Hi there, I am a BIAB user from Germany and this is my first post here. It's a christmas song reflecting about feelings of loneliness during Corona lockdown. Hope you like the song and if so, pls also spend me a like or comment on youtube  Thanks a lot https://youtu.be/kSXXoncI3g4All playback instruments and backing vocals come from BIAB. I added some bells, additional drums and pad sounds and, of course, the lead vocal. Looking forward to your comments Edit: Now also on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/uwefischermusic/christmas-without-you-the-analogue-natives-feat-pauline-mykell

This is really good. Very pro sounding.
Excellent use of BIAB. A well-written song. Beautiful vocal.
And a good mix. Nice video, too. The sax at the end was a nice touch...

Yes, this is beautiful in spite of the sadness. It gives a wonderful sense of hope. Love it. So well done and such a good write. Really cool use of the BGVs BiaB offers.

oops, the reply button does not do what I expected. I guess I have to use the quote button to have my reply attached to the original comment?

Welcome to the Showcase.
fj Thanks a lot for listening and your praise, am very happy you like it. Good that you mentioned the sax...it is also from BIAB, of course, and originally I had a sax intro and solo in the middle which I later replaced with the bell melody to provide a little bit more of a Christmas vibe. But in the coda it fits perfectly.

Indeed. I agree. Nicely done. Smooth vocal.
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.
