Hi Folks, We've not been around much, as most of you know. Di's health is declining quickly. She spends about three-fourths of her time in bed. I wrote this one about a week ago. It's a Lounge Jazz piece. She heard me working on it and said she'd like to sing it, if she could, when I was finished. She helped me finish the lyric yesterday. I added the lead guitar track and we recorded it a few hours ago. She listened to my demo of it one time and sang it. This is a one-and-done. She did this in one take and didn't have the energy to do it again. I don't think she needed to, anyway. This is what we came up with. Hope you enjoy. Will visit some folks as I can. ****** Song Summary ************* Key=C , Tempo 86, Length (m:s)=3:54 RealTracks in style: ~481:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~487:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~555:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Freddie Sw 085 RealDrums in style: JazzBrushesSticks#1: a: JazzBrushesSticks#1b: JazzBrushesSticks#1 ******************* http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=276329&content=songinfo&songID=13532845
Let’s Make Love Tonight © 2017 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI (v1) The fire is low, with flames aglow Your eyes are shining bright Your hand in mine, somehow I find The atmosphere’s just right Your lips so sweet, when ours meet I’m higher than a kite Turn down the lights, and let’s make love tonight (CHORUS) Hold me close, don’t let me go Whisper everything’s alright I need your touch, darlin’ oh so much A fire I just can’t fight Turn down the lights, and let’s make love tonight Instrumental Verse (v2) The moon so high, up in the sky Cupid’s arrow launched in flight The stars above, remind me of How soft you hold me tight You already know, I love you so And there’s no end in sight Turn down the lights, and let’s make love tonight (CHORUS) Hold me close, don’t let me go Whisper everything’s alright I need your touch, darlin’ oh so much A fire I just can’t fight Turn down the lights, and let’s make love tonight TAG Turn down the lights, and let’s make love tonight

Al and Di,
This sounds superb. You've both done a wonderful job.
Di, your singing is great. I wish I could get vocals put together in a single take! I envy your ability. For me, I do a number of takes and then copy and paste the best bits from each one into a compiled track; even then I still have to punch in a few phrases here and there.
I love the small jazz ensemble you've created.
I really enjoyed listening.
Best wishes to you both,
Noel

Al and Di,
This is lovely. I see a dark, smoky club, the singer framed in a baby spot. Enjoyed it.
Best to Di.

Bob

Al and Di,
Good to see you back again here.
Di's Voice is just great for this kind of music! Really Pro sounding.
Considering the state of her health we find this a big achievement.
Our thoughts are with you both.

The singing comes from the heart, and. The phrasing makes it so naturally easy to listen and get into.

Hello, Al and Di
What a pleasant music!
It sounds as if I were listening to it at a jazz club drinking my favorite scotch.
Di's vocal is sweet and wonderful.
Good write. Nice arrangement.
A delight to hear.
Best regards.

Noel,
You are much too kind. But you put a smile on both our faces! We really appreciate the very nice compliments. I wish I could truthfully say were worked our tails off on this, but that would be a lie. The melody came to me very quickly and the lyric came together pretty quickly, too. Since Di sang this in one take, our recording time for her vocal was less than ten minutes and my lead guitar was a third take ... about 45 minutes. Counting the lyric, the BIAB trax, her vocal and my guitar, we have about 6 hours, max, invested in this.
Delighted you enjoyed it! Your Monday is already well started, ours is about to begin. Hope yours is going as good as we hiope ours will.
Alan & dI

Bob, that's exactly what we were shooting for! Thanks for validating our effort. And you have the mood and setting perfectly described. We thank you very much for the kind review!
Uh, would you like a smooth Scotch or perhaps a dry Martini with your lisen. Just let us know and we'll fax it to you!!!
Best,
Alan & Di

You two are one heck of a team.
The pro's make it look easy. 6 hrs total time is extremely impressive for this project. The fact that Di nailed this so well on her first and only take is amazing beyond words. I probably sing any given lyric several dozen times before I hit record the first time. And it's often the 6th or so take before I get a keeper track. And that's before I pull out Melodyne and edit and clean it up. Yeah... very impressive.
That's some good jazz guitar playing in there too. The parts fit the genre well.
All in all, a very nicely done song.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Bob described the mood and scene...and, man, did you two ever nail it...vocal, guitar and production!
We love the cool slinky feel with her vocal working around the rhythm.
Makes us ready for a Billie Holiday listening session.
It's simply great to listen to another production from you two.
We wish you the best and hope Di quickly improves!

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie,
It's so good to be back when he can do so. We always appreciate hearing from everyone and listening to the great music all you post!
We're delighted you liked this one. I wish my voice was even half as good as Di's! Thank you for the very kind comments!
