Hi all. I dont have a great vocal range but am messing around with some falsetto on this one.
Does it pass? Not sure if the vocal is too loud? All comments welcome. Rob
Oh Please


Oh please remember me locked in a dark abyss without a key
Oh please remember me all I have to take is your memory

Chorus
The darkest time most lonely times I fall.
You have all my Love please take it all.

Bridge - Verse and chorus


Oh please don't be so unkind I been thinking bout you most of the time.

Oh please don't be so unkind all the roads I try to build you under
mine

Chorus
The darkest time most lonely times I fall.
You have all the Love please take it all.

In The darkest time most lonely times I fall.
You have all the Love please take it all.

Yes!

Roy Orbison!

I love the inflection at Ple-ease...



This may be may favorite performance and mix of yours, Rob. Really, really good.

Rob,

Everything sounds good. The vocal is nice (not too loud). Your falsetto definitely works!

That guitar solo is killer.

Nice arrangement. The strings are a nice touch - at the right time. Terrific mix. Nice song.

fj

Rob,
Absolutely on point vocal for me ( wish I could do that Roy Orbison thing!) and a tasteful arrangement.
You are on a roll lately... and they are all good!

Robert

Bob,

I like the song and your singing. To me you sound like Bobby Bare on this one. I like that you sound continues to evolve with each song you release. The guitar work is nice too.

By the way, I think you vocal fits in the production, it's not too loud or back in the mix. For some other song you might want to change the vocal level but the level is consistent with the style of production you used for this song.

I have to agree with David Snyder and say that I really enjoyed how you said "Peh-lease"! It added a lot of character and fun to the song. I don't think that the vocals are too loud at all. I think it fits quite nicely.

Thanks for sharing!

I think vocal level is just right, and the singing style works for your type of voice.. More, pulleese!!

Robert,

This is a great song and you are a great singer... Mix is perfect.

Loved it.

Bob

Hello, Rob

Nice falsetto!
You succeeded in extending the range of your great voice.
And also very nice melody!
I like that you change to minor key in the chorus part.
But you return to the major key again soon.
As for me I wanted you to continue the minor key a little longer.
But that is merely my taste, please do not mind.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Thank you David. You made me smile. Rob

Hi Rob,

Love it...Short and Sweet.

George

Really well done! I think the vocals are just right on this one, personally. The falsetto doesn't sound forced and the volumes sound excellent. That aside, it is wonderfully catchy and I love the chorus. Puh-pleeease! Definitely getting some Roy Orbison vibes here too, as David mentioned above.

All together a very professional sounding tune - thanks for sharing

So well done here!!! vocals dead on and the style is so 60's pop, country love it!!!

And I love the guitar!!!

Excellent vocals, Roy Orbison and Elvis come right to mind. Lovely melancholy melody. The guitar solo blends nicely with strings. Mix is perfect.

Janne

All sounds good to me Rob. Excellent vocals, and nice changes for the chorus.
A great listen, thanks!

John

Many thanks Floyd

Thanks Robert for your encouraging comments.Rob.

Hi Jim. Long time no see. I like Bobby Bare and his 500 miles tune particularly.
Thanks for your great comment. Rob

Hello Ember.Thanks for your support.Rob

Love your voice. Do that some more!

Rob, This one sounds really good. Beautiful job on the vocals and some fine editing on that solo guitar. Much enjoyed, Tom

Hello Tano. Thank you.

Hello Robert. Thanks for listening

Hello Shigeki. When I used the minor chord I couldn't find another minor chord to go along with it so I changed back to a major chord as you mentioned. Thank you for your great comment.Rob

Thank you George.Rob

Great comment.Thank you Deryk.

Thank you Cliftond

Very nice. Loved the vocals and how you did the falsetto.

Very cool tune.

This immediately hit me as having a Blue Bayou kind of groove. Roy Orbison as David said, is dead on. This also is right in the same vein as The Mavericks. Easily one of my favorite bands that never really got the acclaim they deserved.

Yep... nice work

Roy was immediately what I thought!! Even some of the unusual chord changes and the rhythmic groove are very "Roy". This is really cool, and vocals are wonderful!! Take care. Greg

Thank you Janne.

Many thanks John.

Thank you Jose. Rob

Rob,
I listened to the intro a few times.I don't mind the guitar starting the song over one the side at all, when the 2nd one comes in it doesn't seem to quite match it for tone but that's OK because the bass & drums come in pretty quickly to fill the space.
I reckon you could duplicate the strings and put a set on the other side with a slight change to time, (a delay of a milisecond or three would be enough), or tone to get a BIG O effect. As they are the higher violin sounds closer to a pedal steel. I guess that's the difference between a string quartet and a clutch of violins. Alternately you could use an Automatic Double Tracking plug like https://www.kvraudio.com/product/adt_by_vacuumsound to do it for you. It takes a little fiddling to get the thing right but it's easier than actually double tracking.
The solo is excellent but ends a bar short. You could copy & paste the last note and extend it so it plays out or generate a tag part and import that to fill the empty bar.

Wow Rob,

If ever there was anybody else here on the forum, trying to create an evergreen.
I forgot, because you are clearly the master at that.
Very cool sound!

Rob

Thank you Tommy.Rob

Hello Bella.Thank you.

Late to the party and all's been said.

This reminds us of one of Janice's favorite singers -- Raul Malo

Terrific vocal and a nice production to show it off!

Enjoyed it!

J&B

Sounds really good Rob! I agree with David that it's in the Roy Orbison style! That minor chord change you put in makes the song much more appealing to me! Thanks, Torrey

Thank you Guitarhacker:) Rob

Rob,

This is an incredibly engaging song that you've written. I love the way that you've arranged it and how you perform it. All the above compliments are very well deserved.

All the best,
Noel

Rob,

Love this type of tune; could listen to this one all day. You're too humble on your vocal--the range and falsetto work very well. Wonderful sound and production. The Roy Orbison call out is spot one—he would have killed this—but your lower pitch vocal holds its own easily. Great electric guitar solo as well. Terrific from start to finish.

Best Regards,

Deej

Thank you Greg.
