I've been a Musician since my early teenage years. I started out wanting to be a guitar player and that was the first instrument that I owned. I switched to the bass after some friends and I wanted to put a band together and there was no one to play bass. My father was a well known musician in the area and had a band called the "Dukes of Rhythm" and the bass player had an old bass he wasn't using and gave it to me. So, that was the start of my musical career.

Story behind the song
This tune is over ten years old. I had started the recording process but it never got completed. I found a session tape of it recently and decided to give it a go again. Rodrica was gracious enough to lend her vocal talents to help bring this one to it's fruition.

This is such a tune that gives me the feeling I've heard it a million times before. The melody stays in my head and that's OK, because it's giving a happy feeling. And I like the smoothness and simple base here. It could have come right out of the seventies for me. Nice collaboration! Enjoyed it.
smooth clear production and a tune that gets under your skin. Nice collab!

Love the lyrics they are outstanding and honest also the whole composition is really made up of nice riffs and changes. Really smooth melodies the lead was big time laid back I woulda destroyed it and crashed the song but then again Rodrica woulda rescued it. Gregory S Payton you write really nice material. And I appreciate your playing hey your chops were fine lol I'm just thinking how hard it is to write harmonies and verses for music that puts the vocalist right there out in the open. Awesome job both *****

Nice work. Surprised when I read this was an old song - it sounds as if it was written for Rodrica. Great feel to it, and yes it reminds me of Sade a little too. Steve.
