The couple in this song have never met, yet they share the ultimate intimacy. Overdubs are the droning chords at the beginning, and the dotted 8th delay guitar. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/cloud-dancing-1 **** Song Summary ********* Title: Cloud Dancing File:Cloud Dancing.SGU Key=A , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:44 98 bar intro, 2 bar chorus, from bar 99 to bar 100.

I think the song fit your vocal range nicely. I thought the song lost a bit of energy when the intro goes into the first verse. Re-listening, to me was your chord progression change to the A - D progression. In your first line - "High above the harsh confusion, soaring free without a care" the energy in the vocals drop off between 'confusion' and 'soaring' which I think is due to the choice of chords. If you ever re-visit the song you may want to try that line holding the A chord the whole line. Alternate chord progression may help also. A quick trick I use sometimes when searching for a better progression is to use the auto-generate feature to create a four bar intro and that sometimes provides unusual chords I would never think of myself. It is a quick procedure to do and after auditioning the auto generated intro, just hit ctrl-z to erase it. I really enjoyed this one and think it has a lot of potential and I may be the only one here on the forum that felt the energy drop. Regardless, it is a fine song. Enjoyed my listen.

Good work. looking forward to hearing more.

I'm with Charlie on the "drop in energy", although I'm struggling to put put my finger on it. Anyway, nice work. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Anyway, nice work. +1 here at 1.52 the transition into the verse works well, at 0.35 I have the feeling to that it is less fluent... Good write! Fred

I just realized today that this song was missing guitar and horn part. Also, I improved the harmonies and added an extra bar to the end. I like it even better now. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/clouddancing link fixed Last edited by Will Rockwell; 03/10/15 10:11 AM.
