The Peaceful Life

I wasn't meant to lead a fancy city life;
But then a wife and kids and workin' nine-to-five,
Living one day at a time;
I couldn't stop dreamin' 'about the bubblin' streams
And catfish on the line.

Wanna get on back to where my people come from;
'Was miles away from busy city streets,
Peacefully snug in the hills;
I dream of being where the air is sweet
The sound of whippoorwills.

Face to face on a crowded train,
Watching the passing gray day;
Let them think that I've gone insane--
Cause I chose a better way?

I'm gonna take my boy down to the lazy brook;
Then we'll drop a hook right where they always bite--
Catfish for dinner tonight!
I never look back because my kids and wife
We love this peaceful life.

Tom, Tommy Dorsey and Johnny Smith are alive and well.
This is an outstanding flashback to 1940s and 1950s.
Great jazz swing and vocal
Great mix also

Well, that was such a pleasurable listen! It's like I'm listening to a soiundtrack from those 1940s B&W movie my mom always watched. That was a real nice memory - thank you!

Excellent song & presentation.

best to you,

Alan

Bass is the perfect start of A Peaceful Life. Love your lyrics, Tom --always. Very relatable. I really dig your write, too. SO well constructed. A song that instantly sounds like a classic. Man, BiaB sure provides some extraordinary musicians, and you use them so well.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We love the imagery and we were just talking last night about how thankful we are that we don’t live in a big city

That is a fine enjoyable mid size smile big band sound.

Your vocal is soothing and nails the vibe.

Superb while looking out at our forest and drinking coffee!
