Silver Nights Golden Days

[boneonbone]

Here's a new one just finished up where we traded in our CSNY vibe for a bit of Sergio Mendez....sort of.  Lots of acoustic guitar, piano and  a dash of djembe drum and maracas.  Hope you'll have a listen.

Silver Nights Golden Days        ©2020   
   
Moonlight's halo all around
Casting silhouettes upon the ground
Just bright enough to show the way
Through silver nights and golden days

Sun warmed earth beneath my feet
Slows my rhythm in the summer heat
I miss you when you go away
Those silver nights and golden days
 
Eyes twinkle like stars
Smiling like the moon
Embrace of the sun
My favorite tune

No letting go or questions why
The answers lie beyond the summer sky
Love is love and come what may
In silver nights and golden days

Take your time, let it in
Listen to the voice within

Eyes twinkle like stars
Smiling like the moon
Embrace of the sun
My favorite tune

Living out this fantasy
That you will always be right next to me
We're all just actors in a play
Silver nights and golden days
Silver nights and golden days.

This is awesome. Love the Latin feel and the chord progression. Cool, relaxing lyrics fit the music. Nice work!

[AndyR]

Oh yes, very cool vibe.

Gorgeous sounds and vocals.

And those guitars...

Very different from your usual style and beautifully done. Lovely vibe, great percussion and really nice guitar and vox. Very nicely recorded and produced as well, it's got a lovely smooth overall feel.

Mind you, I had to get past the Segio Mendes reference  Growing up, Sergio Mendes was associated with my parents' record collection, music centres and cheese and pineapple on sticks. Fortunately I'm older now and can appreciate this style of music without being reminded of the early 70s!

Beautifully done. I do like a bit of Brazilian Bossa Nova flavour. The production on this is immaculate - love how clear and intimate that guitar sounds, and the doubled guitar part is just gorgeous. A lovely, relaxing listen.

What a gem! Very laid back bossanova music and I agree with Sergio Mendez comparison - I have a few songs by SM on my mp3 player...

You have done excellent job on each way. Special thanks for the piano additions. Everything is on balance here....I'm on my second listening.
