Hi all, For this song, the piano is played by Miles Black (RT 811) and Kevin (Synthesizer v) is singing. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/id-never-have-thoughtI'd never have thought She’d smile at a guy like me I’m not really a handsome man Nature does what it can I’m just looking for guitar licks Writing some poetic lyrics I'd never have thought That the current would pass Talking over a glass I'd never have thought She could kiss a guy like me I know I’m not Marlon Brando But a lucky fellow I’m just a little songwriter Seeking to make a World better

That piano is lovely. And the vocal from Kevin is nicely done.
Sometimes all you need is a piano and a vocalist.

Chris, lovely little tune! Really credible playing by the RT left out in the open, and Kevin is in fine voice. Cool lyrics, too. Well done!

Wow, you never cease to amaze, Chris. Good lyrics, and such a fine song. Black is my favorite BiaB piano man, too. Man, Good job with the synth vocal too.

Thanks Herb, Elliott, DC Ron and Marty for your comments.
As there's just a piano on this song, I've tried to create a rather rich chords progression.

Great, laid-back song ... I love this kind of song. As the others above have written, sometimes a piano and a voice is all that is needed. Love the harmonic progressions. Kevin sounds fine. Bravo.

................... I've tried to create a rather rich chords progression. Chirs, you didn't try you created a very rich and melodic chord progression for that piano - brilliant! A good synth vocal and some fantastic lyrics, all mixed to perfection. Great job on this one.
