"Ellen's Smile" Original

[Greeny]

The extended intro is so wistful and beautiful. There are some lovely melodies weaving in and out as it gradually builds towards the vocal. And man, what a vocal! This sounds like a classic 70's love song. It's an incredible and wonderfully crafted piece of work. WOW.

[Ferryman_1957]

A lovely song John, beautifully composed and arranged. It sounds great and it obviously was a "labour of love". I really like the long intro and the way it builds, that works very well. Great job!

Cheers,

Nigel

playing catch up, really enjoyed this one the music is cinematic could imagine this playing out at the end titles of a romantic movie. like andyr i was wondering when the vocals where going to arrive but when they did they lifted the song further, remindeds me of christopher cross.

i hope the good lady enjoyed it . and in your pic you look remarkably like roger powel the keyboard player from todd rundgrens utopia, you have his looks and talent.

[Johnbee]

Thanks so much for listening, ORH!

This is a pretty ballad and a wonderful demonstration of love. Nice piano playing and lead vocal. Reminds me of Dan Fogelberg.
