Title: Emerald Eyes-Original
Post by: Johnbee on June 12, 2023, 08:00:14 AM
Trying out the Alto Sax from Straight Ahead Samples (in the solo)
Hope you enjoy!  I'll be back later to listen to some of yours.


Emerald eyes burning bright the morning
Shining through deep into the night
Blending with the right amount of sunlight
Bringing love reflected from her heart
Through the day.  Guiding me through sunshine
Through the night.  Tranquility and peace
Not a care while in your life it's so fine
Letting go.  Such sweet release.

Sun rising slowly.  Light raining over all the earth
All there is to beautify
Your eyes add the perfect color
Layering generously another shade of lovelight 
to the lazy dream that's in my mind

Emerald eyes take their cue from Summer
Spreading warmth from day into the night
Not a care when I am looking into them
I'm uplifted by their glow

Would you like to tell me of the life you live?
All the dreams gone through your mind
There were so many times when you could've lost your way
But you refused to let the blues win out
till you've had your say

Emerald eyes lighting up the evening
Keeping bright the starts that shine at night
Blending with the multicolored landscape
Keeping love warm through all time

An excellent song John. The piano is cool as are the strings. The song has a nice build up. The Alto sax sample worked out well. You've done some top notch vocals, words and harmonies!

The lyrics are very positive and full of light and happiness and hope.  Kudo's on that!  The vocals are defo Johnbee... and they are very very good...
music dances and shines and is very interesting...lots of nice turns and lots of great details of sound...

I could hear Chicago doing this!  Not bad at all... that was an amazing group.

Another great song from you, John. Lovely harmonies on those vocals and as always, interesting chord changes along with the melodic bass-lines. Cool alto sax sound - very realistic.

Your sense of melody is adventurously (Is that a word?) awesome. Your vocal melodies always draw me in and keep me interested.

These virtual instruments freak me out. I never dreamed they would get that close.

Utterly fantastic piano.

Such melodic songwriting on display here......clear and smooth and very tasty.....the alto sax sounds very good...if I didn't know better I'd say you had Kenny G on this one
