Park Bench

Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song to capture the vibe of an elderly couple sitting on a park bench. I was going for an innocent, sentimental sort of vibe that might be used as background soundtrack for a scene in a movie, or a TV ad. To capture this sentimental, old-fashioned vibe, I made use of my favorite quirky-sounding instrument the Dobro, along with my favorite innocent-sounding rhythm instrument, the Ukulele, to add a bounce to the accompaniment. I used the Dobro in the same way that a slide trombone might be used in a song like this, to add that old-time kind of southern sound to the piece.

Song Description

Sentimental instrumental piece with Dobro, Glockenschpiel and strings. Depicts a cheerful, innocent mood.

Great zany piece featuring slide guitars with an oom pah back up. Great work.

I think what I liked about this the most was that it was different. So many pieces on this site start to sound the same. Your recording was excellent, and even though it was a simple peice it was very transparent in the mix... strings were subtle enough that nothing crowded anything else out. Great mix

Excellent production quality in my opinion. A nice, laid back feel that would fit well as an underscore for a lighthearted commercial.

Really like the guitar lead in this cute, cheeky track. All the instruments work well together and the whole piece hangs together convincingly. I can definitely imagine this in a comedy or advertisement.
