I LOVE the violin strings, it reminds me very well the snowflakes falling down, with various intensity/waves.

WOW!....thank you Woodsman...it's been a while since i spontaneously wept...Thank you! I needed that. Having grown up and worked on and around small farms, the sight of an abandoned farm always bums me out...its like looking at the corpse of a fond memory...
(BTW the whole album is great)
What makes a house grand
Ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house
It's a palace for sure
Without love...
It ain't nothin but a house
A house where nobody lives
Timótheos said:Indeed it is! I have been fortunate to see David Francey play live on two separate occasions, once at a folk festival and the other time in a small 100 person theatre in my home town. Born in Scotland and moved to Canada at the age of 12, he always likes to tell the story of how his music career started at the age of 45. Working as a carpenter on construction sites, he would often sing simple melodies out loud to pass the time, and at the persistent urging of his work mates reluctantly went to an open stage one night. 11 albums and numerous folk music awards later, the rest as they say is history. :)
Anyway, the song above - Torn Screen Door, reminds of another song about empty and abandoned houses that contains this lyrical gem...
What makes a house grand
Ain't the roof or the doors

Without love...
