It's called 'Sad Eyes' and seems to last an eternity and despite poor production and not the greatest voice, I think it has some merits. Although, it may be deemed as too sentimental, I suppose. It can be heard here along with his other <a href="http://www.myspace.com/barnabygriffin" rel="nofollow"> sad songs</a>.Escohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370145581666379610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-47703828394325625052010-02-13T14:58:13.359+00:002010-02-13T14:58:13.359+00:00Hi Mimi.

I will try again because it sound just like my kind of thing.<br />If you listen to that Eric Bogle song and like it, there are plenty more. Is he well known in Australia?bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-18018156536185159772010-01-21T14:00:49.735+00:002010-01-21T14:00:49.735+00:00Bazza,

I'm not sure, but Stanton sounds so <i>genuinely</i> sad when he sings it.S Simmondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082268725118026028noreply@blogger.com
