Getting Colder is a song about social isolation: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/getting-colderIt can happen to all of us, like with Covid-19, but also because of social or emotional situations. That happened to me some time ago. I remembered what it did in my head. I hestitated bringing this song to the forum because of that, but I want the melody to be judged. It's not only a sad song. If you listen closely, you can hear a Latin touch in the chordprogression. I had 'La Bamba' in mind, but a lot slower. Still it can be heard, provided you know that song. I ued no drums, only a footstomp. This is to give more space to the other instruments and the vocals. I do hope you like it, but don't hesitate to tell me what I did wrong, can do better, or did well, Hans The instruments:The Style is _MANDOWN.STY (Man Down Ev8 Country Mando Solo) RealTracks: 2915:Bas, RealTracks: 1690:Piano, Acoustic RealTracks: 2051:Guitar, Ac, Fingerpicking RealTracks: ~896:Guitar, 12-String ac. RealTracks: 3236:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking RealDrums: FootStomp Reel:16ths SlightSwing The lyrics:Getting colder(c) HWBerkhout It's getting cold now There are no blankets to warm all of me Yes, it's getting colder Nothing around me, here at this place I can see Can't stop the shivering and the chattering of my teeth It was foolish to go to this place Without power and no one to meet When I muse about my reasons I can't remember going anywhere I even can't remember what I've been doing I was just there It is so cold now No branches to use for a fire( I'm f*cked) Maybe I'm older Can't figure out how to retire I'm afraid no one's will come to this place I don't hear no sound And my mobile is out of reach while it's getting too late to go around When I muse about my motivations I can't see a reason why I went It was more or less an obligation No one knows about or understand And if I muse about my situation No messages to friends I send Although I know what will happen now I still can not comprehend, No I don't! solo It's getting colder I'm tired, close my eyes for a while (2x) I'm getting so cold now So very damned cold Oh it's much too cold

Hans,
I really like this.
Good opening. Nice instrumentation throughout.
A solid lyric. I like the melody. Very effective.
A really good vocal. One of your best, I think. Clear and "present".
Excellent job all around. Well done.
(and I like your picture!)

Hello Hans ...
Loved this from the very beginning. Your vocal sounds great! Nice transition from the all-acoustic to the full band! Everything about this is really, really good. Very sad but appropriate fort the time. Enjoyed those unexpected chord changes in places. Excellent work!!!
Best to you. Be safe ...

I'm with Floyd on this. Good song.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd 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.

Hans,
Interesting self examination in the lyric matched by a strong vocal and a good melody.
The solo guitar & later piano/guitar simple arrangement works well.
It could be my `phones but I get some harshness in the vocal - sounds like its overcooked in places- you have a powerful voice!
A minor thought fwiw;I don`t think I`m squeamish about offensive language, I just find its better left out of lyrics- the one word here distracts a little.
Robert

1. Superbly written lyrics that penetrate the heart.
2. Melody: This is one of those songs that the melody fits the melody, as the cliche goes, like a glove. Wonderful!
3. Vocal performance is one of your best: expressive and clear.

fj Hi Floyd, I'm most pleased by your comment / judgement of the song. I had a similair feeling about this song, being one of the better ones. For me this means I grow in the proces of recording and mixing. That took so much time the last years. And the results never were what I wanted them to sound. That was quite a frustrating process. When listening to your songs, they all have that high quality of brightness I want to reach. It still will take time to reach that, but I'm getting warmer... And you know you're the first mentioning a picture accompanying my songs. Like that! So thanks Floyd, Hans

Alan Hello Di and Alan, A very lovely reaction from you! I always like the way you write your findings, especially the compliments ;-) One last thing about the 'unexpected chord changes': because it is a 'heavy' song I thought to add some lighthearted chordprogressions. That was a bit dangerous for the original melody, but I am glad I did it. Thanks for noticing! Hans

