Lyrics and Music by Quekou Vocal: SweetAnn (Synthesized using Vocaloid)
Realtracks in song:
366: Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 364: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 910: Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 688: Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 065
This was a really great song. Vocaloid vocals are not always my favourite thing, but I feel they work really well here, as they don't interfere or detract from the overall sound.
Really beautiful soul song, perfect selection of instruments for the mood. I like the introduction of the drums and those little effects fit in nicely. Very touching melancholic lyrics.
This is really, really beautiful... incredibly good!
The arrangement and the mix are spectacular. Your choice of instruments is superb and I love the way that you've used the stereo field to add audio dimension and texture.
It sounds like you spent many hours getting this to sound so good. There is a great deal of expertise on show in this piece of music and its production.

Thanks Noel. yes, I did spend quite a bit time fiddling with panning and other aspects of mixing techniques. I use Abelton Live as my main DAW
You did an incredible job on this, quekou It has just a gentle tone to it, I found it really easy to close my eyes and get lost in. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of a band called Air - but this is very reminiscent of some of their work. I especially likes when the drums kicked in.

You nailed this one - thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I haven't heard of Air before. Good to know. Will check it out.
Your song is always very impressive. This song is no exception. The combination of RealTracks is really nice. And your vocaloid is also wonderful. It is very different from vocaloids released in Japan, but I also like yours. Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Nice arrangement. Your use of BIAB tracks is very well put together. The computerized vocals are a bit strange in spots but the overall idea is conveyed well.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, SweetAnn is one of the Yamaha Vocaloid products. I think vocaloids released in Japan in Japanese are more tailored to younger generations.
