Hello forum friends. Don't get around here enough but I will try to get here more often and catch up (again). Really appreciate all the nice comments on my last post. This is a song I wrote last year, but released recently for the timing of the season. I hope the season is treating you all well. Despite the sad feel of the song, I love this time of year! I will post the tracks soon. Would love to hear your thoughts on the song! Take care. Greg
Here Comes Autumn
Here comes Autumn With her leaves of gold and red And she takes those sultry evenings And she brings a chill instead And fills my heart with memories That I hoped would fade away And once she comes, I know she’s gonna stay
We met in Autumn And back then I loved that chill And the warmth that grew between us Cant, forget, no never will It’s the season when I think of you And I dread the coming snow I say goodbye again when Autumn says hello
The dawning of the springtime Can take my blues away And I can sail away on summer breeze But the clouds, they start to roll in Right after Labor Day And I start to look for changes in the colors of the trees
Here comes Autumn She torments me out of spite With her gloomy, foggy mornings And her cold and moonless nights And she conjures up your memory Like a love song, sweet and low I say goodbye again when Autumn says hello I say goodbye again when Autumn says hello
Easygoing jazz intro sets up the feel, and the song doesn't disappoint.
You come in with a slow and dreamy vocal. Excellent write, love the personification of the season. Memorable images, everything fits together smoothly.
Beautiful song, well arranged and sung. Like David, I enjoyed the personification of the season. Clever lyrical move to hook the listener right at the beginning.
Beautiful song, Greg. Very laid back and the kind of cool ride I'd expect to hear in a movie soundtrack. Exellent.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
Really, REALLY nice. I could listen to this all day. Your harmonic and melodic turns just do it for me. Was the song sad? Didn't make me feel that way at all. Thanks for sharing!

Greg, you had me from opening measure. When your vocal came in the first thought in my mind was "old blue eyes" is alive and still singing. Everything about this is professional! Music at its absolute best!
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Greg...this is exquisite...the slow gentle flow is perfect for thoughts of autumn...things slow down and the land is drenched in the colors, farmers reap the harvest of their faith and labor...your song captures this lyrically and musically...the track is stellar and the vocal is so very well done...your peaceful smooth vocal fits the genre like a glove...it doesn't seem sad (autumn is my favorite time of the year)...I fell in love with my wife of 52 years in autumn so I get a fuzzy warm feeling when it rolls around...top-notch all round!

You are who you are because you do what you do because of what you believe.
In my deepest smooth DJ voice I can muster: "You're listening to the velvet voice crooner, Greg Johnson here on KBIB radio" Greg, You've got the voice that so many of us wish we had! So smooth and right on pitch, always! It's another great tune with a sad and melancholy feel, but it still is perfect for the subject matter. You're one of the very best!
Another terrific tune, wonderfully sung, with a soft, melodic vocal. Love those falsetto like tones you sprinkle throughout like falling leaves. Outstanding write, great mix, cool jazzy vibe. Great stuff!
Appropriate lyrics for these Autumn days, "She torments me out of spite" yes I can feel that in my bones. Perfect arrangement for the mood, the intro/solo sax sounds lovely and everything is mixed perfectly. Excellent singing, enjoyed those high notes. The song fills my heart with memories but they are warmly received.
The sign of a really good song is that I wish it wouldn't be over so quickly, it happens here with every listen.
