I first posted this song two years ago this month. A few weeks back, I listened to it for the first time since the original thread and I was embarrassed by the track's overall presentation. I took that to mean that I've probably travelled some distance in relation to singing and mixing over the last couple of years. That would be great if it's true!!!

Anyway, as a result of the above, I took the original file and played around with it. Here's the updated mix/arrangement...




The song was written by me and a local co-writer (Brenda). It was created in BIAB, additional tracks were added in RB and everything was mixed in Reaper.

Melodyne was used to work with my vocal line and to create a touch of harmony. The Melodist in BIAB was used to invent the flute solo between the first chorus and the second verse.

Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the song and its production.

Regards,
Noel

LYRICS

I Can See Tomorrow
© 2013 N. Adams & B. Smith. All rights reserved.

Clouds arrived the day you left
I thought the rain would never end
Nights were long, I just couldn't sleep
Lonely walks were my only friends
I didn't know which way to turn
Didn't know which way to go
I didn't want to stop my heart from missing you so

[CHORUS]
Now I can see tomorrow
It's waiting for me
Waiting for me
I can see tomorrow
When everything will be alright and travelling easy

For quite a while the sun was lost
The moon and stars refused to shine
And though the world still kept on turning
All I wanted was to fade and die
But now I see a glimmer in the distance
A light that's burning with hope
And all the colours of the rainbow are starting to grow

[CHORUS]

All around me is coming to life
The end of endless night
A sunrise is ready to go
And it's heading my way

[CHORUS]

Travelling easy
Travelling easy
