Thanks! Maybe I'll put out an album of mellow tunes called "Background Music for Internet Browsing". crazy

With your help I'm learning different synth voices. When you suggested Eleanor Forte, I was with you, and I'm with you on using Natalie.

I didn't really do that much with the voice. I mostly just picked notes and words that I thought she sung nicely. The voice has a lot of character, which obviously lends itself to some songs and not others. But I think it's one of the better voices available.

Man, you got me with the title.

It's probably the only original bit in the entire song. Mind you, there's nothing particularly bad about being somewhat derivative - it's part of the human condition, and songwriting is about writing to that shared experience.

Quote:
The song is so lilting and aurally pleasing that I'd never notice there is no rhyme scheme and still don't. As far as song structure, this song is better without it --afterall it is Forever July.

It's not totally without rhyme, but I think it's not as obvious as it could be.

I also tried for some inner rhymes, like with:

      Lost and tossed on stormy seas

But I think it's probably a bit stilted and unnatural, so I'm really tempted to rewrite it because of that.

Thanks for listening and the positive feedback - I appreciate it! smile

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