about
'The Boy Who...' is a moving acoustic country tinged ballad that is currently being pitched to TV, movie and major artists, such is the belief in the song by Lisa's publishers. Original version appears on 'Clouds with Silver'
'There's an immediate connection to the emotional territory of the songs which imbues an easy familiarity and regular listeners to Bob Harris will already know Lisa's subtle tremolo and classic country lilt.' Properganda

lyrics
He ain’t nobody special
He ain’t noone you’d know
He ain’t even around here now
Playing his one man show
But I just can’t forget him
No matter how hard I try
They say that time is a healer but
It passes slowly by
Passes slowly by
He’s just the boy who broke my heart
Just the one who tore it apart
Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life
He’s the just the boy I see at night
When I lay down and close my eyes
Just the boy who broke my
Boy who broke my heart
Every night is the same dream
And I can still see his face
Lost in the eyes that were searching mine
A love I can’t replace
It’s a love I can’t replace
He’s just the boy who broke my heart
Just the one who tore it apart
Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life
He’s the just the boy I see at night
When I lay down and close my eyes
Just the boy who broke my
Boy who broke my heart
Wake up every morning to the sound of his voice oh
And though I’ll never see him again, it’s like I have no choice
He’s just the boy who broke my heart
Just the one who tore it apart
Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life
He’s the just the one I see every night
When I lay down and close my eyes
Just the boy who broke my
Boy who broke my heart
Oh oh oh oh
He ain’t nobody special
He ain’t noone you’d know
He ain’t even around here now

Rosie Thomas is a wonderful female singer/songwriter. Her music is so moving and With Love is another gorgeous heartfelt album. She is a big inspiration to me as I also write songs from the heart.

The Ones Who Wait
by Denison WitmerI saw Denison a few years back playing with, and supporting Rosie Thomas and he is an incredible songwriter. Definitely evokes melodic warmth as the description says and deserves to be a bigger name.
