Hear these words and know their true, I love you my little girl. Through the years we’ve watched you grow, through the years we’ve watched you go moving from the child that was, to the woman you’ve become and if in that time you never knew how much we really care for you, well we love you our little girl. Life just races by soon as it’s begun, and in the twinkling of an eye you’re left wondering where it’s gone. One day I’m holding you like a baby and the next you’re walking on, oh I love you my little girl. One day your there playing with your dolls next day you’ve grown so tall. One day it’s all school yard games then you’re driving off with James. its funny how things that should be said. All stay locked up inside my head but I love you my little girl life just races by soon as its begun, It picks up speed It starts to slide you don’t get a practice run, one day were holding our brand new baby . and the next that chapters done oh we love you our little girl Time just races by, soon as its begun we’ve been told its on our side. but that’s a song just for the young so treat each moment like some precious jewel you’ve found sparkling in the sun and know we love you our little girl

As for suggestions, the "wall of strummed guitars" doesn't let up. It might be better to drop them out completely and points, and change the instrumentation. Similarly, your lead acoustic is great, but on the last verse it feels like it's trying to get attention instead of sitting in the mix. Or you could ignore the above suggestions and be really rightly pleased with what an excellent job you've done! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing? BiaB 2025 \| Windows 11 \| Reaper \| Way too many VSTis.

Shows that you've been doing this for a while... A good mix throughout. The bass is clean and clear, the drums loud and proud, the guitars at the proper levels. A good listen. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I quite agree with the lyrics (being a mother myself), one moment you hold a baby in your arms, the next it's grown up. The song is beautiful, you have a very good voice. The lead guitar is great! Well done. Anne-Marie We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1gsdNLE7_Gy8qavoOplQow/videos http://rnam.net/

This a well written song that I'm sure your daughter enjoyed hearing. Have a listen to the song on my music site called "Fly". It's written with the same sentiment, for my daughters..... both of them. Oh yeah.... Welcome to the family. I think you're gonna fit in nicely here Last edited by Guitarhacker; 08/30/18 06:16 AM.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
