Great write, very beautiful vacation images full of freedom and happiness. The same feel of ease can be heard in your vocals. I like the folky rhythm, like marching along old stone alleys. Nicely mixed, accordion, strumming and mandolin create a sunny feeling. Catchy classic chorus, getting better on each listening.

Strong imagery that would lead to a powerful
video!
Thanks for sharing what your vacation spawned.
Nice band, vocals, production and a mix that sounds superb on the monitors.
As Jim said, "I believe you have deftly captured your personal experience...
And conveyed it to me..."
That!

Even with the acoustic instruments, this comes across a a powerful song. Quality lyrics, melody, and vocal. I enjoyed this!

Deej,
Excellent work on this! Sounds big and happy. Arrangement and vocals shine! Mandolin was a very nice touch.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

David, Janne, Janice & Bud, Ezekiel, Misha and lambada:
I hate to have to bump this song up at this point, but I’d hate even more not taking the time to thank you for your listen and kind comments. I got busy right before Christmas with family coming in for the Holidays. I had thought I responded to everyone, but apparently not. So, only right to do so now.
My apologies for delayed response—your comments and support are so very much appreciated. Glad you all seemed to enjoy the tune.
Regards to you all,
Deej

Hi Deej, This is....  Where do you get your ideas from??? Does taking vitamins help? I'd love to get some of this kind of inspiration! These lyrics are extraordinary.... actually I'd better back up a bit first  Firstly, I'm a huge fan of AABA and you've presented a variation of it that I cannot recall hearing but it worked s-o-o-o-o well. The format I usually use is A1, A2, B, A3, Instrumental, B(repeat), A3(repeat). What you did by leaving out that third A-section before launching into the instrumental was a songwriter's equivalent of Van Gogh's expertise. Just wow! And that B-section... man it soars! Your band is superb and your production and your singing are breathtakingly excellent. As I sat here travelling with your lyrics, you lifted me out of the mundane and into a world of delight. It was such a good journey. The whole concept of being caught up in the death-throes of a rat-race existence and managing to survive by allowing one's imagination to bring some Tuscan escape and freedom is wonderful. I wish I had your ability to craft such tantalising, eidetic imagery. You've really pulled out all the stops with this one. All the best, Noel

Noel and Marty,
So glad you liked the tune . . . and sorry for the delayed reply. I'm finding it hard to settle down and spend some time here . . . plus the forum is moving sooo fast--so many new posts, with so many great songs . . . amazing to see. But, again, happy mine resonated. It's one of those personal songs, that every time I listen to it, bring me back to that moment when the song was born . . . under a beautiful blue sky, motoring along the Maremma coast.
Noel,
You are being very humble--you have that ability in spades. I don't write many "personal" songs, but this one was is about as close as it gets. On the boat, in the moment, removed from everything, I truly felt like I was indeed rising. Sadly, it was only temporary, LOL . . . but good while it lasted.
My best to you both,
Deej
