Boy In The Mirror

This style was a new discovery from last years BiaB.. I`d already written the verses to this song and listening to the fretless bass helped find the chorus.
Childhood memories & reflections are a common theme in my writing - as long as I keep finding new angles on the theme I`ll keep hoeing that row!

Style is _KIRKLND.STY (Morning in Kirkland Pop Ballad)

RealTracks in style: 2937:Bass, Fretless Electric Pop8thsRene Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 1765:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop16ths Ev16 085
RealTracks in style: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085
RealTracks : ElectroFlutes Pop Ev085
RealDrums in style: NashvilleBrushesCountryPopEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes


Boy in the Mirror

sleight of hand
a magician`s trick folding time
the fading man
meadows in his heart morphine his mind
looking at the boy
looking at the boy
in the mirror

you slipped away
I put on my father`s hat
on the last page
can we turn the story back
talking to the boy
talking to the boy
in the mirror

underwater
hiding behind the sky
getting clearer
the thief the hero of your life

don`t end this way
my world never lost its shine
lets go play
the grass blade flute make silly rhymes
listening to the boy
listening to the boy
in the mirror


underwater
hiding behind the sky
getting clearer
the thief the hero of your life
the hero of your life

What a great listen. I think there must have been a strong West-Coast late-60's influence on this. Very nice lyric that conjured up more than the words said. Nicely done. I enjoyed this very much.

Robert,

Another interesting write - fun to follow along and speculate at the origins/meanings... a psychedelic ride...

I wasn't aware that BIAB had ElectroFlutes!! A cool addition for this... intriguing vocal, a good mix..

Your first few lines blow me away:
sleight of hand
a magician`s trick folding time
the fading man
meadows in his heart morphine his mind

Fabulous lyrics!

The flutes lend an acoustic/folk/psych feeling to the choruses making them seem quite Pearls Before Swine/Tom Rappish.

Thanks Scott!
After two years of posting a song every couple of weeks I`m ready to actually figure out how to get the best from my voice...so no more just plugging in a preset and saying "good enough".A ways to go, but
I appreciate that comment.
Just wait `til you hear the effects on our new collaboration.

Hi Robert,

I like the arrangement and I also like the vocal treatment you used, and of course your lyrics are always clever and well written.

Enjoyed!

Yes, my influences ( Uk folk or US hippie era) can`t be hidden.
Glad you found the lyrics interesting- thank you for listening!

Floyd,
Those electro flutes have been there for a couple of years ( I used them before but can`t remember where now).They were a late change out for a cello track; I used strings a few times lately so time for something different.
Meanings always open for interpretation - one of the secret joys of songwriting!
Thanks for your comments.

Robert,

Never the easy way out, that's for sure.
Love the complexity of this one.
Beautiful vocals and I especially like the vocal reverse backings.
And the electro flute of course.

Robert,

It's enthusiastic 'thumbs up' from me for this one.

Your production chops on this song show lots of skill and musicianship, and a well-developed sense of how to use arrangement to shape a very engaging, emotionally-charged audio journey. You had me hooked from start to finish.

I loved the line "meadows in his heart morphine his mind". It is so clever on so many levels. Firstly, to take 'morphine' (a noun) and use it as a verb to indicate soothing or calming is an incredibly adroit lyric writing strategy. Then there are those 'meadows in his heart' -- what a wonderful way of showing that he is remembering back on life, to a time when he was much younger. I'd love to be able to think of phrases like this! You have a very versatile mind!!!

Thanks for sharing this composition. I really enjoyed it.

All the best,
Noel

I`d agree with that- Mr Rapp was very underrated in my opinion.

That was fantastic Robert! I know it is not my imagination that you are getting more accomplished every day in using the BIAB program and achieving wonderful results! This in combination with your great lyric writing abilities is helping to produce some very good music! Congratulations on another great song! Thanks, Torrey

You are a poet with an extra gift of being able to musically express your writing.

This is excellent.

You are lucky, indeed, to have such an imagination and the ability to reflect so deeply on childhood memories. Janice has that...Bud not so much.

We so much like the arrangement and what you did with your vocals.

We much enjoyed this powerful production...in all aspects.

Robert..I found the title beckoning me to listen. From the beginning, I wasn't sure where you were going melodically--then I decided to just sit back and listen without being hung up on strict song construction rules. Once I did this, I was able to consider your work as a type of
stream of consciousness. I enjoyed the instrumentation and the texture it created. Your lyric is mystical, and I also found myself trying to listen 'too hard' to fully get your meaning. Listening to your work showed me that I'm probably too bought into conventional song construction to be a fair listener to work like yours, and some others. I need to let go of my expectations, then just listen and absorb. Once I did that, I enjoyed 'the ride' of your track. Great work!

Thank you for those positives, Dave.
As mentioned, I`ve taken awhile to learn about vocal processing from scratch- still not entirely happy with the results, but feel I`m headed in the right direction.

A thumbs up on vocals from one of the best singers around here is something I`ll take- with a big thank you!

Noel,

I`m always amazed at how you listen to lyrics: its a more scholarly perspective than mine and I learn from your explanations and insights!
Its also cool to hear that lines that came to me in a "goosebumps"moment have meaning for others.
I`m happy you liked this!

Torrey,
All the great productions posted here have both been a source of inspiration and driven me nuts ( how do they get that sound!!?) for the past two years.
In a slap dash way I`ve learnt some tips & tricks and really appreciate your positive feedback!

J&B,

That`s very kind- especially coming from folks who really listen and contribute so much to this forum.
Production is getting easier ... and harder, as the standard set by the music I hear coming from home studios just goes in leaps and bounds.

I`m glad that somewhere in the listen you got something from this.
It actually has a very clear construction, in my expanded, make it interesting, circle of fifths universe!
