Ezekiel,
Love that Bowie vocal sound you have going on. The chorus, the first line in particular, strikes me as a bit hot—I would have liked it a bit warmer—but then I’m just listening over the lapto, so it may be just me (and scrolling down, no one else mentioned, so disregard accordingly). The lyric and whole feel of this is very cool—great write. Enjoyed this a ton!
Best regards,
Deej

Hi Ezekiel.
I don't have Nectar 3 so can't advise you there. As we age we tend to lose a lot of our high frequency hearing so when to cut is a bit of a guessing game.
Look at cutting a few db at somewhere between 2000hz to 6000hz on the vocal first. Hard to tell without trying it.

Hi Scott, that's a super-cool tune. Very experimental and creative; I wouldnÄt have even noticed that there were no rhymes (must consider if that might be an alternative to squeezing out RhymeZone  ). And I must say that your vocal is simply outstanding with this song. Very, very, very good. All the best, Stefan Stefan, thanks for the listen, but I am even more pleased that you're back. Really nicely done!! Such a nice poetic lyric and the perfect band to carry the reflective mood....banjo works really well in this! GREAT stuff, my fave of yours!! Take care. Greg Thanks so much, Greg. I appreciate it. thanks

Thanks, Deej. I find all the Bowie references funny since he was not one of my major influences in my youth, although I do like his music. Hi Ezekiel.

Vic Vic, thanks for the tip. I did some EQ adjustments (though I can't tell the difference) and have replaced my track on SC. My hearing loss is more than just age. It's also firearms, powertools, being in a rock band, and just general stupidity on my part.

It does sound less harsh now. A tenor's voice occupies 130hz to 1300hz range so basically,
anything either side of it can be rolled off. (That is the basic idea) Other than that it does sound better.

I would spend no time diddling around with your vocal. It sounds GREAT.
You could alway put a high end shelf on it using Nectar's EQ but to us it sounds expressive and soulful.
"I can turn a phrase
But I can’t turn around
To find my way back to her"
That is an excellent line that really sticks with you.
Rhymes? Hey, Janice has never understood the need to sacrifice what you want to say for want of a rhyme. Phrasing and soul conquer all.
The band is a showcase on the showcase forum for how to put together and mix an all BiaB band.
Simply outstanding.

Hi Scott
I like this one a lot. Great vocal as usual and the banjo works a treat. And as everyone else has said, poetry doesn't have to rhyme.
Regards,
Leon

Hello Ezekiel,
What fooling around with D and Em7 can bring you to...
You made a very nice song, not only because the other menbers in this forum told you so, but because it really is.
Everything fits in the band, even the pedal steel.
And your vocals are just great!
I am also a bit relieved you struggle with the eq settings as well to get rid of the sibilance. Although I didn't hear them in your song.
The multiple voices you create with Nectar 3 are done very nicely. I don't use it anymore, because I found it too complicated to get the right sound.
Have a nice day,
Hans

Beautiful.
The BAND is stunning! Great combination of RTs to create a gorgeous musical field. Great work.
Nice lyric. The lack of rhymes isn't really even noticed. The melody and the way you sing the lyric "makes it work". Well sung. And good harmonies. The melody moves in unexpected ways that sit on the ear nicely.
I very much enjoyed the listen.
fj Hi Scott.  When I read floyd's comments, he left me nodding in agreement with every single thing he said. This such easy listening and it's presented with a stunning band. What a really beautiful song (lyrics, melody, performance and production)! At the end of my journey, I sat here staring at my computer screen thinking, "What a wonderful, lovely musical journey." All the best, Noel

fj I agree!! The band is perfect.......love that pedal steel, and the percussive sound of the banjo/drum contrasting with the floating sound of the other instruments is awesome!! LOVE the lyric too!! Probably my fave of yours!! Take care. Greg

This is a great one. Nice lyrics and melody. Your voice is a lot like Neil Diamond. It all fits nicely.
