Another flippant entry, no disrespect meant, just looking toward the near future a bit.

I used the jazfred realstyle and "sang," if you can call it that, myself.

Lyrics:

I see you at the grocery store,
I just adore you in your mask
And maybe it's seclusion
But I've got the delusion
That you'd say yes if I'd ask

you for your number, or an email, some kind of way to connect
I'd happily write you a letter, or we can use the usual tech

That hair, those eyes, they've wooed me,
But still I wish I could see
The rest of the prize that eludes me
And stays so healthy and free


Some day when this is over,
We'll be face to face and primly posed,
Will the lack of mystery
End all the romance
When we're exposed?

I'm hoping at the face-off,
We both like what we see
I promise not to take off,
If you in kind agree

After all, beauty's but skin deep
What's a mask between friends
And despite the notion of romance,
That's where we should begin

A very well-written song. Clever without being cheesy. Superior rhymes throughout.

Nice production. Nice vocal - a lot of "warmth". Good mix.

High caliber stuff.

And a nice video.

Hi Tunemonger,

Really enjoyed this song with the amusing video and lyrics:
'Will the lack of mystery
End all the romance
When we're exposed?'

Those kind of lines are just wonderful (you have more in this song)
And what a lot of -nice- masktypes you showed in that video.

I think I wrote you before; I am not a big lover of Jazz, but your song did a very good try turning me over!
You have a good voice for this kind of music, relaxed, clear and swinging.

Have a very nice day today,
Hans

I like your skewed , funny perspective and the way your husky voice delivers the humour.
I`ve definitely noticed how much the masks heighten my interest in eyes!
Well done... a nice relief from the "We Are The World" covid songs.

TuneMonger,

As Floyd stated "A very well-written song. Clever without being cheesy. Superior rhymes throughout" and I also totally agree! Man this is a perfect backtrack for this song! Great vocals also! Thanks, Torrey

Now that's some pretty amazing rhyming you have going on. Mark me impressed! I thought your treatment of the song was great too! By the way, I thought your voice was a great fit for the song. Well done all the way around!

As floyd said, "A very well-written song. Clever without being cheesy. Superior rhymes throughout."

Yep a great write and well delivered by your laidback vocal.

A clinic in great rhymes!

The jazz vibe worked really well and the vid images were cool.

Nice over our morning joe!!

Well done.

So very 40's, and I mean that in the most glowing way. That lyric is PRICELESS! Your growly jazz-throwback vocals deliver it extremely well, and the band is smooth as gin-less tonic. Greatly enjoyed here.
