Lyrics

TRUE LOVE REAL LOVE (c) Dennis Makepeace
He has a box that he keeps on a shelf ,
Full of photos and letters and memories of times that have been, Pictures of places that they used to go,
Smiling young faces from times long ago,
Look out from the pages he takes out time and again
A night at a dance, beginning romance,
Taking a chance, looking for true true love,real real love, She keeps a lock of his hair by her pillow, Enclosed in a necklace he gave her when she was sixteen, The bed seems much bigger, the nights seem so long,
Why did they break up? their love was so strong,
Now she's alone, it's breaking her heart once again
She's trying to hide, she feels winter inside
Just one more try, looking for true true love,real real love

This is such a beautiful song. The vocals are clear and beautiful, and come through as very honest. The guitar work is skillfully done and interesting to listen to, especially the dissonant chording. I love the word pictures. Great storytelling. The lock of his hair by her pillow. So much to visualize as I listened.

Nice ! A most enjoyable listen , thank you .

Interesting choice of chords, particularly in-between the verses and chorus. Guitar work is very good, clean, tasteful, better than average. The song sounds like something John Denver might have sung. I like the harmonies in the chorus. I think the song has commercial potential. Please see my constructive comments.

Very nice song. Very STRONG song that stands on it's own. Very solid and unique images backing a common story but lifting it above a common-place presentation. Nice voice that wavers just a bit, but that is expected in a solo, vocal-guitar recording. Really nice timber to the singer's voice. The guitar work and progressions are well-played and presented. All in all, a really enjoyable experience. Thanks for sharing.

This nice song carried me way down the river. i liked the distinct guitar, vocals, all---------------nice work.



Keep that Mo'jo Workin=============catnip

Wonderful guitar work, featured very heavily. I envy people who can play consistently well like that - I can't. My feeling is that the song itself came second to the guitar work which seemed a pity. The mixing seemed to keep the guitar in the foreground and the voice way in the back somewhere. To my mind, no matter how good the guitar is, it is nonetheless an accompaniment. One hopes that the words are sufficiently important to be the song's reason for being. Otherwise perhaps one should make it into an instrumental piece.

nice folk ballad liked the guitar sound and vocal.
very traditional folk, sweet song

I heard a harmony....Guitar was well played....I was surprised that it was over and it was over 3 minutes....that is a good thing, means I was listening to the story...well done

Nice feel to the song, very relaxing

The song has a very nice feel. Excellent voice that works very well with this song. Beautiful lyrics. Nice guitar work tastefully played. A very nice work.

Nice lyrics!

I like this a lot. The music is wonderful, the voice is nice and vulnerable.

The recording of the guitar is quality and the vocalist is the two part harmony is nicely done.

A very nice sweet song about what we all are looking for...it sounds like two sad people who really didn't have to be sad if they had stayed together...Vocal is believable and conveys the point very well. Guitar work solid...an excellent song for the Folk genre.

Beautiful guitar work. Nice vocal performance. Pretty melody. Nice song.
