This Song is a Little Different
I wrote this song about 4 years ago and began a recording of it with Bob Elliott, but we ran out of time and just kind of forgot about it until recently when I just happened to find the file of the unfinished song. So I took the original as a template and just embellished it. Every section is arranged a little differently so you never can tell what's going to happen next. I hope it's full of surprises. The lyrics are kind of a stream of consciousness contemplating something my wife said. Every line in the song is only 4 syllables long.

I hope it's nice on the ears:

Something You Said

Strawberry Fields meets the Magical Mystery Tour in the musical imagination of Tom O’Brien, our resident visionary. He consistently pushes the envelope with every song. I’ve really enjoyed his musical and lyrical evolution over the years. The production and construction of this song is epic like a movie about a dream. Every detail is special and unique.

Thanks, Laree - I'll have to check out Love - I'm not familiar with them.

And, Richard, It's discerning listeners like yourself who keep me trying to make quality music. Thanks for your support and kind words through the years.
