Thanks, Jim, for having a listen and for your comments on it.  It`s interesting because I do actually struggle with SLOW songs and singing them.  For some reason, my natural tendency is to go for fast or medium paced songs, so doing a slow song like this throws me a bit lol.  All a learning curve isn't it and I guess it is good to make yourself do something that is not in your normal style.  So, thanks for your great feedback
On another note, your song as I said above was great and yes, I definitely think lyrically one of your best .... the fact it brought tears to my eyes, a sure sign of a good song      

Grah1, nice one, it suited you voice very well.     

Thankyou Peatle and neophytte for having a listen to my cover of Sea of Love.  Probably not my best attempt to cover as I rushed it in my 2nd attempt to cover it as I knew I was running out of time and wasn't going to get time to practice it b4 the end of the month.  Oh well, guess that's the nature of it.     

Hi everyone, been a bit of the busy month for me, so catching up tonight.

TIGLJK, great lyrics from you once again in your song.  I re-read them a couple of times tonight and it kinda made me sad, which lyrically is a good thing right?  It hit the spot to your listener or in this case reader.   Relationships, marriage losing that first love or that special thing between two people.

neophytte, Dancing in the dark, you covered it really well, it suited you vocally and your style.  I agree with the above comments that the guitar could be quieter or increase the loudness of your voice recording.  Otherwise, a good cover and suited you.
neophytte, your Crowded House cover was good as well.  I could definitely hear the phaser sound to this recording.  Nicely performed.

And with all that said, better late than never, here is my very quick recording tonight for FSOTM with the word SEA.

Peatle, wow, I loved the lyrics in this one, quite thought provoking.  I see you wrote it back in 2019 and what is very cool as the lyrics are still relatable today.  A very heartfelt song.  I listened very much to the words which grabbed me straight away.

Jets60, I agree with what Peatle said on Soundcloud, a good yearning type song.  Nicely performed and written .     

neophytte, thanks for the great feedback on my cover
I really liked your cover of Vincent, you performed it really well, especially if you have just gotten over a cold.  You managed the high notes and just the right amount of reverb on this one.  Great to hear you chatting a little bit before hand as well.  Big Thumbs up from me.

zurf, lol sorry if your not a fan of Neil Youngs music   Just what I could hear in parts of your vocals on one of your songs.  I like some of the old Neil Young songs, so didn't mean to insult you    
Thanks for the neat feedback on my cover too

Thanks so much Peatle, Grah1, easybeat and TIGLJK for the AWESOME feedback, made my day today actually and put a smile on my face from all the lovely comments and feedback.   I was doing housework, blah,  and it lifted my spirit up as I did my jobs around the house.     

Nice one Jim,  you have written this song well.  I agree, those 3 words are a bit nerve racking when your young in particular and most of us cross the nervous bridge and say them.  Love that line out of the bible too.     

Peatle, nicely written and  your thoughts come through strongly.  Well done, I enjoyed it as I visualized certain things you mentioned in there.  Like you, we have lots of Tui`s around the place and wood pigeons as well.  The wood pigeons, who weigh the trees branches down with their size and weight sometimes.     

Any suggestions for next month, September?

Help - The Beatles
