Make Me Smile

[jiguma]

New post - features didgeridoo and Turkish saz in the break. Some would argue that it's worth a listen to hear that combination alone

Make Me Smile

Mellow and beatiful harmonies. Mmm. Chillin' here ...

Hey Neil - this is a beautiful tune. It's early morning here on Murkeyside, the sun is shining and this is perfect. I love the way it all builds up. The mix is excellent, the "world"* instruments sit perfectly in there, great harmonies. Chilled man and very good!

I've taken a DL to listen on the go. Thanks!

*Don't know why we call them that really - all instruments are from the world somewhere aren't they?

Dava, Thanks for the positive comments. Where I come from, the didgeridoo is a local instrument I guess the saz counts though. We lived in Mellor (out of Stockport) for a year and my dad's a Geordie, so I have my contacts "up north". I'll keep posting then.

I've just been listening through some of your tunes Stuart and you have some very nice ones in there. Thank You (for being a friend of mine) is one I like a lot. I'm still on a steep learning curve here, and don't really know where to comment - so this will have to be it!
Cheers,
Neil

this music is like a fresh cup of coffee that has just reached that point where it's hot, but not too hot to drink - it's just right!

it warms the soft spot inside the belly (right beneath the fatty layer).

i must say, i reveled in the line:
"When I reconsider all the dreams we had, my conclusion is things havent turned out bad."

it is a Zen perspective that i only wish i could revisit more frequently, and especially in those moments of stress, worry, and dire concern.

thanks for posting this one! i'm pumped like lotion that you're here, you know! seriously!

"Pumped like lotion" eh - now that's a phrase I've not heard before I'm kind of enjoying picking songs from my back catalogue to put up here. It's making me tidy up some loose bits and listen to them again in a different light (also gives me some breathing space in the song-writing department).

It felt really good to re-read the line you quoted - I've just finished up (yesterday in fact) after working for 30 years in a demanding but (mostly) rewarding job. Also just become a grandpa, so it's a time of reflection, and it is really good to be able to think back and see that things have in fact worked out OK.

I'm feeling really welcomed here Boris - thanks for dropping in and for your very positive comments.

To quote the end of the first verse, "I hope this lasts for quite a while!"

I love, as the band comes in, how the mood seems to brighten.

My conclusion is things have turned out very fine in fact. On my pod.
