The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.

I couldn't listen to it the whole way through, something tells me it's so beautiful it could make me weep a bit, and when I'm in the mood for that, it will be a great release. Really beautiful!

Woo! Something different. Yep, stripped down works... Like this one a lot.
I suspect that you have the same problems that I do with "stripped down" lol (I'm sat on something that's probably "done" - actually Mrs Russe sez it is - but it feels scarily naked to me!)
And that guitar midi controller does the job. Now you've said it, I can hear some "guitar thinking", but I wouldn't have questioned it at all if I hadn't known. Mebbe I've got to get me one...

@Tess,
Its played using a YouRock guitar midi controller. I play it fingerstyle for the most accurate piano affect. It does the trick. I am using a vsti called PianoOne which is sounds most realistic for a free plugin.

First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

On my way…
I may have posted on fuzzy kittie....damn smartphones aint for dummies....dig the song...reminds me of something Buck Dharma would do with Billy Joel....good stuff SC!
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

First of all, heartfelt thanks for your compliments. And...this is an absolutely beautiful track!
Nice one!
Guitar piano? Holy Wow. Nice vocal.
great voice, vox, didn't remember that from prior listens. Terrific.
I couldn't listen to it the whole way through, something tells me it's so beautiful it could make me weep a bit, and when I'm in the mood for that, it will be a great release. Really beautiful!
Loving the guitar piano......great vocal too
Very nice.
You have a great voice, goes wonderfully with the piano. I enjoyed listening.

You're playing these keys? Love it!
Very intimate - lovely autumnal theme. Always enjoy your stuff, James. Very beautiful, tender composition.
This sounds great! Straight to my Piepod! LG

Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
Has a funky zztop vibe! Schweet!
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.
