Secret ObsessionAnother one I wrote when Di was in the hospital last year. After spending the entire day with her in her room (9:00am - 11:30pm) I went home and put this together. Had it ready by 3:00am the following day back in November last year, but never got around to posting it until now. It has a pretty simple arrangement ... nothing complicated going on here. Hope you enjoy it. When SoundCloud converted it, it lost some of the low-end bass. Oh well! But, did I get the drums track a little to loud on the verses. I'm okay with the drums significantly forward in the chorus. Should I back off the drums in the verses? BTW ... Di said to tell everyone "Hello". Although far from well, she is doing somewhat better.

Al, two things
1: The song is sensational. Smooth, sleek, comforting, all blended into a perfect mix.
2: Great news that Di is improving. Keep moving in that same direction.

Back off in the verses - yes, just a little so the kick click isn't so obvious.
Smooth as olive oil and just as nourishing.
All the best to Di.

Hello. Alan. Happy day-after birthday. Glad to hear about Di. Love this tune. There is a lot of emotions in this, and your backstory tells us why. I hear sadness, happiness, reverie and hope. You guys sound like a great combination.

Hello Alan,
so good to hear another great tune coming out of Alan's Magical Juke Box.
Once again so very nicely written and produced - some folks used the word 'smooth' - and, yes, that's what it is: smooth and warm.
You really seem to know every secret of BIAB, and the speed you put your great songs together is simply amazing.
Maha and I really hope so much that there will be no need for Di to spend time in the hospital in the future !
Alan, I love your songs.
All the best to Di and you, and, as Floyd wrote: Stay in.
Stay healthy,
Stefan

Smooth jazz at its best. Well done.
I wouldn't change a thing.
The best to you and Di.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Stefan Hello Stefan .. I always smile when I see a comment or song from you ... makes my day! First, Di and I hope Maha is getting better as the days pass. We think of you and her quite often. And thanks for you well wishes for Di. She's doing a little better today. "Magical Juke Box"? I like that! I'm delighted you en joyed this song. BIAB deserves most of the credit ... I just fill in some chords, find a few tracks and a basic style ... then BIAB does the rest. But thank you for those kind words. I know so little about the technical elements of BIAB it's almost exciting. I know enough to put together a half-way decent song. I need to study many of its secrets still unknown to me. Wishing you and your beautiful wife the very best. As i said, we think of you two often ... almost daily Alan & Di

Alan,
Very nice smooth jazz ballad.
The guitar solo is very comforting.
It's just like it was played by you yourself.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
And it's a great news that Di is improving.
Best regards.
