Look forward to more!

Hi guys and thanks for the listen. Yeah I love the blues but strangely, I've only ever written two. The other one, that I wrote 20 years ago, I'm working now in BIAB.
Thanks again

Music is what our feelings sound like.

Its not surprising folks thought the guitar track was yours- its a great fit with your vocal.

I love everything about 'I'm Falling". Your writing radiates competence left, right and centre. The imagery is strong, the lyric sits so very comfortably with the melody and the way that you use lyric-rhythm and -rhyme to sail the listener along as you weave your way from beginning to end is a real credit to your well-honed abilities.

And your singing.... just "WOW!" The passion, the drive and the sincerity in your vocals made for a very, very engaging listen.

Because you asked for input... My only minor thought, and it seriously is nothing more than a thought, is that I found myself wondering what the sax would have sounded like if it had a similar reverb/delay treatment to the vocals. What prompted this was that both sax and voice are lead instruments so an element of matching might strengthen the overall. Then again, it might not make a difference.

As I said above, and I resolutely stand by it, this is AWESOME!!!!

All the best for 2020,
Noel

P.S. I sincerely hope Michael Buble hears this. It would suit him so well!


Wow Noel, I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for all your kind words, it means a lot. You make a very interesting point about the sax reverb that never occurred to me but makes perfect sense. Thanks for that.

Again, thank you so much, I'm really pleased you liked it.

Take care.

All my best,

Hi Deej, Thank you for the listen and the comments. So glad you liked it.

Let's hope Mikey feels the same someday! smile

Great tune and singing, enjoyed it a lot. Was the sax done on the Roland? I agree the lead guitar could be more sparse and not step on the vocal. Great work!

Hi TuneMonger and thanks for the listen. Thanks for the comments. The sax solo is a BIAB track. Somehow I missed putting it in my original post.
For reference it was:

Soloist is saved with the song : Sax,Alt,Sol,SmtJzCoolSw75Blz (1055)

Thanks again

What a tune! It flows tremendously well, and your vocals sound top notch on this. The sax fit in perfectly as well, and I thought it was nicely catchy. A+ on the mix too.

Thanks for sharing smile
