jptjptjpt & Loren,

Nice collaboration!
The atmosphere of reggae is transmitted straight.
Both of the lyrics and the melody have a lot of reggae feel.
Loren's vocals are very cool.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Loren and jpt,

This is a very engaging listen!

Loren I always enjoy your vocals. They sit very comfortably on my ears. Your treatment of jpt's lyrics is excellent. The bridge followed by the piccolo/flute especially appealed to me.

You've both done a really fine job.

Regards,
Noel

As mentioned your warm soulful vocal is perfecto for this genre.

genre ballpark.

Upbeat and fun. Two words yep. But they mean a LOT.

Great collab you two...oh, forgot to mention. Nice mix!

Hello Gentlemen ...

Janice and Bud said most of what I was thinking as I listen. Loved that flute sol! This shines from many perspectives. Kudos to both fo you for a great song and production! This is a really "neat" song.

Wishing you both the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Collaboration between bluage (75%) and me (25%)



You are of course fee to do as you wish, however, in the vast majority of the industry, it is common practice to divide the collab equally between all the writers. It just makes for a more harmonious relationship.

I tell all my collaborators up front that everything is an equal split. It doesn't matter if I wrote 95% of it.... if I ask someone to help me because I can't seem to get the last few lines worked out, and they come in and suggest something that really works well and finishes the song.... I don't say they get 5%, I say they get 50% of the song between 2 writers. I have worked this way for a very long time. With most songs being a 2 or 3 way collab the math just makes sense.

Just my 2 cents on this whole issue of credits split.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

First things first: Loren, I do love your warm voice !!!!
A very cool arrangement with absolutely no frills - just great. Very nice lyrics, of course, too.

A most beautiful love song.

All the best,

Stefan


Totally agree with Stefan! Like the little bridge part leading into the solo! Thanks, Torrey

Howdy, 'Guitarhacker' ...

Yup, I agree with you all the way. I told Sean the same thing, but I think his obviously more-than-generous heart compelled him to tilt the imaginary scales in my favor smile. Regardless, if anybody wanted to pay us for the song, I'd do the 50-50 thing, too, and then leave Sean a big 'ol tip for writing such excellent lyrics laugh !!!

Nice to hear from you, sir.

Truly,

LOREN + SEAN (Now, where did that guy go ???)

Hello Alan & Ms. Di...

I think I went through four solo instruments before I chose the flute, but, obviously, it was the brightest-sounding instrument and therefore was perfect for maintaining a 'happy' sound in a song that treats the subject of romantically-provoked suicide with such a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.

Thank you and Ms. Di for being our listeners smile !!!

I hope you and Ms. Di will continue to keep that protective bubble around you as we weather this coronavirus 'storm'.

Most sincerely,

LOREN + SEAN (in spirit, for him, that is laugh. )

Mr. Torrey Bliss...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, haven't I heard a reggae-flavored song from you on the forum in the past?

Any old way, it's nice to read that you liked "...the little bridge part leading into the solo!" Because of Sean's lyrics for the bridge/chorus, I think it was the most emotionally powerful part of the song.

I wish you well, sir, and thanks for listening to a song that's kind'a deep in the forum list!!!

Sincerely,

LOREN + SEAN (Oh! There he is...jes' kiddin' laugh. )

Clean and tight production, Loren. I am assuming you put the lyrics to music too. Melody suits the lyrics nicely!

Sweet lyrics, Sean. Clever verses.

I, too, love that flute solo.

Sean,
I wanted to congratulate you on finding a very fit partner for this tune! Loren done a fantastic job! Very rooty stuff with Latin twist. Sounds very authentic. In my opinion, this was a very successful collaboration. Thank you for sharing!

P.S. I wanted to comment on this in March, but things got a bit hectic. I am glad it was bumped and I had a chance to listen and give feedback.

Misha.
