Okay back to jazz. First recording with BIAB 2015 and new Focusrite 6i6. https://soundcloud.com/carolyne-swayze/speechless-bluesSpeechless Blues
You leave me speechless, I can’t even say the time of day It’s most annoying, this disruption to my communique You think it’s cute, when I’m rendered mute Baby, I wish you’d just go away. You leave me speechless, just watching the way you walk This lack of prose is disturbing, ‘cause a girl with attitude has to talk But it’s when you’re close, words fail me the most Oh Baby I wish I could be verbose You leave me speechless, I can barely make a sound My vocabulary’s useless anytime you’re hanging around First I stutter, next I mutter … Silly words that come out all upside down I’m left speechless by the way you say my name This lack of elocution is a low down, dirty shame I’m dumbfounded, so confounded, amazed, and abused Somebody help me find a way to end these speechless blues Copyright 2015 Carolyne Swayze All Rights reserved JAZZ NYC -Slow Ballad w/NY Piano 12 bar blues chords Acoustic NY Piano Acoustic Bass Tenor Terry Clarke sticks

Carolyne
Wow, you've nailed another one!
Loved the scat too, and the way the lyrics fall in the cracks, and the dominant bass throughout.
This has really worked well. Top vocal.
Great number.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Carolyne.
Please excuse my ignorance but jazz is like another language to me.
This tune does work well and you sing it pitch perfect.
Good Job.

Listening to you sing this style is like watching a dolphin leaping out of the water - it sounds like you are in your element, and nothing could be more natural.
Nice production as well.
I'm a bit confused listening to the lyrics, though. Does the singer really "wish you'd go away?" or are they kidding? I'm guessing that's the case, and if the song ended along the lines of:
"Won't you help me find a way to end these speechless blues"
I'd be more certain. But as written, I get the impression that the singer is more annoyed than playful.
Dang, I'm in a picky mood tonight, sorry. Don't let me give the impression that this was anything less than delightful to listen to.

Dang, I'm in a picky mood tonight, sorry. Don't let me give the impression that this was anything less than delightful to listen to. LOL! Thanks David. The singer is blissfully annoyed by the effects this person has on her, making it difficult to even speak. She is full of contradiction... "I wish you'd go away". That's not really what she wants. The beauty of Jazz is that it is full of complexity and uncertainty, and can be interpreted however you choose. - Carolyne

You are at your best when you do Jazz. Your vocals have such a natural feel and your confidence is evident. It is a perfect blend between the singer and the music. This was really nice.

A good write, Carolyne...
Excellent vocal. Sung with heart - playful and meaningful...
Nice instrumentation and mix. The best compliment I can give is... you make me want to try doing a number like this - you show off this side of BIAB so well...
Enjoyable.

Great tune! Great feel! Wonderful lyric! I think Jazz is your wheelhouse. Love the classic lyric style of the long gone great standard writers. It was pretty clear to me that the lyric was playful. Rhymes were clever and interesting. Great work all around! Take care. Greg
BTW, congrats on your award for the showcase neighbor!!

BTW, congrats on your award for the showcase neighbor!! Thanks neighbor. Congrats to you as well. There are so many songs on the forum. I'm so busy, it's hard to get around to all of them. I did finally get to listen to Paradise. My kind of song, both lyrically and melodically. Great job. Okay, see ya round the neighborhood! -Carolyne

Carolyne this is absolutely fantastic. You have an excellent voice and your backing tracks are perfect.
I could picture Eartha Kit, Lena Horn or Ella singing this one!
Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

Hi Carolyne, Almost missed this one! Bumping it up again! A smile on my face all through the song. Opens like a Marilyn Monroe, evolves to Ella... But Carolyne all the way! Did I tell you already I love your voice  See you around! Fred

Thanks one and all! A big MWAH to PG Music for the reign it has given artists to express themselves, particularly on the jazz side.
