Hi all, Here's a french acoustic waltz. Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/venusHere's an approximate translation : Like an old loner, I'm at the end of the world no more searching for the Mona Lisa. I’m going to the basics, nothing artificial anymore. The wind in your hair gently tickles me. In the darkness of your eyes, I'm not empty-handed. I can't describe the power of your smile. Words are useless, I'm going to keep quiet. Their meaning is versatile. Make way for imagination ! I don't want any more pictures or coloring. I put away the pastels, the brushes and the pencils. No more watercolors, too many imperfections ! The illusionist is an unrealist. Even the dark room under the photographer's eye turns out to be paltry. Close the paragraph ! I don't want any more pictures or coloring. Seeing you is enough for me. What more could I want ? Here I am converted, I met Venus. I don't want any more pictures or coloring. RT 1106 Acoustic Bass RT 1181 Acoustic Guitar RT 1182 Acoustic Guitar RT 1186 Mandolin RT 3195 Solo Acoustic Guitar RT 3268 Cello

Thanks Jim for your comments.
With this song, Patrick wants to say there are no words or pictures to describe the beloved woman. Christian

Lovely work from you and Monsieur Fournerat. The backing vocals work a treat.
This sounds like real cafe/bar chanson.
Cheers

As J&B so eloquently (and accurately) said: Beautifully written, arranged and sung.

Hello Chris,
As I wrote on SoundCloud; Très bien chanson!
In this walz with that nice nylon guitar, your very nice vocals fits perfectly. This is how French songs must sound. A song with more than a touch of melancholy.

Nice work on this - love the waltz groove, and thought it was really easy on the ears. The vocals are truly stunning too - it sounds really lush.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Chris ...
Your songs are always so nice to listen to you. The acoustic guitar is so light yet prominent. It is so gentle .. like a leaf blowing in a sweet breeze. The background vocals are wonderful. Such a delightful listen! Best to you ...

Chris,
A very orthodox French chanson.
I really like this song. I think it's a great song.
Like Georgse Moustaki or Serge Reggiani's vocal.
The starting melody is reminiscent of "MANINHA" by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Thanks Shigeki and Noel,
It's not always easy to find an original simple melody which is the good one to put on a song. I've tried many melodies before finding this one. Christian

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."
