- You rock my world
Written in my car while I was on the way to visit
the wonderful woman this song is about. One
must be discreet, but she knows who she is.

friend (0:43)
"I wrote this when I was 24. I think I was
getting ready for a date with a girl."
(acoustic)
- Real
love (0:25)
"This song took ages to write. It started with
the verse and then I had nowhere to go. I wrote the
chorus cycling in a place called Cooinda which is in
the Northern Territory."
(rock)
- Take
you back (0:33)
"Was the first song I ever wrote from a position
of complete emotional honesty, so I'd like to thank
the woman who completely broke my heart for opening
a whole new world to me.
John Farnham also recorded this song so I got in contact
with her and asked her what she thought and she said
it wasn't very boppy. What the hell was I thinking!!??"

Review Music Australia
Guide 2005
After a long apprenticeship as a backing musician
and opening act for Renee Geyer, Tommy Emmanuel
and Daryl Braithwaite, singer / songwriter / guitarist
Steve Romig finally takes centre stage with his
excellent debut release. A singer / musician of
Romigs caliber could have taken the easy route on
his first journey into sololand, Instead he has
shown flair and imagination in his choice of arrangements
on fourteen original songs. The gospel / blues inspired Daddy Come Down
features a sparse dobro. Acoustic slide accompanies
his voice on Sometimes.
Mike Rudds bluesy harmonica bobs up on Night
And Day and there is a Chinese violin on Take
You Back.
Aint Gonna Be Your Dog is a nod to Big Joe
Turner, while I Wanna Touch You and Old
Friend are vehicles for Romigs strong, melodic
voice.
One of this years standout debuts heralds the arrival
of a talented all-rounder.

Review Mixdown Magazine March
2004
There is not a single thing you could flaw in this
recording. It really is a quietly confident and beautifully
executed piece of work. Romig has managed to capture
some incredible real sounds, especially in the dynamics
and tones of his guitar playing.
You could file Touch under any branch
of adult oriented music you like, and you still could
not put a finger on what it is he does. Fans of anyone
from Simply Red, Simon and Garfunkle and the modern
gospel/ blues- influenced acts will find him a real
treat. He is undoubtedly a gifted singer and songwriter,
and I have to say, tracks like Sometimes
have enough to make you close your eyes and reconsider
things in your own life. Any piece of music that can
do that is testimony to this mans heart.
There are funkier bloozier tracks that definitely
have groove and a sense of fun- but Romigs true talent
shines in the slower moments where its just his soulful
husky voice and resonant strings of his instrument.
I advise those of you after the kind of music they
just do not make anymore to seek him out on www.steveromig.com.
You will be rewarded in the listening.
