Hi all,
Here's a french song.
The title means " As long as... ".

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/tant-quil

RD NashvillePop16^1
RT 1162 Acoustic Bass
RT 2914 Acoustic Guitar
RT 3059 Acoustic Guitar
RT 3198 Acoustic Guitar
RT 2870 Piano
RT 667 Electric Guitar
RT 2336 Viola
RT 3267 Cello
RT 66 Harmonica

Here's an approximate translation for the lyrics :

1) As long as I have a song to write,
a thousand times on the loom, I will come back.
So my words will be woven
around mixed music.

2) As long as I miss a star in my sky,
the need for light will be essential to me.
And I will always look up,
looking for bright skies.

3) As long as it remains a part of dream in me,
I will go to meet it in the land of emotion.
Quiet, as long as he can dream,
my mind will get exalted.

Great work on this Chris37, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. I found this very easy to listen and the mix sounds well polished too. Excellent guitar riffs too. Great work!

Interesting bluesy rhythm, exciting combination of instruments, cello and acoustic bass work very well with the acoustic guitars, at some point the playing of the electric guitar distracts me a bit. Nice to hear your lively French singing on this forum smile

Chris,
A lovely composition & being sung in French adds a little Je ne sais pas.
In terms of mix I reckon the vocal is a little loud and harsh - not unpleasant - just needs the edged rolled off with some gentle delay or reverb.


Cheers
