Hi Noel.
You always do this kind of thing just SO well.
You know by now that I like the movies from the 30s/40s and this is right in the middle of that style. No one does this any better.
Everything about this track is perfect, from the instrumentation to the progression, from the lyrics to the vocal delivery.
In a couple of hours it will be dark here in the north of England and I'm going to turn the lights down low, put my feet up and play this again - several times.
Masterful.
All the best, ROG.
Hi Noel,
ROG hit the nail on the head with his comment. I grew up in the early 1950s watching movies from the 30s, 40s and early 50s. Besides their basic innocence, compared to today's movie culture, I lived the soundtracks. Couldn't wait for the next Carmen Miranda movie. And then all the Doris Day musicals ... loved all of that.
And this song captures much of that era in music - the innocence, uplifting melody, sparkling vical and fabulous tracks. I'm a sucker for a good bossa nova - loved everything about this!
EXCEPTIONAL!
Alan
