Hi All,

Here's something new. This is called Gone Like April Showers.

All BIAB RTs - recorded and mixed in GarageBand.

Thanks for listening!

Bob

Hey Bob,

This is great. The instruments, the rhythm, the melody - all great. This is my new favourite song of yours. I loved the lyrics. To me they were about coming through on the other side of a broken relationship. That was something I found it very easy to relate to.

Excellent work!
Noel

Bob,

Good to see ya back around. I really like the sound in the first verse with just you and the guitars - a fresh, clean sound that fit your lyrics nicely. The organ threw it off a little for me... would have liked that early sound to continue throughout...

As always, an interesting listen.

Hey Noel,

Thanks so much. I've been so busy lately - not much time for music. Appreciate the kind words.

Bob

Floyd,

Thanks very much - appreciate the listen and feedback. I was going for a Garth Hudson type backing...

Bob

Great lyrics, very good all around. Thanks

Good to hear you are back, Bob.

A great song but the verse really hooked me, beautiful and simple.

My favourite so far I think

Alyn

Mike,

Thanks very much.

Bob

Hi Bob
As has been said, nice to see you back on the forums. Nice song. I especially enjoyed he more acoustic verse but I loved the lyrics in the chorus "so gone baby gone"

Alyn,

Thanks. So glad you liked it. Appreciate the feedback.

Bob

Hey JosieC,

Thanks so much. I think you and Floyd made the right call on this one - sounds better as an "all acoustic".

I just uploaded a new acoustic version. Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Bob

Nice one Bob. I like the acoustic feel now.

Hi Bob
A nice acoustic country song. Great lyrics - some time you gotta move on and Gone like April Showers is a neat way to put it.
cheers

Bob, I always like the imagery in your songs. This one is especially good. I heard both versions and this one is much better. With the organ gone you might drop back the vocals a bit. I am used to your unique style after all these years and I always look forward to your posts. Don't stay away for so long. I really liked this. Good write and good vocals.

Great song, well song and written! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Tommy,

Thanks so much for the kind words. I agree on the vocal - I dropped it back a bit. Thanks again for listen and helpful feedback.

Bob

Thanks again Joanne!

Bob

Ian,

Always so nice to hear from you. Thanks very much.

Hi Bob...

Really nice! We like the hook a lot! And the percussions are fabulous! Everything about this is great! We loved it!

Al & Di

Robert,

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this one. Always look forward to hearing your new songs as well.

Bob

Thanks Floyd!

Bob

Dani,

Thanks. Very much appreciated - glad you liked this one.

Bob

really nice.

I think the acoustic was the right decision. I didn't hear any others since I've been kinda busy and haven't been here like I would like to be.


Nice work on the lyrics.

I like it



I think the vocals are a bit too loud. I listened on 2 devices, and yeah, I'd back them off a small amount ... just a few db should make them fit the mix better.

Thanks Herb - I did back the vocals off a bit in the last mix. Appreciate the kind words and feedback.

Bob

Al & Di,

Thanks very much. So glad you enjoyed it.

Bob

Good to see you. We've been missing the cool imagery and, man, this one doesn't disappoint.

"Gone are the shadows
Across the bedroom door
Gone are the footsteps
Bare feet on the floor"

You can really say a lot in a couple of lines. We much enjoyed this one.

Janice & Bud,

Thanks for those kind words - very appreciated.

Bob

very good write! I liked your choice of BIAB style too

Good stuff Bob. I like this one a lot.


Josie

I always look forward to any songs that you post on here. You always expand my imagination regarding lyrics. I just like the way you put things. It challenges me to be a better writer. This one is no exception!

Thanks for sharing this one.

That is so kind of you. It means a lot - very appreciated.
