Description:
This is a song about a broken heart on the mend. I guess we have all been there at one time or another...but it always get better. Life goes on.

I cannot believe you were not first! You are always first! LOL...Thank you for listening and I am thrilled that you liked it. [ Reply to This ]
Gail &mdash 03/03/08 - 05:51:37 PM
I'm a bigger fan than ever since you've been singing. I just love your voice... and then to be able to play piano like that is wonderful. Added to that, is that you can write lyrics and melodies like these as well. What a great song and yes.... we have been there. Did I say this was beautifully sung???, regards M [ Reply to This ]
Aww, Maurice &mdash 03/03/08 - 08:21:07 PM
Thank you my friend. You are always too kind to me. Thank you for always being supportive and making me feel on top of the world. I have no clue why I wanted to write a sad song for a change.... I guess I just felt that I was supposed to?? Who knows. Thanks again. [ Reply to This ]
Nice song &mdash 03/03/08 - 05:54:26 PM
I would love to hear the cellos bigger and bolder and maybe a different more flattering reverb on your lovely voice
Thanks to Drakonis for plugging it in the chat room... [ Reply to This ]
Thank you &mdash 03/03/08 - 08:23:13 PM
I am still learning how to work this recorded that I have and I just can't seem to get it right alot of the time. I especially mess up on the reverb....Geez, I am trying! LOL Every day I try something else. This also sounds different now that I took my headphones off. Oh well....thanks for listening. Appreciate the comments. [ Reply to This ]
Yikes! &mdash 03/03/08 - 06:02:17 PM
Talk about a HeartSong of a different kind... gorgeous song and playing as usual (what is it you always say to Paul Page... "I'm waiting for you to write a BAD one")... lyrics are poignant and with this slow pacing, really draws out the sorrow, and the heaviness of trying to pick up and move on. Glad to hear this is not a recent memory to draw from! Excellent singing, though the recording of voice is ever-so-slightly muffled, but not too bad, I can still hear your words clearly. Boy, now I have to go huddle in the corner and cry for a minute.
ttfn,
Drakonis [ Reply to This ]
aww no &mdash 03/03/08 - 08:25:43 PM
No crying allowed. No it was not about me...but it is life, right? You are such a great fan and terrific friend. You always come through for me like a knight in shining armor! Or a dragon with scaly skin? Whichever way, the point is you are awesome. Glad you liked this Eduard. Thank you for listening and for being you! [ Reply to This ]
Wow! &mdash 03/03/08 - 06:32:45 PM
Beautiful! Thanks for the mood! No really! While we've all been there I'd rather not go back but in this song you make it pleasurable.
As posted above please keep singing! You have a beautiful voice! Piano is great too! No not great but wonderful!

Wow &mdash 03/03/08 - 08:27:38 PM
thank you so much Mark. You really did make my day! Glad I could give you a mood. :) I appreciate your kind comments very much. I am thrilled you liked the song. Take care [ Reply to This ]
Sad song... &mdash 03/03/08 - 06:43:19 PM
...nicely folded into d minor. Great piano playing, Gail. It supports you perfectly. I echo the comment above about the reverb on your voice, wishing YOU were a little more FORWARD in the mix. I had trouble understanding the lyrics (maybe because I am losing my hearing!) and wished that I could read them. But the composition itself and your particular styling of the performance are a real pleasure to hear. ... And now you are compelling me to post a sad number myself. Maybe this is the aftermath of the Valentine's love songs.
Peace.

Hello Paul &mdash 03/03/08 - 08:31:30 PM
My favorite pianist of all! Thanks my friend for coming by and sorry about the muffling...I am still working on getting things right. I sure don't want to start a trend of sadness.....yuck. I would much rather focus on the final of the song where there is hope for the person to survive on their own. We each should feel that way, whether we "want" to or not. Right? Right. Okay enough about me...Looking forward to your next Happy song!! Thanks Paul! [ Reply to This ]
Sad, but not :-) &mdash 03/03/08 - 10:20:25 PM
Gail, this is such a good song! The piano and your voice sound great together, and it has hope in it, even though the lady has had her heart broken. She's a survivor and will triumph again. So pretty...:-) [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Roxylee &mdash 03/04/08 - 03:36:06 PM
You are such a great cheerleader. I have never seen you make a derogatory comment to anyone. I am happy you liked the song. Thanks for listening and the sweet support. [ Reply to This ]
Very fine &mdash 03/03/08 - 11:30:41 PM
Song and the piano is super, vocal could have been a tad higher, but your performance shines...Bravo [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 03/04/08 - 03:44:14 PM
I really appreciate the comments. Thanks for taking time to listen. I am still learning this recording stuff....one of these days I will get it right! :) [ Reply to This ]
Love those &mdash 03/04/08 - 12:32:14 AM
high notes and all the rest that goes with it. Enjoy the piano as well. You have been such a delight here at MJ ! I am never disappointed when I hear your new tunes and you always seem to come up with something fresh.
Thanks for sharing!
Ya, feter always beats me to the good ones it seems :) I gota act faster I guess. But never the less, glad I made it here!
WAy to Go Gail !!! Keep going with that voice. You have a lot of vocal talent offer! Plus the piano is sublime!!! [ Reply to This ]

