    • This had me moving. The riff is good, and the music went well with it.

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. You’re an incredible lyricist my friend. Your arrangements always fit your words tightly. Excellent work.. Appreciate you.

    • Oh Lordy! You’ve done it again.
      It’s like you know what melody/hook to use depending on the tone of the lyrics.
      Where to emphasize your message. I listened to this when you posted but didn’t know how to reply.
      I was at a loss of words! That is rare! Hahaha
      Much respect chica!
      Keep killing it!

      • Thank you Adelphina! It’s a lot of trial and error but I warms my heart to hear people appreciate it. I’ll keep at it and hope to keep improving along the way. Have a wonderful day!

    • Thank you! ❤️

    • You’re a beast at this thing Lady, to freaking Tight

    • This i awesome. I somehow talked Fia into getting a Spoken Word group going (actually, I kind of bamboozled her into it). HER wants to join and she suggested we get Willow and you as well. After listening to this, I feel really out of my league. I’m a lifelong entertainer, but mostly in theater. When I started writing for performance, I had no music, just me, so that’s what I’ve been doing. But you would bring some real class to the group, and if we do this right, we can build something outstanding for all of us. Interested?

    • Hey, what happened to the audio? I sent a link to this page to a friend and he told me no song was here, so I came back — and it’s gone! Please put it back.

      • Apparently because of an update on the site, all audio on all posts got removed sadly. I hope I have time tomorrow to upload the audio again on all my songs.

        In the meantime you can listen to the songs on my YouTube channel if you’d like: youtube.com/@Drieks

        • That I would like. So tell me, would you like to join the Spoken Word Group? You would be a very welcome member, and I think we can all benefit from each other.

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. Into the book it belongs! Excellent lyrics my friend, your work is so authentic and direct. I’m truly a fan, good musical choice as well. The piano added the proper element to your words. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you Damian. I always love reading your thoughts on my work. Appreciate you!

    • I love a good piano song. This feels very intimate and un-rushed.
      It has a great tempo too. There are not a lot of distractions either. Just a voice and a piano.
      Just wonderful:)

    • Adelphina was raving about this to me earlier, so I had to check it out. And it’s really good! Not syrupy or overdone. It’s catchy and very entertaining. Awesome job with it.

      • Thank you for your kind words Styxian. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it!

    • Drieks, I smiled the whole way through listening to this. This was sad but catchy.

    • I man…damn. This is incredibly well done!

    • Thank you so much for your kind words!
      If only it was my own voice… Can’t take credit for that.

    • We’ve kept up wit your musical success through mutual friends, and we’re truly happy for you. You’re not only creating great poetry but also great songs. Tight

    • Great song. I loved the piano and the strength of the vocals. Well done!

    • Wow. Just wow! Another incredible piece. You are doing marvelous work, my friend. This is truly outstanding. Beautiful words, lovely music and all of it rendered with class. I am so glad that HER said I must talk to you. I would very much like to do that.
