Secret Obsession

Another one I wrote when Di was in the hospital last year. After spending the entire day with her in her room (9:00am - 11:30pm) I went home and put this together. Had it ready by 3:00am the following day back in November last year, but never got around to posting it until now. It has a pretty simple arrangement ... nothing complicated going on here. Hope you enjoy it.

When SoundCloud converted it, it lost some of the low-end bass. Oh well! But, did I get the drums track a little to loud on the verses. I'm okay with the drums significantly forward in the chorus. Should I back off the drums in the verses?

BTW ... Di said to tell everyone "Hello". Although far from well, she is doing somewhat better.

Al, two things

1: The song is sensational. Smooth, sleek, comforting, all blended into a perfect mix.

2: Great news that Di is improving. Keep moving in that same direction.

Back off in the verses - yes, just a little so the kick click isn't so obvious.
Smooth as olive oil and just as nourishing.
All the best to Di.

Hello. Alan. Happy day-after birthday. Glad to hear about Di. Love this tune. There is a lot of emotions in this, and your backstory tells us why. I hear sadness, happiness, reverie and hope. You guys sound like a great combination.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hello Alan,

so good to hear another great tune coming out of Alan's Magical Juke Box.

Once again so very nicely written and produced - some folks used the word 'smooth' - and, yes, that's what it is: smooth and warm.

You really seem to know every secret of BIAB, and the speed you put your great songs together is simply amazing.

Maha and I really hope so much that there will be no need for Di to spend time in the hospital in the future !

Alan, I love your songs.

All the best to Di and you, and, as Floyd wrote: Stay in.

Stay healthy,

Stefan

Hello Stefan ..

I always smile when I see a comment or song from you ... makes my day! First, Di and I hope Maha is getting better as the days pass. We think of you and her quite often. And thanks for you well wishes for Di. She's doing a little better today.

"Magical Juke Box"? I like that! I'm delighted you en joyed this song. BIAB deserves most of the credit ... I just fill in some chords, find a few tracks and a basic style ... then BIAB does the rest. But thank you for those kind words.

I know so little about the technical elements of BIAB it's almost exciting. I know enough to put together a half-way decent song. I need to study many of its secrets still unknown to me.

Wishing you and your beautiful wife the very best. As i said, we think of you two often ... almost daily

Alan & Di

Alan,

Very nice smooth jazz ballad.
The guitar solo is very comforting.
It's just like it was played by you yourself.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
And it's a great news that Di is improving.

Best regards.
