Very moving and moody track that couldn't be ignored. Thanks to all for this inspiration and hopefully next year will be a lot brighter.

Thanks Chris. This one just spoke to me and "played itself". There's a magical aspect to the polyrhythmic character of this that really inspires.

Your is a melodic line but with the particularity of the talent with which you model the sound! Great skill in creating contrast between melody and rhythm and give dynamism to the whole. Great sax Wade!

Thanks Stef. I find that the sopranino has the ability to communicate with lots of subtlety. Tried not to cut through too much as I love the moody vocals in this.

Wow Wade. Your playing is outstanding. The expression is so rich that it takes the attention away from the other guys. Really enjoyed it. Happy new year my friend :)

Wade, you are the best, when it comes to playing sax in the background, contributing atmosphere without disturbing. I mean it in a good way! Great track!

Thanks Lutz. Very kind of you to say. I was a bit afraid that even though the sax was very subdued during the vocals it was still too "present". Glad you think it worked OK.

You nailed it Wade! you do know 'bout the yin and the yang in music which makes a song great.
In the parlando part you played melody and at the end, in singing part, you hold back...perfect! +1

Thanks, but I feel a bit like a fraud as there was no preconception or preparation for this. Just jamming in a single take after a listen. The track just resonated with a distinctive feel that I could relate to. So glad that it worked.

Cheers Bruce. Recorded this some time ago but just got around to editing and posting. Wanted to get it back before the "holidays" were over. Very poignant lyrics that needed (IMHO) to either come back before New Year or wait until next Christmas.

Thanks so much Alice. I'm still a bit undecided whether I should have gone completely silent during the vocals. As you say the sax had a strong presence and the last thing I wanted to do was take away from the fine vocals. The object was to add atmosphere. The sopranino cuts like a knife, even at low volumes. So glad if you think it worked OK.
