I Write The Songs #107 – Chris Rea

I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
It’s getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Don’t point your dream on my horizon
Don’t take your rose too far from home
Please don’t forget we’re not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own

Chris Rea

   how appropriate are the background whistlers in this Minnie Ripperton’s classic. birds all other whistlers
4. Simon Mayor has a whole Mandolin album and I was lucky enough to receive it so I had to play it. I know that it is not necessarly to all’s taste and the folkiness of even the classic is intimidating but it is worth a listen. I particularly enjoyed the instrumental of Vivaldi’s Concerto for Mandolin
