Nice one, I like the simplicity of it.

Pretty cool mix! Like Bear said, you kept it simple and that always works for me as well.

Wayne

This was a difficult challenge and you stepped up to the task, the mix sounds great! The bass comes through and the instruments all seem to have some space. Even freqs all around, well done!

Wayne

That is the exact Gilberto/Getz version I was referring to, it is THE best version!

Ok with the ending.

This is a really heartfelt song you have written. It is delicate and emotional. Very nice lyrics and they are well delivered. The piano is always great to hear, even if only with just the vocals. Listened on my headphones, mix is ok, could use a little eq work, monsterage had a good idea by watching the sibilance, maybe add some de-esser to the vocals. Do you use a pop filter in front of your mic when you sing? If not I recommend buying or even making one.

I like it, it is a really nice ballad!

Wayne

Ahhh... a nice soothing, mediterranean, relaxing song. I have a cd full of acid jazz tracks that are just like this track and I love it. Ferryterry is an awesome guitarist and can play and set the right mood. Reminds me of "Girl from Ipanema" or some Stan Getz track in general. Mix sounds cool, nice piano track and horn track as well.

Well done, I live at the ocean and you've created a perfect song for the beach. Sounds like the ending, the last few seconds gets clipped off, no biggie, just letting you know.

Wayne

You should continue making music, you are too great to stop. We need to hear the beautiful talent you both have. Wonderful song, beautiful composition, nice live recording as well. Your playing is very skillful my friend!

Nice chord structure and a nice modulation in chords at the end about 3:05. I love acoustic music, this is fantastic. Fav and download, thanks for sharing!

Please do start making music again!!

Wayne

Very funky, well played and nicely recorded. Great bass lines, cool whawha guitar and fills and some keys that tie it all together. Great track, mix sounds great on my headphone, a pleasure to listen to!

Wayne

Nice chilled out track, nice atmosphere and feel to this. Cool EZ drums, love their kits. Very well constructed fusion track, lots of elements to this track making it a very interesting listen. All the samples you used fit nicely and some nice keys and percussion used as well. Well done, nice mix!

Sorry George but I am not familiar with the original as I don't listen to much electronic/dance music(except on the loop) so I can't give you any comparisons to the original. Maybe that's a good thing as I can give you more objective comments.

I see it's a wip but is this the actual length of the song? I thought house tracks were usually much longer? I do actually love songs at around 2:30, I feel you can pack in the right amount of goodness in that time. I gave this a bunch of listens and must say the mix is excellent on my headphones. Like the delay on the main rhythm synth, fills the space and doesn't overwhelm the singing. The vocal track is nicely mixed and you applied some great effects on them.

The song has a cool vibe, great beat, driving simple bass, I like that too. I agree, it IS sounding pretty damn awesome so far!!

Wayne

Cool track, very funky, I agree with putting it in the funk genre but there is a bit of an acid jazz feel to it as well. Loved the keys you used they all seemed to mesh well with each other and they changed as the track evolved. Well done, enjoyed the track!

Wayne

Those vocals sound familiar, lol. Thanks for sending me here, I like this, it is different. I like how you used the vocals here, sparingly but effective. Music is cool, bouncy and catchy, nice job with the remix. Mix sounds great, well done!

Wayne

This is a nice eye opener! The song is composed really well, nice breaks and lots to keep me interested. Liked the way you ended to with the beat coming back in. Soothing, uplifting, peaceful and calming, nice one!

Wayne

Love the stand up bass, sounds great. Nice mix of instruments, cool keys, piano. My first track of the day, great way to get it started. Liked how you finished with the piano with some great jazzy notes in there!

Well done, great track!

Wayne

I've never heard the original either, sorry. I must say the lyrics are great, lol. Vocal performance great, piano could use some punch like some compression but it's well played.

Your singing talent is right there ready to be heard, you are certainly powerful. Like others have said and if you can afford to do so, look to improve your vocal recording setup. A digital interface, condenser mic, pop filter and you will get some great quality recordings and gain control of those pipes. :)

Cool cover, made me smile. Welcome to the loop!

Wayne

Excellent track, I love acoustic music! But is this some kind of cruel trick? Where is the rest of the song? lol.

I see that this is a work in progress, still it sounds great, live and some great playing and singing. Hope you finish it up, like it so far.

Wayne

What a great collection of sounds, a pleasure for my ears! I like what beerling1970 said about "tubular bells", I can hear that reference once I read that. Is that my mando loop in there? cool.

It is a nice recording as well. There are a lot of instruments with similar frequencies but you managed to keep them all separated in the mix very well. Listened on my headphones, sounds great!

Wayne

Wow, nice track! The whole track sounds well mixed and well constructed. The vocal pad/sample is nice, gives the song a human feel. Cool relaxed but upbeat and positive vibe.

Wayne

Sorry I missed this one and the late comment. I must say the bass really has a big part in this track and being a bass player I can certainly dig that. It seems a little more subdued than some of your more recent releases but it's still a cool, interesting track with lots to keep me listening.

It's good you can keep your music fresh and not stagnant, you always seem to change things up but stay within your own realm.

Great as always!

Wayne

The mix sounds great, clear. The vocals work great with the music. I like acoustic guitar mixed with any style of music. It is upbeat, a bit mainstream but a little bit more Indie Folk/Pop to me. Nice job!

Wayne

Mix sounds great and the track is wonderful. I love the combination of acoustic guitar and piano. Well done, hope you find a singer.

Wayne

Well done Richie and Pauline! I am not familiar with the original so I have no expectations going into this. Wow! This is such a great pop track. There is a nice vibe here, you have created a peaceful easy feeling. Beautiful lyrics, the strings give it a classic pop feel. Excellent!!

And I do dig that last note!!

Wayne

I live at the beach and this is exactly what I like to hear during the hot summer, cool vibes. Mix sounds great, love the horns and the bongos and other percussion. Cool track!

Wayne

The change at 1:55 was a bit unexpected but I really liked the direction you took it. The intro was very cool as well. This song really kicks ass! Well done.

Wayne

Nice description, knew(almost) what to expect. :)

Great production, as usual, and a nice composition. I love this kind of music, really brings you back to a simpler time. Excellent job!
