So Long Miss Fickle (Feat. Lawrence Olivier)One of my projects this year is to produce an album with various collaborators. The idea is that the album will consist of mainly original songs with other artists doing the lead vocal with me adding harmonies and/or a second part as appropriate. Here is the first collaboration with Lawrence (Gruverider). Lawrence made a few adjustments to the lyric and kindly recorded this magnificent vocal. He also sent me a video of him doing the recording in his home studio. I add a few harmonies and did the mixing and produced the video. The real tracks are: Bass 1122 Guitars 1815 and 854 Cello – A midi cello with Dimension Pro Lyrics are: When your breakfast is frozen and your coffee’s all gone When your house turns to rubble and the light won’t turn on When your pipes have all broken and your hopes washed away Don’t think that you can come crawling to me So long Miss Fickle, Just like a Yo-yo, you tell me you're happy, you come and you go You’re hot then you're cold, and you drift to and fro Don’t think that you can come crawling to me When your favourite pink lipstick falls right through the floor And all of your colours, Go right out the door Your favourite café’s closed and your tap has run dry Don’t think that you can come crawling to me CHORUS There's nothing to do here no need to regret Resentment won’t serve me in the space that it gets My stories not over you'll hear of me yet And one day you'll want to come crawling to me CHORUS

Bob This one is really over the top guys. I've always liked this song and it really worked for me with the male lead vocal. Great vocals and harmonies by the way. Josie you are shining with your production skills on video and audio. Lawrence, you nailed the lead - This was quite enjoyable. It's going to be a fun year. Looking forward to what's next. Charlie

Noel, Floyd and Alyn - Thank you so much for your very kind words. Lawrence certainly did a wonderful job on these vocals and the song did suit his style. Thank you Lawrence for taking my song and transforming it!
Rob4580 - Thank you so much for viewing and commenting.
Bob(Rsdean) - I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Charlie - Thank you. There are some more in the pipeline so keep tuned! The song certainly is more interesting with as male singing lead. More appropriate. It was easy to fit the harmonies in with the wonderful lead provided by Lawrence.
Bob (90bB) - Thank you so much for listening and commenting.

very nice work.
I thoroughly enjoyed that listen.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Joanne,
It's a very nice and original idea to redo some of your songs this way. You are a gifted songwriter.
(Our contribution is coming within the next couple of weeks).
This first collaboration with Lawrence is beautifully done. It's also nice to see him in a video for a change, haha.
Indeed, like Charlie said: It's going to be a fun year!
Rob & Anne-Marie

Very enjoyable song and video - excellent sound on the trax. The song has the feel of an Irish ballad - Which can deliver a message of blessing or in this case the opposite - Miss Fickle has been served her warning! Best Wishes---Pete

Hi Joanne and Lawrence,
I nearly missed this as I already knew the title. Only found out that it's a new version right now.
I'm so glad I could listen to and watch this great
collaboration.
Just beautiful. Lawrence really adds a lot to this already nice song.
Awesome harmonies.
Guenter

Thank you to everyone for the kind and generous comments. I think Joanne has a really special song here with some exceptional imagery and a strong narrative. It was my pleasure to participate in her project.
And thank you again Joanne for letting me play a part of it.
(and thanks go to Pgmusic for being the foundation of it all.)

Thank so much to Herb, Trevor, Tommmy, Richard, Dan, Rob and Ann Marie, Guenter, Greg, Pete and Lawrence. That you all for your very kind comments.
Lawrence thank you for providing this wonderful vocal and I think everybody is pleased to see you appear on the video (they are all pretty used to seeing me by now!)
I am very excited about this project and am looking forward to publishing some other tracks soon...
As Lawrence said, thanks to PG Music for making collaborations like this possible. There are really such a wonderful bunch of creative and talented people on this forum.
