Charlie,
Very nice! Love the feel of this one - the banjo is also a great addition. Cool vocal and mix as well.

Charlie,
This is SUPERB!
A very interesting opening. The bass and brush made me think you might be doing a Tom-Waits-thing...and then it wasn't...the addition of banjo and chord piano was excellent. And the underlying synth, too...
The mix is excellent. The vocal sits perfectly.
The chord progression has a Jimmy Webb (Glen Campbell) feel to it.
A stellar write! When I first looked at the lyric, I wondered how this was going to work. Boy! did it! One of the best of the forum, I think - and that's some stiff competition.
You've talked a lot lately about "doing it right once". This fits the bill. But, boy! I hope you do it many times over...
This. Is. Excellent.

Really good mix of instruments - the brushes and the banjo really gell.
Excellent mix and a nicely written lyric.
Top quality all round.

Wow Floyd. Thank you so very much. I had no idea or hope of such a positive review from anyone on the forum. It's so encouraging because this song is a new write completely. I can't think of any other song I've posted that wasn't either a re-write of an old tune or simply upgraded remake using BIAB. I truly appreciate your comments. Thanks. Hi, Charlie !:))
This is just great music !

Dani Dani, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed your new song too. Always good to hear from you. Charlie

Peter Thanks Peter. I appreciate you taking time to listen and comment. The banjo really caught my ear too.

Charlie, I love the choice of instruments. The mix is perfect. The arrangement, together with the fine vocal, and the economy of words in the lyric set this up to be a beautifully executed mood piece. This is no doubt among your best. Great work! Tom

Great sound, very different than what I expected. Strong write and performance.
I see that I'm not the only one who will sometimes take an interesting part of a
chord progression from one song in BIAB and use it with a different style.
Very creative, enjoyed it!
Kenny

WOW this is top shelf all the way!
What a super combination of sounds and your vocal is perfect. A very nice chord progression as well.
This is a keeper.

Kenny I'm glad it was a nice surprise Kenny... Yes, I do a lot of auditions and troll the User Showcase looking for chord progressions and interesting instruments. The changes in 2017 Style Picker helped me a lot. Thanks for listening. Charlie WOW this is top shelf all the way!

This is superb. By any yardstick measuring any aspect it is superb.
The write, the performance and the band are all in the pocket and hittin' the note.
We'd rather listen again than parse it out.
I think we mentioned superb!
