Champagne & Roses

Here is a song Leon & I wrote written probably about 40 years ago.
The original was a guitar and vocal on an old 4 track - lost in the dustbin of time.

Updated and sung by Janice, with a rockabilly piano based backing.

Janice - Vocal
Leon - Lyrics
Bud - recording Janice & mix advice
I played the guitar (and did a little midi programming on the bass fills etc).

The Band:
RealTracks in style: 2426:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlowSwing Sw 085
RealTracks in style: 2428:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm RockabillySlowSwingKevin Sw 085
RealTracks in style: 2427:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockabillySlowSwingBrent Sw 085
RealDrums [in Song:RockabillySlowSwing^06-a: Sticks, Hat, b: Sticks,

Champagne & Roses

Sometimes at the closing of the day
When evening starts to exercise her sway
Sky above the city turning midnight blue
My thoughts turn once again to you

And to incense and candle light, champagne and roses
These are the kinds of thing my mind discloses
Incense and candle light, champagne and roses
And the times I used to share those things with you

I see a couple walking hand in hand
Sometimes it’s as much as I can stand
I feel like I will always be alone and blue
I remember when I used to walk with you

(Thinking about) incense and candle light, champagne and roses
These are the kinds of thing my mind discloses
Incense and candle light, champagne and roses
And the times I used to share those things with you

No cobwebs on this Peter certainly passed the test of time.
Can't go too far wrong with Janice on vocals.
Great tune guys.

That's a really solid song.
The simple arrangement is perfect as is Janice's vocal.
Great guitar...made me want to hear the bpm upped though as it suggests a really swing RockaBilly thing.
I listened carefully for the midi bass fills and they are a little different tonally but only if I listen closely AND I'm probably imagining it.


Cheers

Hi folks,

that's the first song I've listened to on this forum for many weeks. And it immediately showed me how much I was missing.

Very, very nice - and it sems that it's custom-made for Janice (whom I adore anyway) - sung absolutely gorgeously.. A fine rockbilly song, well-arranged.

Lved the ending a lot - was it a 'bult-in' BIAB ending (which I think are really great sometimes) or your own idea? Sound is very fine, too.

Really well-done, take care, everybody,

Stefan

WOW!! I knew I'd like it when I saw Janice was singing. Man, what an outstanding backing track. You guys rock!! Great song. I'd like to hear the original but understand it's sitting in the dustpan of time where I have a whole section of stuff stored. That's a good write, guys, and a brilliant idea inviting Janice & Bud.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Peter & Leon (& Janice)...

A really nice write. Simple, but not mundane. Nice bricks and mortar.

A gorgeous vocal (duh).

An excellent arrangement/production. The MIX is outstanding. Every instrument (and vocal) is sharp/clear/in-its-own-space and then beautifully blended - outstanding!!! What a Great Mix should sound like.

A terrific listen.

Hi Guys,

This is a good song with a catchy beat.

All mixed, played and sung well.

Peter - I know you like your guitar back in the mix but it is very tasty and I would love to hear it more upfront.

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Peter!
Golly! Yeah, I said golly! It totally fits this time period tune. Could have jumped right off the my ole black and white 13 inch television watching Hee-Haw! Peter, your guitar playing has always left me wishing I could play like you! And Janice, CHILD if you were back in the days of Patsy Cline, she would have had some STIFF competition! Gotta love throwback tunes like this. They required skill and care, including the writing, Leon!

I know that when I see Peter, Janice, and Bud in one song I know that I'm in for some ear candy.

Everything has already been said so all I can say is I loved it.

Thanks Ray - I was pleased with the sound matching on the midi bass, I played the parts on guitar converted to midi and transposed them.

"lost in the dustbin of time", sounds like a song waiting to be written!

Love the rockabilly vibe happening on the guitar parts, Peter, great sound.

Good write, Leon! Cool that you guys have known each other for so long and are still making music together.

And of course Janice always sounds fabulous!

Excellent song you three, enjoyed.

I got a rockabilly vibe. I think it was the tone on Peters guitar. Very cool playing. Perfect backtrack for Janice's perfect vocal. Nice change up. So glad you blew off the dust on this song. Well done.

Classic country. As expected, Janice sounds like she's in her element, and the mix is clear and balanced.

Nice guitar work as well. Everything just works.

I read the lyrics before listening. Very good. They can stand on their own w/o the music. Tune is good too.

Is that Jerry Lee on the piano? smile

Janice gives this song the treatment.

Peter, the guitar bit blend in organically with the style/RTs.

Man, that solo is good!

Nice sounding oldie , back to basics where a think we should go now and again !,
Janice the vocals are as always spot on, but the bar set too easy for you .

Your vocal range(key set in the song ) in these collaborations you do , they seem too low for you in my listen !.

The track sound ,based on another person produced it ?.

I felt like again ,a lot of your collaborations that you hang back to fit the track in your vocals like a hang ?.

Don't know if you will agree with that or not, but me !!, i would rather hear more from your own camp !!.

You made it sound what it is by being the singer and doing the best to get it to shine.

Loved the vocals and the walking Bass !.

Thanks

Peter & Janice,

I'm in a good mood for the old 4-beat sound.
Janice's vocal is very sweet.
Your guitar work is outstanding as always.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Your vocal range(key set in the song ) in these collaborations you do , they seem too low for you in my listen !.

The track sound ,based on another person produced it ?.

I felt like again ,a lot of your collaborations that you hang back to fit the track in your vocals like a hang ?.

Don't know if you will agree with that or not, but me !!, i would rather hear more from your own camp !!.

You made it sound what it is by being the singer and doing the best to get it to shine.

Loved the vocals and the walking Bass !.

Thanks


Thanks! You can blame me for the key smile it’s chosen by me on all our J&B productions and collabs. I sang up in a very high range during our many bluegrass years but Bud has convinced me I’m a natural contralto. Glad you liked it!

J,B,P&L, this one has that great old time swing feel. Great vocal per usual! The piano is the perfect compliment and although not mentioned in the notes, it sounds like some C6 lap steel in there. Reminds of Junior Brown type fills. Leon’s lyrics prove he knew what he was doing even back then. Topped off with a fine mix, it all adds up to a wonderful listen, Tom

Thanks Tom.

No lap steel - I set up a harmony pedal on the helix to try and emulate something like a B-Bender.