Hans,
I liked it a lot — your vocal slays on this one. You can hear the “La Bamba” progression, but your use of it is unique, and had you not mentioned it, I might not have picked it up--nicely done. My only nit is the shift musically into the chorus—e.g., at the 1:15 mark and later in the song—is the transition too dramatic? The song continues to sound great afterward, so wondering if there’s a slightly softer way to move into it that chorus. Dunno—but then again, that may have been your intent and it may work really well for others—so take it for what it’s worth. Outstanding work regardless—with some sweet production touches. Enjoyed it!
Hope all is good with you,
Deej

Hi Hans
Nice instrumentation and melody and a strong vocal. Sounds like the personal circumstances you've drawn on were hard going. Hope that using the memory of those feelings to create the song was cathartic (as it often can be).
Regards,
Leon

Very, very good!
Hi Dave, thanks for my new ratings! I wished more people would feel the same about this dark song, but we have a crowdy forum... I'm with Floyd on this. Good song. Hi Herb, thanks for that! Hans,

Robert Hello Robert, thanks for your well thought comments on the song! And no, it aint your ears that are playing tricks here. Although the vocals also are not overcooked. It had to do with the way I did the mixing. I use two vocaltracks. Adjusted a minor vocal issue in one track with melodyne, but forgot to do the same in the second track. It's a minor thing but I will fix it later. The song brought back bad memories i have to get rid of. still i made the song because many people can have these kind of feelings (and I liked the melody). About that offensive language you mentioned; that was not my intention; when I sing I try to empathize with the subject. The spot in the lyrics where I used that word was where I realized I was in big trouble (according to the situation). And this is what people (could) say when they realize they are in big problems. Sorry if it offended you, but that's why I used it.
1. Superbly written lyrics that penetrate the heart.
2. Melody: This is one of those songs that the melody fits the melody, as the cliche goes, like a glove. Wonderful!

Hope all is good with you,
Deej Hello Deej, thanks for listening so thoroughly and still having such a positive judgement. That 'La Bamba' chord progression was -in a way- meant to be 'hidden'. The purpose was to let a dark song sounds somewhat lighter with a bit of swing. But I admit, it happened by accident when re-composing the song. But I liked it, that's why it came in the final version of the song. And I understand what you say about the transition from verse to chorus. I had a hard time on that one. I tried different things. But the durance of the song played a roll too. I choose the solution (with a pause and push) you are not so satisfied about. If you have another sollution, let me know. I want to learn!
Hi Hans
Nice instrumentation and melody and a strong vocal. Sounds like the personal circumstances you've drawn on were hard going. Hope that using the memory of those feelings to create the song was cathartic (as it often can be).
Regards,
Leon
Hello Leon, a very nice comment on the song you have! But no, the memory was not cathartic, quite the opposite. When I had that hard time it helped writing about it. But singing about it after those years brought the bad things back to me. Why making the song then, one could say? It's what made me and i like the melody a lot. But it's really nice of you to think about it this way. So thanks again everyone for your nice and good comments. All the best, Hans

Wow Hans you really out did yourself on this one. A super vocal that expressed those lyrics fantastically! Excellent job on that. All of that plus a spot on mix. This has everything.
I didn't get cold but it did put a chill up my spine.
Excellent work!

Hi Scott and Mario,
Thanks very much for your comment on the song.
I hope it won't stay my best song/mix, but it's nice to read that a black, chilly song can reach your standards!
Is your spine all right again, Mario?
Have a nice day,
Hans

Just pure-out internal monologue the way everybody experiences it. I guess. I don't know for sure because it's internal. Complete disrespect for genre, it just goes where it's compelled to and remains as long as it needs to. All the while that twisted La Bamba progression lurking like the Declaration of Independence. If you can't tell...I enjoyed this. I'll make a small and rare "mixing" comment. The opening guitar in the left channel is a bit too "loud". I'm not apologizing for that, either.

Hans, you obviously hit a home run with this one because everyone, including me, loves your vocal on this. I'm a little undecided about some of the changes in the song, they are quite drastic, almost separate songs. If I listen more, the musical side of my brain may come to accept it. But despite this, let me repeat that you knocked it out of the park with this one! Congratulations!!

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.
