I feel like I need to jump back in on this... Once again, thanks to all of you for your generous comments. And again, I want to point out that Noel's writing on this is some of his best I have heard! The melody really got stuck in my head when he sent it to me (and not because it sounded like The First Noel!)  (I guess we could call this The First Noel Adams.) Honestly, there are enough diversions to the melody line for there to be no conflict with the Public Domain song, The First Noel. And I think this one has a very compelling, haunting melody line to it. I have never really thought of what I do as midi production. I always just thought of it as orchestration and arrangement, even though it was using midi. It just occurred to me after reading some of your comments that this is a lot of midi sounds! (I know that seems silly, but true.) Anyway, I am always striving to find a way to keep my arrangements sounding as "real" as possible, and maybe that's why I don't think in terms of midi, as much as in terms of orchestration/arrangements. I am flattered to read your kind comments. Also, I think Noel did a superb job on the vocals. Don't let the fact that there are 14 plugins on his vocals lead you to think there were any problems with the vocals. All of the plugins are there (each one used sparingly) to bring out the true natural sound of his voice, which digital recording processes can tend to make slightly more sterile and harsh. I only look at the cumulative result, not how many plugins it takes to get there. There was nothing wrong with Noel's voice, or his recording that required a massive amount of plugins to fix. He did a fine job of singing, on pitch, etc. These plugins are designed to help an already good recording fit into the mix, not artificially make him sound better than he did. This was a lot of fun to work on, because of the good quality of material I had to work with. And Noel, I am honored to work with you any time! Thanks again to all! Steve

Wow, apologies first, Noel & Steve, for not having discovered this masterpiece sooner.
'You fill my heart full of wonder, and laughter' Absolutely sensational lyrics.
The entire song is embraced in a precious melody.
This is a keeper, no question.

Noel / Steve
Just a beautiful piece of music - expertly done. The intro is stunning.
Deserves all the prior accolades and more. The vocal is lovely.
(Liked Ray's comments about the children in NSW & VIC.)
Peter Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate it. I hope that the fires haven't been too cruel up your way. We sure are a continent that's burning right now. I've never known anything like it. All the best, Noel

Dear Noel, dear Steve,
let's not quibble about percentages of who did what: This wonderful collaboration wouldn't have been as great as it is without either of you!
The mere listen is already such a treat, because everything is sounding so brilliantly, everything goes to gether so well. The vocals shine and transport the intended feel so amazingly well.
But when I read about that explosion of MIDI tracks I hardly couldn't believe it: The song comes along so pure and natural that you would never notice the huge amount of tracks and synthesized sounds.
All I can say is, 'Hats off' to both of you: A wonderful song in all respects - like I said: A treat !!!
All the best,
Stefan Hi Stefan, Thank you. I sincerely appreciate your time in listening and writing comments. I felt like you when Steve sent me a list of what he'd done. Just WOW! It's totally beyond my ability to work at his level. Now if only I could put together videos like you and Maha do! All the best, Noel

Well, I would assume that someone with strong special skills would fall in awe of your wonderful and well-coordinated musical cornerstones and sprinkle a certain amount of fairy dust and a magical mist all over them, thus rendering them as rare stones of beauty and comfort. This is truly a magnificent piece so well conceived and delivered,
What a wonderful yet powerful listen Simply Great In All Respects. The message was right on and the music flaunted it to great heights
.
Superbly done and such a sweet capture.

WONDERFUL!!!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg, Thanks for finding the time to visit. It's always good to see you. I agree with you. Steve's orchestration is stunning. Also, thank you for noticing those two lines, it a while to arrive at them. All the best, Noel

Hi, Noel & Steve !
With guys like you two it just must become
extraordinary as expected ! Wonderful, simply wonderful !
You Noel, have a recognizable way of singing

Wow - what a tune I honestly wouldn't change a thing here, you guys knocked it out of the park. Super songwriting and extremely pleasant on the ears. The vocals soar and it all flows effortlessly. I wouldn't bat an eye if I heard this on the radio - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Beautiful perfection in every aspect: lyrics, chords, vocals, arrangement. Great collaboration, I admire how you have worked the perfection to every little detail. I really enjoy those lush sounding piano and strings, great work in arranging them. It has been very interesting read all comments, the story behind those lines - learning about the process how other songwriters think. And how Steve have used all those plug-ins, unbelievable Excellent work with the music box, I wouldn't have patience to build it sound so perfect and beautiful (I have made a lullaby, still have to sing it. It has an interlude that would sound great with a music box, but I haven't find a sound as good as in your song). Janne

Noel and Steve, sweet collaboration! Beautifully crafted and performed tune. Listens very well. Feels as a lot of thought went into it. Do not take this as offence, I almost fell asleep listening to it... So it is WORKING! I think you should definitely collaborate on least couple of more, to see where it takes you. Thank you for sharing! Misha. Hi Misha, It's great to see you. I'm really glad to read that you nearly drifted off into the slumberland while listening. That's quite a compliment! Thank you. I really enjoy working with Steve. He's an excellent collaborator. I appreciate your passing through the thread, Noel

Noel and Steve,
Wow, this is fantastic!
I read your production notes, just amazing how much has gone into this piece. Very impressive to say the least!
And then I read everything that Steve did to your vocal. 14 plugins?! Such attention to detail, I'm pretty much blown away to be honest.
Nice writing, Noel, you are a true master of that craft, and I really like your vocal too.
Great way to start off the year, congrats to both of you!
Hi Dave, Nice to see you! Thanks for taking time to listen and to comment, When I read Steve's production notes, I was also blown away. I have never worked to this level of detail. I don't think I have those kind of skills, anyway. It truly is incredible how Steve has used so much to create a cohesive and uncomplicated sounding arrangement that fits the genre perfectly. As with so many things in music (and in Life in general), in the hands of an expert, difficult things look/sound easy. Appreciate that visit. Noel

This piece is excellent in EVERY aspect! The care that went into the production here must have been very time consuming! The results are fantastic! My hat is off to you and Steve for what you ended up with! It's a beautiful tune that is sung perfectly and is an overall very pleasant listen! Thanks, Torrey Hi there Torrey. I'm glad you found time for a visit. Thanks for having a listen and writing some thoughts. The production is all Steve. The only track I had anything to do with, apart from the original demo BIAB file and song idea was the vocal track. As you can see from the above, Steve worked with a gazillion other tracks. Thanks for dropping in. Noel

You fill my heart full of wonder and laughter
And you lift me high with joy
True that. And this song did too. In spite of--and possibly even because of--occasionally having my face peed on, nothing brings me greater joy than our kiddos.
Great work, Gentlemen.

Alan Hi Alan, It's great to see you. I'm glad that you found some time to pop in. And thank you so much for the way too kind words. I'm still smiling. I hope that things are going as well as possible for you and Di. Please pass on a very enthusiastic hello to her from me. All the best, Noel

Thanks again to all of you for all the very kind and generous comments! I'm sorry I have been so slow and infrequent in commenting here. We lost one of our dearest and closest friends for over 30 years 2 weeks ago, and I have been in charge of most of the arrangements for her ceremony, and helping the family. So I have been overwhelmed with all of that.
Noel has been so humble and generous in crediting me with the production of this song. But honestly, to me his writing is the shining light of this song. Every time I read the lyrics, I am struck with how timeless and powerful they are. And he hit a home run with his vocals. With this kind of inspiration, it makes it much easier to produce music. So hats off to Noel!
Thanks again to all of you!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
