Let the times roll: OMG las trompetas. Its so groovy !! so mmmhg yeah !!! and his voice!!! love it already. Feels very movie like for me (maybe it IS used in movies??) and very 50s. It is from the 50s lol. The quality of the audio isn't that great but that's no one's fault but technology. But it's the only thing so far that makes me kinda uncomfortable. I have to listen sith the volume on almost the lowest cause if not it saturates my headphones (and they're not bad headphones!!) It had to be you: the scratchy and the voice breaking is so ugghh. the piano, the drums. Love love. Kinda reminds me of my grandpa, but that may just be the jazz. Alexanders ragtime band: I'm really loving how the songs are all strung together, although that's to be expected in an older album. They really dont make music like before. I'm not really listening to the lyrics cause 1. i dint want to get disappointed and 2. can't really make out what he's saying Two years of torture: the song's name caught me off guard cause. I was thinking how this qould be perfect to have playing in the living room, while having some wine and petting my cat, just listening to music. maybe with some friends. Then i listened to the lyrics and it really just is a lovesick man with a broken heart. when your lover has gone: his voice has a really nice rasp, along with some vibrato that i really like and think pairs very well with the trumpets. (just saying whatever. honestly why do i act as if i knew anything about music) I would REALLY want to listen to this in a woman's voice. a nice mezzo, or even an alto, with a very warm and clear but rich tone. Deed I do: now it feels like one single song, to be honest. The whole album I mean. I like it though. It's mainly because of the drums. And at the same time. Isn't that the point of an album? and of jazz in general? to be one cohesive thing and at the same time every song and melody is unique? (again. just hooting and hollering over here. What the hell do i know about music? nothing!) Just for a thrill: oh this is very romantic. st least the start. like. the violins? (or are they violas? or cellos?) the backup singers? stunning. I love this one. I really feel like I'm in my couch having a drink and just listening to this, the low lights on, everything a very orange-y warm tone. His vocals are so nice in this one too. Love it, really. You wont let me go: like the start. still got that calmer vibe since the last song. He doesnt have that big of a range, but he makes it count, I belive. It doesnt really matter, the songs dont need crazy ups and dons for it to be good. Tell me youll wait for me: starts a little more creepy, more mysterious. Suspicious, melancholic. His voice sounds more strained at times, or maybe more like strangled. Could be emotion, could be the high notes. Who knows. I really like "youll wait for me" little riff? melody? Dont really know what it is. Its a nice passage. Dont let the sun catch you cryin: this intro really reminds me of some brazilian songs. Which ones i dont know. Tom jobim, probably. Yeah. Something like that. His voice is so raspy. (Ray charles', not tom). It really feels like an old disney movie song sometimes. Probably the saturated audio and the strings + the choir/backup vocals in the background. Am I blue: oh nice strings intro, very nice. It somehow makes it feel older. The flute too. Pretty melancholic. MAes sense by the title, honestly. And the whole style so far. What I think is the best, is how with the same instruments, with the same everything, he can give us both a dancing happy song and a sasd ballad like this. Love the ending piano repeating into the distance. Come rain or come shine: feels like coming back home half drunk, with the sun getting up. You're tired and heavy and your head is splitting and yet! The sun is so pretty and everything looks so peaceful and it's summer, so you may as well just stay up for a little more. MAkes me remember rio, for a reason. The streets leading to ipanema. Or something of that sort. Warm mornings, even after a full niht of no sun. Could be the global warming, the about of concrete and machinery on the coty. And at the same time it could just be that that's how it is. Overall, it's a really nice ending for the album. Give a little closure with all the buildup to the abrupt end, so it doesnt feel abrupt. Really love it. My fav has to be just for a thrill or dont let the sun catch you cryin
