The Law Of Attraction I have already submitted this song to the latest Xtra Styles Contest, but I would like to share it also on this forum. Hopefully you'll get interested in the contest - there are already several great songs participating. This song has a kind of a new age message - by thinking positively, positive things happen in your life. I wrote this song in 2009 and it has been available as a Vocaloid version for some time, but now that I got Miira to sing it (she also contributed to the lyrics), I made a new mix using the Xtra Style _HEROIC.STY (Heroic Modern Pedal Steel Ballad) from Xtra Styles PAK 3 with the help of some additional RealTracks and sound effects. Style : _HEROIC.STY RealTracks in style: 518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2825:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryPopMike12-key Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2667:Pedal Steel, Background DreamySingleNote Ev 075 RealDrums in style: PopRock8ths^01-a:Closed Hat, Snare, b:Open Hat, Snare Additional RealTrack instruments: Electric Guitar #1684 Acoustic Guitar #364 SynthBell #2265 Sax #403? Fiddle #624? Vocals: MiiraMixed in Adobe Audition 2017 Lyrics: You have to believe in yourself you need to be the starlet of your show the goal is to glow like Saint Lucia now it's time for you to know. you have to ascend from the shades you need to be a candle in the night the path is to ask what portrays your soul diamonds that cast your inner light. Learn the power in the law of attraction feel the universe, its energies within desire the life you really wish to have and your dreams shall come shining in. You have to believe in yourself strive for the skyline, don't dwell in what is gone to win is to bring positivity feel the golden crown of the sun. [chorus] You have to emerge from the grief you need to be a prism spreading joy the high is to smile, then your heart receives the spirit no-one can destroy. [chorus] The law of attraction The law of attraction know, ask and feel learn to be open to receive. -------- Janne

Thanks for sharing, jannesan! I really like the atmospheric vibe of this one  It reminds me of certain Bjork songs, or maybe a bit of Portishead. Very unique and captivating vocals. Plus, it's amazing how a backtrack like that can much such a world of difference! Thanks so much for sharing, best of luck in the contest!

Thanks Deryk for your kind comment Interesting references to Bjork and Portishead, I like them both, maybe I should have used some other style with loops to get the song sound even more like them. Glad to hear you find the vocals captivating Janne

"You have to emerge from the grief; you need to be a prism spreading joy."
I love this part of the song in particular. It's a nice reminder to us to rise above our sadness and to keep being hopeful or optimistic. At least that's how I perceived it!
The sound of the song was more mellow than I was expecting with the name, at least at first. Then a more sultry side came out when I heard the sax. It was a really great touch.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember

Thank you for sharing. Thanks Ember for your kind words, especially mentioning that lyric part, I'm glad you liked it  I hope my words work as a prism, at least to someone. Yeah, that sax is fantastic. The original melody didn't fit Miira's vocal range, so I was scared I would have to re-generate the sax if I transpose the song and it wouldn't be as good. Luckily, only one note had to be changed, and no transpose was needed. Janne

Hi Janne,
This is really excellent work. Super chord progression, mix, and vocal. What took it over the top for me were the lyrics---Outstanding!
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

The thing that impresses me about this is....well.....EVERYTHING!! Vocal is just beautiful. Love the ambient arrangement. The chord changes are so incredibly cool-so fresh and original. Sax solo works beautifully. This is a HOME RUN!!! Take care. Greg
