Hello,
a new tune.
A summer project, done…so now I’m off to Sydney for the cold winter, but where the family and
friends will be as warm as toast.

Usual high standard, Jet. Great lyrics too

And yet another well-crafted piece of ‘aural-art’! Everything sounds just right to me mix-wise and performance-wise, and once again your poetic lyrics are an inspiration. Maybe not a song that stays with me like some of your others have but still a pleasant journey none-the less.
Nice job Jet!
Man, you make me want to quit!
Great aural piece, nice impressionistic lyrics, and great guitar solo – wish it went on longer. Also – the part where the bass began playing the straight 16ths under the 2nd chorus – where in the F did you come up with that? Brilliant.
Awhile back I was watching a local jazz quintet at a bar, and a friend of mine was playing upright and during one section of a swing tune he started playing straight 8ths – I don’t think I’d heard that before, and it was very cool
My only nit is when the band stops abruptly the first time, it sounded like a weak edit… I know such a stop being accomplished via a hard edit is a common practice; I would have preferred it if the band just stopped and we heard the reverb/room tail afterwards. In any case, you might revisit that edit. Then again, I may be bonkers
yes a good song, really like the edit with the stop, i am doubting about the suggestion of a tail there, could work , like the end tail very much so…
Did you use the pitch correction on the vocals in the first verse? wondered if it was obvious there a little…
Take care…all the best in Sydney

Hi Jet,
Great song, again!
I Like the changes in the verses, especially the major/minor change.
Sounds very good, as usual.
Have a great time in Sidney!
Say hi to Taylor for me.
Cheers,
Wim
Thanks to all for the comments, appreciated. Am happy you like the recording.
The lyrics: partly inspired by daily circumstances,
partly due to the fact that I live in two worlds—Asia and Australia.
Ebb and flow, pull and tug, today and tomorrow, now and the future,
here and there, joy and sorrow. Etc.
OK, on a plane tomorrow. Three weeks in the Antipodes.
As everyone here says, 拜拜!
一路平安
Cheers,

Well, I DID say:
Then again, I may be bonkers
didn’t know that expression until now…
Very nice
Jet,
You paint with a fine brush in crisp, yet subtle hues my friend. It is a fine song and most enjoyable to listen to. And yes, it moved me.
Do enjoy your trip.

Your stuff is always so good that I hate to suggest anything. But…
You come right in with the string pad just when it seems you’re going to rock a bit. I wished you would save that for later and put some guitar there instead.
Love the keys, bass and drums though.
I enjoyed it, cool track with fine lyrics and instrumentation.
Well done, great lyrics well thought out arrangement great playing and decent mix.

Great track, like Doug I thought it was a shame it was over already.
Sweet. (…but I knew that it would be)
Your tunes give me the opposite reaction that Doug has. They make me want to keep writing.
Nice production subtleties throughout. Tasty, tasty rhodes playing. Nice touch - the drum fill that plays through the first line of the first chorus.
No nits.
Lenny
Thank you to all who have listened and commented.
Jet
…Poifek!!
Really enjoyed that, especially the guitar towards the end. Lovely bass and drums as well. Any real drummer, or all vsti? Great stuff.
Steve.
