Noel,
I like so many things about this.
Your vocal is so uniquely....Noel! Like a Randy Newman vocal. Or Tom Waits. Identifiable! Cool.
This song "took me back" - as your songs often do. So many of them sound like they were lifted right out of the great musical movies of the past. I could not help but see/hear Gene Kelly performing this (sauntering as he did, of course). Tin Pan Alley all the way.. Cool.
"footloose and fancy free"
Nice!
(I did not read your lyric pdf. I prefer to let a song speak for itself)
Your chorus is delightful. Thematic and demonstrative! Cool.
Terrific mix! LOVE your harmonies. The piano solo is inspired. Interesting mix of instruments.
A pleasure to listen to.
