Still writing songs for that imaginary album. As always forgive my fumbling about, though I did have fun. Another simple premise: remember what you have before you go throwing it away. In verse 1- his best friend is complaining about his marriage. In verse 2- the wife of his best friend is complaining about their marriage. In verse 3- He shares how he was saved by some sage advice. From whom, you ask... well,as a crazed Hamlet once said, "There's the rub". Point of notice: He starts the 3rd verse telling the story in past tense and ends it in present tense... tried to emphasize the point by using tonight, instead of one night or that night or a night. Turn Around (audio) ...............(video)

Heck, the post introduction was worth the visit alone starting with that simple premise.
We watched the vid and went back for another listen with just the audio. It looks and sounds great. Like mr jane said "excellent write....nicely performed." And as long as we're quoting him, "well done."
The word that comes to mind for us is "engaging." It just begs another listen.
Thanks for posting.

You're so talented, Mr. Nelson! I could listen to you sing all day long. Where can I get that imaginary album??? Video was super cool also, wish I could do that! Can I hire you as a videographer? I'm just a huge fan of what you do in all facets of creativity. Superb! -TK

So good! When is that Simple Man album going to be releases cause I'm buying. Loved this tune, especially the transition into the chorus when the piano kicks in. Also loved the wonder effects . All in their proper place and extremely well done.

Nelson,
I liked this a lot, cool write, cool lyrics/music/arrangement. But mostly, these chord progressions are dynamite! No nits here.

Hi Nelson,
This is fine writing, and I like your sound, too. I think your chorus could be tightened up a little. It feels like maybe the piano is going out-of-sync with the vocals at times. Otherwise, no nits.

Dave Hey I appreciate that Dave. As you know I'm no pie-anna man but I wanted a certain energy and I just put the chorus section on loop and just kept bangin around the keys until I got close to what I was hearing in my head. I don't see how folks play that damn thing but I do love its sound. Hey man you rock... UR latest performances are smokin.

Hi Mister Nelson:
My friends all accuse me of being older than Admiral Nelson... but I really liked this song. Your site is pretty spiffy, too!
Forgive me, I did not watch the video... just one of my quirks when listening to music... I'm into the words, melody and vocal and moving things seem to distract me. (Wonder if I had Attention Deficit Disorder when I was a kid?)
Anyway... you scored about a dozen touchdowns with this song. Don't you wish Satchmo was still around to sing this thing? He was always one of my favorites... and you are gaining on him!
All the best... and thanks for sharing...
----Dave

I have just been thinking about you...I was missing your voice...so happy to hear you, I was needing a dose of your vocal soul....I love your song...and really like the nice change up for the chorus...just so happy to hear your voice...it is so calming to me...but how do we make the cd a reality...I don't want it to be imaginary....I've been wanting one for so long...

Excellent write and recording. You are the consummate story teller and performer -- and now you have added video production to your list of talents.
Get that CD done this month and mail it off to Brian to include in the awards thingy. I plan on doing the same with my "mythical" CD -- whether it is really done or not!!
Love your tunes, keep doing what you are doing!

Mike You're right about that. Creating it was tough enough but trying to play that part was way above my pay grade. I'll take another swing at it, on the next go round. Appreciate you stopping by.
