    Thankyou for providing the link to the song.When I read a change is coming my mind went to Otis Redding and a change is gonna come,as usual, was off tangent! Liked everything about the melody,the bluesy/soul feel and especially the harmonica but oh my, each time she sings the word "I" the first half of the drawn out note is flatter and as dismal as a yorkshire pudding that hasn't risen ( am standing in for Sharon Osborne lol ) Good luck with the contest. Bookmarked

    WOW

    This song is a new one on me but what a haunting melody. I am going to give this some serious thought and see if the music can inspire me. Val

    Was it Henry Ford who said "the only constant thing in life is change"? A haunting song which reminded me of my trip up to the Kalahari desert in September last year..

    Great theme for this contest, Gilly.

    I went to Phoenix last Summer and the scene in the picture and the video enchanted me. For you to add this song with all that and this contest shares with us the heart of a true romantic. I love this and am bookmarking it to be sure to come back. Loved this, all of this Gil! Your author page is stunning as well! Love your mood!


    Much Love ♥
