Hi Persist, it’s great as always ! I prefer the piano version as it is a bit more jazzy.

Would it be too much to ask you for two small changes?

1/ For the bridge as there are a lot of “I know”, would it be possible to add a special kick in the last bar before the phrase “hey, I ought to…” ? It would help us not to count the bars or the repetitions…

2/ Personally as I find this nice song a bit short I have added a verse after the bridge, so I play bridge, then verse :

But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone (end of bridge)

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

Only darkness every day

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, and this house just ain’t no home

Anytime she goes away

then my words :

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

Then the blues takes me along

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, and life always feels so wrong

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

If you don’t have the time to do it, no problem, I’ll find my way, thanks again.

I’ll see what I can do but no promises as I have quite a backlog.

Hi persist, did you have any time to look at it?

Thanks

Sorry. I put it on the back burner and just haven’t been able to get to it.

No problemo!