thanks so much &mdash 03/04/08 - 03:52:19 PM
You are too nice and I am grateful, thank you. Such nice comments that make me smile every time. Much appreciated, glad you liked it. [ Reply to This ]
Nice one Gail! &mdash 03/04/08 - 02:01:56 AM
Now that you're out of the vocal closet it's time to turn up the volume on your voice, and maybe cut the reverb so that your voice is up front and clear, where it should be. Your voice is sounding really good, so why hide behind the piano player - well, figuratively speaking of course :)
Good song, reminiscent of Carole King - and she did OK.
Cheers,
Neil [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Neil &mdash 03/04/08 - 03:57:43 PM
Yes I finally came out of the closet....Has not been as bad as I imagined. :) Everyone here is so nice and supportive. It made my transition a lot easier. I am no pro at recording...actually very, very far from it...but I am trying to get better at it. I ask for patience and hope no one gives up on me. :) That includes you. Thanks for coming by, glad you like the song. [ Reply to This ]

Jack Sweetheart! &mdash 03/04/08 - 04:03:53 PM
Thank you. You are wonderful as always and too kind. I could not sing earlier because I was a chicken! Now I am just an old bird. LOL...Like Neil said, I have come out of the closet so to speak...and I am having a blast! Thanks for the hats off....such a gentleman you are. Thanks my friend, you know how much I appreciate your support. [ Reply to This ]
Whew... &mdash 03/04/08 - 03:23:58 PM
...first Paul's "Round and Around" and then this...in the span of 10 minutes...
I've lived this moment...hope you're ok...best to get it out, as you have here...very eloquently...sweetly played and sung... [ Reply to This ]
Hello Bob &mdash 03/04/08 - 04:07:50 PM
Yes this was quite the day for depressing songs was it not?? LOL I had no idea I would cause a firestorm of sadness. I am blessed and not sad. This was just a song. Nothing more. No hidden meanings here. But the important part to me was that no matter what the situation is...there is always hope. Always. At least in my mind there is. :)Thanks for listening and glad you liked this one. [ Reply to This ]
you again &mdash 03/04/08 - 06:51:38 PM
Didn't you just post a new song yesterday? It sure seems like it. Those creative juices are really flowing now, huh.
I enjoyed this song quite a bit. I'm glad you went darker with this one. I should introduce you to my dark master. You'll like him.
Seriously though, great job.
btw - How do you find time to write and perform great new songs on a regular basis and reply to everyone's comments. Don't you have a job? [ Reply to This ]

Call me a new fan, &mdash 03/04/08 - 07:15:02 PM
the depth of the writing and performance is great. Your vocal range really handles this like a power ballad - it perhaps could be a little more clear and upfront, though the vocal effect could be what you intended as well. [ Reply to This ]
Hello New Fan : ) &mdash 03/04/08 - 09:31:31 PM
Honored to have you as a fan. Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you like the music and appreciate your comments very much. [ Reply to This ]
KUDOS! &mdash 03/05/08 - 07:57:59 AM
WOW Gail, what a great vocal performance ? What an amazing piano composing and playing ?!
I'm speechless, this is amazing piece by all means and I guess that you recorded 2 piano lines? But anyway, this is one of your very bests. Thanks for sharing such a masterpiece .... I'm blown away!
Take Care

