Thanks for the backstory. The lyric "I'll fall for you" takes on a different meaning.

Love your voice (as always), and it's an amazing write. I think the BiaB version is better than the acoustic, but the acoustic version is no slouch either.

Excellent song!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Yup, I liked this. It reminded me of Uriah Heap and Crowded House (I guess because of the lyric). All very well produced, written, etc etc.

Deej,
Both versions are good in their own way. Both share excellent vocal performance. Enjoyed both of them. Well done! Thank you for sharing.

I really like the acoustic version, it has very intimate feeling - the guitar and the singer feel very close. It just proves that a great song doesn't need a fancy arrangement and perfect mix, it's the song and delivery that count.
The BIAB version is truly different, but intriguing in its own way. The instruments and the sturdy rhythm create a lovely ambient bed and together with the amazing vocals reminds me of The Waterboys.
Anyway, the composition is very strong and haunting. Lyrics are romantic and beautiful.

Firstly, no need to sell yourself short regarding mixes. They are good as is this one.
So there. smile

We liked the dark ominous feel in the melody and the band.

Great vocals ... all of them. Cool harmony arrangement.

Thanks for the backstory about the lyric ... and an engaging lyric it was.

Well done!

J&B

PS We agree that the vocal might be a bit more intimate on the original but the new version's arrangement takes it to a new place.

Shigeki, Marty, AudioTrack, Mario, Derochette, David, lambada, Scott, Misha, Peter, Janne, and J&B:

Thanks so much for the listen and kind words. I’m surprised by, but very appreciative of, the positive reception on the acoustic version. I never quite gave it much due (largely because my musicianship skills are limited), but glad it has resonated.

Stay well all!

Hi Deej,

I listened to the full-production version quite a while back, but I never got around to passing on my comments. Tonight, I listened to the acoustic version and I'm equally blown away.

Your full-production presentation is extraordinary! In fact, the graphic below could have been my face as I listened. (I came across this just today as I was working through some Korean online and it seemed appropriate to include it in my reply to you.)



You have the knack for creating top-level, professional songs. Your writing, arranging, performing and producing are brilliant. I sincerely envy your talents!

All the best,
Noel

Excellent work!

I was expecting a nod to the SOM version but this is totally original and hits the right things. I listened to both versions and they both have a unique POV to offer on the song.

I like it.

Hi Deej ...

Well, I can think of no superlatives that would do this production its proper respect and credit. I cannot find a single, solitary flaw. It sparkles but a bit on the dark side at the same time. I agree with Floyd that this is your best song to date and one of the very best in the 10 years or so I've been here. Any true musician would be proud to have this in their copyrighted catalogue. Splendid in every way!

So sorry to hear your dad passed. But sometimes it's the best thin. I hope that was his case. Condolences from Di and me.

Alan

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
