Hi Forum friends. Been by a few times in the past few weeks and heard some great stuff!! Still need to catch up with other posts. This is a song that I created in BIAB, using a Bossa band. I never wrote a Bossa song before having BIAB, and the style has really inspired me. I will post the RTs and lyrics soon. I tried to post on Soundcloud but the site was not working for me. I have an account which it would not take me too.....irritating! So, here is the song on Youtube......apologies for having to hear the ads. Comments always appreciated! Take care. Greg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK6Abl36B3Y

DANG!! It's going to be a great day when I see a new song posted by you, Greg. Your voice is always the best, and the Bossa style is perfect for it. Great band and arrangement. Excellent lyrics. Skipping the ads is hardly a steep price for admission. I'd seriously wait in line overnight for a front-row spot, man. You got to tell us more about that muted trumpet. She plays like she helped write the song.

Hey Greg, This sounds great! It sounds like you are trying to channel some Sting with the "fortress around my heart" allusion and also the guitar from "Fragile." The whole vibe really. Am I correct??

Hi Greg,
I've never really tried to write or sing to the Bossa band sound, but your song has a really appealing sound to it. It just feels like an autumn sounding tune. Your vocals are outstanding and smooth as butter. At times, it resembles the song Autumn Leaves, at least for me. It's the kind of song that would fit right in as the soundtrack for the closing credits of some melancholy movie from the 60's or 70's. Nice, enjoyable listen. Thanks for posting.

Bossa and your songwriting skills is a match made in heaven. And of course your velvet voice seals the deal. Love it, love it, love it. More bossa in the future, please!

The Bossa style is perfect for the melancholy in the lyrics and the music.
Great acoustic solo and the muted trumpet is another deeply touching element in the excellent palette of instruments.
I don't have words to describe the amazing quality of the vocals... simply a haunting song.

Lovely singing, good write, interesting rhymes, and some really cool things happening in the arrangement (like the muted trumpet and the nylon string guitars).
The end seems to cut off a bit early.
As usual, I really like this!

Hi Greg,
This is a truly lovely song with top-quality vocals.
This is as good as anything I have ever listened to.
Truly professional music which I suspect will have commercial value.
Best of luck with all you do.

Your singing, as before, is smooth, pleasant, and expressive. You do a good job capturing the quality of your voice in the recording.
Nice song. Enjoyed it.
