Hi forum friends. Been listening to a lot of great music on here lately! This is another Michael Franks style attempt at a romantic tune. I love Latin music! I was pretty blown away how well Brent's solo fit the tune.......I slipped him a few extra bucks! Anyway, I would love to hear what you think! Take care. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/whenshetalkstomeWHEN SHE TALKS TO ME When she talks to me, I'm intoxicated by the sound And suddenly, there's no one else around I drift off in a pleasant daze To swaying palms and blue sky bays I don't know what to say When she talks to me When I see her smile, and hear the music of her voice (She has no intention to beguile; she doesn't have a choice) I'm a silent fool, just mesmerized As I float inside her warm brown eyes I start to fantasize When I see her smile It's a mystery Is it magic, is it alchemy? It's like a chemical reaction in my soul Wires cross and currents flow I'm dizzy cause she moves me so I spin out of control When she talks to me When she talks to me...

(She has no intention to beguile; she doesn't have a choice) Oh yeah.
Just stunningly beautiful how that Latin rhythm, your fragile yet powerful vocal range, melody, lyric and perfect phrasing come together to express love. Loved it.

Really, really nice - vocals, instrumentation, lyrics, mix... All top notch. But especially the vocals. You can really sing!  My only nit is the flute solo at the end - it sounds "fake", mostly because it lacks vibrato. If you're interested, PM me and I'll be happy to render you some of my VSTi flutes so you can complain about my choice in flutes.  (My actual flute playing isn't anything to write home about). Anyway, love this song!

Wonderful!
I love latin music too, and man, you just nailed the vibe perfectly with this one, Greg!
Love the melody and of course the vocal, and you are right, that guitar solo is perfect.
Enjoyed!

Hi Greg,
What a really wonderful listen. You sure have the knack for fine songwriting and equally fine song-presenting! It's as it your gently soothing vocals caress the listener's emotions and imagination and they fit hand-in-glove with this Latin-styled backing. I don't think you could have chosen a better instrumental ensemble.
From the first note to the last, I found this enchanting, mesmerising and terrific listening.
All the best,
Noel

Greg,
ZOWIE!
I don't know what to say when you "talk" to me! Completely blown away.
GORGEOUS songwriting.
GORGEOUS production.
GORGEOUS vocal.
The nylon guitar solo is extraordinary! Sounds like you had someone play specifically for this.
A beautiful mix.
One of your best. And THAT is saying something!! (ALL you songs are excellent).
YOU should be a star, dude.

Nicely done! The Latin touch was incredible, and your vocals and the instruments are both stunning. It's an absolutely beautiful tune, and a fine example of quality songwriting. It is tender, romantic, and gorgeously textures. You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

There are a good number of fine vocalists on this board, but your voice is my favorite. Excellent lyrics. I teach my students the importance of good beginnings (essays and stories). The same holds true for songs. What an engaging opening lyric:
When she talks to me
I'm intoxicated by the sound
And suddenly,
there's no one else around
Good stuff!

Hello Greg,
this is just wonderful - you're creating such a great mood.
The composition and the arrangement are already top-notch, but your vocals hit the ball over the fence - EXCELLENT !!!!
Take care,
Stefan

Greg,
Stellar vocals that show a great feel for the rhythm of your well written, seductive song.
Amazing guitar track,as you say.I tend to agree a more organic sounding flute would be nice, but that`s very minor- you are into a great groove with this style of music!

Well it's early and on the first page but all the superlatives have already been grabbed. Seriously.
Mr.Johnson has exited the stage now who the heck wants to follow that?
Take everything members said above, squeeze it all into a ball and that'll be our thoughts.
OK, we'll add a word SOPHISTICATED.
Wonderful!

Very cool tune Greg. Loved the way you mixed the vocal on this song. Loved the backtrack and choice instruments. This song really showed off your range. Such a cool vocal. Well done Greg.

The superb chording and beautiful melody work amazingly well together. Flute melody on the background is nice addition. Lyrics are sweetly romantic, like a perfect movie experience. And your voice is the final strawberry icing on the cake. I would like to hear a whole album full of these treats Janne
