I really dig the Steely Dan feel (as others have mentinoned). Fun changes with syncopation and pushes, and the perfect melody to drive it along. Love the tone and feel of your guitar. All so good.

I started this song with the guitar riff in the verse and the theme of the lyrics came to me while listening to it. Laurent Originally Posted by floyd jane Laurent, Good song. Strong melody.

Nice BGVs, too... fj Thank you Floyd and it does me a lot of honor to compare it with the songs of the Doobie brothers, a group for whom I have a lot of admiration. The BGV comes from the original style, I just raised the volume during the chorus. Laurent

Just a comment on the word "wind" - it's got two meanings and pronunciations in English, and SynthesizerV always picks the wrong one. The one you want is /w ih n d/. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

One of my oldest friends of 5 decades passed on last October, while younger and older ones passed before him, all remembered with love. I also really like the guitar lead in this. Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #69: Bring consciousness to it. #74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Thanks firesong for the comments. I like Hayden's voice but there are elements of pronunciation to correct like "wind" for example as David pointed out. In this song I used a little Cubase plugin to lower the formant which gives it a slightly deeper voice. Laurent Originally Posted by dcuny Hi, Laurent. Nice song - everything works. Just a comment on the word "wind" - it's got two meanings and pronunciations in English, and SynthesizerV always picks the wrong one. The one you want is /w ih n d/. Thanks David for the comments and the correction for "wind". I found that there was also a problem with "memories" as if the r was not pronounced. Since then I have tried adding an r: m eh m er r ih z and reducing the time of the phoneme eh. I'm still at the learning and testing stage. Laurent

Video scenery of stark landscapes fits well with the melancholy lyric but also shows the beauty of life, even in the lonely moments. Enjoyed it! J&B Janice on Spotify J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

FWIW - I didn't care for the synth vocal, but that is only my opinion and others may not agree. However it didn't really detract to much from this song. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
