WOW -- what a wonderful song with incredible vocals and lyrics. The song title is so intriguing in that I wish I could wakeup to the love of my life. At 62 years old, I have decided that it is my cat.

Whoever said the love of your life had to be a man? My cats are my loves. The man passed away 10 years ago ❤

@@lds22466 AMEN to that!!!

This new release popped up on my Spotify Release Radar playlist! Right between St Vincent - Broken Man and Pixies - Wild Honey Pie! That's pretty perfect.

the drum tone is so good. perfect snare. as always, Mary manages to make the song interesting, not just a pop cliche that slams on and fades out. we went somewhere here. great tune! thank you Miss Spender!! Mary Spender and Paramore drop this morning. dear diary, jackpot!

Wow!!! There's so many GREAT parts of this song. It's hard to point to anyone thing that stands above the rest, BUT the drum track is outstanding. It sorta reminds me of that Harry "dude" drummar guy I like so much. BUT, everything about production conveys the fresh exuberance of love and reminds me of all the wonderful excitement of love. Thank you.

A beautifully written and expertly produced song. A delight to listen to. 🇬🇧🌈♥️

Soulful silky and smooth. A beautiful retro jazz sound has a bit of the Joni touch. Great use of harmonies and subtle crescendo usage. Great Bass work, gluing together a driven shuffling Drum. A great song to fall into and escape from what’s left behind the door. You’ve journeyed a long way Mary since those Blues Duet days and it’s a journey well travelled and appreciated.

Great song writing! There's the overall laid back vibe which seems relaxing, then there's the underlying guitar and drums pulsing and moving it forward. Listen to the lyrics and there's a bit of sadness. Wow, all that in one song! 👍

Mary, you are great. Thanks!

Great song Mary you have so much talent...go get it girl you are perfect!!!

Holy moly this voice is like butterfly in my ears

So beautiful voice

I like this one. It has a jazzy, Sade, Nora Jones vibe.

Thanks Mary, I love the Album, ✌️and ❤

A song I will no doubt be listening to again.

Deep heart felt thanks to you Mary. What a fantastic song!! Light airy and wonderfully lyrical yet with a depth that reaches and speaks to the soul. 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🤘🎸🤘

What a fantastic mix! 🎤🎧📻🎸

I bought the album when it was first released. I really love it and One kept secret is my favorite. I'm proud to have a signed copy. Best wishes always to you Mary!

Oh, man… This one might be my favorite so far! Love the production and the melody 😊

This is great, I could listen to this song all day.

Loving this one!

Hi Mary,a beautiful composition beautifully arranged and sung🎼👏👏👏😀cheers Roly🇬🇧.

Lovely!

Love the overall vibe! Your guitar and bass work is captivating. Your understated vocals fit the song so well, especially during the chorus. Also, how could I neglect to mention that rolling snare? 🥰

Oh wow Mary, this is sooooooo good. Such a cool groove. Keep up the great work!

My favourite track of those I've heard so far for other album.

Wonderful! Thank you, Mary 🙏🏻🤍

Brilliant! Great song!

The perfect heartbreak song. Lyrics changed from Songbook version.

Besides all the other great aspects of this song, that drum beat stands out to me as the perfect fit for his song.

Another great song by a truly great artist!

Congratulations on such a smooth and beautiful composition. I love that your star is rising so. More power to you

Nice! I love the groove to the song.

Beautiful and Brilliant.

I’m loving this song ❤❤❤

You've really hit your stride. Everything you've been releasing is soooo good. Cheers

Mary, love your music and channel. This new song is so touching. Your talent and knowledge are amazing.

Awesome tune MAary. Really like the Mayeresque intro too. Use of vocal backing tracks is brilliant.

That is the perfect song for me today. I can't thank you enough! Just totally matches my mood. Makes me want to go back to bed and wake up with my wife beside me again.

Nice! Instantly like it and thats always a good sign for me as it normally takes a while for some songs to grow on me. Sometimes even decades lol.

A review does not have to be long; Very good, nice harmonies that "melts" inside my ear and and easy listening refrain that I I remember after hearing it only once. I hope that was not sounding negative?

