Thanks for any listens, views, and comments. I appreciate it very much.
Saint Brigid's Day is the first day of February and it is the traditional start of spring in Ireland. I loved that concept so I wrote a song about it.
Here are the particulars:
-SL16UNP, STY Folk Pop Ballad Key D 85 bpm 1596: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming POP 16ths Ev 16 1595: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop 8ths Steady 1601: Mandolin, Rhythem Pop 16 Melodic
I recorded the vocals into Mixcraft 5, using my SP1 mic, via the Cl1 interface.
Here is a glossary of terms used in the lyrics:
Róisín - (pronounced Row-sheen) is a common female name in Ireland. It means "little rose".
rose - while not the national flower (the shamrock is, or course), the rose has a special place in the hearts of the Irish. W. B. Yeats used the rose to symbolize Ireland in several of his poems.
ewe - a female sheep.
yean - (of a sheep or goat) give birth to (a lamb or kid).
puffin - The puffin is a bird, similar to the penguin, that returns to Ireland each spring.
Saint Brigid's Day (Hurry Home Róisín)
Hurry home Róisín Ere a rose is seen You promised we would marry in the spring
Hurry home Róisín Soon the ewes will yean You swore to me you would wear my ring
I know New York City Is very far away I pray you'll be with me On Saint Brigid's Day
Hurry home Róisín Before puffins preen I miss you and all the joy you bring
I know New York City Is very far away I pray you'll be with me On Saint Brigid's Day
Hurry home Róisín Ere a rose is seen You promised we would marry in the spring
It's a very sweet song, loaded with Irishness and longing. The vocal is nice but seems dislocated from the backing - the different rooms problem. Excellent lyric , melody & band.

I just love Irish music. I was listening to a group of teens doing Adele's music in Gaelic the other day. Lots of history and traditions to inspire such beautiful songs. Super vocal and lyric.
This song production of your's, 'Saint Brigid's Day (Hurry Home Róisín)', is as lovely to listen to with your ears as a fine spring morning is to observe with the eyes. The delicate performances of the Real Track instrumentalists made me feel as though they had beheld a vision of young Miss Róisín that was as enchanted as your own. A sense of a kind of love that is innocent and pure rises out of your lyrics like a mist. The details you provided about the uniquely Irish conception of the story lends an air of cultural authenticity to the production that makes it feel and sound like the 'classic' song that 'Tunemonger' described in his comments.
It's a finely-felty musical creation and performance, sir! I hope it finds an audience outside of the User's Forum.

Hello Sean Very good mix Your background track is very well suited by its few instruments to put your great vocals in the foreground Really well done Sean Many greetings Andi ;-)
jptjptjpt, (Trying to pronounce it...is it a spell of some kind?)
Nice romantic tune. Clean, straight forward arrangement and very good vocals. I do believe you can make it (vocals) sit better in the mix. A little brighter, maybe adjusting EQ higher frequencies to make it stand out more and for clarity. I am just speaking from my mind, but there are people here who have much better ears and would know what to do better. In any case, this is well shaped and perfomed song. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely song and a rich vocal! While listening first to the song I (Janice) was saying, "go home, Rosheen!" and then when we watched the video I was delighted to see that she did go home.
Your band is excellent and the mix is equally so. We both liked the somewhat Victorian feel of the lyric.
