Dear Forum Friends,
I'd like to share with you a very special song for me. As you may have guessed, I wrote it for my wife, Eve. I played it at our wedding and have played it ever since.
In this recording, I've got a soft track of RealDrums but all the rest is BB midi and my keyboards. I couldn't resist using a harpsichord synth for the instrumental verse and I've always heard the musicbox in my head when I played the end tag.
I hope you enjoy Eve's Song.

I love the use of BIAB midi. Nice. This has a bit of a McCartney vibe to it. Nice one.

Sweet song for Eva that I'm sure she'll always treasure. Like that pretty music box at the end.

Beagle, PGF,
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
Josie,
Thanks for the kind words. I've sung and played this song for her for 30+ years and it always makes her smile. Your insight of the musicbox as a treasured item never occurred to me. It adds new meaning for me. Thanks.

She must be a keeper SD, lucky Guy! Maybe my future 3rd wife will be worth writing a song like this for. Thanks for sharing Space Dog!

What a super tribute to your wife! Great mix and backing tracks along with a heart felt vocal. The music box took it over the top, super idea!


The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Thanks everyone. I'm so glad you liked it. Sorry I've been delayed in responding to your comments. As the pseudonym implies, I live the DC area and we're still reeling from the storm last Friday. Everyone is fine but we're still without power. It could have been worse, two tree came down in the backyard but missed the house.

Curt,
Thanks. Just getting started with BIAB? What a great tool to unleash our creativity. As they say "have fun"
Bob,
Glad you liked it. I'm humbled. You and Josie are awesome!
Tommy,
Thanks. She sure is a keeper. We meant that death "do us part" thing. That's why we don't keep guns in the house!

Graham,
I'm so glad you liked it. It's really cool hearing from overseas. Thanks.
Eric,
Thanks. Sometimes I'm a little sappy but it's honest.
Mario,
I appreciate your comments. I've been working on my mixing skills. It hasn't come naturally. I'm also glad you liked the backing vocals. Although the harmony is simple thirds, the balance was delicate.

Have a great Independence Day everyone!

SD
