Recently, I posted lyrics that I wrote a little while ago for a song called "Deciduous Love". I made these lyrics available to anyone who wanted to use them. For anyone who is interested in knowing what style of song I had in mind when I wrote these words, the below link should give some insight. ♫♫ Deciduous Love (Rock Ballad)Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the song. Regards, Noel The Band- RT 518: Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085

- RT 362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085
- RT 2854: Harmonica, Background CountryBalladJellyRoll Ev 085
- Drums: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride
- MIDI: Dimension Pro -- Organ
- Sound effects: a couple of effects I found on the internet
LyricsLost and lonely autumn leaves My only friends tonight We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere Forgetting once we had a happy life All alone, where cold winds blow Don't we deserve a home? Deciduous love Deciduous love Lives for summer sun Deciduous love Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done I remember back in springtime My life was looking good When summer shone and love got strong as days got longer I felt invincible and self-assured But seasons changed, blue turned grey And then came autumn's blade Deciduous love Deciduous love Lives for summer sun Deciduous love Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done One day I’m hoping that one day Summer will never go away Deciduous love Deciduous love Lives for summer sun Deciduous love Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done It’s always needing some summer sun

Finally the real version!
Love it Noel.
The mix here is incredible. What a gorgeous professional, warm sound. Truly sounds likes a professional recording studio.
Awesome vocals and I loved the harmonica. Great choice of instruments.
So well done on every level.

The one thing that wasn't a surprise was the quality of what you've done. Really great job Noel!

Hi Noel,
Always impressed by your pristine mixes. Really enjoyed this. I have to say I don’t think I had heard the word deciduous before. Not only did I enjoy the tune, but I learned sonething too.

Hi Noel,
As has already been mentioned, it's always interesting to hear what the composer had in mind as he/she wrote a lyric. It takes a real talent to make a relatively simple song sound so full and vibrant. Not easy to pull off but you handled it with ease.
Your mixing and mastering are second to none. You have a special touch with your music that escapes common words to describe. It's as though your heart and your brain conspired to write this one. I know I've listened to a masterful production and song when ordinary words are inadequate to describe it. This is one of those songs.
Wishing you well, my friend.

Noel this is fantastic. Your lyrics are top notch. Your vocal is perfect for this song. Love that chord progression also. Plus as always your mix is pro.

Noel,
well done. I really enjoyed the reverb or delay thrown on love.
Backing, lyric and melody work very, very well together.
Cheers

Hi Noel, Love it! Very nice flow to this, the sort of song you don't want to end. Just finished my third listen actually  I love your attention to detail! The delay you add to "love" for example, and that subtle sound effect that comes in every so often. Choice of notes during the vocal too, "away" for example, wasn't expecting you to sing that note but very effective. My new favorite from you, hands down!

David, Thank you for taking the time! Recently I purchased a collection of CLA plugins from Waves when they were on special for $69. I've been very tempted to buy these over the years because Tom Adams has regularly used them and his works always sound excellent. When the sale price went way down, I thought "why not!". I have no doubt that it's these plugins that helped me capture the sound you describe. They really are excellent. I used them on the bass and the electric and acoustic guitars as well as my vocals. All the best, Noel

This is really gorgeous ballad with lovely beautiful melancholy melody and chord progression. Reminds me of some western movie. Great lyrics fits the current mood when summer is gradually fading away here. Your vocals are excellent as always. And the arrangement and mix are superb with all those little details.

Noel,
Deciduous. What an interesting word to base a (lost) love song on!
The write does a great job of developing the idea, too.
The cold drop of autumn, remembering the strength of Spring, the hope of summer renewal...
The production and mix are tight. All the instruments have a good sound.
The vocals sit perfectly in the mix.
(One of your best mixes, I think).
Very well done.

Noel, we commented on the nice lyrics on the others' versions and we feel the same after hearing it again. A great write!
"I remember back in springtime
My life was looking good
When summer shone and love got strong as days got longer
I felt invincible and self-assured
But seasons changed, blue turned grey
And then came autumn's blade"
We particularly enjoyed the journey and imagery through the seasons.
As others have pointed out the mix is pro level all the way and very supportive of your excellent vocals.
This is one that we have no interest in parsing out...we just enjoyed listening the the SONG.
Kudos!
Bud
PS I'm a big fan of the CLA fx. The drum module completely changed my approach to RD's in a very positive and easy way.

Deciduous love
Leaves when summer is done I see what you did there.  To be honest, the title sort of put me off - a bit too clever for my taste. And although I'm still a bit on the fence about that, everything else - singing, production, arrangement, lyric - is stellar. Excellent.

What a tune! This sounds like the kind of tune I'd imagine coming out of California in the late 60's/early 70's. It is wonderfully catchy, and your vocal performance is stunning. It sounds really well mixed too. Very crisp. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio. Great work and thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

The one thing that wasn't a surprise was the quality of what you've done. Really great job Noel! Hi HearToLearn, Thank you for listening and commenting! More important, though, thank for being the one who started all this. In honesty, I would never have thought of doing this had it not been for you and Joanne Cooper. All the best, Noel Hi Noel,
Always impressed by your pristine mixes. Really enjoyed this. I have to say I don’t think I had heard the word deciduous before. Not only did I enjoy the tune, but I learned sonething too. Thanks David. I'm glad you had time to visit! I dare say that coming from Florida, there's not really all that many reasons to use the word 'deciduous'! From what I see on TV, your state is the land of evergreens, sunshine, beaches and palm trees! Thanks again! Best regards, Noel

Noel,
lt was very cool to hear other’s versions of this song, and then to finally hear yours. I really liked animarorecords version of this song, but this is equally terrific. Just amazing to hear the contrast in styles, yet each have great results. This is an admirable production with a some nice vocal work. Very engaging listen, and love the use of the harmonica here. Great stuff!
All the best,
Deej
