There's Something In My Eye on Soundcloud
There's Something In My Eye on YouTube


A song requesting to deny or at least delay the ultimate breakup. Although this one is on my last album, Soundcloud has the better mix because it allows us to change the audio.

File:There's Something In My Eye.SGU
Style is _CHURN.STY (Churn Funky Smooth Pop)

RealTracks in style: ~906:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothCool Sw16 100

RealDrums in style:RadioCoolBreakbeatSw16^1-a:HtS, b:OpS was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer.
I played bass and sang.

There's Something In My Eye

What you came to tell me
isn't something that I want to hear from your lips.
I can see it's gonna hurt me. That look in your eyes tells the truth.
Could you hold off saying it if you're gonna say goodbye?
Can't you see there's something in my eye?

When we had our first fight
I remember how you said you knew that we would last.
Now you say you know it's over, but what of the love we still share?
Could you hold off a little while and give it once last try.
Can't you see there's something in my eye?

You asked to meet me
cuz you said we need to talk about relationships.
But I don't want to hear those words
I know will flow from your loving lips.

Maybe you will soften
and the love we have you'll know how strong it can grow.
So let us just try a little while, and soon I know you'll feel as I do.
We can make it all work out if you'll let me show you why.
Can't you see there's something in my eye?

Marty,

You have no shortage of GREAT songs! Love the lyrics and the vocal - awesome arrangement as well!

At times it sounds like you have George Benson playing some cool fills behind you.

EXCELLENT!

Marty, cool song. Love how the harmonic journey is "smooth" but has a subtly jagged edge that syncs with the lyrics. Nice write and super arrangement. I love the character of your vocals, so would make them a tiny bit drier, but that's just me. Super tune!

Gentle funky pop from the woodsman.
Clever lyric, smoooooooooooth melody & delivery.
The snare annoys me sometimes & not at others.
The sonics remind me of Gallagher & Lyle Breakaway era.

This is my favorite song on your latest album... I've probably said that already many times smile Nicely laidback tune with excellent chord progression taking me to sunny and warm beaches from this dark winterworld. And that's what the story tells me, about will to hold on to the warmth of love.

Very cool band, the sax solo is a perfect fit for the mood! Enjoyed your vocals and the bass playing. Marty, you are not only capable of creating enjoyable blues songs, but you are also a professional in composing cool and smooth jazz pieces.

What could be a brighter song for the shortest day of the year!

Thanks, Bob. If George was playing, it wouldn't be behind me. Merry Cristmas, Bob Dean The Music Making Machine.

Way too jazzy for my taste, but I really liked the lyrics and your vocals.
An your production has some really nice little bells and whistles to discover, so headphones are recommended.

Hi Marty,

This is right in my comfort zone. Love smooth jazz - especially when so well produced and performed.

You make great music and the rest of us are so fortunate to have early and lasting access to it.

You might want to give that bass player a raise - he kills it on this one!

Loved it - top shelf all the way.

Merry Christmas.

Alan

Thanks, Ron. Love that comment about smooth harmony/jagged edge. Good advice on dry-mouthing me, but that voice needs everything I throw at it and more. Have a great Christmas, Ron.

Thanks, Ray. Not sure which version you heard, but the SC one has the better snare. Oh, man, now i gotta look up those guys. Have a great Christmas, Ray.

Marty,

You've got a lot of Jazzy stuff going on here! You definitely pushed yourself into a new area vocally and it sounds beautiful to me! You did a super job putting this together as well your parts vocally and on bass! I always enjoy your work! Thanks, TB

Nice job, Marty. Kind of a "Quiet Storm Radio" tune. Did you use a notch filter on the vocals? Good lyrics as always.

Thanks, Janne. Really? I'm first of all amazed that you take the time to listen to the album, but never would've guessed this to be a favorite. Wow, good comment on the warmth of love, too. You're the best, Janne. Enjoy your Christmas.

Thanks, Brain. Man, I bet if I could do those synth vocals as well as you do, this one would sound better for sure. I know you're not big on Christmas, but enjoy this season with my gratitude for your friendship.

Thanks, Laurent. Having no rules to adhere to when writing music (or anything else) gets me into some strange areas for sure. Merry Christmas!
