Putting the final touches on this one, in the works for a long time--retirement is great!! If you've never been, this place is a bit of heaven on earth! Five Little Towns Tiny jewels like pretty maids Sit on hidden palisades; Oh how lovely! FIVE LITTLE TOWNS. An unassuming chain of pearls, Their stunning beauty draws the world To these FIVE LITTLE TOWNS. Monterosso's by the sea; Vernazza, then just a walk to see Corniglia; FIVE LITTLE TOWNS. In Manarola catch the train To Riomaggiore, then back again; So charming they capture your heart; And you don't want to part; This is how life is done! Just sit here and greet the sun. And be here when evening comes. FIVE LITTLE TOWNS. Tiny jewels set on the sea, It's how the world was meant to be; Oh, how lovely! FIVE LITTLE TOWNS. In these towns I want to stay; I'll leave to keep their innocence this way But just a few days-- These FIVE LITTLE TOWNS I know will never leave me. ===================== Style is _RIOMOON.STY (Rio Moon Energetic Samba) RealTracks in style: ~~921:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 110, ~~925:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 110, 1104 Nylon Guitar, 2180 Elec Guitar Solo RealDrums in style: BossaLewis Midi source: SampleTank3

Nice work on this one, Tano! Very subtle and calming, and your vocal performance is right on the money. I love the samba influence here - it meshes perfectly with both your voice and the lyrics. Great job and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

The lyrics and vocal style are very Bob Dorough, and it works with the bossa background. Good songwriting.

The workaholic in me doesn't ever want to retire. When that time does finally come though I hope I choose to fill my spare time with making cool things still!
This song is a really great one. I especially love the drums!
Cheers,
Ember

So retirement is the trick to getting more music done? I'll have to add it to my to-do list!  Nice song, like a pleasant stroll through a quaint village.

Thanks, folks, for listening and your comments...in case you haven't figured it out, this song is about the Cinque Terre towns in northern Italy.

Hello, Tom
It is a wonderful song where your true value is demonstrated.
Very good melody with really nice chord progression.
Your vocal is very comfortable.
And as usual Jobim comes out in places.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Totally agree with retirement. Many years into it.
We really like the bossa vibe.
This lovely song makes us to want take a bicycle tour of them.
Very nice!

Very interesting the way you tamed this "energetic" samba. Some kind of strings in there, too, but I couldn't figure out from your list.
