I wrote this back in 2010 and the original version is the very first song I posted here on May 13 of that year. I've always been fond of this song and took the opportunity to remake it with more up to date gear. I also re arranged it a bit. So here is the updated version with a better Wurlitzer 200A electric piano model, a tenor sax solo and a horn & string session. You can check out the original 2010 version in my personal jukebox. It's the very first entry, so it's not hard to find (Maybe Ted could bump it up if he's interested enough). Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

The piano, sax, horns and strings sound great John! I like these lyrics and you sing them very well. Overall a great song and a top shelf mix! I'll have to give the 2010 version a listen now.
what a fantastic song and recording John.... I like this ALOT!
REALLY FLOWS ALONG
love the echo on your voice too... pristine recording!
superb!
I remember listening to this song once creeping around the site. I really like the idea of revisiting old songs and rearranging them and bettering the production. This one definitely has that special touch of your songwriting. Lovely wurtlizer sound!
Lovely song, John and so very nicely arranged with great sounding instrumentation. Everything so tastefully placed in the mix and great vocal melodies.
This is really great. I've been listening to this on repeat while walking the dogs and it works day, or night. The arrangement is constantly evolving and the melodies are strong. I especially enjoyed the interplay between the instruments and the vocals are to the point too.
Great stuff!
It is a great song, I love the horn section in this. Lovely quirky little sax runs too. This flows really well and a very inventive and melodic vocal. Another lovely tune John.

Back for some more, just for the reason, cause this has so much going on.
What a great track, magic!!
I'm always in awe of how much you put into each track musically.
The bass work reminds me of jacko pastorious.
Just when you think everything is in the mix,something else comes in.
Round about the 3.20 mark that sax creeps in,followed by brass sections.
The chorusvis as tight as a drum.
Tha bassvand drum react beautifully.
Superb.
