Guess who's back, haha ...

New track :-) hope you like! These days, I'm working on recording some instrumental music (from home, due to Covid-19) for some friends of mine (some of whom were college buddies of mine ages ago ... so I have to get the darn recordings right ...), preparing for some exams, etc. etc. etc. ... hence not much time to write - and, when I do write, I have no idea if it's any good or not any more. Hence my absence from this forum, of late. But enough semi-gratuitous whining from me ... here's the song, such as it is! :-)

https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/in-the-morning


IN THE MORNING

In the morning, when the sun shines,
In the morning, when I open my eyes
In the morning, at noon and in the evening, my light,
I shall love you until I say good night.

All day long, I shall be singing - if right or wrong,
All night long, we shall dance to this song.
All year long, our children - if right or wrong,
They will learn to let their heart beat with the pulse of this song.

Glory Glory, Hallelujah,
Glory Glory, ever true,
Glory Glory; since I knew ya,
Glory Glory, I loved you.

[CHORUS]

Until the time comes for me to go
I will forever love you so,
Until the time is up for me,
I will love you with all my being.

[CHORUS]

I like the reggae feel.... I think what you have here is a really solid start to a great song. Currently, a diamond in the rough. It needs some refining and polishing and it can really shine.


It really needs a singer vs a spoken lyric. The "bom bom bom" part could be a solo.... I'd personally recommend that you ask here in the songwriter forum to see if anyone is interested in singing this for you and maybe even helping to work on it a bit. This might be a cool tune to collaborate on with someone. Shorten it up a bit, get a really hooky melody, and this would be a really fun song.

Of course, this is only my 2 cents worth of opinion.

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.

Yep! I agree with the "not the finished article" thought. Especially the sung part, yes, that could be a solo - I was going to put a piccolo to play that section, high above the rest, but ... I've had the longest day in the world and, in short, I was too lazy to spend an extra while in creating the piccolo part, mixing it, etc. etc. . See what happens if one is lazy? Other musicians notice ...

I'm out of practice in writing, etc., but that's how one gets back INTO practice ... by writing, no other way. So thanks for listening and for your perceptive comments!!! I'm not sure how much time I have to dedicate to writing and polishing songs of late, so I'm not sure if it'd be fair to ask someone else if they'd be interesting in working with me on this ... but, if my schedule frees up a little, why not? :-) Again, thanks!

Nice tracks, James. The write works.

Mic technique is a bit boom-y. And at 5:30, it seems a bit longer than it needs to be.

Always good to see you around.

You're way too kind - I don't think you've missed a single one of my songs since I've been on this forum. Way too kind. Thank you.
