Very nice performance...love this "Adult Contemporary " !

Drawn in by this, you've captured a lot of emotion in this song and performance Steve, great job!

A general comment, not just about this song which is one of your best, but all your recent work. I'm pretty amazed at the craftmanship that has gone into these songs Steve. I agree with the guy down the list who mentions Randy Newman. However songs like 'Police on Me' could be mid period Steely Dan. Fantastic stuff. Your craft is improving!

Beautiful feeling in those vocals Steve, and a well crafted song. Good luck with the 3 songs...blessings!

very beautiful vocals and a great song !!!

Lovely melodic warm gentle dynamic track with great distinctive sound and vocal!

You don’t have to fall in love

You don’t have to fall in love like I have
Just show that you understand me
And I will smile through the hurt
Of your lowered voice and words
In the snatch of time you’re standing close to me

I know you think I’m crazy
You’re a mile away from free
And I’m pricking at your comfort
With everything I feel
Like winter flu I’m shivering
Your virus tethering me
I’m going to be a long time under siege

You can stoke the fever
A hint of smiling eyes
You sense the pulse of magic
Of our conspiracy
Even though you know I know
You would never leave
And I will have to learn to live with dreams

I’m living for the corridor – your guard gone down  
That little part of you that’s just for me
