Hello forum friends. Have not spent too much time here lately.....crazy life....but I drop by and hear a lot of great stuff. Eddie Icelander posted an instrumental a while ago, and I was intrigued by the vibe and the title. I contacted him and he sent me the SGU from which this song was born. Hope you enjoy. Love to hear what you think! Take care. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/winterleavesWinter Leaves Who knows the reasons Love can change just like the seasons It can catch you a a rainstorm with no coat The clouds on the horizon You may try to keep your eyes on But still you might just find that cold air Deep in your throat We had a Spring of love and passion Where romance was the fashion Flowers bloomed and green leaves sprouted on the trees Summer time was golden Autumn chill....we tried to hold on Now love has fallen down like winter leaves Winter leaves on the ground Sorrow surrounds me I know love may come again if my heart still believes Right now the wounds are still raw But emotions may thaw I'll see how I feel when winter leaves Winter leaves on the ground Sorrow surrounds me I know love may come again if my heart still believes But I have no one to warm me My mood's cloudy and stormy We'll see how I feel when winter leaves

Wow. This is really, really top notch. I've always liked Eddie's instrumentals too and you've picked a great one. This is a top notch collaboration and it sounds like an instant classic to me. Enjoyed this a lot.

Wow - this is a beautiful and lush tune  Very easy on the ears, and very peaceful to take in. I can imagine this sounding amazing at a ball or something, for a slow dance. The production is top notch too - very crisp and professional sounding. You guys nailed it - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

I listened to this yesterday when it appeared on my Sound Cloud notifications, and I came back here today for another listen because I absolutely loved it. Vocal is superb. I also like the tracks Icelander created. That also stands out. Great lyrics. This is a gem of a song!

the sound of an instant classic
from the days of sweet and soft melodic songs
a double entendre maybe even a double metaphor
woven in between the changing of seasons
very nice music and inspired writing
Greg, you are downright Gershwin like.

This is indeed a very impressive song...
The lyrics alone are classy & expressive...
And the musical score is equally smooth & classy...
You & Eddie should really be proud of this great write...
And I will just have to be envious!

Greg,
You have a true gift with words. A gorgeous lyric. One cannot help but think "WOW!"
The backing tracks are perfect. Your vocal is exceptional - one of your best (among so many good ones). Well sung, well recorded, well mixed.
This is a delight to listen to. An instant classic.

Greg,
that's a lovely lyric and delivery. The backing is smooth and on point except for the synth/midi string line that runs almost throughout - it's a little synthy and the level fluctuates with notes. I reckon you could throw some delay, reverb and cut off some high end to make it sit better but, then again, the strings in 2019 would probably sit even better.
Nice work and a terrific narrative.
Cheers

 This simply oozes class and sophistication. Harkens back to the early Capitol Sinatra years during the early 50's. There is a wonderful coming together of every element in the song...the lyric, melody, arrangement, terrific vocal and the perfectly selected backing tracks. Gorgeous! J&B

Nice images of nature in the lyrics, combined with the feelings of love in coldness, clouds, storms, rain, blooming flowers... holding on like last leaves (I like the leaf-filled wordplay). Superb vocals and simple but effective backing track. Ageless music.

Hi Greg and Eddie, I think that Janice and Bud have hit this very musical nail on its head perfectly when they say... This simply oozes class and sophistication. Hearkens back to the early Capitol Sinatra years during the early 50's. There is a wonderful coming together of every element in the song...the lyric, melody, arrangement, terrific vocal and the perfectly selected backing tracks. Gorgeous! J&B A terrific listen. I love how you've used the two meanings of "Winter leaves" to create such a wonderful lyric. All the best, Noel

Hello forum friends. Have not spent too much time here lately.....crazy life....but I drop by and hear a lot of great stuff.
Greg Hello, Greg. Yep, same here. Stuff happens. Lot's of good music being produced by these talented BIAB gurus though. That's for sure. Hey, this is an excellent song with a first-rate arrangement. I listened to this the other day in the car and I was immediately struck by how good it translated/sounded. A professional mix and master. Curious as to the chain. Any outboard gear? As others have said, lush, crisp, gorgeous, well done guys! Truly.

Standing ovation!!! Blooming etc. - wow, wow, wow. This is Sinatra-like, but dare I say I prefer your warm tone even to his? This is stunning, stunning, stunning.
The lyrics are so beautifully bittersweet ... one of these days I will write something half this good and dance with joy at the achievement! Bravo to everyone who contributed to this gem.

Greg & Eddie ...
Such a classy and well-written song. The melody oozes Gershwin and the vocal style has Sinatra dripping from it. As others have said, the sound of a true classic. Eddy ... great song concept! Greg ...a wonderful arrangement and a vocal so warm and captivating!
My kind of music for listening at any time. This is a true musical treat. Wishing you both the very best ...

Really nice jazz vocal song!
The melody is very beautiful.
The lyrics are also beautiful.
And above all your vocals are great.
It looks like I'm listening to Chet Baker.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Nice.... it kinda reminds me of a smokey hole in the wall basement half empty jazz club.... and..... a bit of "Old Blue Eyes" in the feel.
Not everyone can pull off a believable male slow jazz tune of this nature. The vocals fit like a velvet glove and the lyrics.... man, those lyrics are right on the spot with a theme that follows through from start to finish comparing love to the seasons.
This is a prime example of how 2 people can collaborate and the end result is greater than the individual parts. Nicely done guys.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Nice work and a terrific narrative. Thanks so much Ray! The strings are sampled but it is a lower end set and I am a low end programmer. Really appreciate the listen and the kind words! Take care. Greg

Greg (and Eddie Icelander), this is great.
The lyrics (the double meaning of Autumn Leaves is nice), the vocals, the backing, the production - everything about this is top shelf.
Thanks for sharing Greg.

Nice images of nature in the lyrics, combined with the feelings of love in coldness, clouds, storms, rain, blooming flowers... holding on like last leaves (I like the leaf-filled wordplay). Superb vocals and simple but effective backing track. Ageless music.
Janne Thanks Janne! The title was from Eddie. It just inspired that metaphor. Interesting the way things work. Love hearing your stuff!! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg and Eddie, I think that Janice and Bud have hit this very musical nail on its head perfectly when they say... This simply oozes class and sophistication. Hearkens back to the early Capitol Sinatra years during the early 50's. There is a wonderful coming together of every element in the song...the lyric, melody, arrangement, terrific vocal and the perfectly selected backing tracks. Gorgeous! Thanks so much Noel! Appreciate your kind words. Love your new one dedicated to your mom! Take care. Greg J&B A terrific listen. I love how you've used the two meanings of "Winter leaves" to create such a wonderful lyric. All the best, Noel

Hey Greg, and first of, I'm sorry this publication of the piece passed me by for so long. All I can say is you took something that was maybe somewhat decent, and turned it into something utterly brilliant!  p.s. And if you don't believe me, just take a look at how much more attention your version got compared to mine (hmph!) 
There's only one thing to do in crisis like this - Sleep on it!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
