steve@baselines.com Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 This is a song written by Paul Van Ness in the late 70's. I decided to cover it again because I always liked the flow of it and the sentiment. https://baselines.com/?p=6773 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Yeah, really good Steve. Great production and mix. Beginning vocals, piano, bass and organ, moves the song right along so drums aren't needed. Gradual build as strings enter is perfect ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Another brilliant vocal, Steve! It's all there, just waiting for an audience. The mix is polished, but not overly so. Good vibes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Simple but quite a catchy melody. Could you post the lyrics please? I only picked up a few words which is probably due to my hearing loss. Thanks -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
