The band is good and tight, and the mix is perfect. Your vocal is always my favorite part. Not a fan of the 8th-note bass. however; it seems to take away from the dynamics in the changes.


And now my reaction to some of the remarks you made. I agree that it would be something if you could remember when you start walking or talking. But that was not what I meant. It was meant metaphorical, learning how society wants you to behave. I could have writen this more clearly, but I hoped this was clear enough. Apparently not...

The other remarks I can only love, but about the bass I thought it would have blown you away ( in a positive way).
Now I wonder how I could have done that differently without loosing that mood in the song.

But whatever,
A very nice and musicall 2022!
Hans


Yes, I got the metaphor and it threw me into a what-if (followed closely be a why-not). Silly thought-experiments play in my mind all the time and I let them. Now about the bass, please keep in mind how many comments said they really like it. They far outweigh my slant. It DOES drive the song and the mood.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hello Floyd, TuneMonger Ember and Andi,

To all of you a very good 2022 in all respects, especially musically!
It was very nice reading your posts on the song, where I thought all of you were celebrating a Christmas holiday.
But I forgot writing posts is some kind of cebrating holidays...

The BAND sounds good. LOVE the bass sound - and the way it carries the production.
Good arrangement. good mix. cool ending.
VERY much enjoyed!!

Floyd, those exclamation marks at the end of your very nice compliments made me happy. Thanks for that!
It was a great relief there was no mentioning of 'hot' vocals...

Nice work!


TuneMonger, when working on this song, by accident I heard that sound I used in the bridge alone. I loved it too!
And it gave me some pleasure you had to look up that word. Funny was that one of my sons, who speaks English also very well, asked me some days ago about the meaning of that word too. So I told him even native speakers had to look it up...
I loved your compliments but hope my best song is still to come!

Ember, thanks for your very kind words on the lyrics and composition. As I wrote it had something to do with a meeting I had with someone I had last seen for 35 years. She only remembered me and my guitar, but not much else. That brought me to these lyrics.

Many greetings

Andi, very, very kind of you to write it this way. A buch of compliments from beginning to end! Thanks for that!

So, thanks again everyone and stay safe,
Hans

Interesting lyrics, there are certainly couple of days that teach us more than normal days or people around us.
Enjoyed the mostly minor chord progression.
Clever selection of guitars, the baritone, the solo guitar and especially RT3724. Good use of effects and mixing of the solo guitar.
Very nicely flowing arrangement with instruments coming in and out.
Pleasantly dynamic vocals from soft to harder edge.
Overall, very good bluesy pop song to start another year. Have a creative year 2022!

Hello, 'Birchwood'...

Regardless of how biographical (or not) the story behind the song is, 'That Day' was a momentous one as communicated through your introspective lyrics. They frame your song in a way not unlike a window that admits only a view of part of the vast, troubled sky beyond it, so that our ears, like our vision, are compelled to focus on the drama that is so urgently described within its boundaries.

Put another way, the lyrics are like a lens that magnifies the feel of the apparently fateful experience that you had on 'that day'. It's as though you were sharing a dark secret with us. Powerful, intimately rendered wordcraft, indeed!

Your Real Tracks and Real Drums elections have an easy, folk-rock feel to them that provide an interesting musical contrast to the somber, wounded tone of the lyrics. The choral/vocal harmonies raised the emotional temperature of the song to a thrilling degree.

All-in-all, I believe I just listened to a very skillfully composed song.

Hello Ray, Scott, Ezekiel and Dave,

Thanks for your kind comments on the song and a very nice 2022!
I saw you added your contributes for this New Year on the forum.
I want to listen to them all, but give me some time... It's busy overhere.

HANDS DOWN one of your best vocal performances Hans.
I di think the lead guitar at the beginning was a little brittle/crisp but it was gone soon enough.
The slightly off centre lead solo was better though oddly off the middle but, again, it came and went so no biggie.


Wow, Ray, this is a huge compliment from you. I think I never received one of these ever before from you!
On the other hand, it hurts me a little you called it on of my best performances. I loved some of my earlier songs a bit more.
But I also saw it as a compliment on my mixing and mastering. That has improved I think. Don't know if it stays that way...

Originally Posted By: Scott C

Scott, that little break... A lot of you mentioned it. And as I wrote to some, I liked how it worked out at last. In the beginning i had some issues with it's sound. But thanks a lot!

I particularly like the piano track you used.


Ezekiel, very nice of you to say. And that piano track was indeed a very nice one here.

Seriously though, a very good song! I really like the concept of growing and learning along the way.
Love the change at 2:20, also the way you ended the song, nicely done.
Excellent vocal, lots of passion.
Good song to end off the year I think.


Dave, I think you are right. I have a great memory. I know my first word as well (I think I was twelve).
Nice you liked the song and the little bridge. But keep in mind the song finally deals with forgetting. Now I only remember yesterday. Oh! And today when listening to your beautiful Wheels of Fortune. You have a very good voice!

Have a nice day everyone,
Hans

Late to the party, but not too late to enjoy the song!

I agree with the others - solid tune with a driving bass. Coo; (and unexpected) bridge.

Cool harmony.

Happy (Belated) New Year!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Peter, Mario and Al,

Peter, thanks for your nice comment. I hope to continue collecting your kind of comments ;-)

Super vocal.
Loved that bass! Great chops!
Mixed like a pro.


Mario, when reading that first line I thought now the memory thing comes, but not ;-)
Thanks for your so nice compliments on the whole range of the song. I hope I can keep that level!

Alan


Alan, I think I win with being late. I have a lot of excuses of course, but still it is not nice of me. But all the best for you and Di this year. I think you need it, as I read how ill you both were in december...
And it is very nice of you to give me this very nice compliment on the range of the making of this song. As I wrote to Mario, I hope I can continuate that level. You are the one telling me...

So I wish you all at least a very nice weekend within the nice new year (can you follow me?)
Hans

Hi Marty (again), Janne, Ghostgum, Bluage, David and Misha,

Thanks for your nice posts. They were all very nice to read.

Marty, I didn't copy your last post, but I was curious what other bass I could have used. And because you are the master on the bass you have to tell it me onde day. I read about your bucketlist, so there comes a nice time to tell me...

Janne, that was a very nice post you wrote. There is much to say about 'that day' for all of us. For me the thing I learned was that you have to do it all by yourself. I hoped there would have been a preceptor, but I had to create that too.
But the nice, or sad part is when you start forgetting it all until only a few memories are left. This is not the case (yet) with me, but when I met that person I saw that.
And thanks for the nice things you said on the instrumental parts.

Ghostgum, it came by accident, that transition, as you called it, but I liked it instantly. At first I wanted to give it more bars, but i think that would have been a bad idea. Thanks!

Bluage, what a nice way of telling me your feelings about the song and lyrics! Very clever! Although partially not what I meant to say. There was no real dark secret. There was a sad / ironic situation (first you had to learn a lot and then all got lost because of a type of amnesia). But how you thought of it is very nice and in a way beautiful. Thanks for that!

David, I think I am late too with answering your post! And 'that bridge' was mentioned by nearly all. So it was a success, although not intentionally at first.

Misha, thanks for your nice comment. I am not sure if I conquered the mixing process on the vocals, but in this song it went well.
there is always that eq problems in a certain range, also because my tinitus lives there...

Have a very nice day everyone,
Hans
