Now it works, thanks! Nice ballad, so much feeling! Just the piano and the voice (great work) carrying the weight of the song. I love that harmonizing keyboard track in the background on the second part of the song.
Wow, that fast switching between channels effect at 1:15 is so dizzying! Did you produce the song?

Yes produced and wrote it but I do not play on it really (some odd notes to mess with piano players heads  It was recorded in just half-a-day at a different studio for us Lodge studios. I had planned it to be an acoustic + cello piece but then someone else had lock out of our studio and with a mounting pressure on our timetable it forced us elsewhere. I swapped at the last minute to just the piano. I felt it add a nice colour on the record and we didn't have anything else like this on any other track so I felt it was worth a shot. |

Fellow music lovers,
With great humility, I present to you a new song by Unomusette, Helmut and BSJ,
“Summer Night Safari”
This is Unomusette at her best with her feisty wordplay. It’s a remarkably catchy tune with the genius of Helmut’s musicianship backing her.
This has become my choice of late-night listening, especially now summer is over, and you want to keep that tropical feeling. There's so much about it to love, in particular, the melody, Uno's cool vocals, Helmut's harmonica solo and the guitar part at the end. It's "wild applause" from me too.  As for the goat impression, I should like to propose that Uno receive the official title of Bleat Talkin' Woman. |

Wow, great review vlogdance , thanks! I shall be adding Bleat Talkin' Woman to my expanding list of middle names too  Glad you liked the tropical feel, hang on to that as the nights close in.... Loved both Platypus and dillwyn 's productions too, surely the talent scouts will be knocking on your doors soon?  |

Thank you for your likes everyone and kind comments (BSJ and Uno). I agree Emma has a wonderful voice, she was a joy to work with.
there was no tuning software, that is all natural performance. She was meant to be a co-singer with a male vocalist (ala beautiful south) but her performance was so good i just used her in the end. Chrissie Hynde-esque i thought.

You are a great songwriter, dillwyn! Great stuff. I agree with the chorus being catchy. Those semi-arpeggiate chords in the second verse sound quite Wilbury to me. Thanks for sharing. Isn't there a male vocalist (barely audible) in the chorus? |

Isn't there a male vocalist (barely audible) in the chorus? Thank you all these kind words from such good songwriters makes me feel like I did something right occasionally No actually I asked Emma to sing at the very bottom of her register. i had this idea about lower octaves ghosting/shadowing the main vocal. it is ok here, she did everything I asked but I went on to develop it further (using software this time) on a project that never saw release. |

Great tune Helmut83 and guest vocal from unomusette. It is a bit of a departure from some of your other songs, can't exactly say why but think its the drums. |

I didn't mean it sounded different in a bad way, it sounds a more polished sound which I think is down to having the drums higher in the mix?

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