Just aces, thank you Mary x

Sounds great!

Whoa!'😳🎼🎸 🏆

Nice job! Have you ever recorded any Celtic songs? Your voice and style would be perfectly suited for that genre.

Mary, only 👍

Beautiful, this voice!

I just love this.

Beautifully done!

Not even a genre that I generally listen to, but still played it twice. Because of a recent video of yours, just last night I got my acoustic out. It was put away in the summer due to 'reasons'. I will never be good, or even proficient, but had more fun than should rightly expect.

Wonderful song and arrangement.Best snares since Paul Simon's 50 ways and perfect contrast song.Should be programmed into your alarm a most delightful way to wake up.

Mary!!! Simply FANTASTIC!!! Vocals, guitars, did I say choir of vocals? I am a 65 yo yank and you are an inspiration. Love the newsletter.

Love this, Mary!

Lovely rhythm!

wonderful!

Love it!

Congrats !!

Listened to this first thing this morning on spotify.. great song! Looking forward to more of your work in the future.

Love it

Wonderful Mary! Love the drum!

Superb.

Nice piece, and very well put together. Love it.❤

Beautiful track... nice work... keep bringing it, you are on the path, love it.

I like it!

Beautiful song ❤

Beautiful ☀️

The width of the image is awesome. Really decent production. Nice job!

a lot of production on that one. Nicely done.

Lovely Mary, beautiful song…

¡Me encantó! El sonido envolvente, los acordes, los tonos en la voz, todo todo

Nice Mary, it felt like 5/4 time to me. 😊

Very encouraging individual is Mary. Nice songs.

Great! Love it. I hear hints of Julia Fordham in there.

Nice. Interesting

Nice! ❤

That's a banger

Nice...❤

Brilliant, It’s a hit girl I love it….

Absolutely love this one! Really nice guitar riff, great drums, lovely lyrics and vocals, and in general such a nice soft overall mix!👍🏻 I hope you’ll actually release lyrics with chords to your website at some point, and show us in general how to play some of your songs, or parts of them, like this cool riff in this one, for example. Well done, Mary👏🏻 Keep it going🙏🏻

👏👏👏👏

Rhythmically, the song is so interesting. There's fine playing throughout the whole album.

I melted into the satin sheets

Bella/linda.😅😅😅😅😅😅🍾

Nice tune, love the guitar. Would be better with a video of you playing it or just you with some stock footage, at least on KZread ❤

Hi from Mexico

Mary, por que você não aparece aqui? Temos um lindo País e certamente iria gostar. Não demore muito a mandar vídeos. Desta vez não percebi nem seu ectoplasma...rs. Parabéns, a música é maravilhosa. Abração.

A+++

❤

But of course I love Mary beautiful song great job 🙏💘 I love your music your talent Mary and your beauty 💘 a lot Mary I love you 💘👄💘 you haver a beautiful voice I love you Mary💘💕😘🥰🙏💌🇵🇹

Wish I could wake up to you.xxx

🌹❤️

Hey Mary just come across your videos and now music and subscribed. Can you think of a circumstance where the outcome is relevant? Freedom to escape from Gurdjieff's cycle of life is now and there is no outcome in the present. Watching you inspired me to ask this question. Off to listen to your cover of "Sultans of Swing". All the best

👍

really cool - would love to collaborate / work / play with yourself

สวัสดีครับ❤🙏💐🌠

Yea nice. Tempo's a bit quick but its a happy song i guess. Still waiting for you to let rip vocally, like really kick its ass, and since you can play well, chuck in the odd musical break (well one usually) But you're getting better, you're starting to find the edges which is exciting. Find the edge, all the good stuffs there, you'll see. 👍🏻

Sounded better on the Silver Sky

Vocals and lyrics - always amazing, The rhythm bothers me though. It would seem to fit a ballad type rhythm (based on the lyric) and it feels like I'm listening to a ride on a train track with it's inherent urgency. Qudos. Just a critique, and not a reflection of your amazing talent.

Great song!! ♥🪅
