As the review suggested, this song cradles the listener and soothes....Great vocals, excellent composition and the instrumentation is delicious!!!! Nice track, very enjoyable.
Love the vox and this song!! would like to collab!! Resonant Tones
Lovely song, lovely voice and sensitively arranged and performed. No problem in rating it or nominating it for the charts.
Truely a wonderful track, I just shut my eyes and drifted away listening to it. Jennifer vocals are perfect for this. Great lyrics :o), and excellent music. A truely brilliant collab. ONAGER
I'm glad it was dragged from the dark recesses (by mezzer) for lazy folk like me to have a listen. Sweet song and performances all-round so take a rate folks
Late to this also(sorry) Love that guitar intro. The slight drum track is great and then the hook kicks in with fantastic melody and drum track. The vocals are the icing on the cake and are very well structured and sung. Nice vocal height, melody and style Great 6 way collab

Some wonderful things going on here, it's a glorious piece of songwriting... It's rare for a verse to outshine a chorus, but I think the verse arrangements here are outstanding, with a real sinister and foreboding feel to them. I feel it lightens and thins out a bit in arrangement for the chorus, which I would like to have had a bit more power... but it's a minor minor gripe ;-) Might want to consider panning the distorted guitar at 2:10 a bit as it sits on top of Jen's vocals (which are as sublime as always). But overall an absolutely fantastic track and I will have me a download, thanking you muchly. Cheers, Jon.
Very good job here. Jennifers vocals are wonderful as usual and the arrangement is lovely. The production is quite raw and un fussy which is a good thing IMO as it's got a live feel to it. Cheers :-)
Im really feeling this tune, Jens voice on this is stunning. Great beat ! Nice and relaxed, love that hard guitar sec. Great job everyone involved with this tune,niceone
Nicely done by all involved, Jen's vocals sound as pro as ever, Carol Sue.. simply an outstanding songwriter, beautiful track, once again well done all involved :)
what a loverly piece loads of emotion, dont know anything about the technicalities but it sounds realy good
wow to all the artists, bravo baby C, bravo again on the vocals Jenn. I agree with crock this is defo a motion picture song. all buttons pushed my friends
nice collab,vocals stand out a mile,wasnt expectin the harsh guitar section but its a nice touch lifts it up to another level especially with the mellow strings,a great blend of instruments and artists,well done all parties involved great work
Can I rate a song I was apart of?? . . .oh well... i just did!! :-D ha ha!! . . .after all i only sang it! thanks for asking me to apart of it! i'm soo happy the finished product is getting such a great response! good work all round! :-D x x
This is a beautiful song. Love it!!! Fantastic job EVERYONE. rated from me. BAd LOve JUNKie
Very nice indeed - love the opening wah wah. Great strings and the production is so clear - very well done to you all - this will do well - it deserves to.
I have waited for this song! OMG it is beautiful. When Carol first wrote this it was as though she read my mind...the words. I thought it was beautiful back then. So I have always loved this song...the additions, the collaborations by all you extremely profoundly talented folks have enhanced this piece to the point that mere words are simply not good enough. Bravo! Encore!
Y'know, as long as there are people making music like this, there's a reason to look forward to each new day. Well, done everybody. Jen...your vocals are especially tender in this song, what a beautiful voice..keeps the whole song together. I like the drumming, retro style but those were the days when the drummers embellished the song and not spoiled it, so drums get an A from me. The only thing I find lacking, which I feel could have lifted the song even higher, is the strings/organ orchaestration....I think the song could use additional strings, to give a richer texture to the backing.....3 or more layers, different dynamics in diferent sections of the song, and that would place this song right UP there with the best of the mainstream artists' work. dammit i love this song. Well written, Carol, and marvellously interpreted/arranged, James!
Yeah..this is really nice! Production is great and love the drumming by Hans! Vocals are...well...great as usual from Jen! Bass is nice and tight with kick...just wondering who's on guit? Nice tone and rythm! Collabs seem to be collecting more and more players per song. Quite a plethora of musical styles in here! R8 all day!
Excellent arrangement, performances and production of a terrific song......all buttons. Kevin Mooney
Great work all round! Top job on the production too. Nice to hear a bigger collab on here and this work demonstrates each artists talents pretty well doesnt it!? The song is well written, arranged and performed by all, well done ;)
Fabulous vocals by Jenny first of all. Love the clean production and instruments mesh quite nicely. The mix too is just right I thought...Jenny out in front and everything else supporting superbly. Carol...songwriting is pretty damn good again but a bit of a tense mix-up in lyric that bothers me, only mention it in case you'd ever wanna go pro with it, I mean....sounds great and I too love that title and line...really original. I actually do feel it could go pro eventually tho...it has a star stamp upon it. A lot of that is also due to that fab vocal. This girl has gotta get a contract surely???? I reckon I got a nom left for you all!
Great vocal sells the track to me, very good in all departments (I liked the whole arrangement) Very good melody as well, wish you every success with track :) Rated
this is a fair size collab...on the money with the vocals...very fine performance...as always nice lyrics by carol... arrangment sounds pretty tight...nice guitar work... bass included..dont say who's playing the guitar?...only think this is lacking on is the percusion...sounds dated...nit picking of course...mix could do with a bit more work if im honest...its a bit thin...like i said nit picking...good work guys thumbs up
yep, very nice production, vocals are nice and high with loads of clarity. the melody is really nice - drums, bass and guits are all working in perfect harmony. great songwriting, a really accomplished piece you lot - vocal performance is right on. for a cross-continental collab it has great synergy :D ez r.
Fantastic effort from all concerned. CS some sublime lyrics songbird!James a lovely arrangement here and Jen classic performance on the vocals.A very nice track indeed well done to all.Not forgetting Mark E too!! Take Care Andy :)
Now that is a classic! Some great songwriting (" oh tired heart" what a great tiltle / song connection) and production. I can see a few retro changes and this is is a film tune. Great job from all of you. just lovely. For the film I would have ......Peace craig
Yeah, these are some really good lyrics and a lovely melody, Carol Sue, and Kiopo has done a fantastic job arranging and producing this. Nice collection of talent assembled for this number, Jennifer's vocals,as Craig said certainly stand out, but it's all good. Well done! Rated.
Good collab there. Jennifer's vocals particularly stand out on this. Good songwriting by Carol too. Rated. Craig

Up for review is a song from Carol Sue Kirkpatrick's pop song, 'Oh Tired Heart'. She was a name picked out of a hat for something new I was trying called a "Raffle Review". Wasn't too popular but I did get enough participants. The result, of coarse, was Carol Sue K. Wonderful person, I tell you. Gave me support on a few threads when my health got to me. An openhearted woman. I did a bit of researc
