(watch until the end to see my brother play melodica)

Nobody? Really?

Wow, that's really nice. Another one of your songs that I really enjoy listening too!

What instrument is it that your brother is playing?

I really liked it, as always!!! Just a critical note (I was a music major for a bit, it's not uneducated) I noticed a lag right after the tempo change, but you got right back into it. It reminded me of sitting in a cafe having a good conversation with a friend, watching the world go by. It's upbeat and groovy. You and your brother make a fantastic duo! You must make your parents proud!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Also appreciate the critical note -- the lag is probably because I recorded the introduction as a separate video and then combined it with the rest... I usually record an entire tune in one take, but here I got the idea for the introduction after the rest was already recorded, so...

Yeah, that's the concept of bossa-nova... smooth, sophisticated yet simple, and distinctly Brazilian. Thanks again for the kind words!

@ pootman1234 - Thanks! The instrument is a melodica... it's basically a mini-piano with the sound of an accordion that's played like a wind instrument. It's primarily used in jazz and reggae.

One word:

HYES.
