I read the lyrics and said wow! What a write! But I had no idea how good it was until I listened. Brilliantly done! I love the use of the extended solo. Hammers home the feeling. Loved it all. Among your best, Tom THanks so much Tom! Yeah, I love the feel of the solo trumpet. That was what got me going on this idea...when I heard that trumpet in Al David's tune. THanks again! Take care. Greg

Greg,
very wholesome and soulful tune.
Everything moves very nicely. I am traveling and my headphones are not studio grade, but seems vocals sit perfectly!
Thank you,
Misha. Thanks for the listen and the kind words Misha! Take care. Greg

That paints a picture in the listener's mind. I could see this in a movie soundtrack.
So many good things about this from the smooth jazz to the melody to the lyrics to the production. It's all top bar stuff.
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.

Greg,
I am so honored to have inspired this piece of musical magic. I am humbled beyond my ability to properly respond. I think the song you're referring to is "Any Other Day".
Simply marvelous! Such a beautiful song and holy smoke - that vocal. The velvet of your voice beautifully spreads itself over the lyric and hovers magically over the perfect combination of backing tracks. I wish I knew all the right superlatives that apply. Regardless, this is just so good and pro all the way. Love the trumpet outro. You are one of the best friends music has.
Wishing you the very best.
Alan
PS: The world should be your audience. You deserve it - and so does the world. Thanks so much for those incredibly kind words Alan! You are a great composer/arranger/musician! I always find your music inspiring! Take care. Greg

Greg,
Great tune—very atmospheric, very tangible—you feel the darkness and the chill; it drips with loneliness. Love the melody in that chorus, and you just nail the vocals. Excellent stuff, wonderfully written and put together. That sax is sweet!
All the best,
Deej

Greg,
Very nice soulful jazz song!
Stunning performance!
Trumpet is very effective.
The melody and the chord progression are splendid.
It reminds me of "Cry me a river", "Sunny" and so on.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Wow Greg, what a fabulous song and performance! Stunning production, utterly professional in every respect. Reminds me of George Michael's big reverb-washed jazzy ballads. You have a similar voice timbre and 'yearning' delivery. Are these BIAB RealTracks, live band or bit of both?  Best John

Great work on this  Love the smoky vibes on it. Really easy on the ears, and nicely catchy. It is perfectly relaxed, and calming to listen to. Brings to mind imagery of drinking a cup of coffee indoors on a rainy day - smooth and peaceful. Really well done - thanks for sharing! Thanks so much Deryk for the listen and kind words! Take care. Greg

Greg,
Your vocals are invariably excellent; on this song you`ve raised the bar!
You have a feel for this jazzier style- so relaxed and a bit of smoke in your voice.
Al does write some very good instrumentals that invite lyrics... your inspiration has resulted in a fine song.
Robert Thanks much Robert! Listened to your new one today.....very good stuff!! Take care. Greg

"you are my only audience. "
Love that line from you, I think it's the same for most all of us.
It makes me appreciate this group all the more.
Super arrangement, beautiful sound
Your voice works so well on a smokey ballad like this (and what a voice!)
like early Sting (post Police) he could a song this good now-a-days
excellent!
Kenny Thanks so much Kenny! Really glad you're posting again! Take care. Greg
