Nice.... it kinda reminds me of a smokey hole in the wall basement half empty jazz club.... and..... a bit of "Old Blue Eyes" in the feel.
Not everyone can pull off a believable male slow jazz tune of this nature. The vocals fit like a velvet glove and the lyrics.... man, those lyrics are right on the spot with a theme that follows through from start to finish comparing love to the seasons.
This is a prime example of how 2 people can collaborate and the end result is greater than the individual parts. Nicely done guys.

Greg, that's a lovely lyric and delivery. The backing is smooth and on point except for the synth/midi string line that runs almost throughout - it's a little synthy and the level fluctuates with notes. I reckon you could throw some delay, reverb and cut off some high end to make it sit better but, then again, the strings in 2019 would probably sit even better. Nice work and a terrific narrative. Thanks so much Ray! The strings are sampled but it is a lower end set and I am a low end programmer. Really appreciate the listen and the kind words! Take care. Greg

Greg / Eddie,
This is an outstanding song... The lyrics, vocal, arrangement and mix are all pro-level.
Beautiful all around.
Bob Thanks Bob! I have a guy in SF who mixes for me and is much, much better at it than I am. I was surprised how much better he can make me sound. Loving what you're doing these days! Take care. Greg

This simply oozes class and sophistication. Harkens back to the early Capitol Sinatra years during the early 50's. There is a wonderful coming together of every element in the song...the lyric, melody, arrangement, terrific vocal and the perfectly selected backing tracks. Gorgeous! J&B Thanks so much guys! I always appreciate your kind words AND your song posts!! Take care. Greg

Greg (and Eddie Icelander), this is great. The lyrics (the double meaning of Autumn Leaves is nice), the vocals, the backing, the production - everything about this is top shelf. Thanks for sharing Greg. Cheers, Mike

Nice images of nature in the lyrics, combined with the feelings of love in coldness, clouds, storms, rain, blooming flowers... holding on like last leaves (I like the leaf-filled wordplay). Superb vocals and simple but effective backing track. Ageless music.
Janne Thanks Janne! The title was from Eddie. It just inspired that metaphor. Interesting the way things work. Love hearing your stuff!! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg and Eddie, I think that Janice and Bud have hit this very musical nail on its head perfectly when they say...  This simply oozes class and sophistication. Hearkens back to the early Capitol Sinatra years during the early 50's. There is a wonderful coming together of every element in the song...the lyric, melody, arrangement, terrific vocal and the perfectly selected backing tracks. Gorgeous! Thanks so much Noel! Appreciate your kind words. Love your new one dedicated to your mom! Take care. Greg J&B A terrific listen. I love how you've used the two meanings of "Winter leaves" to create such a wonderful lyric. All the best, Noel

Hey Greg, and first of, I'm sorry this publication of the piece passed me by for so long. All I can say is you took something that was maybe somewhat decent, and turned it into something utterly brilliant!  p.s. And if you don't believe me, just take a look at how much more attention your version got compared to mine (hmph!)
