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

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
Bill

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

Karmatoburn said 204 days ago
remarkable
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

paddler said 204 days ago

thank you - I'm trying to put time aside to catch up with all the music on ere but keep getting distracted - am heading your way soon.Sincerely - Rich

Perfect song for a late evening... and thanks for the perfect ambiance, and especially the fine whiskey. Lovely.

Wonderful
I love it my friend, has a good mood. Agree with "peacepiano" about the late-evening feel. Great performance!

Take Care

paddler said 203 days ago
Thanks Feter
I think I might stick with that piano sound for a bit.Heading to your page soon.Rich

MarkHolbrook said 204 days ago
Wow
Mr. Paddler... I need another shot! That was so smooth and totally beautifully amazing... I'm on the floor!

And you did that live!? Wow... Completely floored my friend! Gorgeous!

MarkHolbrook said 204 days ago
On the third listen
I'm really feeling a bit tipsy after these 7 shots... Can I get a ride home!?

Paddler... Your piano is fantasic, your voice even better! The song is drop dead gorgeous!


paddler said 203 days ago
mm
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!

Moviz said 204 days ago
Now we're
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

paddler said 203 days ago
Accompanying
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!

perceptualvortex said 204 days ago
Mood lighting
Wow, what can I say? Awesome playing and singing, overflowing with genuine feeling... it's just music at it's best. Great song, paddler.

paddler said 203 days ago

I had a massive hangover at the time and wasnt proud of it - at least something good came of it..thank you

jiguma said 204 days ago
Chilled
Such a lovely, relaxed piece Rich. Some smooth licks make this a really enjoyable listen.
Thanks,
Neil

paddler said 203 days ago
..
It was listening to your coffee piece that inspired me to contribute something - cheers Niel.I always get that wrong - i before e except after c just isnt a true rule - Cheers Neil!

J.A.Stewart said 204 days ago
Smooth
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. ;)


--- Joe

paddler said 203 days ago

Thanks Dick!

Fantastic
laid back singing and playing.This sounds like a straight thru take... amazing.

paddler said 203 days ago
Straight thru
Your right it was - think I might stay on that road for a bit - thank you

TobinMueller said 204 days ago
Piano bar perfection
Fabulous piano bar tune. Just curious, when did you write this? Wonderful track.

paddler said 203 days ago
..
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

richardhowardjones said 203 days ago

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?

paddler said 203 days ago
..
I think she's after the veggieburger I hid behind the music stand - she's been eyeing it up all evening.They should give her a rise.Thanks rich

rsorensen said 203 days ago
beauty
Billy Joel comes to mind, whom I love, so this is spectacular. Great playing and singing on an outstanding composition.

paddler said 203 days ago
..
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

magnatone said 203 days ago

harisahn said 201 days ago
enjoyed
your music. Lovely. Inspired. Hangover-driven tunes are sometimes the best. Effortless sounding and very nice voice by the way. All the best.

gail60 said 199 days ago
oh my goodness
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

Leon said 199 days ago
Is that you?
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!

Leon said 199 days ago
and...
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.

lengold said 199 days ago
Just
fantastic.
