An enjoyable rendition of a song I haven't heard before, but now I am glad I have heard yours. Nice arrangement and it's good to hear your harmonica too. Thanks, Scott. In the OP, I said it wasn't one of Gershwin's better songs. I've changed my tune. Jazz musicians really like it, it's great to improvise to. I'll be posting a faster version in a week.

I love that vocal! It has just the right amount of grit and energy. This would fit nicely in a movie soundtrack.

Very nice song there, Floyd! Really good piano work, as well. I know what you mean about the paper. You should see my stack of school boy notebooks as Tunemonger describes. A mountain. Yeah, keep doing it the old fashioned way, man. It is the only thing I respect so don't go changing. Keep on keeping it real. I am reminded somewhat of this ad. This my world view now. Ten years from, this could be me. Do It The Old Fashioned Way Thanks, David If it ain’t Real it’s bullshit I have often been in a situation where I have been depressed and decided to stop writing songs and performing live. But something strange says: go to the piano and behold, words and melody are born! Thank you Floyd for this song Jona Thanks Jona What a stunning track, Floyd! You hit the nail on the head nothing beats the thrill of the human touch, a pen, and a blank sheet of paper. The soul and truth in this song are exactly why AI will never replace real artistry. It's wild how the universe works, turning a personal therapy session into a crucial turning point for your musical. It fits that narrative vibe perfectly. The musical arrangement is top-notch your piano work and those PRS leads sound incredibly tasty over that BIAB foundation. "Paper and Pen" is an absolute gem. Keep rocking! 🎸 Andi ;-) Much appreciated, Andi…. Hi Floyd, 'The darkness comes so softly that you do not feel it until it completely envelops you and turns everything into twilight'... Quite a somber song, Floyd. But somber or not, hope is always to be found in your lyrics: 'So look for the light in the tunnel look for the sun coming out look for a way to find your joy paper and pen' I think that paper and pen is very well chosen here, both literally and used as a metaphor. Yes, I don't need to tell you that this is a very cleverly written text, because all your lyrics are masterpieces in their own right! The musical accompaniment supports that somber, yet also hopeful, quality of the lyrics well. You did a great job with that! Hans Thanks for dropping in for a listen, Hans

Two excellent vids, two classic songs, thanks for sharing. I always wondered how the Who created the intro to Baba O’Riley and what the title actually meant. Also agree with Kevin, new music as creative, experimental and downright good as these songs cannot be found today . . . maybe that's a good thing.

<I think Lee Oskar is Danish> Oh, boy, am I geezing. Sorry about that, Janne. I have an excuse, though. I have a Finnish harmonica playing friend named Veijo who loves Lee Oskar, and that is how I got confused. Although aging had its part. ; )

Janne, this is a super song. Great vocals And that sax, WOW. RTs and Melodyne make a great pair don't they. Super chord progression One of your best for sure. PS - If you are ever reading an Internet article or listening to a blog on theory and it is stated the this chord x always leads to chord y then stop reading and look for another site. No chord progression is set in stone. Just my 2 cents. Thanks Mario for your wonderful review  I fully agree, I don't use sax often in my songs, but I'm always glad if I find a perfect match for my song and with BIAB there are many good ones available. Janne

Hi Janne. I had to look up what V and I etc. meant. Although I knew what a chord progression is, I like you, just use what sounds right to my ears. I didn't realize there was a rule. I also try to fall asleep on a positive thought. Nice, imaginative piece from you again. Vic Thanks Vic for your kind words Janne

Nice indie mood with high quality poetry. Nice images like "She had a map with coffee rings" and then "Some people pass right through/August was her name" tell so much with just few words. Emotional vocals are really enjoyable. Excellent mix, the vocals are clear, the bass smoothly pleasant and the steel sounds nicely wistful. The fade out works perfectly for the feeling. Excellent songwriting like in all of your songs, no gimmicks or big production, just a simple arrangement and a simple story which give the listener a ticket to a wondrous journey. Janne

We love diving into the domain. And this is a great example of why. We listen to a LOT of harp players during our regular YT music sessions. And we also listen to many on blues Spotify playlists. You are amongst the best. Your harp sings. So melodic. You remind us of Olivier Vander Bauwede who often plays with Guy Verlinde. Excellent vocals, arrangement and mix.Cool to see it's doing well on the SoundClick charts. Worthy of many plays! Well done! J&B J&B, you guys write the best reviews!! Thank you so much! I have to say I'm embarrassed, I've never heard of Olivier or Guy. But I've been listening to them all morning thanks to you. Very eclectic, unique styles. If you like Olivier, check out Carlos Del Junco. One of my favorities. It's amazing how harmonica has evolved from the Chess days. I just recorded a faster version of "But Not for Me," I will post that next. The harp solo on it is better, and I've written an additional verse (Ira Gershwin will haunt me for that.)

Embrace the suck. You're only a "short timer" when you have your DD-214 in hand and headed towards the front gate for the final time. What a glorious day that is. However, to be crystal, nothing about this sucks. It's probably the best fusion jazz composition I've heard here in all the years I've been listening. Great job Guitarhacker- You are too kind! Thank you for listening and the comments.
