Here's a simple folk song. Done with the MAC version of BIAB/RT. Hope you enjoy - thanks for listening. Bob http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10095276"Calling Mary" Starlight through a window Reflections in the night Desperation on TV And ill-fated flights Never mind the prayer books Confessions to get right Looking for an answer Calling Mary tonight Grieving to feel better Passages in our lives Some keep looking for Jesus Or look to see the light Giving up the smokes The bottle and the ice Asking for some comfort Calling Mary tonight Sunday school sermons The Bible and the belt Sometimes you're the dealer Sometimes you just get dealt Crosses made of silver Gold and the like There's no direct line Calling Mary tonight Possessions and positions In life that's what we seek Revelations become fewer Some don't look before they leap Get down on your knees In the evenings fading light Hear the thunder in the distance Calling Mary tonight

Hi Bob,
Altho I'm not Catholic so praying to Mary is not what I do, you've written a thoughtful song with engaging lyrics, good vocal and the music arrangement is really nice.

Hi Bob,
Your lyrics really resonated with me. You've got some mighty powerful words and images in there. Coupling these with your haunting voice and the equally haunting musical setting, your song really made me think. I couldn't have stopped myself if I tried.
I really like your style of music.
Best regards,
Noel

I think I can see where you were going vocally with this song, but it kinda fell flat. I mean liteerally you started flat. You pulled together but? Hey ignore me, I'm no pro like I said I see where you were going with it and the vocal style gets you there.
Now to the spirit of the song, it confuses me a bit.
"some keep looking for Jesus" I think that is the way Mary would want it, isn't it? Mary would point the way but she would want you to know her son.
"there is no direct line"? are you saying you can't talk to the man himself?

Hi, Bob. The music's not really my style, so there's not much to say there, other than it's my own loss. But I love your writing. You've got a very poetic style that's evocative, but vague enough in the right places to be thought provoking. Thanks for posting!

Hi Bob,
Music is such a wonderful medium for heartfelt devotion.
A lovely song of request for our Lady's petitions.
Keep composing.

This is not the type of music I normally listen to, but I learned a very long time ago that there are only two kinds of music, good music and bad music, and this is very good indeed IMHO! Love the vocal, very emotive, and great job on the track too! Much respect
