Song information
Another one of my sisters songs. It’s about someone she knew in the mountains who is now gone. He was an old gold miner who went into the mountains as a young man, spent his life single in his cabin with his dog looking for gold. He was a great friend to all his neighbors however, helped everyone, even built a road for others to get to town too. When he got too old to easily care for himself, his neighbors out of love for him looked after him and visited him often and made sure he had the necessities for living. He was greatly loved because he had cared for others so much. Although he lived alone, he was not lonely. My sister was friends with this old man and remembered him in this song. She is singing and playing guitar. I added the bass and flute.

Lyrics
I've a got friend,
and he lives back in the hills.
There's no sound of the city,
and his dog sits still.

And he's not a lonely man.
And he'll never be a lonely man.
'cause to many people love him.

He works in an old gold mine.
He spends his nights with his dog by candle light.

And he's not a lonely man.
And he'll never be a lonely man.
'cause to many people love him.

And he's not a lonely man.
And he'll never be a lonely man.
'cause to many people love him.

Thank you @Dyl and @Wyndsok .  The flute is actually a sampled flute sound from an iPad app.  I had also added piano, woodwinds, strings, more, but it just took away from the simplie beauty of the song, so I restarted and decided less was more here, so a bass and flute was it.  Thanks for listening!

Really beautiful composition!  If I may - I would love to hear your voice with less reverb, so it can feel even more intimate (◕‿◕) Overall, great vibes - transported me to a calm place in the countryside.

Thank you @danjadrift . Also thanks for the reverb feedback, always good to get other peoples ears on things like that.  I think I will remix it, kind of want to change the flute part a little also.  The mountain picture shown we took in North Carolina, it was such a pretty day.  Thanks for listening!
