love the folkiness .. .. lovely singing from you both .. your voices do really work together. I like the 'bare/rawness' of the production .. simple .. and effective ..excellent thoughtful and thought provoking lyrics. Tune itself reminded me a little of George McCrae's "rock your baby" (of all things) .. probably just me .. so pay no heed. "Hey Mr.Snargly Cableman .. sing a song for me" .. nah, just thought I'd see if it worked .. ;o) Welcome back Boris! |

Thanks from slumbs :) I've been reading the comments and was really surprised about the kind things people have said about my very small contribution to this wonderful song. When i first heard the original that Boris sent me, i knew it was a gem and felt honored that he thought of me. I thought that it didn't need anything else, it was ready to go and beautiful as it was. Somehow he managed to make it even better. I am very grateful to be part of this song and very flattered and humbled by the sweet things people have said about me. Thank you all so much. |
This is a great song. The lyrics are wonderful - powerful and evocative. They do indeed resonate, and the personal becomes universal - the sign of a great song in my book. The guitar sounds great, and add two terrific vocal performances and you have a magnificent track. Very cool. It's great to hear some new music from you, Mark. Nice work to both of you. Kudos. Peace.
