Hi All,

Here's something a bit laid back and lofi - this is called Lucinda Songs.

I can hear you sing Ventura
With my mind in a restful place
No matter the news of the day
I could drift away in space
Got one hand on the rear view
And the moonlight in my eyes
The window’s half way down
It’s hours till sunrise

And you don’t owe me something sweet
At the point we lose the sound
Those Lucinda songs will cool my mind
Should our lives become unbound

I could contemplate the outcome
With some futuristic view
Ventura’ s on the radio
I will let those waves come through
Got your voice inside my head
And the words fall all around
The ache of night has passed
It’s hours till sundown

And you don’t owe me something sweet
At the point we lose the sound
Those Lucinda songs will cool my mind
Should our lives become unbound

All BIAB Tracks:
366: Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065
362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085
362: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085
2446: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Background Ev 065
RealDrums: NashvilleEven16 Sidestick HiHat

Thanks for listening! smile

Bob

Beautiful ballad! Love your vocal as always, and the track sounds great too.

Lot's of great lines, my favorite is:

"Got your voice inside my head
And the words fall all around
The ache of night has passed
It’s hours till sundown"

Enjoyed the listen!

Bob,
A really nice arrangement and the vocal performance is cool.
You should probably work out a template de esser setting for your vocal tone and reverb preference.
Is the trem guitar you?
Tasty stuff. I'd have loved a note to fade out on but hey, 'tis done.


Cheers

Bob,

This is a real delight.

Exceptional writing - start to finish.

Super band - you are really taking these songs to where they deserve to be - using the right tracks to support them perfectly. You used that baritone guitar to great effect. Excellent arrangement. Excellent mix. Wonderful vocal.

Stir it up real good" - LW

You've done that yourself - superbly...

We are huge Lucinda Williams fans (everything she's ever cut) so just the title of this stood out on the screen. Love the references.

As fj said:

"Pour some soup, get a spoon and
Stir it up real good" - LW"

And we agree you certainly did it most superbly with this song.

Another great band, arrangement, vocal, write and mix AND LW!

We look forward to many listens on our fav playlist.

J&B

PS We've often thought your arrangements and "bands" were Lucinda like. Of all of her work Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone might be our fav...It's so cool for you to reference her!

Like Bud, I was struck by the title as I too am a Lucinda fan. The baritone works well and the rest of the band sounds great. Your usual interesting and captivating write. I always get pulled along for the ride. I enjoyed it. Really well done, Tom

Janice & Bud,

Thanks for those very kind words... That really means a lot.

That particular album is one of my all time favorites as well.

This is fantastic! It displays a strong understanding of songwriting, and there are some very noteworthy lyrics here. The whole tune has a really melancholic quality to it, which personally I find endearing. Your vocal performance only helps solidify that.

You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk
