Hello fellow shelterers and music lovers! Hope you are all doing well in these crazy times. I apologize in advance for posting a depressing song. Since I started on this forum, there are many times Al David's songs have immediately captured my attention. He has a great feel for putting music together, and comes up with intriguing titles. A few times, I have stolen his title, his band, and a few chord changes to act as a catalyst for a song. This one, instrumental with the same title, he posted sometime back. I loved the title and rolled with it. Collaboration is a lot of fun.....Bacharach had Hal David, and for this song, I got Al David. Hope you enjoy!! Take care and stay safe! Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/eternaltwilight

Hi Greg ...
I am always super-excited when you've posted one of our collabs. I'm certainly no Hal David ... he has quite a few more numbers before the decimal point in his bank account. Also, I can only admire his talent from afar. BTW, he and I are not related ... dang!
You just have a way with anything musical you touch. You took one of my half=way decent instrumentals and turned it into a piece of musical magic with your great lyric and amazing vocal. It's sad that the rest of the world doesn't hear your fabulous talent ... we, on these forums, are so privileged to hear you at will with a simple click of the mouse.
It's been a pleasure working with you on the 4 or 5 collabs we've done. Hope we do a few more ... or a lot more! You're a wonderful singer/lyricist and one heck of a nice guy. Again, many thanks for this. Wishing you and yours the very best. Be safe, my friend ...
Alan
PS: Hope you're enjoying retirement!!!!

Wow! This is great!
The track is perfect, love the arrangement, such a great groove. Sax sounds good, so does the guitar.
And that vocal! Man, so good ....
Really, really good guys!

Really, really good guys! I had to repeat what Dave said. I think I quote him more than anyone - he often says JUST what I was thinking... This is Gorgeous!! Beautiful Music. INCREDIBLE Song Writing - your way with words is truly astounding. A "sexy" melody. Gorgeous. One of your all-time-best vocals. Cool BGVs. And a silky mix. Nice ending. Y'all should both be VERY proud. WOW. WOW. WOW. fj

Wonderful collaboration, Alan and Greg! You are top songwriters and this highlights the perfect mix of your talents. Such a beautiful melancholy melody and chording, deeply touching lyrics, smooth band and Greg's heavenly voice (including those backing vocals). Eternal Twilight is also a great title and sounds like the sax player has known it beforehand.

Greg,
What a collaboration- you`ve taken a cool instrumental from a master and delivered a haunting song with one of your best vocal performances.
Love the bgv and the sax.
Very good!

This is just so well produced and delivered.
An excellent performance, all the way through.
Vocally brilliant and expressive.
And yes, Mr David is way up there with his musical abilities.
Smooth. Loved it.

Really, really good guys! I couldn't say it any better. This is absolutely fantastic. This is as good as anything that Bacharach and Hal David did! You both should be extremely proud of this one. PS - you should put out an EP or a CD of songs like this. I know that I would buy it!

What a sweet song. Those vocals are so smooth. The lyrics are outstanding. Lovely music. This song is like something from the best of the 70's. Congratulations to you both. I really like this.

Greg,
Very nice song!
Sweet vocals!
I feel Boz Scaggs more than David-Bacharach in this tune.
Great sound!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Greg,
Amazing!
Don't think I need to add any more (other than I agree with all those comments above).
Okay - that's one heck of a vocal.

Hi Greg,
I don't know what compliments I can add to those you already received. But I really loved the melody and the way you sang it with those different vocals in the chorusses. I can imagine it wasn't easy to record and mix it like you did, so well done!
Hans

Simply stunning--the music, arrangement, production, vocal.
With this song, I feel like I'm sitting in a leather chair by the fireplace with a mug of mulled wine.
I'm going back for another listen.

Thanks to everyone for the very nice comments. And yes ... Greg is the real star of this show. What a voice! And such a great lyricist. Greg Johnson is one of the very best friends a song can have. There aren't many feelings better than getting an email from Greg Johnson saying he'd like to put a lyric to your music and then he does and sings it better than anyone else could ever hope to sing it. I've played guitar behind some pretty big names ... but Greg wanting to work on several my songs is among my very best musical privileges.
