You've drenched your vocal in a fair bit of reverb - and there're, (at least), two different vocal aren't they? Nice song. Ms. Cooper's tips on the tube & on her website are excellent.

This is a very nice song. I really enjoyed it. There's a couple things the were interesting - at the 1:20 mark, there's a nice little key change (I think), and then that next segment after that really made me think of Ringo Starr - maybe it was the combination of the voice and the style, but that kicked it up a notch.
Happy New Year!

Hi rayc Right on the button with more than average reverb. I do not have a naturally expressive voice so I have to dope it somewhat. Two voices, both my own, one harmonized. I liked the effect and decided to keep it in the mix. Well picked up indeed. Thank you for the compliment

Happy New Year! Hi EdZ314 Thank you and glad you did. No Key change but I extended a 1 bar chord to the next bar first two beats and then added C/D to lead to the G and trigger me for the higher pitch Ringo Star https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/blush.gif Wow! Thank you

Nice song - touching write. As there's nothing wrong with your voice, there's no need to use anything but the "regular" amount of reverb. You've got the same instrumentation through the song. That's not a bad thing, but give it a bit of "sameness" after a while. Changing the instrumentation a bit - such as starting a bit more sparse, and then adding instruments - would help create a bit more build. I enjoyed the song. Well done.

Hi Chris,
This is a really good listen. Your writing and presenting are strong and you engaged me from start to finish. The instruments that you chose to back you were a great fit and enhanced the emotional journey of these very touching lyrics.
May 2020 be kind to you! Noel

Hi Noel96
Thank you so much for the listen and the very positive feedback. This was an emotional journey to express how I feel, it took a number of recordings to get past the choking bit. I am grateful for everyone's feedback and will definitely revisit and rework this song because I feel there are many who can relate to loss.
God Bless and a spectacular 2020 to you

Chris,
A very emotional song.
The BIAB backing tracks are well done, nicely mixed. The vocal is heart-felt.
Nicely done.

Wow - very nicely done. A really moving piece and the whole thing flows like water. Very easy to listen to and the vocals sound sincere and really hit you in the chest. Thanks for sharing

Excellent tribute to your mother and a treat for us all.
The soul is there and, irrespective of genre, that will always engage us.
The choice of RTs and the mix both work well.
Thanks for sharing!

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."
