'beatmaster'...

All of the nagging insecurities that plague romantic relationships are achingly expressed in your song, 'Is This The Way'.

Your Real Track choices enhance the pleading feel of your fragile lyrics, even as your singing voice hesitantly admits the presence of just the barest glimmer of hope that the lady will answer your heart's most urgent question.

It's an intimately expressed and finely produced song.

Hello Beatmaster.
I really love the pretty melody you have developed here.
The band choice is perfect.
Good job on the vocal and mix.Rob4580

Good song.Good production.
Your vocal is the highlight for me ( the double works well on the chorus).
Lots of feeling there which brings the heartache home.

Nice melody and love lost lyric.
The arrangement is appropriate though I reckon the snare is way too loud.
Why is the vocal over on the side rather than up the middle? That'd be part of the reason the snare seems to dominate - there's nothing strong to balance it up the middle.

The melody of this song is especially lovely. Great job!

beatmaster,

Solid composition. Interesting vocal phrasing. Voice doubling has minor discrepancies, but still works nicely. Mixed well & listens easy.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Nice vocal. Very nice choice of instruments. Well done

Blueage thanks for your comments appreciate every word, although I have had to repost the song as Rayc comments made me aware of a couple of things wrong.

I did repost as I am trying to work with some new gear I bought..Thanks

Thanks Robert


Rayc thanks for your meticulous listen and the heads up on the vocals don't know what happened.

Fixed now.

Irrespective of genre if the song has soul we are in.

And this has it for sure with the expressive heartfelt vocal (and lyric).

As blueage said, it "admits the presence of just the barest glimmer of hope ..."

The piano carries things along very nicely with an overall great choice of "band members."

The entire arrangement works toward a most melancholy delivery. Mission accomplished.

Enjoyed it!

Good listen, good singing, good story.

Hi beatmaster,

What an excellent mood you create with your choice of instruments, your singing and your arrangement! Once I heard the intro, I was committed to the journey. I believe that there's always room in this world for another good sad song.

Kudos to you on a terrific write and equally terrific presentation.

Regards,
Noel

Nice work on this heart-rendering ballad. The band fits the thing and your vocals carry a lot of emotion, I liked the lead too. Enjoyed my listen.

beatmaster,

Nicely done. The band works well for the song. Nice vocal. A good mix.

Enjoyed the listen.

Edshaw thanks for your comments and your time

Enjoyable listen. Good vocal delivery and choice of BIAB instruments. Thought the guitar solo needed more stereo spread, otherwise liked the mix and production.

Pretty song - a very nice sound, and an impressive vocal performance.

Very nice work all round.

Peter

Pretty song!! The recording, mix, and particularly the vocal, sound great! Sometimes the piano player hits a note that doesn't fit with the style (sometimes players just do their own thing), but otherwise, everything sounds great! Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Many thanks for your comments.

Thanks for all the comments !!.

Cool - the mix sounds much tidier now.

An excellent production.

Great lyrics and vocals, quality delivery.

Well done.

Missed this the first time, so I'm glad I heard it this time around.

Like Greg, I noticed there were a number of times the pianist made interesting choices. Not a big deal.

Very enjoyable.

Nice tune, pretty, stayed with me for a while, so you must have done a lot right with it. (This is my second listen) Nice job!

Good heartache song...
And you performed it so well...
I enjoyed it!

Rayc thanks for your time . Videotrack thank you for your comments.
