Bricks
Very short! I’m still struggling to shake off Covid in my voice.
My take on this is that Home is more important than House – that we, as individuals, families and friends, are the bricks that build community. This is on my mind because we are privileged to be able to home a Ukrainian guest right now. The loss of lives and buildings doesn’t mean that she does not have a home anymore, just that she does not have a house. More than that, we have entered the lives of her family too…we are all bricks in this particular house of solidarity and friendship.
I enjoyed this Simon, thought your vocal and song had a touch of Neil Finn about it and I loved the sentiment and the arrangement..that’s so good that you’re helping someone from Ukraine.
Neil Finn! Last time it was Sting – exalted company indeed!!! As long as next month it’s not Joe Pasquale I’ll be happy. Xx
Haha! Maybe it’s the magic of covid?!
Hope you shift the after effects soon and can get back to normal!
Hi Simon, hope you’re over Covid, your voice sounds good to me, as does the song. The melody is really catchy, and the message is spot on. Nice one.
Thanks Phil – very kind
Covid or not I thought you sounded really good. Strong song nicely arranged.
Thanks Stephen – maybe I should be I’ll more often?!
Lovely song with a lovely message
Thanks Kris – much appreciated
I can hear the Neil Finn influence too, sounds good!
Thanks Paul, I do play some Neil Finn numbers occasionally – its funny how influences manage to seep into your own work without conscious effort. I guess its really important to copy really good artists in the first place!
Nice creative arrangement Simon. What a beautiful theme too.
There’s a generous, positive feel to this song, Simon. I particularly love when you introduced the pulsing drum beats; in fact I wanted a little more of that.
Thanks Suzanne – great observations, I will act upon them.
I always enjoy your songs Simon and this is uplifting and tuneful. Just wish it was a bit longer……
Enjoyed that, more please!!!
Great stuff Simon. I would love to hear a full version when you’re Covid free. Lovely little taster though
Loving this, Simon.
Thanks very much Ian – makes me feel good to hear that.
Top song Simon. Really great feel.
Hey Alan! Ta muchly (as they say up North)
I really love this, and your voice sounds great.
