Fantastic song Dani. A great arrangement, clever chord progressions throughout.
And I'm glad Spring has arrived. Stay warm!

Really lovely song Dani. Such a nice 60's soul feeling. Truly spring feeling, I felt definitely the crispy air  . Maybe piano could be bit louder and the solo guitar bit quieter. --- Janne

Interesting mix of crooning and country guitar - nicely evocative. Finally cooling down here following hottest February on record - so nice weather in both hemispheres.

Hi, Janne !:))
Glad you liked it !
Nice, that you got that
springfeeling as it was
exactly what I aimed for !
You may be right about
adjusting those instruments,
usually when I put in a solo
many say that it is too low,
so I thought I´d mix it pretty
high ! Maybe it was too high
this time ?
Cheers
Dani

Dani!
Your songs remind me of Burt Bacharach's and Dionne Warwick's... poppy and uplifting!
You tend to write melodic songs with chordal harmonies, and in my opinion you could probably omit the solos entirely... that type of song (at least as it manifested in the 70s) tended to be singer-focused, and therefore didn't have the solos that were the norm in musician virtuoso focused music. Instead of solos, those songs tend to have strong hooks/recurring motifs
With your background in barbershop music, which is also singer focused, it makes sense that you'd zero in on such songs, as it plays to your strengths. If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to focus on hooks in your songs. You have the chords, melody and singing all nailed!
As always, this is a wonderful song! Thanks for posting!
