As a person who has a daughter named Tuesday (albeit in French - Mardi), I can relate to this one. Another of your lovely Waif-like song - simple, nicely accented, telling a personal story. You do this so well.

Good to see you back on MJ - thought you'd disappeared into cyberspace.

Cheers,
Neil

Thanks Neil. It's good to back. I wasn't lost in cyberspace...I was lost in the real world. Recording my CD has been keeping me from the very thing that made recording a CD possible: MacJams. I thought I'd better submit something before I became a distant MacJams memory. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Neat how that odd chord comes in on "conformist". Well recorded and sung, really nice strumming and such a smooth vocal. Really well written song. Sounds like it could be a Finn Bros. song. which is to say, it's a classic example of personal pop singer-songwriter craft. Excellent!

Thanks heaps, Jim. What a great comment about the chord on "conformist". I wish I could say I meant it...I hadn't even noticed. Thanks for that.

And, I gotta tell you, when someone says one of my songs reminds them of the Finn Brothers.....I can't help but feel very, very chuffed.

I'm glad you chose to dig this up and record it. It doesn't sound rough to me at all. Great sound and performance as always. I think you have a wonderful song here and it stands up very well in this simple format. I'd only say that I'd prefer the song wind down to an end rather than fade out but that's a minor thing.

Thanks Peter. Yeh, I always wonder if some of the oldies are worth bringing out of the vault. Thanks for the reassurance. As for the ending, you're spot on. I'm afraid the fade out is the result of a bit of laziness on my part. Thanks for listening.

Thanks so much for posting this song, Nolan.

It sure doesn't sound "rough" to me. Your vocals are spot-on, simple, unadorned with any extra "trappings", very clean and your lyrics speak directly to the heart.

Your Aussie accent comes out a bit on this one. Love it!

Your guitar playing complements the vocals beautifully.

Who could ask for anything more?

There IS one small thing (ha ha!) I would have liked to hear you NOT fade out at the end, perhaps just slow down the vox and guitar chords - which would have created more of a definitive ending to this great song.

Thanks for posting! I hope all is well with you.

Thanks Cameron. Lovely to hear from you again. You always write such great comments. They're very much appreciated. Yeh, I agree with the fade out thing. I think I was a bit rushed in the end...cut a corner or two. Thanks again.

Ah!!! Rare occasion! A new Nolan song, just like old days, I'm getting sentimental.

And such a beautiful song. Hope the lyrics doesn't too much reflect your life of today ..... at least you have MacJams .. maybe a poor substitute for going to New York City, Vancouver, London and Tuscany .. but it is something anyway (thats how I feel myself).

I don't think there is much else needed than this - you and your guitar, that's perfect. You have the perfect combination for going out singin on partys, weddings, christenings etc: A good sounding guitar, a gorgeous voice, musical sensitivity and a music talent above most. Easy to bring, easy to book. (I'm getting curious to know more about your everyday life, what you do for living, for music etc)..

You should have a record out!!!
Then New York City :-)

Thanks so much Curry, for your lovely words. I'm certainly not worthy of them.

I've been to New York since I wrote this; and I may see Tuscany before the end of the year.

All is good here, thanks. I've just never been completely satisfied with the whole concept of working 40 hours a week for 40 years. I'd rather spend my days playing music, surfing, seeing the world. It all gets a bit frustrating sometimes.

MacJams is a great distraction though.....

You continue to have a wonderful, idiosyncratic but accessible sound and worldview... Unique to you, quite specific, and yet all the more universal for that... Great song, great voice...

[Not... going... to... say... Neil.... Finn... ]

Right.

I love the layers of musing and dreaming going on in this song... Thoughts mingling with dreams... The sort of things that new dads do tend to get tangled in from time to time...

Seriously, thanks a lot for your support all this time.
