Sounds great! I'll echo what floyd jane noted - the word "Presidential" has connotations that don't match the sunny disposition of the lyric. Stop warming the bench and you'll
Unlock your potential  That aside - great vocal, positive lyric, upbeat production!  Hi David. It's excellent to see you  I totally understand what you mean with "Presidential." As I said to floyd, here in Australia while the impact of what happens in the USA is still felt, we're a bit distanced from the political happenings. We have a prime minister and not a president as the leader of our country. Since we were originally a British colony and Australia has never fully separated from Britain, the ultimate "man at the top" of Australia's political system is King Charles. "President" doesn't have so many connotations surround it down here. By the way, I love that "bench and you'll"/potential rhyme! I'm very impressed. They're the type of rhymes that I rarely come across. I think my brain's processing is a bit too linear to think of them. Thanks for the visit and all the best, --Noel

Noel,
the hard panned and time slipped strategy worked but it often go awry. I think the reason this works so well is the strength of the voice & solo in the centre.
I agree with other folk - ace to HEAR YOU again. You do fab work with the synth vox but yours is a unique instrument that works well. Hi Ray. Thanks for dropping in. I hope that everything is going well for you up north I rarely use doubled tracks these days as I prefer to generate two individual versions of the same Realtrack and pan those. In this instance, I was just looking for a thickening of sound. Thanks for the support of my singing, too. Much appreciated. May good things come your way! --Noel

Noel, I agree that this is a perfect song for a Broadway musical.
Great vocal, backing tracks, and mix.
Loved those lyrics.
I hope you will post more often. Howdy, Mario. You are always a welcome sight in a thread Thanks for taking the time to drop by. I appreciate your thoughts and positive feedback. I would have loved to have been a Broadway composer. At least with Band In A Box, I can pretend to be one and that's worth it's weight in gold All the very best and I hope that New York is being kind to you! --Noel

Noel,
I know I wrote a more elaborate reply to this earlier.
I most have hit the wrong button or something.
Anyway, always nice to see you. I thought this was beautiful from start to finish. Your voice sounds great.
Happy Holidays. Hi David. Thanks. It's always excellent to see a comment from you. If it's any consolation, I also loose comments from time to time I appreciate your positive feedback. All the very best to you and family for Christmas and New Year! --Noel

Hi Noel,
It's very nice indeed to hear you again, after a long time.
I once said to you (or more than once) your vocals reminds me of Robin Gibb from the BeeGees.
And when I listened to your beautiful song with that optimistic message, it was there again! Robin.
That's also why I enjoy listening to your songs.
As I said, a beautiful song and lyrics, Noel!
Hans Hi Hans. Thank you for passing through the thread. It's always good to see you. I don't know how I manage to have the "Robin Gibb" twist to my vocals but thanks for mentioning it. I'll take it And thanks for the positive feedback about my song and lyrics. I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and New Year. --Noel

Classic uplifting Noel song, I should wire up a system to play this song when I look at the mirror cabinet in the morning Catchy melody. Very interesting chord changes in the B section, I like how the melody go upwards from the crumbled and broken. The band is very pleasant pop orchestra, but the best part is of course to hear your real voice for a long time. Janne Hei Janne. Thanks for dropping in. Much appreciated. And thanks for the comments about the song. I'm glad you noticed what I did in the B section. I wanted "crumpled and broken" to be the musical equivalent of "down and out" and then the music to gradually rise up from there (just as in "rise and shine"). I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas and beyond --Noel

I'm still the (more or less) new guy on the forum, and this is the first time I've heard your voice... and I like it.
Good song with a very positive message, it has the same positive effect as Marty's songs have on me.
Good job! Hi BD. It's good to see you. Thanks for the positive feedback about my singing. BIAB has helped me get better over the years (although I still don't see myself as a singer). Thanks, too, for comparing me to Marty. That's pretty high praise I wish you and yours a brilliant Christmas and New Year! --Noel

Noel,
It perfectly recreates the atmosphere of American oldies.
The key changes in the chorus are well thought out and very effective.
Synth V's vocals are good, but I'm also looking forward to hearing your vocals.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hello Shigeki Adachi It's always brilliant to see you. The American-oldies kind of sound is my specialty. I love Tin Pan Alley songs. It's definitely the style where I feel most comfortable. Surprisingly, the melody of my B-section started on the 7th of Gm7 which meant that the note following the F needed to be either E or Eb (since the dissonance of a 7th is nearly always best resolved by dropping down a tone or semitone). And it was because of that requirement that the middle section took shape and began to "rise" musically! And thanks for saying good things about my voice. That's all because BIAB has helped me become a better singer over the years. All the very best to you and your family and I hope that you have a really pleasant and relaxing entry into 2024! Kind regards, --Noel
