Long time no see but some of you may remember, Mike LeBlanc on here. Well he sent me a lyric recently which I changed a little and put a vocal, melody & some tracks to it. Both of us like to do sombre so was a pleasure to do. Maybe you could be so kind to give us your opinion https://on.soundcloud.com/24z5PA Graveside Flower © 2023 Mike LeBlanc & Vic Arnold I've learned to laugh through the pain Only cry in the rain On a wish and a prayer let my life not go to waste I've learned to roll with the ages As I turn my life's pages While I am well aware I've reached the final stage And as my life comes full circle, I close my eyes My soul now possesses all the power And onward to that kingdom I know of in the skies And for you I'll leave behind a graveside flower For you I'll leave behind a graveside flower I've done the best that I could do Maybe not all I needed to My trials and tribulations now are done I've found the light in the darkness To shine when I felt hopeless I've seen my revelation and my heart and soul are one And as my life comes full circle I close my eyes My soul now possesses all the power And onward to that kingdom I know of in the skies And for you I leave behind a graveside flower For you I leave behind a graveside flower

There is a lot to like about this song
Really nice opening ...
great production...reminds me of Alison Krauss & Union Station
Excellent lyric
Perfect voice for the song's concept
Needs to get on the radio

Cool song man

Only in small pockets, Japov.
Not enough of that type of musician to go around.

Love it. A real Bluegrass feel to this. The kind of stuff I hear a lot round here. I particularly like the fiddle fills between vocal phrases.

Hi Vic,
I've listened to this song a couple of times now and honestly, I think there is not much that can be improved. You really nailed it. The instrumentation, the vocals, the songwriting... everything sounds so good. The melody and some of the lines get stuck in your ears the more often you hear it. Well done!
