What a wonderful collaboration. Greg, you know how much I love your songs, and Al is right about how blessed we in this forum are to hear them. (Although I disagree with his assessment of the a person's worth is their bank account. hehe, I KNOW you didn't mean it that way, AL.)

Anyway, this is a wonderful nod to the talents of Al David. God, but that IS a sad song for such a beautiful voice, Greg. "She brought me colors my life had never known." You really know how to tell a story.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty ... I wasn't equating Hal David's worth to his wealth ... just that an easy way to tell us apart is where that decimal point is. Bacharach & David is one of the greatest music composing teams in the history of music. Sorry if I left a negative impression by my original comment ... humor attempt gone bad!

But I sure do thank you for your kind words about the song! Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Haha. Alan, I KNEW that. It's just my pedantic way of pointing out how words can be misconstrued. You KNOW I love you, brother. [I once recorded at Scepter Records and played the piano Bacharach played.]

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!!!!


It was a pleasure Alan! You have a knack for finding the magic groove!! Take care and stay safe. Give my best to Di. Greg

Greg & Alan,
This is one of the best Pop Rock tunes I have heard this year!
Done very tastefully. So much talent! Beautiful.
P.S. My wife is very critical of new music, but even she said it was very well done smile
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Really, really good guys!

Silky smooth...cool jazz club feel.

If the vocals weren't so good the sax would steal the show.

Everything with the production is focused on the excellent melancholy lyric
and that focus delivers...big time.

You guys have a synergy -- stick with it!

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.

Thanks so much Floyd! I'm alway flattered to get such a nice review from the Godfather of the forum! You're killing it lately....even more so!! Take care. Greg

Eternal Twilight is also a great title and sounds like the sax player has known it beforehand.

Thanks so much Janne! I always enjoy your music.....so creative with melodies! Take care. Greg

Greg and Al, this is stunningly gorgeous from the arrangement to the instrumental solos. The real star are the beautiful lyrics and the equally beautiful vocals. The expressive lead and the well placed backups are so great that I fail to find the words equal to how they made feel. Bravo boys, Tom

This is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely beautiful. I can tell (after having heard Greg and Al's songs for a while now on here, haha) both of your influences on this track from a mile away, haha ... and the fusion of musical genius is just perfect. Sad and uplifting at the same time, with a sprinkle of harmonies and vocals that just make one both melt and cry. Well done, both of you - what a song.

So tasteful. So professional. So sad.
Greg, this is one of your best out of a very impressive body of work.
The vocals, solo and background, are top shelf. The backing is just right.
Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Cheers,
Mike
PS Nice work too Al David - it's a beautiful melody.
