Written and recorded today with words by @Jibbidy34...good to be back on board the FAWM train again!
Thank you for keepin’ the home fires lit
When you know I have no way of gettin’ round to it
I appreciate the time and effort
That you take in bein’ there for
Stoking the embers of our lives
To feed the flame burnin’ inside
I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine
Take it in turns, takin’ our time
What I can’t do, you do tenfold
Make mine a bronze but yours a gold
If you’re a yin, then I’m a yang
Never a ‘can’t’, our motto’s ‘can’
Where I am weak, you have a strength
You’ll always go to any length
Thank you for keepin’ the home fires lit
When you know I have no way of gettin’ round to it
I appreciate the time and effort
That you take in bein’ there for
Stoking the embers of our lives
To feed the flame burnin’ inside
Where I can’t reach, you’re tall enough
If you’re the smooth, then I’m the rough
What I can’t see. you saw it all
If I can’t be there, then you are
We are one heck of a team, you and I
Where would I be without you by my side
Fighting the good fight, we strive for what we want
Who knows where we could get to if we carry on
Thank you for keepin’ the home fires lit
When you know I have no way of gettin’ round to it
I appreciate the time and effort
That you take in bein’ there for
Stoking the embers of our lives
To feed the flame burnin’ inside

What a great love song about a long-term couple. This is a really nice coupling of lyrics with music that makes space for them. Love the playing and singing. Glad you found each other. Great collab.
@dragondreams Feb 2022
This is such a great feelgood song. I love the progression and flow of this one. The delivery suits the words perfectly. :-)
@tseaver Feb 2022
What a fun collab! And a lovely sentiment. "Make mine a bronze but yours gold" is a gem.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
I love the gratitude that shines through in this song with such warmth and recognition. Lovely lyrics and the music is wonderful as the thanks is so upbeat and heartfelt feeling. Love the instrumental interludes and riffs. Awesome collaboration!
@kristi Feb 2022
A happy song with lovely sentiments, appreciating the strengths and weaknesses of each other. I especially liked: Stoking the embers of our lives/To feed the flame burnin’ inside. The music is catchy and the vocal is delivered with such sincerity!
@wobbiewobbit Feb 2022
ooh i listened to this yesterday. this has a lovely blend of feels in it. the obvious country, but also folky and i can hear in the melody a flavour that reminded me of Simply Red. i like the balance of its straightforward and practical with more sentimental, which i suppose is exactly what the phrase keeping the home fires lit embodies. cool collab!
@jerrypettit Feb 2022
This is why I come here.
Sure, sure--it's kind of fun to post my own songs. But Gwyn and Jibiddy have a new song up? Well, it's time to put the notebooks and keyboards away and listen. You don't disappoint!!
Looking forward to see more of your solo efforts and collaborations.
@mandolinda Feb 2022
Always look forward to your tunes. This is a nice up tempo, toe tapper. I can see the line dancers taking the floor.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
It's a lovely poignant lyric, brilliantly delivered. Love your vocal Gwyn, as always, and your sense of how to put together a country tune is just flawless. More, more, more...
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Cooper Jones rides again!
Great collaboration-- Georgie's heartfelt words are set wonderfully to Gwyn's country-pop music.
@cleanshoes Feb 2022
A nice blend of classic pop-rock and country. Very catchy and feel good!
@mikehex Feb 2022
Great upbeat tune, love that chorus
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Great to hear you two again. Looking forward to hearing more of your wonderful productions this February. They are always first rate and impressive.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Gee its recorded loud, after other songs it took my head off ha ha, even with your dulcet tones. Classic in you twos style. Great easy listening
@mikeb Feb 2022
More 'americana' than 'country' (there's no dog, pickup truck or beer!) Great start to FAWM 2022!
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
i would have no complaints if i could live in the world of this upbeat song that chugs along wrapped in smiles.
@quork Feb 2022
Great, toe tapping song.
@andrea Feb 2022

@jibbidy34 you can do it all. That was fun!
@b4rkst4les Feb 2022
I really dig this. Great story teller tune. Keep on Stoking those embers.
@berni1954 Feb 2022
A classic piece of Alt-Country. I like the way you avoid the standard Verse Chorus Bridge structure. Nice mando breaks too!
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Good to listen to one of your collabs again! Hope you two have more of these up your sleeves!
