Good for at least one song a year, I worked mostly after the children entered their gateway to sleep. With great honor, I enlisted my writer wife, Mary Petrie, to add some lines to the great beginnings Adam provided. They meshed well, the song sang like butter, and I kept it simple with guitar and vocals with me doing my own back up. Here it is, with a feeling of sadness and hope.

Awesome! Great job John and Mary.

*laughing at Mary's comment* That's pretty sweet.

You guys sounded like you enjoyed the process not only in your notes, but in the song. Creating the sound of both sadness and hope isn't simple, but a simple delivery, often ... well... delivers it. You did that. Nice, twilight sound.

Great song. I love the harmonies. I love the thought, "Love's going to solve all my problems." It's sweet and sad.

My wife and I really dug this. I agree with Bob, love the main line of the song.
