Hello, Hello!!

Firstly, I must apologize for missing last week. I've been in my end-of-month/end-of-year scramble, trying to meet too many hard deadlines. I'm no less overwhelmed this week, but I managed to force myself to take a quick break to listen to this week's entries. :) Gotta keep it short, but at least I'm here...*even if only for the briefest of moments.* ___ ![SGLive-banner3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSeMCxdJG5BabvtASPB61ctTU82JntgFWmwA8V3Hg6Xxi/SGLive-banner3.jpg) ___

Something about your melodies; at once melancholic and hopeful – speaking to all those simply human parts of me. Wrapping my response in words almost feels inappropriate. *If I only I could reply in wordless song.* Perhaps someday I will... ___

Second

Your accent adds unexpected charm. I love your collaborations with Orlando, and it's sweet to see you playing guitar on this one! Well done... ___
