I'm imagining what my ancestral homeland is like, never having been there.. Mementu di Agrigento ====================== We came to this island trek expecting just to find Distant cousins, family tree From Palermo toward the sea; Show us Naro, there where it began. In mediterranean sun our destination lies Naro nestled on the hill Where our family's living still But this island has more than family ties.. Chorus: Her stunning beauty treats the eye, Neath' cloudless skies above; Sicilian memento, Life lentimento, Love Agrigento, Call it the Isle of Love! Descending the mountain road there's richness to explore: Grecian ruins, southern shores, Turkish steps, the local lore, Friendly neighbors who open wide their doors-- ========================= Style is _NEWAGEK.STY (New Age Bossa w/ Koto Synth) RealTracks in style: ~~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~2263:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm 80sPopMedium Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~1104:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 140 RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealDrums in style: BossaBrushesPerc^1-a:Congas, No Kit , b:Congas, Shaker, Triangle, No Kit

Very melodic. The intro reminded of the James Bond theme. Your compositions are always very interesting to listen to. Great lyrics. Rob

Hello, Tom
Listening to your music is always a big fun for me. And this song is no exception. The melody is really nice. The Semitone descent lines of minor cliché (Am - Am#5 - Am6 - Am7) is also my favorite. The way to use E7#9 is orthodoxy and very effective. The modulation at the chorus is very latin and feels good. The obligatos of Accordion, Hamond B3 organ, Cello, etc. are also very comfortable. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

That is actually a really cool idea for a song. It would be really neat to be able to explore the places your ancestors once lived.
Really cool arrangement. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember

I like the strings - they immediately catch the ear, and you continue to do interesting orchestration throughout.
The drums kicking in at the chorus caught me by surprise - clever. I also like the overlapping chorus at the end.
Good song, with lots of ear candy to enjoy!

There's just so much to like about this.
The Latin vibe, the quality vocals, the strings, the total arrangement and so much more.
Going back for another listen.

Nice work on this one, Tano It has an absolutely infectious groove, and I like all the subtleties to the backing music too. It's almost like the closer the listen, the more you can pick out. And as always with you - your vocal performance is strong and distinct. Really well done! Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Very cool song!! Are you a Michael Franks fan? I hear some of his vibe in your tunes, and your vocal processing is quite similar. Very much enjoyed this! Take care. Greg
