Hee Beatmaster, the 60's entered my head when listening to your song!
Nicely done. Especially that piano, the background 'ahha's'and your somewhat sharp nasal voice gave that feeling. Very good!
What times it were...

Nice day,
Hans

Hello Beatmaster ...

Steve said much if what I was thinking. As the son g started, I immediately thought of Frankie Avalon. I can see Frankie singing this to Annette on the beach or at a sock hop (how many folks here remember them??!!).

Loved this retro sound ... you did it so convincingly. Best to you ...

Very pretty and easy to listen to song. A nice vocal and a really nice choice of instruments and melody.

Very well done.

Your voice brought to Janice memory of an old Elvis Costello album.

Then I envisioned him transported back to the early 60's singing a slow dance song at a sock hop!

Your vocal is perfecto for this production -- cool BGV's also.

Great band...all that was needed.

The write and melody nail the feel for this period.

Lovely little guitar touch also.

Enjoyed it!

That is a retro song if I ever heard one. Sounded like the late 50's kind of thing. Sock hop, brill-cream, and soda pop..... nice work

Hey beatmaster,

very nice, in a positive sense old-fashioned sog. Like the Rhodes. Good singing, very clear mix. Just good and most enjoyable.

All the best,

Stefan

Song is easy to listen and get absorbed in a nostalgic vibe. Enjoyed the backing vocal treatment and your lead vocal was top notch.

Great song. Love that late 50s-early 60s sound. I can imagine me and my missus slow dancing to this one!
