Tex,It seems that you are in a mood to reflect-backI liked your last one so much that I put on headphones to hear this one.Compelling question to ask a listener, that would cause many to think back about their own past.Wonderful song. You enhance this site.

Quote from: popitup on 15 Jun, 2026 19:59This is a really great listen, certainly has that Smooth Operator vibe, and then some. The lyrics have a sense of fun about them as well, and kind of transported me back to the 80's club scene . . . back to a time when 4 minutes 30 seconds was the norm. Yes, I stayed 'til the end, and enjoyed it all very much !PopItUp, thank you! I'm especially pleased that you picked up on the Smooth Operator vibe, because that song was definitely part of the inspiration behind this one.I also got a chuckle out of your comment about the 4:30 running time. You're right - there was a time when nobody thought twice about a song taking its time to tell a story or create a mood.Most of all, I'm glad the song transported you somewhere and kept you listening all the way to the end. That's about the best compliment a songwriter can receive.Thanks for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts.

Tex,This one is very emotional. Very! I like the theme: how it explores the bittersweet nostalgia of a past love that was beautiful but ultimately destined to end. The emotional turning point occurs during the bridge, where the singer transitions from questioning his former partner to offering his own vulnerable confession. In the final chorus, I like how the vocalist declares that he would willingly relive every moment of heartbreak all over again. The music and vocals are a perfect fit.

I really like this tune-vocals, music, and lyrics all work well together. The line ‘Sometimes your lips smile but your eyes don’t’ really stood out to me, and I found myself wanting more of that kind of imagery throughout the song. It made the emotion feel more immediate and visual. I think the song could be even stronger if it leaned a bit more into those kinds of specific, observational moments alongside the more general emotional lines.  Again, I really enjoyed listening.
