Hi Jeff, Wonderful lyrics and a positive song that soothes the ears and the soul :)

great song Jeff, so well crafted, love your gentle music arrangement and warm sound, it feels like a sunny hug, great lyrics and vocals, a total hit!

Always great to hear your heart songs Jeff. (the 'manatee' songs are cool too). I like the subtle beauty of the vocal chorus mix juxtaposed against your solo vocal., the orchestral bridges are lovely, and the sad theme of watching a loved one's light die brings it all home.

Can see why you brought it back Jeff, a beauty, and love the vocal

A very polished production with great vocal work.

I did this about a year ago -- posting again because I reworked it a bit, and I just really like the tune. The 2nd & 3rd verses were inspired by a fellow SoundCloud member's life events. Due for release on Spotify Nov 16!!

Is it There

one two three four five six seven
all good children go to heaven

is it there
is it right there by your side

while you were sleeping
a summer rain fell through the night
(hear the sound of the falling rain there in the night)
and the taste of bitter dreams became sweeter
with the gentle sound in your mind
(knowing that soon the sun will rise leaving the night behind)

is it there to remind
that everything will be alright

I put down the page knowing there was no turning back
I watched her breathing in the sacred arc of life
I wandered alone in a hallway lit by an exit light

so much time when you were young
didn't feel the pendulum
now the saturnine faces of the ones we love
you wonder why

if I could have anything that I could keep safe and never undone
I would hold you in this fragile moment in the september sun
it means everything to have you near me





Is it There

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
