I wrote this a couple of years back. A few months after it was recorded, there was a call by a local station CKCU for people to submit "Tree Songs" as part of a 'save the protected forest from development' in Ottawa. So it got some play. I also tend to support local 'landtrust' efforts which is where the video was taken. The original message of the song was not about environmental action.

feedback appreciated

Chad, this is really enjoyable! Nice song, cool performance and beautiful video. Especially enjoyed hearing/seeing your daughter. She looks like a future star! Hope we can preserve as much of the natural beauty as we can for her and future generations...

This is really nice! Great production, full of emotion.

The harmonica solo was adorable.

Love it, Chad. What a cool song, and I am with ya on tree-huggin'. Excellent harmony and I really like your daughters "ears." Good sounds, you two. The video was really cool too. The mix is superb, but every once in a while I hear some strang anomaly. The first one is at 0:14. You sing "sings" and then there's a click like a twig snapping. Again there's something as they "fall one by one to the ground." There's another bit at 1:28. But the song is so good none of that really matters. Good write.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks much Ron, David, & Marty!
Appreciate all feedback.
The little superstar did great haha. She has accompanied on open stages too. I play the G-harp and she will play the High-G harp or percussion.
The strange anomaly (I forgot to point out) is indeed twigs snapn. I mixed in a part of the video's audio where you can hear a voice and some walking.
Best,
Chad

Cool in so many aspects.

And how timely as just this we week we discovered a 250-300 year old willow oak. The largest we've ever seen.

The write is great, the vocals are fine, the mix is good and the harmonica solo was worth the price of admission!
What a treasure you have playing music with here.

Enjoyed it ... a lot

Hi, Chad.

As soon as I heard the crack of people walking on branches, I remembered complaining about it before. wink

Other than that, same as before: cool song.

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

Thanks J & B and Dave,
yes, the best part was playing the harp with her! She is not shy at all about playing music... Did some percussion and harp at a festival open stage here (Blueskies). Yes ,seeing the old trees in a forest is magical--even the sound in the forest is different around such trees.

Dave, i was not sure if i had posted this earlier but on my search, i could not find it so assumed I had not. searching again now, I did find by searching all of my posts..oops

Chad, what a fantastic song.
I agree about saving forests.
Great vocal and mix.
Super video.
PS - I think you have a future superstar next to you playing the harmonica.

Absolutely gorgeous footage in your video.

I enjoyed the song too. And that harmonica solo/duet was a highlight.
