This is a positive song to remind us to wake up each beautiful day whatever your circumstances are.

Music:
I used BIAB to help me with the Bossanova style music. Then sequenced the music in Reason.
I used BIAB again to generate the guitar and piano solos, and also the riffs throughout the song. In the beginning, I was not sure what type of BIAB solos should I generate. Until I came up with the
idea of a country solos over the bossanova style, and it worked perfectly!

The vocals used was from Yamaha Vocaloid, Chris voice bank.

Lyrics:

It’s A Beautiful Day

It is time getting up to a beautiful day
Forget all your troubles and let them slip away
Begin your day with positive thoughts
No negative vibes throughout the day

Try to be happy even you’re feeling down
You keep on smiling to take away that frown
Seen from below the sky is blue
Appreciate around you and enjoy the view

It’s a beautiful day
Sometimes life is hard but there’s always a way
Fill your heart with love and happiness within
Don't dwell on the past.
Simply try to live again.

Have fun going out with your loved ones and friends
To clear your mind and be focused
On what would life may bring
Satisfy your needs to the sense of belonging
Appreciate anything
It's a beautiful day.

Thank you for listening!

Love the lyrics and the production all around - it's a beautiful song - though as I mention elsewhere I'm not keen on synth vocals. But that's my bugbear.

The song is very well constructed and well orchestrated. Very pleasant to listen to. I am like Waoband, I am not totally convinced by the vocal synthesizer but that does not detract from the quality of the whole.

Good one, Noel. A good one to wake to. I remember the band of the same name. I like the way this one flows with a bounce to the melody, and a perky invitation from the vocal. Dig that piano solo. Good mix and morning medicine.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Noel, this is an excellent song.
Nice groove and backing tracks
The lyrics are so true!
FWIW I think the vocals could be a tad louder.
I can picture this in a musical.
Great work.

Noel..you really did some interesting things off the bossa base..I think your idea of using the country solo elements worked out great. I never heard the strummming guitar with the bossa style in BIAB, so that’s a great idea, too. And, yes, what a positive feel overall..great work!!

Nice song with a smooth vibe, really nicely arranged and well produced.
The style you've chosen works really well.
I don't like the vocals so much, mainly because they're a bit hard to understand.
I used to use Vocaloid myself, but Synthesizer V is so much better, I'd give it a try.

Thanks. I agree with you that SynthV is better. I already own that now with 2 vocal banks.

This is re your replies to commenters, Noel. I assume that like me most forum users receive email notifications of replies, but when you respond to comments you never state who you're replying to, so we never know whether or not to stop following a thread.
