Noel,
I enjoyed everything about this! Others have beaten me to the " should be in the movies" endorsement- its wonderfully in sync with the style and feeling of those singing and dancing shows. Super vocal and production.
Robert Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and having a listen. I really appreciate the visit and the comments. All the best, Noel

Love the lunary imagery right out of the gate. Did you happen to catch the eclipse the other night?
Awesome song, thanks for sharing. Hi Ember! I didn't get to catch the eclipse but when I was writing these lyrics, I had the below image of a super-moon open on my desktop. This gave me the opening lines! (I've found that when I'm stuck for words, looking at a picture often helps.) It's a strange and stunning phenomenon how a rising moon can sometimes seem incredibly huge -- magnified by the earth's atmosphere. Then, as it rises higher in the night sky, it shrinks back to its normal size as seen from Earth. Thanks for passing through the thread  All the best, Noel

Lovely arrangement Noel - clever work with the lower end of piano vs bass - many, many people forget about that aspect of arranging. The song is really good and you've demoed it well with your voice - You really are on the notes. Well done in all areas. Cracker tune. Hey Ray, Thanks for visiting. I always like reading about how you hear my songs. I'm glad you had the time. Thanks again! Noel

Wonderful work - straight out of the movies as noted above. Trumpet is enchanting and the lyrics uplifting, and beautifully presented. Top quality all the way.
Peter Hi Peter, This is a period in the development of modern music that really appeals me. I believe that the days of Tin Pan Alley saw melodists and lyricists reach some dizzying heights. That so many songs from this period still populate people's repertoire today is testimony to the talent of these yesteryear songwriters. Thanks for passing through the thread. All the best, Noel

Absolutely perfect in every way.
What a sensational backing, placed together with an equally matched vocal accompaniment.
The balance and entire mix is absolutely perfect.
Another masterfully delivered number, Noel!
Trev Hi Trev! It's always a pleasure to see you. Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment. Really appreciate it. All the best, Noel

Really beautiful Noel!
Those lyrics are sublime and your vocals are outstanding!
What settings did you use in Nectar to process the vocals? They are so warm and clear.

This made me smile the second I listen to the first line of the song. Super clear mix and excellent work.
Cheers,

Noel, I loved the use of the different bass tracks. Your arrangement is put together with great skill and your vocal styling is smooth and perfect for the genre. Crystal clear mix that just can’t be improved in any way. Another uplifting gem for your catalog. I immensely enjoyed it, Tom

Hi Noel,
Absolutely no one does this period stuff better than you.
So relaxing.
Perfect in every respect.
This is just very classy throughout.
ROG. Hi ROG, I don't often read "classy" in the same paragraph as my name! Thanks for that  This is a period in music that I really like. It's genre that's stood the test of time for sure. I appreciate the visit and the comments. Thanks again, Noel

Hi Noel hope all is well with you!
Song Overall impression Retro – becoming your speciality! done with affection and respect Mix / Production all sounded well balanced to me Instrumentation Piano phrases are judiciously placed Not all the solo (trumpet?) works for me Vocals you’ve worked hard on your vox Noel and it shows! What I really liked Slick production well structured What you might like to return to the ‘outro’ lyrics seem a little odd to me – not altogether in phase with the rest of the song.

Your excellent voice, the ability to create beautiful melodies and especially the positive lyrical landscape have found their natural home in this classic jazz (Cole Porter) arrangement context. The simple arrangement flows nicely.
Janne Hi Janne! Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. By the way, I'm a pretty big fan of Cole Porter. He was a very clever songwriter with both words and music. All the best as spring starts to come your way! Noel

Hi Noel, I listened to this the other day but didn't have time to comment. Doesn't hurt to give it another spin though  Really well done! Such a "feel good", uplifting vibe happening. Love the solo, and the piano sounds great! Makes me wish I had bought it when it was on sale a while back. Your vocals sound good too, just the right amount of processing for them to sit in the mix perfectly. Nice song to start off my morning Hi Dave, Thanks for the uplifing review. Very much appreciated. All the best, Noel

A little while back, floyd jane made a post about EZ Keys being offered at a better-than-bargain-basement price. I jumped on the wagon and purchased a copy. This song arose from playing around with my then new toy. I thought I'd try my hand at using BIAB to re-create a 1940s styled jazz quintet (drums, piano, guitar, singer, soloist). Noel.... Nothing I can add to the favorable comments already stated....all of which I concur with. Your vocals are very distinct and pleasing to the auditory receptors. You performed the song and this genre perfectly....relaxed and deliberate. Reminds me of an innocent, more care free state of mind during my youth prior to my military picnic. Very well done.....carry on.

Right from the get go Janice envisioned Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing in a 1940’s movie - B&W of course. It’s a lovely melody, a sweet lyric and delivered with such feeling. As Janice said, after her eyes glazed over, after reading the production notes, “Whatever he did the band sounds great!”  And Bud offers up that the band, especially the piano and trumpet, is excellent. Thanks for sharing your work flow...it was very informative and it certainly paid off. You always bring multiple rays of hope and positive vibes to your listeners. Thank you. J&B Hi Janice and Bud, Thanks for all the encouragement! I really appreciate it. I never lose sight of the fact that the real star of the show, though, is Band In A Box. These days I cannot imagine life without the program. I know I could never write the songs I do without this software. To be able to re-create the sounds of yesteryear so effortlessly and to have the result sounding so professional with minimal effort never ceases to amaze me... it's a bit like magic! All the best to you both, Noel
