Happy Monday (again!)  

Luckily I did this one last weekend before I lost my voice.

Features electric piano, clav and drums in garageband, topped with acoustic guitar, Les paul x 2, bass and vocal. Recorded and mixed on the MBR.

A very quick 4 minutes, if you know what I mean...

      Washed over in a wonderful almost easy-listening kinda way, I guess electric piano's always have that effect. Another effortless song and superb sounding recording.

wow, very smooth and fascinating, and I love the choir here and there - classy. wonderful sound of garageband - do it plays automatic comping like BIAB, from written chords ?

Garageband has lots of auto accompany settings, but I don't like how most of them sound. You still have to play the chords manually - it doesn't read anything in etc. I wrote this song on guitar then created a backing track for myself on Garageband and imported it into the MBR.

I guess electric piano's always have that effect.

Ha ha! I know exactly what you mean. I've always loved them since I heard the intro to the Logical Song by Supertramp. THAT is the sound I always wanted! And it's a bit close to the one I've got here!

Well done again Greeny! You're comment about the electric piano and Supertramp put a smile on my face. That exact thought came to me with the very first piano chord...it has that Supertramp vibe so mission accomplished! It's been mentioned before but your bass work in this song is piece of art in itself. It's like a lead instrument that doesn't take center stage but is so stylish that it can't be ignored. An excellent Monday post!

Sweet Greeny tune, again! Loved that chord progression - very laid back feel! I have never heard any bad tune from! Great job!
