This is a sweet song. I love your vocals. The lyrics are prefect for the style of music. You used a very time honored tradition of using older songs as a foundation for newer works. Bob Dylan does it all the time. I really enjoyed this a lot.

Lovely. smile

Keeping almost lost melodies alive - well done and thanks.


Thanks Ray. I'll pay attention to the sibilants next time smile

Hi RnAm,

It's a great composition. The lyrics well written with a superb guitar and a sober orchestral ensemble which highlights the pretty vocals. The video adds a plus. The whole gives a very pleasant result. I appreciated.

This is beautiful in every way!

Your vocal is so lovely and then when Rob comes in your harmonies just take it over the top.

The video really conveyed the magic of the lyric, especially the last couple. smile

Excellent band and mix.

Enjoyed it!

A gentle and lovely vocal that pairs nicely with the music. Third verse harmony fits like a glove.

Thanks TuneMonger. I've done more like this, I've sent you a PM.

And not only that, you made it sound like a song from now. Beautiful voice (but be careful on the reverb!)and lovely harmony in the third verse.

I enjoyed your performance very much, or: ik heb echt van jullie uitvoering van dit lied genoten!
Ben ook blij weer eens Nederlanders in het forum te zien (= als glad to meet Dutchies in the forum),

Hans


Bedankt Hans. Inderdaad leuk dat er weer meer Nederlanders hier zijn. Is al een tijdje geleden.

I know we have a few ladies participating here but, as far as I can tell, the majority of songs are from men.
The choice of music coupled with the female vocal just makes this more delicate and touching than what the men usually produce.
The video is also perfectly done.
Excellent!
moto


Thanks Moto, for all these compliments! And as Rob has been very busy for some time, you'll hear more of me!

This is wonderfully done. What a lovely vocal—it sits so prettily in the mix. And what engaging harmonies in that third verse. Just so sweet on the ear. Wonderful!

Kindest regards,

Ron n Anne-Marie, this is so well done. Very creative and gifted. Great video, and such a wonderful voice. Had to listen a couple times --one for the eyes and another to close them.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Anne-Marie & Rob,

Wonderful interpretation of old time composition. Very good vocals and mix. Listens very well. Enjoyed it. My wife liked it too. She is very picky with her taste in music, I trust her judgement smile Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Mark. It would be a pity if early music would never be heard again.

The RealTracks you employed in service to the melody (beautifully expressed in the ecstatic lyrics) resulted in the creation of a piece that was saturated with an air of gentleness and innocence. I agree entirely with 'Captain Moto'(s) comment about the production.

Any form of music that invites listeners to dance together in a mutually agreeable social setting, to touch each other while moving their bodies in graceful patterns over the floor, is music that serves to heighten the experience of living, and that is something to celebrate!

Thank you for contributing such a stress-abolishing, worry-erasing song to the User's Forum smile

Thanks Bluage for all these compliments!

Very beautiful modernization of an old song still dignifying the original dance. I listened to the original music, and only thing I missed from it was the flute. Enjoyed the vocals. Nice lyrics and video.
