I wanted to thank the BIAB community for your feedback on the development of the song More of Me. I originally posted this song about a year ago here and got a lot of encouragement, support and feedback which was really helpful.

At the risk of self promotion I wanted to share with all of you that I finally released the song this week.

This song isn't perfect but, thanks to this forum & BIAB, it may be the best one i have done. It is also getting some exposure and was recently selected by a music library and will be featured on the Women of Substance national podcast, the Sister's in Music radio show and featured on NVIDIA and LyricStudio's web sites.

This is the placement by TuneCore on Youtube


Here is the link to the More of Me music video which i think tells the lyric story well and the release on Spotify

This is a great community -- i am glad to both learn and share here and wanted to say thanks.

Bob

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

Hello Bob
"The song is not perfect" - That was the best joke here in the forum
The song is so awesome
So for me it does not get any better
Hopefully the song gets the success it deserves
Bravo Bob !!!
How much BiaB is still in this song ?
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

In photography I like to get the image with corner-to-corner sharpness. That's how I'd describe this beauty, Bob. It is corner-to-corner perfect in all aspects. Great write, outstanding recording and a corner-to-corner mix.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks everyone this is all BIAB I created the piano melody myself and then added the _WESTPNO.sty with:
Bass=2474
Guitar 1=365 Acoustic Fingerpicking
Guitar 2=2916 Acoustic Rhythm
I also added style _ARDENT.sty to the bridge to change it slightly.
