Fantastic piano playing as always, and a top vocal performance. Your version is more reminiscent of Elvis Costello’s, which I’ve always preferred over Robert Wyatt
Gorgeous piano and the vocals give me a peek into a smoke-filled bar scene of a Broadway musical. Love this!
This is you singing?!? Excellent! I didn’t know this song. Sounds so beautiful.
interesting that you have brought a randy newman style to this song, as the demos for elvis costellos first album sound to me like randy newman songs. i cant say who contributed what to this song, but the melodies are more sophisticated than most elvis costello songs. since i dont know wyatt’s work, i always assumed the sophistication of the music came from the attractions’ pianist steve nieve. your version combines costello’s newmanesque qualities with nieve’s sophistication. it rminds me of the time i saw costello and nieve performing together as a duo. with the added plus of your own unique style on both piano and vocals.
