I wrote this song Two years ago. At the time I was hoping Judy would come trough from Covid-19. Unfortunately she never made it.
The style used was "CPOPNGT.sty Country Pop w/ Nylon Guitar & Electric" All tracks were used. The backing guitar was achieved by using the multiriffs function.
The piano part was EZY Keys Grand.
The choir towards the end was E/W Hollywood Backup Singers.
The Singer was of course Amy From Yamaha "Vocaloid"

It took me the better part of a week to complete this. I am working a more satisfying ending!.... Another week maybe.

Such a sad song, Robert. SO sorry for your loss. What a terrible time. This is a good mix, although the piano is bit too out front --but that's just another opinion. Man, those vocals really fill the room. A good song written from the heart.

I hate when I hear of people succumbing to this virus.

The song is well done and haunting.

Thank you Marty. Really appreciate your comment.

Robert1752,

You did a beautiful job on this sad tune that I'm sure many can relate to...I certainly can, I nearly lost my mother to this and did lose personal acquaintances.

This is the first time I've heard your work which is excellent btw, and will be watching for more!

Thanks, Torrey

Beautifully crafted. Haunting, sad, but the ending had an uplifting quality to it, one that suggests hope and peace in the midst of pain and suffering.

My heart goes out to you for your pain... The song was well written and heartfelt... The vocal samples were well programed, and processed... I'll look forward to hearing your update.

Thank you very much "Guitar Hacker" Much appreciated :-)

Torrey Bliss Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate this. Covid-19 certainly taken way too man souls from our midst.

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

Robert, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

A very sad but super song. Great mix.

I would like to hear a human sing this one.

Two thumbs up

Hello Robert,

Very impressive song, despite the so sad event.
You shaped the vocals very well. I liked them, especially when the other vocals came in at 1.57. Beautiful!
I only think the song is too short. Like life sometimes...

But I agree with Mario; human vocals might give that extra tough(?)

Hans

Quite a nice way to give voice to your lost love.

Well put together.

Hi, Robert.

Sorry to hear Judy didn't make it.

Pretty tune, nice arrangement.

It's a bit hard to make out what Amy is singing. I found that I'd need to go in and manually adjust the volume of the consonants in my DAW, but that's pretty tedious. Not a big deal, though.

Hello Robert
Very sad background for your song
But out came a great soulful song
I speak from experience when I say that writing songs
is a very good therapy to get over the pain of loss.
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Robert,
Sorry for your loss.
A beautiful composition. Perhaps one day a vocalist would sing it. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

My heart goes out to you. So sorry.

Beautiful composition. You captured a haunting mood mixed a little bit of hope.

Really beautiful Robert!

I know how it feels, wrote a song for my (younger) sister who died a few years ago.
Can't listen to it anymore.
