Description:
One for the MJ coffee house - except I ordered the waitresses to turn down the lights,allow smoking and some whiskey to wash the coffee down with.
I just recorded it live with VSamp piano and a mic.
Lyrics:
Skylarks
When the rain is fallin down
And I feel I can't go on
I take A walk through the park
To the place we made our own - sweet love
How can I make you understand
We dont have time for dreaming
But we can take on the world
Theres always skylarks singing when you smile
When the day get you down
And you feel broken inside
Just remember as the sun
Leaves the sky you dont need to hide
We all face the music everyday
And it has never been so easy
And life can break the cruellest heart
But theres always skylarks singing when you smile
Hardware:
Mic
Software:

Just you and the piano and the coffee house. Sounds sweet. Does have a late evening tone to it :) I think I will have some whiskey to wash down my coffee.
Thanks

Thanks Bill - well I never forget going to an underground late night bar and watching a band back in the days when I actually had the motivation to work overtime at a factory so was knackered but what was even better was the cd of billy holiday with duke ellington afterwards (although live is best) and it deserved a glass of whiskey - it was beautiful - here - have another.Cheers - Rich [ Reply to This ]

sound, Huge song chops. One of the reasons I always look forward to your posts is that its consistently good and always different. Never know what to expect but it never disappoints. Irish coffees all around [ Reply to This ]

Well - its easier to co-ordinate the piano and singing playing live else i wouldnt know where the hell to come in if it was overdubbed - Thank you! [ Reply to This ]
Now we're &mdash 06/17/08 - 05:42:52 PM
Talkin'.... well singing actually and it sounds great. Love this kind of performance.... how I envy anyone who can play piano and accompany themselves like this.... must be like heaven. Love the song too..... great lyrics as always but especially nice to me, given this genre, cheers M [ Reply to This ]
Accompanying &mdash 06/18/08 - 02:40:15 PM
yes - I'm grateful for a job playing piano in a restaurant but I itch to sing along sometimes rather than playing the melodies - misty and songs like that are some of the most beautiful songs...stil..maybe...one day! thank you M! [ Reply to This ]

Wow, what can I say? Awesome playing and singing, overflowing with genuine feeling... it's just music at it's best. Great song, paddler. [ Reply to This ]

Such a lovely, relaxed piece Rich. Some smooth licks make this a really enjoyable listen.

Nice job, Piano Man. Really smooth stuff.
And thanks for the smokes and whiskey. Now, where are the babes?
Oh, they're all over at the piano bar, swooning over the dreamy crooner. ;)

Piano bar perfection &mdash 06/18/08 - 08:13:43 AM
Fabulous piano bar tune. Just curious, when did you write this? Wonderful track. [ Reply to This ]
.. &mdash 06/18/08 - 03:03:55 PM
I wrote it on saturday 14.6.08 - it was a bit painstaking though as the vst i was usin eats up more cpu than i have so i had to seperate the midi from the audio and bounce it to aif to avoid stuttering then re-import it.Was worth it though for the piano.Thanks Tobin [ Reply to This ]
. &mdash 06/18/08 - 01:53:03 PM
This one had to be sung when the percolators had retired for the night. That waitress you asked to turn down the lights seems to be draped over the piano with eyes for only you. Now why would that be, d'ya suppose? Huh? [ Reply to This ]

Billy Joel comes to mind, whom I love, so this is spectacular. Great playing and singing on an outstanding composition. [ Reply to This ]

I haven't heard much Billy Joel but Ive been listenin to a bit of elton john recently - I never really liked him much either but a friend made me hear his songwriting skills in a different way recently..Thank you [ Reply to This ]

your music. Lovely. Inspired. Hangover-driven tunes are sometimes the best. Effortless sounding and very nice voice by the way. All the best. [ Reply to This ]
oh my goodness &mdash 06/22/08 - 05:19:33 PM
How impressive this is!! I adore your voice on this and you did an excellent job on the piano. I thoroughly enjoyed this song. You did a wonderful job from start to finish and I want more!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!..Wow [ Reply to This ]
Is that you? &mdash 06/23/08 - 02:16:58 AM
Wow.. didn't expect this from you... This really shows a mellow side of you that has not been evident in your previous work, or maybe I just didn't really look close enough at your other songs. Your voice is so soothing and really relaxing, effortless yet brimming with feelings. If your other songs did not make me muse in sentimentality, this one certainly made me somewhat emotional. Bravo, man! [ Reply to This ]
and... &mdash 06/23/08 - 02:20:31 AM
Now I am inspired to scan through your songs... to look for this sentimentality...
I 'm a fan of yours, but this song got me biting on the hook. line and sinker. [ Reply to This ]

Excellent jazz keys RG! Nice smooth vox too.
A wonderful mood piece...
