Hi everyone,

Just completed this one, called All Alone. It's a little different style for me. Hope you like it.
The instruments are a mixture of RealTracks, and some midi strings, brass, and flute that I played in Logic.

All Alone

Here are the RT's that I used...
Bass 908 - Electric Smooth Ballad EV16 065
Piano 891 - Acoustic PopLiverpool EV 065
Electric Piano 910 - Rhythm Smooth Ballad EV16-065
Guitar 367 - Electric Background Dreamy 065

Thanks!

Steve

Tibuteman,

Thanks so much for your comments! I hadn't thought of that, but Josh Groban would be great on this one. (Of course, he would be pretty fair on whatever song he decides to sing. ) Thanks again for your time.

Broken quick time link for me on 'All Alone', but the tracks on The Other Room coming through loud and clear from mixpod.com.

Superb - great pop sensibility. Springsteenesque!!

Marc,

Thanks for your time! Don't know what happened on your link to All Alone. I uploaded it to SoundCloud a couple days back. Maybe this link will work for you...

Beautiful song and tracking. Reminds me of a few different artists rolled into one. The piano sounds fantastic !! Loved it.

I would love to "pop song" arrange this piece... I heard it and an arrangement for it just filled my head...

nice chorus hook!!!

Hi Steve,

I agree very Josh Groban. Love the orchestra mixed with the rt's. Beautiful arrangement.
Posted By: mglinert Re: New Song - All Alone - 04/27/11 09:18 AM

Yes, got you on SoundCloud, Steve

While this is already an engaging song, I feel there is some room for improvement.

A lot of the time I’m feeling something more needs to happen.
Either a really authoritative lead vocal, or failing that, more variation and bite in the instrumental backing, which reminds me a little of those ‘sequencing’ keyboards you used to get (probably still do) where you change the l. hand chord and the pattern stays the same but with a different chord.

I’m sure you could let rip a bit more on the vox – you have the tone and I’m sure you have the control and feel to do so, particularly on your own song.

And/or a few judiciously chosen hooks or fills in the gaps between the lines would be a positive change.

I hope you do find the time for a rework as the lyric and song structure have strong potential.

Best regards,

Marc
