Hey Bob, I enjoy these old style jazz songs you come up with, something different than what everyone else is producing here. Good groove, good sounding band. Love the harp solo! Thanks, Dave! I only did blues most of my life, then I finally got a little bored with it and branched out.

Hi Bob. This is an excellent groove and an equally excellent listen. I love bossanovas. I also compliment you on the use of Suno. It's a very convincing performance that you've created. And your harmonica playing sits perfectly in the arrangement and mix. This is a first-class production. --Noel Thanks, Noel, I appreciate the kind assessment!

Beautiful, smooth Bossa nova, well written and arranged, and despite your complaints that your Suno vocals aren't perfect, I actually think they're pretty good and perfectly support to the song. Enjoyed my listen ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain, I'm so glad the vox work for you. As far as Suno goes, I've been putting my best foot forward, but I have a lot of songs with glitchy Suno vocals I'll eventually unroll. You'll hear what I'm talking about then.

Ah, man, this is the best. You always post the best stuff, Bob. I realized when I saw your profile pic and thought, "Oh cool, another new one to hear." Love that Bossa, and your whole production. Excellent choice of singers, too. Oooo, that sweet harp with the perfect melody to accompany this gem. Keep 'em comin'g, Bob. Marty, thanks for the glowing review, I really appreciate it! I was pretty happy with the harp solo this time out, as opposed to what I did on "Body and Soul."

The below verse is such vivid imagery.
“This trying agony of looks askew
Wondering what the other one might do
Caught up in a web beyond our ken
Waiting for the gods to just say when”
It so well describes relationships that are headed for the end.
Your fine lyric is a perfect match for a bossa feel.
Your SUNO guy delivered well.
We love your harmonica!
Great mix and so smooth!
Enjoyed it,
J&B

Rob,
Very nice groove.
It's a very smooth bossa nova.
I'm sure Jobim would be pleased if he heard it.
Suno's vocals are perfect for this song.
And your harmonica is great too.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

This is STUNNING!!! Really, really beautiful. Deceptively simple chords, masterfully turned into a really beautiful song by someone who clearly knows exactly what they are doing, and how to do it. What wonderful lyrics, too! I loved it all - bravo.

Smooth and classy. I'm imagining men in black ties and women in evening dresses. Excellent tune. The synth vocal fits the genre perfectly.

Lovely, smooth bossa vibe with a great harmonica solo. Lovely use of BiaB instrumentation, too.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
