A Time and a Place
This song is about allowing love to find you if you just keep looking long enough – there’s a time and a place for everyone.
Please excuse the huge exhalation of breath at the end…I had to come home early from feeling ill (didn’t waste the day – managed to turn a song out)
Hi Simon, some neat picking going on here, and you have some interesting metaphors in the lyrics. Hope you’re feeling better.
Cheers.
Thanks Phil – definitely on the mend now (enough to go back to work today).
Lovely song with strong lyrics.
Thank you Stephen – much appreciated
Simon, I enjoyed a second listen and have just repeated what I said on Facebook just to acknowledge this song on this website. It is really lovely – one of my favourites so far – I loved the lyrics – the lyrics and the analogies of thermals of hope and climbing mountains without any rope. The raw honest sentiment came through and was very touching. I loved the guitar picking style which plenty of focus and space to focus on the lyrics and energy of the song. Well done.
Some fabulous lilting phrasing in there. That’s a real stand out feature for me. Poignant lyrics and a pleasing melody. Very nice
Thanks Louise..thanks Catherine
Not sure how intentional the ‘phrasing’ was and the guitar picking is very spontaneous as I’m still learning how to play the guitar (I got lucky this time). But the words are definitely from the heart and reflect my own experiences so I’ll claim the praise for that bit! Thanks again
what a wonderfully optimistic song Simon
Absolutely love this Simon. That minor chord on the repeat of “time and a place” grabs me and the lyrics are fabulous. Well done.
Thanks Scott! That could well be the first time I have ever been associated with optimism….I’ll have to have a think
You are so kind Becs – it means a lot coming from such an accomplished artist as yourself
Great stuff Simon – a beauty of a song. Love the guitar work.
Mr Fumble Fingers was off that day – thanks so much Alan
Love this,Simon. Proof that a good song doesn’t need dressing up. Good all round.
Simon, I loved this song. It is poignant and heartfelt and so sensitvely performed. Just beautiful.
As I commented on Facebook, Simon, you really touched my heart with this song. The lyrics are beautiful & the stripped-back performance adds to the effect. Thank you for sharing. Xx
The introspective, conversational tone of the lyric is effective and complemented by the spacious guitar work. Good work Simon!
