Welcome to the forum!!! Really pretty song!! You have a really nice quality in your voice! The melody is very pleasant! Good arrangement and mix (bass could probably come up a bit). Nice!! Take care. Greg

T Mark,
Just an outstanding first attempt! I liked everything about it. Wonderful harmonies, band sounds great, good mix.
My first attempt wasn't close to this.
Good job,
Greg

Hi Greg (Achordocaster), I think I just hit lucky on finding a 'band' that was suitable for the song I had. The choices and menus can be quite daunting can't they! Still, can't complain of having too much choice.

A BIG welcome from me! Especially bringing that level of writing and production.
You really know how to put a song together! Maybe new to the forums, but definitely not new to songwriting.
Really enjoying the song! I'm excited to hear more from you :-)

Hi Mark,
Welcome to this forum. Hope we hear a lot more from you in the near future. This is a very nice song you made! I really enjoyed it. The melody is very nice. As nearly everyone mentioned here your vocals and the harmonies are very well! You made good use of BiaB, especially with the strings. At some moments I think the band is a bit too soft (volume) for the vocals. Mostly in the first part of your song and certainly not the whole time. It could be I'm the only one telling this. That doesn't mean I'm talking rubbish, it means the others don't dare to say ;-)
Bye, Hans

Hi Birchwood, thank you so much for giving this song a listen and taking the time to comment. I think you're probably right about the balance between band and vocals in the first half. I think I was trying to 'build' the song by keeping the 'dirty guitar' and drums lower - perhaps I should have lowered vocals too

Well no, not lowering your voice! Put a bit of volume to certain instruments!

This is a very good showing. You've got a solid handle on the instrumentation, the mixing, the dynamics, melody and harmony. All the pieces are in place, and it really moves along nicely, and is a very pleasant listen. Vocals fit the song quite well. Excellent use of BIAB too. I hope you will continue to post more songs here so we can see what else you have up your sleeve .

Thank you EdZ314 for taking the time to listen and comment thoughtfully on my song. Much appreciated. I don't normally write this type of music, but was pleasantly surprises to find a BIAB accompaniment that worked well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOy82hjOVkn_lYHmlPjV2_g

Bramley Studio,
First off, very impressive first effort--and welcome to the forum. Terrific song and great mix for your first time out. Agree your vocals are very reminiscent of Al Stewart, though maybe with a little more of an 80s lean. Like the female backing vocals toward the end of the song—nice touch. Good stuff—I’ll look forward to hearing more from you.
Kind regards
Deej

Clearly a big effort went into this production, and the outcome is that you have really delivered the goods!
This is so well written and put together.
A great recipe for good music.