Aww thanks &mdash 03/05/08 - 10:32:12 PM
I appreciate you Yeman. You are too kind. Thanks for coming by and listening. I am grateful. I am also happy that you like it! Yes it is 2 piano recordings. I am disappointed in the final cut here, but am still learning how to record....I may get it right one of these days. :) Thanks again! [ Reply to This ]
Don't Tell Me You're Sorry &mdash 03/05/08 - 09:47:58 PM
This is WONDERFUL. I really admire your piano skills, and the fact that you can do THAT, plus write AND sing beautiful lyrics. (I'm a total one-trick pony!) As others have commented, I wish your voice was a little more up front - your voice is so awesome. Thanks [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 03/05/08 - 10:36:24 PM
I am happy you liked this. You have been so nice to me and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. Hey there is nothing wrong with being a "one trick pony"...the problem lies in making sure you are wearing the right shoes.... boo hiss bad joke.. Thanks again! [ Reply to This ]
Piano &mdash 03/06/08 - 08:56:53 PM
This is a wonderful song and you sing it beautifully, but the part I like best is you superb piano playing. You add dynamics and accents in just the right places and smoothly play through all moving lines.
Thanks
Bill [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Bill &mdash 03/08/08 - 07:12:31 PM
I am happy you liked it. I appreciate the kind comments and find it interesting about the piano comment. I wish I really "could" play. I make stuff up, but I cannot play worth a flip with a sheet of music in front of me. I have a lot to learn. If only I had paid better attention when I was 4! :)
Thanks for the visit Bill! [ Reply to This ]
somber &mdash 03/11/08 - 10:20:52 PM
such feeling
not what i expected
but the broken heart never really is mended cause songs like this let the scar tissue feel again
ouch
peace
great song by the way
i love the over all sound
Reminds me of an old Elton J song
'The First Episode at Hienton'
from Elton John(Album Name) [ Reply to This ]
lol unexpected ..... &mdash 03/12/08 - 10:08:42 PM
Well I think a lot of folks did not expect this one and I keep getting emails asking if I am ok. I have never attempted to write a song like this before, that I can remember, so it was new to me as well. :) I appreciate the listen and kind comments Tim. Thank you. [ Reply to This ]

WOW...what a nice comment. Thanks for taking the time to listen and so happy you liked it. You made my day. [ Reply to This ]
Very Nice &mdash 03/16/08 - 12:30:24 PM
I really like this song. But I do wish your voice was more forward in the mix. I would really like to hear less reverb as well. You have a very nice voice and I kind of loose it in all the verb.
I think the piano supports your voice really well, and I really like the changes. [ Reply to This ]
I agree &mdash 03/16/08 - 05:16:46 PM
I am still learning how to use my equipment and I messed this one up with the reverb and did not know how to fix it. I do now :) I am glad you liked the song and so glad you came by. I love your music so I am honored to have you take a listen. Thanks so much. [ Reply to This ]
I &mdash 03/17/08 - 05:39:06 PM

.. &mdash 03/23/08 - 08:57:08 AM
love the interweaving melodies and flowing lines.When your voice soars high up there its really movin - sounds like a bit of a wild cry from the heart,bit wolfish if u ask me..beautiful & very creative.At the moment I'm finding falling in l*** almost as painful as falling out - so this speaks to me too! Cheers - Rich [ Reply to This ]
aww Rich &mdash 03/24/08 - 08:53:53 AM
Sorry to hear about the pains of love going on in your life. That is no fun. But hey, where would we be without it? With your talent and nice personality, you need not worry. It will all work out. :)
I am so happy you came by and listened. Thanks so much for the sweet compliments. (So you think I howl like a wolf huh? LOL. Thanks I think.) I am kidding....You have great talent and I enjoy your music very much. Appreciate the visit. [ Reply to This ]
really pretty &mdash 03/26/08 - 09:27:26 AM
i think i need to listen to this with headphones or on my other computer cuz it sounds really pretty but my speakers won't go loud enough to hear it as well as i'd like. a sad song with piano is always worth listening to in my book. [ Reply to This ]

Very nice song!

I really appreciate such kind comments. I am not very good at recording skills. I just cannot seem to get it right. I keep trying though cause I love music so much. One of these days when Im about 70, maybe I will succeed. :) Thank you for listening, it means alot to me! Glad you like the song [ Reply to This ]
Sometimes... &mdash 04/05/08 - 01:45:49 PM
When you least expect it inexperience can add to the over all feel of a piece. This is beautiful and should be left as is. It has a feel and color (production wise) that actually adds to the over all appeal of the piece. I love this song and the way it sounds and makes me feel when I hear it. It has a Cowboy Junkies feel to it. I am referring to their second album recorded with one mic in the Holy Trinity church in Toronto. Gail this is an outstanding piece of art. Having no preconceived ideas about how to record is sometimes a blessing and this song proves that. [ Reply to This ]
Wow thanks! &mdash 04/06/08 - 08:46:47 AM
Your kind comments blow me away. Thank you so much. You made my day. I have so much to learn here but you made me feel better about that. Truly, I never know what to expect once I post a song and I am humbled by the positive responses. I always hope for the best but have grown up expecting the worst. I am glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to listen. Best to you and yours. [ Reply to This ]
thororoughly enjoyed &mdash 04/22/08 - 04:40:55 PM
as always.You are truly talented.I am sorry I havent been by earlier. I have been so busy lately and could not do anything musically.Wonderful.
