Smooth groove. Excellent choice of chords too. Totally cool tune for this rainy Monday morning in carolina.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Greg, this is really good. Your vocal was spot on and your backing tracks were super. I pictured myself back in the Caribbean Islands laying on the beach and drinking a beer. I did escape during this! Thanks Mario!! Glad I could facilitate a brief escape for you! Take care. Greg

Greg,
Right from the opening one knows this is going to be an enjoyable ride... (love those drums!)
Your writing is always a joy to behold. The words ALWAYS flow. There is music in your lyrics - the mark of a true Songwriter.
You have a "star's voice". Always a joy to listen to.
Oooh - that bass is nice. The piano sits nicely. The "little things" are excellent.
Well done all around.
Thanks for the escape...
fj Thanks so much for the kind review my friend!! Means a lot to me! Take care. Greg

Nice dreamy holiday sound from this,like a love boat theme . voice is strong and out front quite rightly so!
Great,mixed well, NIT….far too much fx on the vocals couldn't make out most of the lyrics and I honestly can say your vocals don't need that amount.
Thanks Thanks! Yeah, I do tend to get carried away with the fx sometimes! Thanks for the kind words! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
yes, these are terrible times and of course you are right: We're all more or less old farts here on the forum, and we'll have to ve especially careful, if we want to stay forum members after that desaster.
Over here still thousands of idiots acting like they are invulnerable, but those Florida spring break pictures we could (had to) see on TV showed once again that stupidity knows no borders.
So instead of hauling this old body to a nice and sunny, but probably deadly place I dreamt away with your wonderful song. Loved evrything about it, especially your vox!
Luckily us BIABers don't even know the word 'boredom', so this involuntary cocooning is much easier to bear...
This goes to all of you friends: Act wisely and please stay healthy.
All the best to all of you and yours,
Stefan Thanks Stefan! You stay safe! Take care. Greg

I think I have said this before, but your voice reminds me of George Michael and this song is even in his soulful style similar to the Older album. Such a smooth voice and backing, beautiful and relaxing. Lovely chord progression. The sax is sweet and the bass is hot chocolate.

Greg, A lovely smooth escape! The progression has just enough sophistication for the mood and your quality as a vocalist is, as always, paramount. That sax could have just kept playing into the sunset!

This is a beautiful 70s style easy listening song. As others have said, dreamy and soothing--just what we need now. Great lilting vocal.

Hello Greg,
This is a very lovely, dreamy song you made. With a beautiful sax in it! I do agree (a bit) with my forummember Stefan about our voluntarily chosen quarantine before there was something like Corona. Now that it entered our lives we can easely live as before. I'm only worried if I need a haircut and I will soon. All barbershops are shutdown!
But back to your song: It's nicely performed. Your vocals sound very bright in it! But I'm afraid I have a question about the bass-section. In my headphones this sounded a little too loud and was distracting me from the song as a whole. But don't bother if I'm the only on having that issue. By the way, I would like to read the lyrics as well. But having said that I will end with repeating the compliments on your song I began my post with. A very nice song!
Hans Thanks Hans! You've been posting a lot of cool stuff! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg, Beautiful song with is very soothing. So badly needed at this time in our world. As a lyric lover would have liked to be able to read them. Nice to be able to dream about being on the islands. Thanks Donna! Glad I brought you a moment of relief! Take care. Greg

Hi, Greg. I always look forward to hearing your songs, and this didn't disappoint at all. Nice easy groove, your excellent vocals. Sax sounds so nice when it comes in at the fade. I agree the bass may be a bit hot in the mix. I mostly noticed it because in some places - such as 2:06 - it seems to be working against the lyric. I enjoyed this one a lot! Thanks David! Yeah I will continue to play with the mix. Take care and stay safe! Greg

Super job on this Greg! This is my favorite work of yours bar none! The flowing melody along with dramatic chord changes exude greatness! It's pure 70's gold and that's something we need more of! Your vocal is perfect and your at the top of your game here! I could go on and on but just to wrap up I would say you have something to be very proud of and satisfied with! Thanks, Torrey

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
