Here is my first song of 2015, just finished writing it today. All the tracks are Band in a box. Feedback is welcome and appreciated!

It is Bass, Drums, Mandolin, Fiddle, Finger gtr, Strum Gtr, and synth.

Peace

Pretty song! Very meditative feeling. I think the vocals and arrangement worked very well. A little reverb may have sweetened it a bit. Great job! Take care. Greg

Nice song and nice vocals. A suggestion for this genre is harmony and bG vocals. There is such a great opportunity when you are singing "Peace" phrase. Backing vocals modulating the word would sound like angels.

I enjoyed the post.

Thanks for the responses and tips, I do plan on revisiting this song later; so I will put the tips to good use and any other suggestions you fine folks might have. I do plan on resinging it as my voice was tired by the time i got to the final take. I don't do overdubs so sometimes by the time I get a song done mistake free lyrically, my voice is like a gravel pit; LOL. Thanks again!

Peace, indeed. Thanks for
giving us the chance to reflect
on it...something that should
happen much more. As Greg
said, "meditative."

Very nice.

Nice match between the lyrics and the music.

Like Charlie suggested, it would be awesome to hear a group of people (or vocal doubles) coming in on the chorus.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good one, Robert. A good write. I would agree with the bgv ideas and a touch more reverb. - fj

You write some beautiful songs, and sing them well and with feeling.

I agree a bit more reverb on the vocals but the song is a joy to listen to.

All the best for the New year

Hi Robert,

A very pleasant listen. "Meditative" is definitely the right word for describing this song. I agree with Greg.

Happy New Year,
Noel

+1. The drums, guitar ,mando and fiddle sound like they are right in the room with me. Nice job on the mix. I like it a lot. Tom

Hey PG,

Nice job, and your title matches Horace Silver's classic tune - also called Peace. I think I'll do that one soon. Really gorgeous tune.

Thanks for an enjoyable listen.

Hi Robert. Nice to hear one of your songs again. I have been slightly erratic on this forum for a while. Great job.

Wow.... that is the closest Neil Young vocal I have heard that wasn't Mr Young's.

I like old Neil...... This could have come straight from one of his earlier acoustic albums.....


good job on this.

I think the vocal should have been louder so when you work on this again, bump it up.... especially in the lower vocal registers.
