Very nicely done, great song. Thanks Kenny! I just ran across one of yours I somehow missed-MORNING SKY! My mind is shot at this point but I don't think I heard it. Really WONDERFUL!! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg.
So, SO relaxing.
A perfect groove going on and an absolutely wonderful vocal style to complement it.
Definitely need a summer sunset and a cold beer for the perfect listening experience. Unfortunately, as Alyn said, we're in England. (Actually he's in Wales which is even wetter than where I am!)
Cheers, ROG. Thanks so much ROG! Hopefully you guys have had some relief in the weather. And, a cold beer always helps the listening experience! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg. Love this. Definitely captured the Michael Franks feel. I am also a big fan. Love the flute and also the harmonies. A lovely relaxing listen. Thanks Joanne! I've always been a huge Michael Franks fan. The hook just sounded like him, so I followed with the line and sinker! Thanks for listening and commenting! Take care. Greg

Greg,
This is a really enchanting. I love everything about it. Great lyrics too.
I know you are being Brian Wilson-ish with this (which is awesome) but there is microphone noise at the beginning, is that a special effect, or something that needs to be muted. Either way it is fine, I just couldn't make out what it was.
Love the song though man. Great job!! Thanks David, for the kind words. They mean a lot to me! I've really been digging what you're doing lately-you seem truly inspired! Take care. Greg

Very nice! Great arrangement, and your vocals really shine on this one! I almost missed hearing this, due to my hectic schedule. I'm sure glad I got to hear it!

Good song! Love the laid back vibe. Nice vocals and good lyrics. Love the percussion! I agree with the other comments about the ending, but that is an easy fix. Over all a great listen, enjoyed!
Thanks Dave for listening, and for the kind words! I'll have to fix that ending. Take care. Greg

"Now some men may need
To master philosophy like Descartes
But I must concede
I need not look deeper than my own heart
Cause that’s where it starts"
Amazing writing. Literate yet so easy to relate to.
We are having a brutally hot and dry summer and begging for fall so we fell right in the pocket with this tune. The vocal and the flute are perfect for the feel. Janice commented that your vocal reminded her of Timothy Schmidt.
And it is beautifully produced.
We very much enjoyed it!
Thanks for the nice words and your wonderful consistent support. Weather is cooling a bit now over here- I love Fall!! Thanks again. Take care. Greg

Greg, sensational lyrics, all delivered through a great quality melody, and perfect style.
As usual, your music stands out. This song is no exception.
The choice of a gentle Latin accompaniment has been the perfect mechanism to project this song.
The ending works just so really nicely.
And yes, Michael would be very pleased.
Thanks for another winner
Trevor
Thanks Trev. Always love hearing from you! You should be about due for a new one. Looking forward to it! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg, What a beautiful introduction. It sets the mood perfectly. Then, when your soft and gentle vocals arrive in the mix, the feeling is one of "music doesn't get better than this!" The flute acts as a wonderful counterpoint to your outstanding vocals Your melody is fantastic. There's no denying that you are one of the best melodists on this forum. I love that flattened 7th note that supports "Million" - at least my ears hear it as a flattened 7th in the given musical context. I really admire your ability to find such imaginative and fresh rhymes; it's incredible. My favourite lines are... It’s not quintessential love
It’s more existential love
I feel the potential of
The magic in each new day ... the asymmetry of the AAAX rhyme was perfect for the bridge. Interestingly, because of the "away / train / rain / stay" rhyme sequence, I heard the "day" at the end of the bridge link back to "stay". That's very clever writing and something that I've now added to my lyric writing tool box! Anyone who wants a lesson in how to write a first class song need look no further than what you've created here. You're a very, very talented composer and performer. Regards, Noel Noel, you are always way beyond kind with your comments. I so much appreciate how deeply you get into listening and thinking about songs. Your comments are so valuable to me! Take care. Greg

Hello, Greg
Your soft and attractive vocal is very pleasant. I am also a fan of Michael Franks.
Obbligato by flute is very effective and the chord progression of rhythm guitar is very relaxing.
Full of summer mood.
Just like having a comfortable doze in the lazy afternoon.
Very very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki! Yeah, Michael Franks did some wonderful stuff! I think he will always be a big part of my musical influence. You're doing some wonderful stuff these days!! Take care. Greg
