UPDATE: For those who have been trying to sign-up to Musicoin, they have given me an extra 20 invites so my referral link should be working again. From Musicoin. "It would be very beneficial if people could complete their profiles and upload one release to have a chance to be verified" David, Bud and Janice and RichMac. Sorry you are having problems streaming on the site. They are still in "Beta" and respond that there are "some difficulties" with the streaming but that doesn't really help me! Anyway. I am sure they want to get those all ironed out before embarking on a massive roll out. David. Thanks so much for your feeback on the mix and the piano track. Really helpful. Here is a link to my original mix but I think the vocal on this one was far to way up front. https://musicoin.org/nav/track/0x178be42431af48a9d528aae704f3e2745c6abb8aTorrey. The harmonies are made using a "cheating" technique described here. https://www.joannecooper.co.za/blog/blog/the-lazy-way-to-make-harmonies-with-band-in-a-box-and-melodyneSergio, Trevor,Deryk, Rob, Robert,Clifton, Tano Music, Bob, Shigeki, PeterF, Hugh, Dani and Scott: Thank you each for commenting and encouraging on the song. I really appreciate it.

Touching lyrics, beautiful melody, the acoustic piano sets up the mood nicely and the guitar plays chords smoothly, excellent vocals - especially the backing ones. Nice very low bass at some point.

Hey Joanne, I just tried to play this via cellular bypassing my net provider and it still would not play. It's got to be some Apple issue as it will not play on my iPhone, iPad or my iMac using cellular (AT&T) or the net. Just wanted to mention that we did our best.

It took multiple clicks before the song played. It's a lovely song, good write, well sung. The mix isn't quite my cup of tea, but that's probably just me. The drum seems out of place - it seems "disembodied" and unreal. I've probably heard the prior mix, and so I've already been spoiled.  I love the Liverpool piano, but the way it jumps registers drives me batty - I really wish there were MIDI versions of all these piano tracks, because it would be so easy to fix in a MIDI editor. I've given up on being able to use some of those RealTrack pianos because of that. Which is a shame, because they're so nice. Again, maybe this is only a problem for me.  But no matter what (minor) complaints I have about the mix - lovely song, good write, well sung! Dcuny sums up my feeling quite well regarding the mix. Not sure if it has anything to do whether the site compresses the song or whatever but I too felt a disconnect in the mix as well as the last lyrics of each line trails back into the mix and I cannot hear your voice clearly. That is usually the result of improper gain staging during the mix and/or poor compression applied to a vocal with a lot of dynamic range. Your vocal level is fairly even so I would look first toward the initial gain staging which may not have been noticeable until MusicCoin applied their dynamics or reduced the resolution of the song if any of that occurred. As Dcuny stated, no matter the complaints I have about the mix, it's a lovely song, good write and well sung as always.

Joanne,
Lovely. Wonderful. And that world-class voice never disappoints. Reminscent of Janis Ian's "Jesse". Piano obscures that wonderful vocal somewhat. Guitar is sweet and a perfect addition. Another memorable project.

Hi Joanne,
That's a great song, very pretty. As others have stated the mix is not to my taste. To my ears while listening through laptop speakers the piano is too loud against your vocal. Also it doesn't sound like your vocal and the piano are in the same space.
I hope Musicoin is working out for you. I should note that I had no trouble with the sound playing.

Janne, Charlie, Bob and Jim Thanks so much for the comments. It is really interesting that the mix is not to a lot of people taste. and thank you so much for your constructive criticism.I appreciate the feedback and the learning opportunity .. As I mentioned a friend does some mixing on some of my songs. I send him the BIAB tracks and he mixes to taste. He mixes a lot of EDM, Dubstep etc tracks. So my conclusion is that my mixing is not as bad as I like to think
