Hi,

If you have 2 mins 53 secs to spare, I'd appreciate your thoughts on my latest song. It's all BIAB accompaniment with TC Helicon harmony (via Realband). The style I used was _MDBALC2.STY.

The Brightest Day

Regards,
Noel

Noel,

It sounds good here. I'll have to audit that style.

Is this a romantic or gospel song? Perhaps it could be either?

Happy New Year!

Well it sure is an upbeat happy feel good song my friend. Besides that I liked the structure, lyric and performance. I am on my second listen as I type this reply.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for having a listen!

Curmudgeon: Don, thank you! Brenda and I wrote the lyrics from a "relationship" perspective. We hadn't even considered the gospel aspect. Following up on your comment, though, I am tending to think that I should tweak this a bit and also have a gospel version. That's a great idea

Jazzmandan: Thanks for the compliments! I just keep on plugging away and practising - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Dan C: Dan, I appreciate your thoughts. I never think of myself as a performer but I think electronics can help a great deal in that regard.

All the best for 2010 and beyond!
Noel

Hi Josie, thanks for taking time to have a listen. I appreciate your positive comments. I'm slowly getting the hang of TC Helicon! BTW, I am presently listening to your song, "Simple People Living in Hard Times". It's very catchy and really well presented! Is that a professional demo or a group you work with? It's a great sound.

Great mix outstanding vox!

This went into my keeper folder so fast that it left skid marks on my monitor.

Two thumbs up!

Hahahahaha Thanks for your vote of confidence, Mario. Mixing is always a bit of a challenge for me. I've taken Mac's advise from a couple of months back when he wrote about mixing at volumes on the quiet side. It works for me and stops my ears from getting tired, too!

This is a really nice song, very well composed! I guess that you have worked on it over and over again, am I right? :-) The lyrics, and the song in general, is very catchy! It has the qualities that burns through, if it's an old 45 or a bedroom recording! Congrats my friend!

jford: John, thanks for taking time out to have a listen. Glad you liked it.

Powderman: Powderman, I appreciate your comments. I didn't know it rained in Texas Whenever I see pictures of your state on telly, it doesn't seem to have too much greenery! Mind you, much of Australia is probably the same. In Melbourne right at the time I'm typing this, the temperature is 102 F. As we're heading into the middle of summer right now, there's plenty of brightly shining days!

stratocater: Thanks for having a listen. You're right. It did take a bit of time. Firstly, my co-lyricist and I got some rough lyrics together. I used those to come up with a chord progression and the melody (these came together pretty quickly). I then worked on getting the right lyrics and massaging them into shape so that they sat properly with the melody - that took a bit of time. All done in the spare bedroom between meals

PGFantastic: I am grateful for your comments, Robert. Thank you.

I wish you all good fortune in 2010,
Noel

How does your half of the world look next year, Noel? Hotter than ^&*#@ by the way you tell it.
I'm glad someone is still writing some happy songs. Good job - nice blend - great when it comes together like that. Give yourselves a collective pat on the back.

Cheers to the New Year. Ian

Hi Ian,

Thank you for taking the time to have a listen. Whenever possible, I try to write "happy" songs because they usually make me feel better As I've said before, mixing is a challenge for me and it's great when comes together painlessly! As for the weather, it's been raining for the last two days but that sure is a good relief from the 100+ F temperatures of the preceding couple of days. I have a friend in Japan who was building a snowman when I was here sloshing around in a pool of perspiration. Isn't it amazing how Earth's 23 degree tilt changes things so much (and the sun is 93 million miles away or thereabouts)! Such a small tilt, such a big distance, but such amazing ramifications

Okie dokie, that's enough philosophising.

Hope you have a terrific 2010.
All the best,
Noel
