This song is a cowrite with Susie Whiting and was written back in 2009 when I had just installed my 2009 version of BIAB with RealBand. I don't remember all the settings now, just remember that I had done the basic layout on BIAB and then went into RealBand to do some editing and add the Fiddle, Pedal Steel and vocals. I was aiming at a country/folk feeling to compliment the Novella that Susie had written that was set in country/folk background.

Val,

Well I'd say you captured the feeling in those lyrics perfectly.
Very poetic words and beautiful music to match.
Was that you singing?
Very nice voice.

The only thing I'd change if possible is to update the backing track.
There are so many new real styles in the newer BIAB that would make this song shine even better then it does now.

Good job.

Tim

Thanks Tim,
Yes that was me singing. If I can find the original tracks with the vocals maybe I could update the song as I have BIAB 2012 now and am amazed at the changes and the quality of the newer tracks. Would have to use the original vocals though as I lost my voice after a bout with bronchial pneumonia last year.

Val,
This is a lovely song. You have a gift for melody!

Thank you SpaceDog,
I usually write the melody first and then add the lyrics. Just seems easier to me. I really don't know where the melodies come from. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with a melody running through my head but I have to get to the keyboard right away or it's gone.

Nicely done! Beautiful vocals, and a nice clean mix.

Howdy Yall, gotta love Country like this!

Val,

Very nice! Beautiful singing. Praying you get your voice back!

Steve

PgFantastic,

Appreciate your comments! Glad to have your opinion on this.

You have such a lovely voice Val. I'm praying for you too.

Sundance,
With all the prayers going out for me, who knows? If I'm supposed to be singing again then it will happen. Thank you all so very much!

Val

Great country feel from the traditional view.

Tried to respond to your comment last night but my internet connection was having "fits"
Anyway I wanted to thank you for taking a listen and for your comment.


Val

Great song in the classic style: words, music, & vocal.
