(She has no intention to beguile; she doesn't have a choice) Oh yeah.
Just stunningly beautiful how that Latin rhythm, your fragile yet powerful vocal range, melody, lyric and perfect phrasing come together to express love. Loved it. THanks so much for those incredibly kind words! You've been doing some great stuff! Take care. Greg

Greg,
Yeah . . . I got nothing else to add that hasn’t already been said . . . just wanted to say I thought this was just, well . . . perfect. You have such a smooth and warm voice that accentuates your melodies and songs in a magic way. This is a perfect example; beautiful in all respects.
My humble regards,
Deej

Really, really nice - vocals, instrumentation, lyrics, mix... All top notch. But especially the vocals. You can really sing! My only nit is the flute solo at the end - it sounds "fake", mostly because it lacks vibrato. If you're interested, PM me and I'll be happy to render you some of my VSTi flutes so you can complain about my choice in flutes. (My actual flute playing isn't anything to write home about). Anyway, love this song! Thanks David! You're right about the flute....did not think about the vibrato really til you mentioned it but knew something was amiss. Just listened today to a really cool one by you! What sampled flutes do you like? Take care. Greg

Wonderful!
I love latin music too, and man, you just nailed the vibe perfectly with this one, Greg!
Love the melody and of course the vocal, and you are right, that guitar solo is perfect.
Enjoyed!
Thanks Dave!! Yeah, Brent came through for me! Love your stuff ALWAYS! Take care. Greg

What sampled flutes do you like? Different flutes for different occasions. For this song, you might have a look at the free Simple Flute from Fluffy Audio. Embertone has an inexpensive ($20) Crystal Flute that might work well here. Or you could just send me the MIDI track, and I'll see if anything in my library matches up well to it. But the Fluffy Simple Flute is probably more than adequate.

Hi Greg,
What a really wonderful listen. You sure have the knack for fine songwriting and equally fine song-presenting! It's as it your gently soothing vocals caress the listener's emotions and imagination and they fit hand-in-glove with this Latin-styled backing. I don't think you could have chosen a better instrumental ensemble.
From the first note to the last, I found this enchanting, mesmerising and terrific listening.
All the best, Noel Thanks so much Noel! Really loved your latest! Take care. Greg

Greg,
ZOWIE!
I don't know what to say when you "talk" to me! Completely blown away.
GORGEOUS songwriting. GORGEOUS production. GORGEOUS vocal.
The nylon guitar solo is extraordinary! Sounds like you had someone play specifically for this.
A beautiful mix.
One of your best. And THAT is saying something!! (ALL you songs are excellent).
YOU should be a star, dude.
fj THanks so much Floyd for your ultra kind review!! Yeah, Brent really came through for me! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Wherever you go Take care. Greg

Hi Greg This lovely song would in no way be out of place on a Michael Franks album. Terrific work. Regards, Leon

Mr. Johnson...
I regard the 'bossa nova' genre as one of the greatest gifts of music ever introduced into the world we live in. It combines a sense of deep romantic intimacy with a strange but intriguing melancholy feel in a way that makes the experience of listening to it simply mesmerising, and timeless.
Those qualities are immediately, undeniably present in your recording of When She Talks to Me. Your Real Tracks and/or MIDI selections from BIAB establish a sensuous mood right from the first note. Your singing -- including the barely-heard breaths you take between the words and phrases of your lyrics -- is as smooth, as softly expressive, and as tender as can be. If our nocturnal dreams of love were accompanied by music, this is what they would sound like.
I thoroughly enjoyed your performance.

Nicely done! The Latin touch was incredible, and your vocals and the instruments are both stunning. It's an absolutely beautiful tune, and a fine example of quality songwriting. It is tender, romantic, and gorgeously textures. You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing Thanks so much Deryk! I really appreciate that! Take care. Greg

The composition and the arrangement are already top-notch, but your vocals hit the ball over the fence - EXCELLENT !!!!
Take care,
Stefan Thanks so much for the kind words Stefan! Enjoying your songs about getting older....a pain a lot of us feel! Take care. Greg

Greg, Stellar vocals that show a great feel for the rhythm of your well written, seductive song. Amazing guitar track,as you say.I tend to agree a more organic sounding flute would be nice, but that`s very minor- you are into a great groove with this style of music!
Robert Thanks so much Robert!! Really like the new one with you and Scott! Take care. Greg
