Hi All, Here's a new little song called APRIL SHOWERS. I’m getting ready To say goodbye to snow I’m getting ready I thought you ought to know The sun is shining A little more today It’s getting close If only you would stay Gone are the shadows Across the bedroom door Gone are the footsteps Bare feet on the floor Gone are the nights The minutes and the hours So gone baby gone So gone baby gone Gone like April showers I’m opening windows To let the breeze come in I’m opening windows I need to dream again The time is coming A journey day by day It’s an open road If you must drive away Gone are the shadows Across the bedroom door Gone are the footsteps Bare feet on the floor Gone are the nights The minutes and the hours So gone baby gone So gone baby gone Gone like April showers So gone baby gone Gone baby gone Gone like April showers Gone are the shadows Across the bedroom door Gone are the footsteps Bare feet on the floor Gone are the nights The minutes and the hours So gone baby gone So gone baby gone Gone like April showers BIAB Tracks: 3786: Bass, Synth, MinimalHipHopHeld 095 3784: Synth, Rhythm, GhostPads 095 3785: Synth, Background, HipHopDistVoice 095 RealDrums: ElecHipHop As always - thanks for listening! Bob

Oh, I've been looking for a new Bob Dean the song-writing machine's new one. Yep, this one is like discovering a gold mine without the burden of the gold. Man, I like how everything appropriately supports the lyrics and vocal, which are the brightest part of the gold. Interesting choice of backing band, and they all work so well.

Bob,
Cool contemporary minimalistic folk tune. Excellent lyrics. Vocals are clear and treatment is interesting, but in a few places FX overpowers them. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Misha nailed the description: “Cool contemporary minimalistic folk tune.”
We run across quite a few Spotify playlists that focus on contemporary folk or folk rock and this would be a perfect fit.
“I’m getting ready
To say goodbye to snow
I’m getting ready
I thought you ought to know
The sun is shining
A little more today
It’s getting close
If only you would stay”
What an engaging lyric intro … one that grabbed us from the get go.
Great choice of BiaB session folks and a sparkling open mix.
Enjoyed it!
J&B

I always like this intimate and fragile side. Personally I prefer your natural voice but you have to respect the creator's choice. It's very poetic.

Bob, ultra cool tune. Love the arrangement and the use of the hip hop synth to underpin the track. Great write and vocals. Especially liked the (doubled?) vocals near the end. Super job!

Bob, a perfect example of how less is more can make a song.
Super vocal, however some of the harmony FX I thought made it hard to hear the lyrics, but that is just my opinion and it didn't detract to much from this song.
Great mix.
Great work.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hi Bob,
Yes, i can agree with all above my post. A good song!
Minimalistic, but effective. And so nice lyrics.
Your voice is vulnerable and sensitive. And therefore intriguing!
Btw: I hope the showers will leave here too, soon...
Hans

Cool song, sounds modern but is still 100% Bob Dean.
I'm not a fan of Autotune™ as a vocal effect, but that's just a personal preference.
Good production, and the sparse arrangement works very well.
Very good!
