This is a BIAB created song that I finally released with a video. I wrote this song a couple of years ago but never got around to formally releasing it. I've now decided to get my BIAB songs published and released even though they are not my most popular songs. Anyway, again I've decided to create and release a video for the song. The song has surprisingly been well received on the streaming platforms.

I'm not complaining and comments welcome but just so you know any suggestions on the mix or arrangement are a bit too late since the song is out and done. Cheers, Henry.

You always knock me out with your feel and soft vocal, Henry. I love your YT channel, and all the help you give for using BiaB. Absolutely wonderful song, and that soprano is so fine. Man, the video is so good; it fits like a soft-skin glove. Thanks for all you do, Henry.


Enjoy whatever happens!

It's good to hear another song from you. The mix sounds perfect to me. Excellent vocal, of course, and the song is quite memorable.

Catchy and oh so pro. Have you ever thought of shooting your own videos? That's the next step up. Lotta work, I know, but could be fun, and your music is certainly worth it. Some day I may try it.

I have a friend who's an independent film producer and VP of a larger production company. We discussed making a video where he
would create the storyboards and shoot the film but I decided to pass. It's more work than I wanted to put in. This is my last Album for a while. I'm going to take a long break and help other people. I just wanted to get my BIAB songs out and published before I took a break. Have you heard my entire Album. If you have Spotify I'll post the link below. The album is pretty MOR but that's ok with me :-)

Here's the Spotify album link:

Enjoyed the soulful melancholy mood in the lyrics and music. That mood is strongly present in that great sounding sax. Smooth band - nice selection of BIAB tracks, everything is mixed perfectly. Really pleasure to listen to, I'll certainly visit your Spotify album.

Mix and arrangement totally suck ... NOT grin

Absolutely nothing needs to be changed, it's a beautiful song with a great voice and great saxophone playing.

Pro all the way! Smooooooooth. laugh

The vocal seems a bit crispy to my ears, but they're old and tired.

I really enjoyed listening to this!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
