Song Information
Long Gone by Paul Douglas SannerThis ballad tells the story of someone’s daydream to “leave it all” and run away along with the moral of the story…all set to...
What a great song .... really tells a tale that I can identify with. That is exactly what I did back in the seventies.
There a million things that are done right here with this song. I had to make sure I came by to attempt to voice what all I love about this. This is crystal clear in production first off. The solid voice...you have what I love in a voice. Pure soul, harmony, melody, and control. This is like one of those songs you see winning multiple Grammys. Seriously...that is how good this is. I would personally love to see this stay the song of the week or month because its on point. I can't even tell you how much I love this song. Then the lyrics and story...being a songwriter and writing the story about real life or creating a character...this song has a perfect storyline. I love to be able to read lyrics to a song and be able to SEE that story play out in my imagination. Then when I go to listen to how the singer delivers the lines, it all comes into even clearer focus pending the singer. You gave a masterclass here in how to deliver a lyric and make the listener really hear and see it play out. It's also something I can relate to also which I feel is something that others will be able to relate to also. A sign on a true songwriter. Then your range and depth to your music...and your voice. The falsettos and everything. You remind me why I love to sing and write and make music. This is the boost I needed this week. Truly strong and honest performance. Congratulations on having the Song of The Week. Totally deserved! I also look forward to more music from you and find it an honor to be able to hear your music, period. We all inspire one another and this really inspired me. Thank YOU!
Sweet evocative tune - perfect balance. Nicely understated singing. ftlpope
Love the harmonica on the intro and great guitar work. Acoustic sounds clean as can be. Vocals are superb. This is really a high quality track in many ways. No complaints or suggestions on this tune. I would not change a thing. Excellent work!
So lovely to hear the harmonica!! Really love the instrumentals throughout. Vocals are super, with a gentle tone that marry the lyrics perfectly. A soft, dreamy little song. Love it. Wishing you well, Melsi

Harmonica intros always pull me into a song...this harp sounds great! Excellent lyric, vocal work and the acoustic guitar is very full and earthy. As mentioned....a very professional sound to this. I hear clearly why this is Mixposure's song of the week choice...well done!
