Hello fellow BIABers!! Just getting back to my musical Homefront, and hearing some great stuff!! This is another one using my fave band.....the backpacker combo with Vancouver piano, bass 366, and Brent's acoustic R&B. Hope you enjoy. Would love to hear what you think. Take care. Greg



Down on Your Love

Been too long
Since a happy song
Made its way to your ears
Out there on your own
Too much time alone
Makes the days feel like years

Although sometimes if feels like this road never ends
Things might look that much brighter around the next bend

Your just Down on your love
When you need it the most
Seems you can’t get enough
Try to stay strong
There’s better days up ahead
Baby. Your just down on your love
Just open your mind to the heavens above
Keep holding on
You’ll find the sun is shining again

Take in mile by mile
Try to find your smile
And see where it leads
I’ll do what I can
Try to lend a hand
Give your soul what it needs

Girl, I know it feels like light years away
But this world of ours turns around every day

Your just Down on your love
When you need it the most
Seems you can’t get enough
Try to stay strong
There’s better days up ahead
Baby. Your just down on your love
Just open your mind to the heavens above
Keep holding on
You’ll find the sun is shining again

Beautiful, beautiful song - sung by THAT crooner voice. A joy to have you back, Greg - missed your unique brand of musical magic.

Ah, I was hoping for that saiing song you mentioned, but, dang, you never disappoint, Greg. What a wonder song with such a polished vocal. Great arrangement and style. Yeah, you got style. Professional presentation. Love the melody and how well you sing it. That bass is so good, as are the backing vocals. Everything in the song supports the vocal. When the vocals are that good the rest of the song sails smoothly.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Greg...first off I love the style you chose...I've used that band often and it compliments so many songs so well...that being said this is the best I've heard using it...your songs are so well presented primarily because of your vocal talent...it is pro-quality all the way all the time...this is lovely...you are a master at subtle and super BGV's...everything about this is exquisite!

It is a crying shame that you are not famous.
You are one of the best songwriters I've ever known
I could provide you a list of hit songwriters I have known smile You belong on that list.

Everybody LOVES to hear you sing. The world is missing out.

Every song you post sounds like it probably came off the radio (when radio was good)

I am a fan.
Everyone should be.

Very cool song. Sounds like it could be a lost Carol King classic. Very tastefully arranged, SUPER vocals and those BGVs are insanely good. THANKS for treating us to this!

Hey, Greg. Whenever I say "I like it" about one of your songs, this is exactly what I mean:

Howdy Greg....

All the previous comments reflect my views also.
A good write, for sure.
You a have a style all your own with a great voice to match....smooth, melodic and very appealing to listen to.

Great job!

Carry on.

Another beautiful performance. I never get tired of that backing band. Definitely top 40 material for back in the day. It's good to hear one of your songs again.

Greg,

I'm a big fan of your songwriting and vocals. "Old School" is one of my favorite songs I've heard on this forum. This song is spot on from a production and vocal perspective. It's got a very 80's feel to it . . . Something Christopher Cross might have done. Gosh, that said, it's missing something for me . . . which is a totally, thoroughly subjective (and likely wrong) opinion . . . because there's not a single thing I can critique . . . it's excellent in all respects. Go figure . . . that's just music. But it's a brilliant effort.

My very best to you,

Deej

Greg, I am glad that you are back into music again. You are way to talented in making music.
You have such a great voice.
Great backing band and mix.
Keep them coming.
