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.

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

Beautiful all around.

Thanks Bob! I have a guy in SF who mixes for me and is much, much better at it than I am. I was surprised how much better he can make me sound. Loving what you're doing these days! Take care. Greg

Gorgeous!

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.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Janne! The title was from Eddie. It just inspired that metaphor. Interesting the way things work. Love hearing your stuff!! Take care. Greg

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! cool

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!) wink


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
