yeah...i'm totally feeling this one. you sure have a handle on those notes up there in the stratosphere for the men-folk...loving em. great song to keep me company whilst i work (or try to anyway). enjoyable from start to finish, but not surprising, which is why i click on your stuff cuz i know i'll get to listen to some quality music throughout.

don't go on vacation again. and if you must, how does one get an invitation to go along and goof off with other snappers? lol

:-) Came back for more. You know, so many people when they sing a song try to sound like the original artist, you don't, and your voice is perfectly matched for this form of composition.

The highs are indeed fabulous as Raggy E says. This a wonderfully, haunting melody...

Sensitive yet powerful...

Bruce, Elton is so damn hard to sing. What I really like about you is that you don't try to sing it like Elton, you sing it like yourself, and it comes off so genuine.

You really sound fabulous on this one. :)

It's such a great song.

Wow, and those high notes...effortless for you :)

I used to have a Sharp mono radio cassette recorder, right snazzy it was, when I was 18 and yep nothing I liked more than going to bed, and turning the light, and falling to sleep listening to haunting music. Heheh, but I had bad taste too, I loved Camel and The Snowgoose, that got played a lot! I still have all my Camel cassettes.

Wow. I wrote you a story - sorry!
