Such A Heavenly Woman on Soundcloud
Such A Heavenly Woman on YouTube

A song about the best in a relationship. wink You know how you start playing some chords, and words start to come out of your scatting hums? “Such a heavenly woman” came out, and a bit of sarcasm was added, then voilà. I must be a helluva man.

Such A Heavenly Woman

Intro: You're such a heavenly woman, I must be a helluva man.

Every time we have a fight I try to see the wrong we do.
I'm grateful for your guiding light that always points to why and who.

CH: You're such a heavenly woman, I must be a helluva man
who likes opposing attractions much like the yin and the yang.

Angel, if you ever die, I know I wanna be right there
to see if you would flit to fly or float off in the air somewhere. Cuz

CH: You're such a heavenly woman, I must be a helluva man
who likes exploring distractions such as sailing off in the sand.

BR: Why, every time that I suggest we could fly off into town,
I like to watch when you get dressed if your wings tuck in your gown.
Don't look down. SOLO

Ever since your silhouette came into my asile of view
I know that I will not forget your halo shining through. So it's true?

CH: If you're such a heavenly woman, well then I must be a helluva man
who likes supposing in fractions like there's still some yin in all yang.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty,

FUN! FUN! FUN!

A Great! mix. This truly captures a the-band-had-the-BEST-time-doing-this feeling. Not an easy thing to pull off in this digital world of ours.

Love the title. Well written. More fun!

Excellent vocals. (your best, I think). AAAHHHH that BASS!!!! The Drums are really in-the-slot.

Dave's guitar work fits perfectly. The solo is interesting - the group of notes starting at 1:50...coooool. The fills are EXCEPTIONAL.

So Much Fun. Loved it.

Music that makes me smile, light and catchy feel-good pop song with witty lyrics. Excellent package: the band, Dave's soloing, nice bassline, great vocals and enjoyable background vocals. There's lots of yin in this yang.

Hi Marty and Dave,

That was a helluva song, man!
And the same for the solo!

It is a very nice song, with lots of energy in it. Especially towards the end of the song. I liked that very much!

The mix itself is also very good (in my ears), so I think you have a winner with this song, a helluva winner!!

Hans
Ps: I wasn't able to get my compliments on Soundcloud, only a 'like' was possible. But a helluva LIKE!

Marty,

Everything you put out is always done so well! You are an excellent song writer and one of the best bassists around. That bottom end always does the job and sounds good! Great vocals and you can never go wrong with Dave on guitar...you both are pro's!!!

Thanks, Torrey

Marty,

That’s a helluva hook! Great write, wonderful arrangement and production. Love the harmony on “Don’t look down”—very cool. Dave’s guitar solo slays—just perfect for the song. Excellent collaboration, gents. Great listen!

Stay safe, stay well, both of you.

Nice (country) rocker. I went with the video (I like the videos you do).

Gold star lyrics:

"You're such a heavenly woman, I must be a helluva man"

That's a hook line that half of the writers in Nashville would give their left legs for.

Dave sounded outstanding. The band knew the tune well.

Good one.

Very cool lyric Marty. Loved the backtrack. Super vocal. Loved how Dave weaved in at out around the vocal. His solo was outstanding. Just love your waling basslines. Lays such a cool groove to the song. Well done

Thanks, Peter. I remember how I was blown away with how Dave handled the Bridge when he sent me the track. My favorite part of the song.
