Hi all, The first time I've listened to this song, I knew that it was a great song. Ed Zielinski (EdZ314) is the writer, the composer and the singer. He plays the piano. So, I was enthusiastic to arrange this song with Biab Realtracks. Here's the result : https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/far-away-ed-zielinskisongRD RockNorthern^4 RT 1592 Electric Bass RT 3321 Acoustic Solo Guitar RT 1595 Acoustic Guitar RT 1596 Acoustic Guitar RT 3151 Mandola RT 843 Electric Guitar RT 2636 Solo Electric Guitar Going out to sea You will always be Always in my heart love You, you were there for me You were always there When I needed you love Go, you far away, me far away There will always be a way Go, going out to sea You will always be There inside my heart love Go, go far away Go far away Will you sing with me my love Don't take your love away Don't take it away I can't live without you there

Chris & Ed,
A haunting melody. The additions are nice, though they seem a little "timid" - too far back in the mix. The vocal is really dominant, rising above all else.
The guitar solos need more volume.
Cool piano.
Cool collaboration.

The melody is really beautiful in a sombre way. I agree with Floyd - the vocal seems a little far forward in the mix, but the arrangement suits the song. A very atmospheric collaboration!

This is lovely and unsettling too. I think that the observation about the vocal being too far forward may be right. I'm not sure the Hotel California style lead early on was a good fit and those solos are a bit muddy & quiet. I think this needs the sort of string arrangement that BIAB doesn't provide. I think your arrangement and chord are really good but the guitar could be re thought. Lovely stuff regardless of my nit picking.

A sombre & dark melody... Quite fascinating & effective... When combined with the lyrics... Chris did a good job on the arrangement... And I really like way he treated Ed's wonderful vocal delivery... Congratulation guys... For a job well done!

Christian, I really liked your adaptation, and I think Ed's original song had a secret French twin from birth! The opening notes are similar to both Chopin's Prelude in E minor and Jobim's "How Insensitive", but then departs from these and takes a life of its own. Great work to all!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
