Very nice song and liked the video as well. Maybe you could try not to sing so exactly in-takt. Meaning, loosen up, sing a little smoother. If you can turn off the drums to record your voice, try that.
I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

A team up with Dan and Marty? This had no chance to be anything other than a fantastic song and it was. Great job, I really enjoyed it.
Brad Thank you, Brad! A great song all around.
The sax really does it for me!
Well done. Thanks, Steve. I used two different alto soloists, but to me they seem pretty seamless, something that couldn't be done without partial regeneration. Love this software. Marty
Lovely sentiment, and a pretty song, well produced and performed.
Excellent work.
Peter Thank you, Peter! I'm jealous: you write about love without being mawkish. That's something I cannot do.
The percussion is an interesting fresh twist to this mix.
That voice & that bass fit everything you do oh so well that it's like a sonic glue for the rest.
Lovely stuff Marty, lovely. Haha. Thanks, Ray. Sometimes I know I'm a bit to mawkish with my feelings. The percussion and that one agressive guitar that comes in for parts of the verses are additions where some have expressed displeasure. To me they add other dimensions to the song, and lord knows our relationship has had plenty of those. [I should have some positive Reactionary news by the end of next week. Please don't give up on this enthusiastic granddad.]

This is the highlight of your new album just like the other 10 songs  The song is full of beautiful romantic lines like "Now every night we live with what we found/that night we started out alone". Classic love song in a classic ballad sound from the soundtrack of your life, has nice European vibe. Love the sax, always perfect for a perfect love song The strings fit excellently, wish they were mixed more upfront because they sound so great, but I understand that the organ and the piano are already competing with them, anyway they all create a lush and warm description of That Night. And your vocals are truly heartwarming. Janne

Wonderful!
You guys play together like you've been in a band for years.
I might have made the piano a little louder (Dan will agree), but all in all it's a solid mix.
I LOVE the sax parts and your arrangement in general.
Well done by both of you! Thanks, Brain. Yeah, I'll admit we've both been in bands for years but I know what you mean and appreicate it. Dan is seamless in whatever he does. A true pro. It was tough getting all of those pieces together. I brought the piano up here and there, especially in the last verse. I should really put out a version with just Dan's strings and piano --they are so good. Very nice song and liked the video as well. Maybe you could try not to sing so exactly in-takt. Meaning, loosen up, sing a little smoother. If you can turn off the drums to record your voice, try that. Thanks, Wolfgang. I'm so pleased that you give me advice on how to make the vocal track better, and i'll try it. Unfortunately, I don't think of myself as a singer --just a bassist who writes songs. hehe My best singing is strumming a guitar and wailing it out, but no one wants to hear that either. I know my songs could be so much better with real singers, but... I'd try synths like many here, but it would likely take me too long to figure them out.

There's a map showing the 3 people who listened, and there's a big star right over your house. Yes, you're right, those strings add so much and they're so well crafted. Like I mentioned to Brain above, I should post a version of just Dan's contribution so you all can hear just how valueable it is.

Excellent tune Marty. Just loved the sax. Cool 50's vibe. Slow dancing with the sweet heart at the prom. Well done.

Hi, Marty. What they said - a sentimental throwback that works! It's a very pleasant listen.
