Last year (2017) in August, I read the below post of Alan's and watched the videos that he linked to that post. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=427772In addition to his and Di's immense love of life, love of music and love for one another that Alan's videos showed, there was one line in his post, that my brain kept returning to. Don'tcha think she looks pretty danged good for 65 years old at the time??!! I don't know why, but every now and then, these words kept resurfacing in my mind. It was a slow journey, but eventually his comment morphed into "She's so beautiful to me" and, once that happened, a song began to grow. If you are interested in having a listen, here is that song. [Thank you Alan and Di  I dedicate this composition to you.] [Link no longer valid] Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the work. Regards, Noel P.S. Those of us who have been on the forum for a few years are aware that life has not always been generous to Alan and Di. Through whatever has come their way, though, they have kept shining and, moreover, they have kept shining brightly. I marvel at their resilience and their positivity. For me, they stand amongst the most inspirational people I have ever known. = = = = = BIAB Band1190: Bass, Electric, ModernRnBRock Ev 065 1676: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 065 1595: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop8thsSteady Ev 065 1539:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBelieveHeldDry Ev16 065 RealDrums: NashBrushBalDbKEv16^1-a: Snare, HiHat , b: QuarterHat, TripletSnare = = = = = LyricsThrough the leaves and branches Look at all that sunshine A new tomorrow and it’s breaking free You know, like the rising sun You are so beautiful to me When I’m on my own Just me and memories I’m usually smiling ‘cause you’re all I see You know, like the rising sun You are so beautiful to me I don’t know what each new day will bring for us What surprise will knock knock knock at the door But as long as you’re beside me skies are blue for us And life is true for us Come sunshine, rain or storm On all this planet So vast and awesome It’s here with you that I choose to be You know, like the rising sun You are so beautiful, so remarkable You’re the sunshine that makes my day You are so beautiful to me ©2018 Noel Adams, words and music, all rights reserved.

Very, very nice. The arrangement feels organic, tailored for the song. The balance between the instruments and the vocals is great. Your voice is pleasant, and a perfect match for the arrangement and lyrics. The held strum on the introduction is very effective, as are the other flourishes you've put in the song. Your little asymmetric Noel-isms come out smooth and natural. I like the chord changes going into "blue for us/true for us", and that rhyme works really well. Plus, it distracts me from the fact that you already used it at the beginning of the verse.

Hi Noel,
A fabulous song with wonderful lyrics, a super professional arrangement and a perfect mix.
This has to be your best vocal performance ever.
I sat and listened to it spellbound.

It is always pleasure to hear your new songs, they are always so positive, beautifully arranged with excellent vocals. This one is no exception, everything works perfectly, song that is "so beautiful, so remarkable the sunshine that makes my day". Your comments to other forum members' songs reflect also the same positivity that your songs. I feel I'm blessed to be part of this community where it is possible receive such a positive feedback and also get inspiration to songs from other members, like you have got here. Thanks Noel for sharing your new masterpiece and the story behind it Janne

Hey Noel,
This one gave me real goosebumps man. Just awesome--and beautiful.
I could blabber and go on and on, but really this one just seems to come straight from the heart and is so pure, it is really what music is all about.
The music and the phrasing reminds me of the best of Cat Stevens. It's hard to know what to say except that it is just so simple and so perfect.
Well done sir!!!

Noel,
A wonderfully heartfelt lyric, strong vocal and lovely, elegant melody...this is pure Noel!
Those three guitars blend seemlessly.
I concur with Janne : your beautiful songs and ever positive contributions are a highlight of this forum.

Extraordinarily beautiful Noel.
You've paid a superb and generous tribute to Alan & Di. They will be thrilled with your dedication.
Melodically and Lyrically this is just brilliant.
And your selfless comment that 'that life has not always been generous to Alan and Di'. I'm sure that might apply to others who visit here also. Wishing them all health and happiness for 2018 and beyond.
Trev

Wow, I really love how inspired everyone is here by one another! I think that's probably one of my favourite things about this forum. Everyone encourages and inspires everyone else's creativity! This was a really great song, and you made some really beautiful choices.
Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely tune Noel. I first want an excellent vocal. It was so tastefully down and expressed such a lovely lyric. The guitars in the background were the perfect choice. Well done

Noel,
What a wonderfully moving and touching song. I watched Alan and Di's videos, and like you was very impressed at their loving interaction. Your song is so well written. One of your best. Really enjoyed it!
Your Texan friend,
Steve

Hi Noel,
I left a couple of comments on your Soundcloud post not long after you posted it (thanks for the PM!). But i never got back here, until now, to leave a comment on this great forum.
Di and I are both so appreciative of this. It literally brought tears to our eyes. We can't thank you enough for rendering such a beautiful song that cma e as an inspiration from one of our forum posts. It sounds like Noel Adams - no one else. And that makes us very happy. That Adams guy is pretty danged good, you know!
we all have our challenges in life and sometimes get a burnt burger when we were expecting a steak. Every day is a struggle for her - and sometimes me - but we have a closet full of tenacity. I miss those days when she and I would spend hours in front of that camera and sing our silly butts off. And she's always been gorgeous to me.
Again, a personal and very heartfelt thanks for this masterpiece. God bless, my friend. And we send our love and well wishes for others on this forum who have to face uphill battles of their own.
Alan & Di
