Hi Hans! I love the way you’ve lifted from the verses into the chorus, first time with the BVs; second time when the full band comes in - that first line and melody is very appealing ’In my dreams I was falling’. I also like your use of different textures throughout - some pared back; different instrumentation. Loving the hard left and right mix elements as well! Great sound. Andrew

Hi K-Dub! I held off reacting to your song until this morning when I have my cuppa in hand to support the full experience. This is another song of yours that makes good use of vocables in the main vocal of the chorus, and I love your use of chord extensions to add some flavour as well. The low pitch main vocal is refreshing amongst other songs - great! The Fmaj7 - A for the chorus sounds really good to my ears. Good choice of RealStyle too - Latin for Colombian. Maybe some panpipes could have been used? I’m unsure if BIAB has a panpipes patch, and would be really impressed if it did. I had to look up silverskins… Silverskins on coffee refer to the thin, papery layer that envelops the green coffee bean. Andrew

This might be a long-shot question. Has anyone thought about the classification of bass lines in music? I recently recorded a bass overlay of Games People Play by The Alan Parsons Project. I’ve enjoyed this song and its bass line for years and realized that unlike many popular songs, this one has a melodic bass line. That got me thinking on how bass lines might be classified. I put my engineer hat on and asked myself what are the 2 most salient features of a bass line and concluded the degree to which it’s melodic and the degree to which it aligns with the kick drum; hence the attached plot. The total number of dimensions that define any given bass line is no doubt more than 2; it may 4, 6, 8 or more. But as a 1st-order approximation does anyone have better thinking or comments on this plot? I’m guessing that musicologists and other experts must have thought about this question.

More severe than AI killing the industry, is you killing your dreams due to assuming that AI is killing the music industry. Writers will continue to write and innovate regardless of what anyone or anything else is doing.

I really liked the song with its beautiful introduction, as well as the video. As for the meaning of the lyrics, is it a psychological introspection? laurent

It made me want to have a cup of coffee. The guitar parts are great. The accompaniment and vocals have a slightly captivating quality. Very pleasant to listen to. Laurent

It's a good thing I did some Googling, because my mind definitely went in a different direction from what your song intended. Once I was properly oriented (pun intended), I was able to enjoy your very good song. Good vox, good use of BIAB, and quite a chord chart! Well done, Lee!

The below verse is such vivid imagery. “This trying agony of looks askew Wondering what the other one might do Caught up in a web beyond our ken Waiting for the gods to just say when” It so well describes relationships that are headed for the end. Your fine lyric is a perfect match for a bossa feel. We love your harmonica! J&B Such a great review, thanks, J&B! I love it when my lyrics get quoted, absolutely makes my day!!!

I gave it a good try and was not able to find anyway to adjust the "lyric font size". That option does not appear to be avialable.

I think I remember this song, but not well enough to A-B it for you. This version is very good, very accessible, enough light philosophy to make one reflect without getting mired in the gravitas of the serious stuff. I liked it, as I do most of your material. Good vox, good production, a winner all the way around. Nice work!

Hi everyone, This song is a remake of an older song of mine from 2021. I really liked that song, but it was also a bit complicated and therefore perhaps less appealing. I think this version addresses that. Now I'm curious if you agree with me  The song is called The Dice https://on.soundcloud.com/4BjHVDHeSVolHFdSau I also made a video of it, that's on YouTube and this is the link: On the song's homepage, you can see what I actually look like.  The lyrics (and the YouTube link are on SoundCloud or in the video. Let me know what you think of it. Hans ============================================ The key is G, tempo 110 bpm Style is _PBALLAD.STY (Pop Ballad w/ Symphony) RealTracks: 3467:Bass, Electric, 3670:Piano, Acoustic, 4196:Guitar, Acoustic, 3075:Fiddle, 1006:Piano, Acoustic, RealDrums: CajonSlow16ths

Si ton BIAB fonctionne correctement, ne t’inquiète pas trop pour ce genre de petits détails : il y a souvent des fichiers qui semblent "incomplets" sans que ce soit un vrai problème. BIAB a déjà assez de vraies bizarreries pour qu’on ne perde pas trop de temps à traquer les fausses anomalies 😉

Fender has tried to improve the Stratocaster SO many times. S-1 switching. Lace Sensor pickups. Roller nuts. The list goes on. Thankfully, they keep rolling it back to something close to Leo's original design. I actually like the Lace Sensor pickups, I have them in one of my strats. Never cared for the Gold ones, mine has the Red, Silver and Blue set. I'm on a Strat user group over on FB and lots of people still swear by them. I also like the Fender Noiseless pickups they introduced a few years later, I have them in my '04 strat which is my main guitar. And I would argue that the five way switch that was introduced in the late 70's is a definite improvement over the original three way switch that Leo chose. To each his own I guess!  For sure!  I'll throw the original 7.25" fingerboard radius into the "acquired taste" category, too. Oh, the RWRP middle pickup was another good innovation that stuck. Love positions 2 and 4. Was referring less to MY tastes in gear than to the innovation reversals over the decades: The market just tends to swing them back to an old school Strat, noisy pickups and all. Go figure...

Thank you very much. For some reason I had changed my ASIO driver to AsioFor All but switched it back to my Focusrite driver. All good.
