"When You Smile" a bruno & Hook original

[Hook]

I wrote this one Sunday and recorded it on the MBR, so technically it's my 2nd mbr recording. I sent it to bruno and he added some great stuff, jembe, all the horns and the cool pops, he'll have to explain his part but I love it.
My part:
1 uke with chorus
1 clean uke
1 bass
1 minty coin drums
1 ukussion
1 vocal

mixed on the mbr & sent to bruno, thanks brother.

When You Smile
written by Hook
performed by bruno & Hook

The rain falls this time of year
consistently
Marks each afternoon
 but I really dig its reliability
I don't mind the rain, no I don't melt easily

The sun's gonna rise in the morning
That you can set your watch to
No matter what poor decisions we make each day
That suns gonna set & that day will be through
I don't mind each day
That's another day I get to spend with you

       It's in the way that the world turns
       The way a fire burns
       The overwhelming sense of peace I get
       When You smile at me

My love for you grows stronger
That you candepend upon
Of all the constants in my life
You're the only one I rely on
I don't care if the rain & sun go away
As long as you stay
   
         chorus

Badap bup bup bup! You know I love that stuff!

Cool, happy, fun, awesome tune!

[bruno]

Great tune Hook, fantastic happy tune - he sent me this on sunday, and I had a little think about this.

Added two Djembe tracks, a trumpet played on GR-20, so far so good. Then I tried flute and pan pipes, but they really didn't work and wasn't lifting the track, so I removed those. Then I tried the Badap bup sound on the vocal settings on the GR-20 (Yep, played that on the guitar) - I really like it, but was quite unsure, as its a little out there. I sent it to Hook expecting an email back say "what is that horrible sound, take it off"  , but hey you have to experiment - and we appear to be on a craziness roll at the moment. Hope I did the tune justice!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity on this bro.

Those horns rule! Combined with that bass line, makes this is a really funky song.

Thanks all for the great comments. This one was a lesson in restraint (well for me anyway) - I was itching to put the ba-da-ba-ba all over the place, but had to keep think "not now, not now" 

I had fun doing this, it put a smile on my face!

What the hell is GR20... sounds like another fantastic gadget.

The song has summer breeze written all over it.

Great collab.
