“Though I cannot hold your hand, your touch is everywhere,” wonderful lines. Very moving lyrics and a lovely melody.
The stand out for me is the harmony running right through the song, it gives it an unearthly feel. Beautiful lyrics
Much appreciate your sentiments Nicky!
Nice and touching lament. Great performance!
Cheers Martin!
So very touching and true. The arrangement supports that feeling of one’s heart being between the worlds. Beautiful, beautiful song.
Thankyou Helene! Really glad you liked it!
Sublime
A nice comment Richard! Commensurate with your song I would hope!
Loved the line “though I cannot hold your hand, your touch is everywhere.” Touching son and performance.
It is one of my favourite lines also Melissa! We have good taste!
Appreciate you taking the time!
Some really great lyrics here! And a coupe of times I got an Enya vibe – which is a good thing…
Nice of you to say, Walter! Many have alluded to a Celtic undertone.
beautiful vibe here! well done
Lovely song Jim and really well produced. We’ll done mate. Who did you get to sing?
Hi Bob, Kimberley Dunn, Who is Ottawa’s Foremost Entertainer, Piano, singing, Recording, Weddings, Funerals etc.
She is a lovely, beautiful person who sings like an Angel!
She liked, “The Promise” so much because of its Lyrics being so relevant that she has it on her site to offer clients at End of Life Ceremonies. Look up “Kimberley Dunn music” and you will see my song alongside five Classics ( You Raise me Up, Ave Maria, Wonderful World, Hallelujah, in her Funeral choices.
Unfortunately for me, she has decided she is concentrating on her own music ( she has released her own Album) and on her Weddings and Official and Private Functions which are more Lucrative! Shame!
Beautiful song. The imagery is very powerful and keeps pulling the viewer/listener in. The piano keeps things moving and flowing…and the harmony is divine
Hi Linda, really appreciate a talented lady’s nice review.
Very, very nicely done. Beautiful song.
Thanks Martin! If iPad stops acting up I can hear your song!
I wonder how the song would have felt if you had sung it yourself Jim? Is that you playing the piano? Kimberly (Dido’s sister?) has done a fine job here yet I would be more interested to hear your original version which I’m sure would contain a more convincing depth of presentation? Great words & melodies.
I’m afraid I am not a good singer Christopher! Can’t be good at everything!
I write the Lyrics and the Music!
Elton only creates the Music! Bernie writes the Lyrics!
Kimberley sings it well, I agree! Who is Dido?
Really lovely. Great work!
Nice of you Ian!
Beautiful song, carried by the lilting waltz-time accompaniment. Great words, but I also think it would make a good instrumental waltz to dance to!
Hi Mike, I agree with you on the waltz sound. Thanks for a nice review!
If you give me your email I’ll drop you something!
What a beautiful song Jim, thank you for sharing it.
Cheers Jayne! I really enjoyed your lovely song also, and you sang it as well!
You are indeed talented!
Just beautiful!
That’s really nice of you to say Ann!
Thanks!
I will look out for your song tomorrow!
Beautiful. If you get to do this as the winner I’d be curious to try with less processing on the vocal for a more intimate sound that to me, the lyrics call for.
I’m always open to suggestions to improve my songs Lealiza.
Thanks for sensible advice!
