Hi folks, I hope you are all safe and well. It's been a long time since I posted here, and I'm still so grateful to this community helping me through the songs on my first album. I've released a song dedicated to the victims of COVID-19. I wrote this song in 2016 and started recording it in January. The song started to take on new meaning for me as the coronavirus situation developed. https://apricothill.bandcamp.com/track/garden-spellGarden Spell I done broke your garden spell I’ve unloosed your chains as well Now I see what’s beyond this green and verdant cell I cast off your marble stone That’s kept me cold here and alone Now I see what’s revealed in this garden overgrown I heard a song within the moonlight It carried on into the twilight Stone and chains fell away as I began to sing along I done broke your garden spell I’ve unloosed your chains as well Now I’m free but do I leave or do I tend this garden well I done broke your garden spell (repeat) ..ant [UPDATE August 23] This song is included on my newly released album Rhythms Of Life, a meditation in song on the healing power of music in turbulent times. https://apricothill.bandcamp.com/album/rhythms-of-life

Ant,
So good to see you back here . . . totally love what you bring. Here, just a killer, very rich vocal with terrific supporting guitar work. Lovely melody, and such a soft touch on the vocal. Poetic and poignant lyrics. Beautiful work . . . loved it!
My best to you,
Deej

Just beautiful. Best thing I have heard for quite some time. Love the easy almost conversational tone of the vocal and the subtle picking of that acoustic and the bass line the acoustic plays throughout. Perfect accompaniment. Just terrific.

Beautiful melody, guitar, vocal, & LYRIC
This is how you write a song leaving the LYRIC open to interpretation...

Thank you Steve. Took me a while to respond since I was heads-down finishing up my new album that this track is on. Finally released and added a link to the original post.

Ant--
Basic and complex emotions runing through this melodic story, they seem so real--A little passion shows us the truth!
A top shelf production! Write on!

Hi Ant:
Welcome home. "Garden Spell" asks more questions to my emotional self than it answers... but it sure made me hang on to every word, note and line. Your vocal is capable of carrying the song on it's own... but the production you chose was spot-on. Really enjoyed my listen. My curiosity creeps into the equation with a serious wish to know the name of the writer/vocalist/arranger of this winner!
Sorry I'm late but my other pursuits are too darn demanding... and time continues to fly.
Best wishes in your musical journey. ----Dave
