LILAC SKY A seabird's flying Across a lilac sky; A mack'rel runs my line, And clouds sail by.. My heart is smiling As morning lights the bay; Wish you were here with me To share the day. I'm lost for any words to tell you how my spirit soars When in the awesome quiet of the great outdoors; There's something that's unspeakable And everything seems right-- Ask the gentle breeze And the honey bees-- They may have the words to tell you why.. The clouds are sliding; Let's catch them for a ride; So you can see, my love, The clear and wide LILAC SKY. ========================== _BOSPGS.STY.

Wow, that opening makes me wanna grab a pole and cast my lot enjoying the day with you. So, yeah, very inviting song for sure. Man, I dig that sax solo. So fine floating above the waves of this cool breeze of a song. At first I was taking aback (never a good or bad thing) when I heard your vocal come back to center, but quickly found it rather intriqueing (--also never good or bad).

Great Bossa Groove, cool lyrics, good song all around. Great Sax solo.
PS:The vocals moves from center to pan left, randomly.

Lovely Bossa TM - cool sax and lyrics, better wihout the vocal auto-panning in my view?
Your vocal sounded really full & warm for the first 42 secs - to my ears that suits this song really well!
Nice job otherwise - well done,
Carl

Re the vocal pan problem…I thought I could go back in today and quickly fix it, but since I rebuilt my entire system a few weeks ago, I see now that my “quick touch” would require some minor reconstruction, which I will eventually do, but not today. Sorry to have let this glaring mix problem make it through.

Swings nicely.
That rapid pan could be a feature rather than a bug but, personally, I'd fix it.
Cheers

I really like the lyrics in this one. I spend much of the year camping and spending mucho time in the great outdoors, so this is right up my alley. I enjoyed my listen, Tom

Mario/AudioTrack/Ray/Tom…thanks for the kind comments and for the encouragement to “fix the mix”.
Regarding the lyrics…I really enjoy camping in western NC, but the whole story got started because I already had the melody done. I kept hearing a potential match with “a (blank-blank) sky”, but was getting nothing. Then I happened to be thinking about Spokane, where I lived for many years—it’s called “The Lilac City”..click! The lyric story came from that. I worried a little that there is no such thing as a sky that is lilac-colored, but the phrase was too good to not use it.

Fantastic write and nice smooth jazz feel. Super use of BiaB instruments in a super arrangement. Like your vocals a lot, but I'd lose (or reduce) the doubling since it's more of a pop styling than jazz. Great job!

I'm a fan of bossa nova, so I enjoyed your song. Only the sound of the vocals in refrain disturbed me. Was there some kind of phase problems? Sounded like a flanger or comb filter effect.
Did you play your self that wondeerful sax solo?

You have a pleasant laid back song here, Tano Music.
I agree the vocals need fixing. Also you may consider turning down the volume of the sax but only in the fills, not the solo.

All, I appreciate the good, honest feedback! I knew I needed other ears to adjust the mix.

Nice ride ... watching the wind chimes on the porch sway to it as we listen.
Good write and band choice.
Enjoyed it!

Hi Tom,
Great song - not the least bit unusual for you.
Almost any song in Bossa Nova will get my attention. And this particular song is a good example of why. The softness and gentleness of your vocal delivery caresses the ears.
A personal opinion: I would bring the bass more forward in the mix (louder)..Nonetheless, it was a wonderful listen.
Best to you,
Alan

What a beautiful song title inviting me to listen to it. Love the lyrics, the awe of nature and blossoming love. The bossa style fits perfectly well, your emotional voice soars and that sax... such a wonderful addition to the tune, excellent playing. Pure heartwarming beauty in its simplicity.
