Thinnking of You Work has made it difficult for me to produce some new material (although I have a several unfinished projects)and also from enjoying and commenting on as many song posts here as I would like to. Anyway, I wrote this song many moons ago, and it was one of my early BIAB productions. I haven't posted here before because musically it is a bit ho-hum, but I like the lyrics. Tracks: FT1681 Buitar, 12 String Acoustic Fingerpicking RT539 Bass, Electric Pop Sw RT408 Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Real Drums - Nash Pop Ballad RT2762 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm 70sBritPopMike RT2691 Guitar, Electric, Soloist Country Ballad Brent Simple Lyrics Winter came so long ago A frozen day without the snow Candle burning through the night Knowing then that things weren’t right And now I’m thinking of you Emerald eyes and autumn hair Loving you was never fair Always knew we wouldn’t last long Tried to capture you in a song And now I’m thinking of you Thinking of the way we felt Thinking of the times we held Each other while hope still remained. Love lingered and kisses sustained The way I was thinking of you. Sleeping in the firelight The only warmth I feel tonight Waking up to shadowed beams Whatever happens to unfinished dreams? I think I was dreaming of you Dreaming of the way we felt Dreaming of the times we held Each other while the hope remained Love lingered and kisses sustained The way I was thinking of you Winter came so long ago A frozen day without the snow Candle burning through the night Knowing then that things weren’t right

Hey you really can hit those loooooow notes. Very nice vocals.
one thing about the drums though... to me they sound a bit thin. Did you modify them much from the originals from BIAB?

I agree with Marty, the low notes are really fantastic and hit just as they need to. Can't wait to see what else you do!
Cheers,
Ember

Stormy,
a very nice narrative well sung.
The arrangement supports the story well - nothing flash but solid is good.
Cheers

Immediate thoughts are very nice lyric, melody and vocals.
We don't sense anything ho-hum about it.
It's a fine love lost song just the right amount of
contemplative lyric and nothing that gets overly dramatic, i.e,.
an attention holder.
Thanks for sharing it. Early production or not
we enjoyed it!

Dear Scott,
I said it before: I love your songs - they're compact, honest (can I use that term?), appealingly catchy.
The lyrics are very nice, your singing is amazing and the backing track (that's not a ready-to-use RealStyle, right?) really nails it. Sounding excellent, too.
And may I add something which isn't mentioned here usually: I love your clear pronunciation.
Very well-done, Scott, looking forward to times when your work will allow you to come up with more songs.
All the best,
Stefan

I didn't think musically it was ho-hum actually, I thought the music bed was just about right to support the vocal. And a very nice vocal it is!
Good song, enjoyed.

You really did an amazing job on this one. The low tones really flows smoothly, and the whole thing has a nice laid back vibe to it that I found really easy to take. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,

Hey, I had edited that out as I try not to get into mix comments unless the poster specifically asks for them plus It is so subjective. And I later noticed you had not mentioned the mix. We'll listen again when we get to the monitors. Cheers, Bud

Stefan Thanks, Stefan. The backing track was various RTs I "auditioned" until I found the sound I wanted. Although I hadn't really thought about it, I suppose the enunciation comes from my years as a radio announcer in the 80s.

A really superb production, vocally excellent and the mix is outstanding.
I really enjoyed the resonator, which drives the backing quite uniquely.
Excellent.
