Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the song. Initial impressions are good. It reminds me of something. It's a bit like another LC tune. It also reminds me a little of Lee Marvin's I Was Born Under A Wanderin' Star. And, for the avoidance of doubt, that is intended to be a compliment :D .

See if you agree:

I think this is a fine song. I do hope that it will be recorded with the band, and not with the synth. And Lets have a violin on it, or a ben webster alike tenor sax

This was posted elsewhere in the forum so I can't take any credit for it, but Lullaby from the April 3 Grand Prairie concert went online at YouTube yesterday:

It's 1807 on Easter Day, Sunday 12 April, and it's gone ... just four and a half hours after IrishMar alerted us. :cry:

Thanks. I'm listening to it now. Must have been a bad connection first time.

I remember it as a number one when I was six or seven. My grandmother took my brothers & I to the cinema to see the movie assuming it would be a light cowboy musical rather than a tale of two drifter golddiggers in love with & shacked up with the same woman. Great film, superb song. Not a million miles from famous blue raincoat. Deservedly number one.

Hello friends,

I'm just listening to the song and think the first stanza of this wonderful lyrics reads:

"I can't break the code
of our frozen love
It's too late to know
what the password was"

Cheers
Marta
