Hi,

It's been a while since I've posted a song. Unfortunately, this year has taken me away from music for a bit. Hopefully, that's all past now!

I wrote this song a few years ago. Just recently, I thought I'd revisit it and apply some of the song-writing and lyric-writing strategies that I've learnt during the years since I first put this together.

The song was written in BIAB. Additional RTs were added in Realband. The vocals and the final mix were compiled in Reaper. I also used iZotope Nectar and Ozone to polish the vocals and mix respectively.




Please feel free to be critical about any aspect of the song.

Thank you for listening.
Noel

Quote:
FLY, ANGEL, FLY

Once upon a moonlit winter's night, near Bethlehem
Shepherd men were out in the fields, watching the sheep
They were standing in the starlight laughing and telling stories
When the sky began to glow and they saw what few have seen
The men stopped and they stared
An angel was there
Gliding down from high

CHORUS
Fly, angel, fly
Messenger on wings
Carrying the words of the Lord
Fly, angel, fly
Such happy news to bring
That Jesus is born

"Do not be afraid of who I am," the angel said
"The Lord has sent me down to earth, to bring you the news
"Wrapped up in a cloth and lying in a manger, in Bethlehem
"A baby has been born, a saviour born for you"
And as the blessed one spoke
All Heaven awoke
Glory filled the sky

CHORUS

A thousand angels were everywhere
The sound of Hallelujah echoed through the sky

CHORUS

Jesus is born
Jesus is born

After I posted this song, there were forum members who expressed an interest in knowing more about some construction aspects - lyics, arrangement, music, etc. I thought I'd post those answers in a separate document. Here's that document.
