From a review by Mark Taylor of Simply Pop Music: A work of art!!! If this doesn't make you stop and listen, then nothing will. Lyrics weave a story that grabs attention from the opening, the beautifully haunting voice of Abby London fits perfectly. This is a well crafted song, a work of such beauty that deserves to be a massive hit. Dim the lights, put those earphones on and enjoy. Abby London, vocals David Nyro, Piano, keys, producer Colin Isler, cello Jakael Tristram, keys, engineer, producer Sean Lane, drums, bike percussion Marc Miller, bass

Another mostly autobiographical song that's also universal. I'm pretty much the man in the window, revisiting a place where the love of my life, now lost and gone and with another, and I courted. It was "our place." I'm sure we weren't the first, nor will we be the last, to claim a spot as "ours." Hence, the "Happy Couple" who replace the lone lover to conclude the song. The circle of love, and life, continues, right? Thank you for listening. Hope it touches you in some way. Abby London, who sings the song, more than did justice to my song and all the meaning, feeling, and history behind it. Thank you, Abby!

The Man in the Window © 2017 By David Nyro See the man in the window, nursing his drink, with the far-away look in his eyes See the man take a swallow There’s a hard blink, he’s choking back something he finally must realize He gave her everything, everything he had to give She was in love with her love, but never in love with the man How do we measure, measure a love a love that can never be measured This was their place, he found his grace She only saw his disgrace See the man in the window, wiping his face with his sleeve as he slowly gets up to leave See the man with no tomorrow Throws a bill on the table and kisses his life good – bye He gave her everything Everything he had inside She didn’t like all he showed her And she was the one to decide How do we measure, measure a love, a love that can never be measured He found his place Found divine grace She only saw his sad face See the happy couple in the window Look at their faces This is “their” place This is their time to glow . . . x
