Yoke Up! Song about some wise advise. ======================== Tomorrow it might be gone; Tomorrow's a bit too long; Let's make it today. We wait..why I've wondered; We're so late-- Have we blundered? We know that yesterday was a windfall; Call it a godsend, 'cause we simply got the breaks; Risky game, laying low, Jump the flame, and on we go, Though we've always known.. They said it's no joke--go YOKE UP! They said it's no joke--go YOKE UP! Maybe lazy, guess we're hooked; Kinda crazy-- 'Cause once we looked--it's simple. Impossible happ'nings are proof that we know it's true! If you give it a chance it will come to you! We've learned to remember whatever we choose to do: Fill the air in your square! Live the day! Dare to walk the way.. Despite your good stroke, you're broke! Won't last, burn fast! 's no joke--go YOKE UP. ======================= I mentioned in another forum that I lost all of my project files over the weekend, so I can't say which BIAB components I used, but likely some basic bossa components, with a bari sax solo.

I like the mix on this - heavy dependence on the drums and light, tasteful instruments.
Try as I might, I could not figure out what the song is about. Eggs?

I really liked this. Your arrangement is perfect for this. Great bongos and sax breaks. This sounds like it might have come from the 50s beatnik era.
Good job on this.
PS - What the hell is this song about?

Eggs? Not eggs-actly! Omelet you in on the real story..
Song of a Christian, during time of Christ, wondering why all the miracles and fantastic happenings aren’t enough to convince the “lucky” in life to accept the easy yoke that has been offered.
I’ll take it as a compliment that I was obtuse enough to give it a “hidden message”!
Thanks for all the kind comments!

Cool! Very cool. Janice and I always enjoy a Bossa. It's amazing how that groove has sustained itself so well over the years.
We love the write, the arrangement, the vocals and BiaB band.
Nice first post for the year and we hope you have a quick resolution regarding the hard drive issue.
Happy New Year,
J&B

Tano,
You done it again!
Tom, you have a very un-generic approach. I salute and admire your journey.
It was a fun listen. Thank you for posting!
Best regards,
Misha.

Hi Tano,
everything very cool about this laid-back Bossa. The tenor solo fits in brilliantly. Enjoyed the listen very much.
Happy New Year,
Stefan

"Tano Music"...
"Yoke Up!" is charming, cool, and elegant, all at the same time. I liked the slightly irregular verse lengths because they made your singing sound more spontaneous.
Your strings arrangement is lean, low-key, and luxuriant, a perfect companion to the percussion-flavored bossa nova rhythm. The organ shots are retro-fabulous, and Gary Smulyan's baritone sax riffs are strappingly sinuous.
You seem to write lyrics as easily a rolling a smoke! They lend a casual, off-the-cuff feel to "Yoke Up", as though you were a cocktail jazz pianist performing during "Happy Hour" in a local club, dropping clever one-liners and dispensing tidbits of personalized wisdom to your audience.
Dave Frishberg would appreciate "Yoke Up", I think. I sure do!
At the bar,

Hi Tano Music
I like this song, sorry for your computer HD, problem.... Something snapped in me, I haven't touched my keyboard in over a month! So I feel for ya.... I been trying to improve my vocals. I like the challenge of singing partial improvisation, right now on smule... I have never been happy singing to my own compositions... so far... Maybe, if I can find a style to sing in, I will use BiaB more effectively. This forum has a feeling of family, and you are definitely part of it.
Right now, singing on smule... is giving me a chance to look at lyric composition... and to listen to myself... maybe it's an option... to consider
