Tears like summer rain came tumbling downThey washed away the face that wore a frown
I didn't believe itHow could you mean itHow could I know
I didn't...
Tears like summer rain came tumbling down They washed away the face that wore a frown
I didn't believe it How could you mean it How could I know
I didn't understand it Nobody planned it You told me so
And now that your precious world Has turned itself around The baggage that's left behind Is littered on the ground
Walking for the last time through this town The memories like leaves are turning brown
I'll waste no more talking Just keep on walking Till there's no sound
Not quite succeeding Still I am bleeding Blood on the ground
You know if you open up Your heart it never heals You try to cover up But the more it just reveals

Dan - You know I love your music man! This tune has some great lyrics and your voice/playing puts a nice sheen on it. Tasty guitar licks add to it. Love the sound of a properly mic'd acoustic!

I missed this one, this has some lovely lyrics which you put across very well. The instrumentation is also excellent. Great mix on this well done indeed

Once again, the vocals carry the song here. Youb have chosen to keep the same sound on the guitar (heavy on the reverb and hollow sound). Have you considered recording it straight up to get the full resonance of it? It's too pretty to have so far away and needs the full warmth it deserves.

Dan : like the words and the simple set up of the song.Its a nice structure that belies the simplistic sound that flows from the headphones.Such a sweet tone on the lead reaches out from the song and grabs me.....
Well played with a really emotive feeling which is hard to do with anything other than a voice.
And that brings me to your vocal : its damned good ! delievered close up and with a hint of pain.
Nice

I liked it, the vocals and the rythem line grows on you as the song progresses. Really reminds me of a song you would hear in a Ireland Pub as they always have songplayers in there.
Nice work

I try my best to stick to genres that I know about (namely, the electronic ones and ones with great drum work) but if I see "acoustic" as the genre... I just can't pass it up.
Very nice voice! Fits the guitar beautifully, and your chord progressions were a little odd (compared to most modern music) but they sounded absolutely amazing. A really relaxing piece, I really liked what I heard here Definitely keep this up! Great work.

They are mostly in a fingerpicking style with a lead break usually in there somewhere. I guess I've been influenced in my playing by the likes of Bert Jansch and John Renborn and in my songwriting by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and others. I also loved the gentle sound of the great Mississippi John Hurt. He probably influenced me the most when I first started playing. The music of Nick Drake has been a more recent discovery and influence for me. </p></td></tr></table>
