Most of the time, I use Google...but, every once and awhile, I'll use Bing.  

Not sure why I thought any of you would want to know that, but there it is.  

So, I often like to post a pretty or slower song on Sundays--not every Sunday, that's not a thing.  This is, however, one of those Sundays.  

And, if I'm being honest, giving the "Electronic" main tag to this Interbay offering is being rather generous.  Yes, there is a synth.  Yes, I think it'll be pretty obvious that the drums aren't played live by a real life drummer.  But that is pretty much all that is electronic about this one.  (But, when I don't give the Electronic tag to songs, they get heard by far fewer people, I've learned.)  

I apologize to anyone who feels like I've baited and switched them--but I always say that Interbay  isn't any one sound--it can be anything (and often, it feels like it is trying to be ALL the things.)

So, what do we have here?  Well, it is a rather simple song--which suggests that I probably don't have a "Blackbird" in me, as a songwriter/producer.  It focuses on a picked acoustic guitar backed by both a strummy acoustic guitar and a rockin' and rollin' bluesy piano...and drums that sound like someone just hit preset one and let it run.  (Back in the 80s, that felt like a reasonable song crafting option...at least now it sounds a "little" more "realistic" than it did then.)  

Just to be clear, I did NOT just hit preset one and let it run--that was hyperbole to stress how simple I tried to make this track.  However, that goal of simplicity might hide some of the little touches...like the flute that sneaks in.  

And, as I said earlier, there is a prominent enough to be noticed synth part.  There is also part of the song where a Thunderbird-esque bass comes in like Seinfeld's neighbor.  

But mostly, it is a song about a evolving figure of a picked acoustic guitar...and crooning.  

Yeah, somehow, I've managed to make a song featuring elements of five different decades--perhaps that's thematic?  If so, it wasn't intentional.  I was just painting with the colors I thought made sense.  

I don't know if you'll hear this, but occasionally, I'll hear similarity between "Let's Fall In Love" and Declan McKenna's "Brazil"--but that, too, wasn't intentional.  

Are you intrigued?  Well, hit play and give it a listen.  And then compare and contrast THIS track with recent Interbay song drops (that deserve more ears as well.)  Interbay drops a never-before-heard track EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far) and has done so over 470 consecutive days.  (Crazy when even I think about it.)  Some you'll like more than others, but all are definitely (and defiantly) Interbay.  

All I ask in return is that you listen.  Like if you do.  Repost, Share, Playlist and/or comment if you want to.  And consider following this page as the tracks keep dropping.  

Tomorrow won't be anything this syruppy sweet.  Might even be about sex.  And there won't be an acoustic guitar even hinted at.  Maybe.  I reserve the right to change my mind right up to the point where I upload the new track--that way, it can even be a surprise for me!
