Hi Greg, What a lovely song we came across, going some pages back.  Your vocals are outstanding, we are particularly impressed with the higher sections in the vocal and how easily you reach those notes. Rob and Anne-Marie

Greg, this is absolutely fantastic. Great vocal! The mix was spot on; loved that muted trumpet and nylon string guitar.
I'm glad I caught this masterpiece.
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.

Greg,
Beautiful song!
The melancholic melody touches my heart.
What a wonderful vocal anyway.
The bossa has a little Latin flavor, which makes the song even more exciting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

This sounds, at times, like a mixture between a George Michael song ("Jesus to a Child" comes to mind) and a Sting song ("Desert Rose"?). You make it your own, though - and what a song - wow. Well done.

Cool bossa -- easy to imagine Diana Krall covering this.
Smooooth vocal and a fine band -- nice guitar.
Well done.

Hi Greg,
This is incredible!
I love bossanovas and you've really taken the genre and made it your own.
The bitter-sweet ambience created by the tempo, the chords, your superb melody and your exquisite singing is truly magnificent aural alchemy. It's the mixture of everything that adds together and creates something that's greater than the sum of the individual parts. Just wow!
Absolutely amazing stuff!
All the best,
Noel

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. Thanks so much Marty!! You made my day with that review!! Heard a great one from you a day or two ago! Take care. Greg

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?? Thanks David! Not sure which "Fragile" that is. Definitely stole that line for Sting. Didn't plan it but it fit the verse perfectly so I went for it. Hearing some great stuff from you lately! Take care. Greg

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. Thanks for the kind words Bawb!! Take care. Greg

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! Thanks so much!! Yeah, there will be more Bossa in my future! Take care. Greg

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.
Janne Thanks so much Janne!! Heard a really nice one by you a few days ago! Take care. Greg
