Waiting

I had posted a song a few weeks back. (Psalm 105) such nice detailed comments!
So... we thought it would be a good idea to let the BIAB forum hear this music before we do the official release in a few weeks.

This is song one of 4 from my daughter Jubilee Reed

Thank to all the folks that post on the BIAB site. We are learning so much here!

New version uploaded to sound cloud Nov 6. The first file was too loud and had clipping issues

Enjoy!

A “longing for love” song.

Jubilee wrote this song about 5 years ago as part of an “introduction to song writing” course.
It’s the first song that we recorded with the BIAB band. It took a long time to get the right sound. We started with the “resolve Steady driving country” but replaced the original drums with “brushes”. Also added a fiddle track in the middle of the song.
We started recording in November 2018. First in RealBand.

Later I found out about Cakewalk by Bandlab and we moved to it and pretty much had things finished except for the ending. Then this got put on the back burner.
Then I found out about Reaper. Really enjoyed the tutorials “how to record your band” and went whole hog in Reaper.
We recorded 3 other songs and came back to Waiting and moved it to Reaper too.
But we had gotten soooo much better at recording and mixing over the year that we deleted all the vocal and guitar tracks and did everything over!
So the first track is actually the last track recorded!

Jubilee plays fingerstyle guitar, sings lead and Harmony.
Husband Mark mixes in some harmony also.


Waiting
Jubilee Reed


Down the street she walks alone
And no one knows how far she’ll go
No one knows

Nobody here knows her name
Or from which old town she came
No one knows
And no one cares to know

She cries hello
Is anybody home?
She says goodbye to what she’s left behind
She’s only waiting for her lover to arrive
He promised he will come and be by her side

Search this town for anything
That will give her strength within
Anything
She’s been waiting all her life
She keeps her hopes up high despite the pain inside

She cries hello, is anybody home?
She says goodbye to what she’s left behind
She’s only waiting for her lover to arrive
He promised he will come and be by her side

The hours pass by
She’s never felt so alone in all her life
But she knows it won’t always be this way
When he comes to stay

She cries hello, is anybody home?
She says goodbye to what she’s left behind
She’s only waiting for her lover to arrive
She cries hello, is anybody home?
She says goodbye to what she’s left behind
She’s only waiting for her lover to arrive
He promised he will come and be by her side
