JUST A WORD

It's easier said than done,
We all need someone.
It's rewarding, but there's a price,
If we get it right, it can be so nice.

chorus
Love ain't just a word you can toss around,
It can lift you up, but it can let you down.
It's more than everything you've heard,
Love ain't just a word.

If you feel it, you will surely know,
When you love someone, you can let them go.
It won't kill ya but it might leave a scar,
You'll still have plenty of love in your heart.

chorus
Love ain't just a word you can toss around,
It can lift you up, but it can let you down.
It's more than everything you've heard,
Love ain't just a word.

bridge
It's more than just some letters from the alphabet.
See it, say it, feel it, live it, without regret.

chorus
Love ain't just a word you can toss around,
It can lift you up, but it can let you down.
It's more than everything you've heard,
Love ain't just a word.

I love the vocals, very unique. The instrumentation is really nice. The arrangement is right on. The mix works for me! I think you have your own style going on here which is really nice. I like things that are new and hard to compare to anyone else. You nailed it!!! Keep up the good work!!! Your style is nice.

Guitar sounded great in the beginning. Had a really Jerry Garcia feel, which I love. The vocalist is very sultry, I love the playful nature and unique phrasing. Great hook, I love the lyrics throughout. The vocalist is so singular I had trouble focusing on anything else, but the recording was excellent, great levels all around. Bass line plays well with the drums and drives the song.

Wonderful voice and feeling - very engaging, melodic, playful, charming. To me this is more in the field of jazzy blues late-night music than contemporary folk but who cares? It's excellent and this artist deserves to be heard.

I would call this song Pop rather than Folk. The lyrics are sweet and even wise, but unlike folk it doesn't tell a story. The good advice on love is repeated several times. A very pretty, pleasant song, and the drummer does not drown out the vocals, as often is the case. Nice lilting voice, I like it a lot.

very nice voice. The arrangement is very appropriate for the song. The lyrics flow smoothly with a nice cadence and phrasing. The instruments are well played and supportive. The recording is clean and well balanced. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great song!! well written and wonderfully performed. Strong melody with subtle harmony, really good laid back feel both instrumentally and vocally. Loved this,it grabbed me from the first bar and kept me glued to the last note, thanks a lot.

Nicely laid-back jazzy folky song, great playing and a gorgeous vocal. It's pretty much perfect, very well performed and recorded.
