Remember Me

When the birds fly south for the winter
there's no map, no compass stone to guide them home
But there's a voice they hear through the darkest night
calling out, showing them the way deep inside them

   Remember me, remember
   Remember me
   I know that you hear the winds blow
   The calling of the sea

And so you sail uncharted waters
where the sea is so deep like the endless sky
From morning light, to fall of night, chase the horizon
like some far off beach just beyond your reach
begging for you to find them

   Remember me, remember
   Remember me
   I know that you've got to go so far away from me

If you need someone to guide you, let me light the way
You'll see me shining like a beacon in the night

   Just remember you are loved
   You're not alone
   When you find me in your heart, you'll be home

Blah Blah Blah

Short version: All comments are welcome! smile

I bought a new SynthesizerV voice, so that meant I needed to write a new song using it.

As usual, I started out with a BiaB demo (this time around, _PHASE) and fiddled with the chord progression. I had a friend who mentioned that I didn't use bridges in many of my songs, so I made sure to include one this time. I because well acquainted with the [b]Song Form[/i] feature in BiaB by the time the song was worked out.

Per my usual process, I put together a backing track in BiaB, and them imported it into SynthesizerV to work out the melody.

I started writing this with an entirely different subject, but it proved too hard a nut to crack. So I took some of the more lines and built it out from there. The basic idea was one of finding "home" no matter where you go, but it turned into a more general ideal of being pulled by different calls - the call of nature, of adventure, or of a waiting lover. I suspect that idea is a bit muddled in some places. But I was so relieved to get something written that I decided not to do a major rewrite.

I thought I'd keep the harmony basic, so I decided to use Saros. He's got a very theatric voice, and is a good contrast to the lead. As usual, I went overboard with the "backgound" vocal. wink

I really liked the sound of the arrangement "out of the box", but figured it needed something to give it some change. So I played the Native Instrument Picked Acoustic using the one-finger auto-chord function, and copied that over to *another* instance of Picked Acoustic with a different pattern. That added a strummed and fingerpicked guitar.

I played the piano part with the Alicia's Keys piano, a recent purchase that I felt I needed to justify by using at some point..

And since I'd also recently bought the Audio Imperia Solo instrument library, I decided to use it for the solo instruments.

Then I balanced everything out, so everything wasn't playing at one time. It still seemed to be missing something, so I added light strings using Spitfire Originals. That was a bit thin, so I doubled that with tremolo strings from Orchestral Tools.

The cello from BiaB was last-minute addition, but it didn't really work on the fade like I was hoping. Neither did adding a violin part. I couldn't find a BiaB lead guitar that worked, either. So I settled for a BiaB saxophone, which I think works well.

As usual, nothing's set in stone, so if you've got any suggestions, I'll be happy to hear them!

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

So. I didn't read the back story to all of this (long or short version), because I didn't want to be influenced, before listening to the song.

This is quite a masterpiece, I would say. So, so beautiful. The lyrics are incredible. When that first verse started, wow!!! Superb, and quite sublime. A tear or two, in my eyes, too - I won't deny.

The duet is superb, works so, so well.

REMEMBER ME ... the wish of every single being, human or otherwise.

The saxophone at the end was a beautiful surprise.

Easily, easily, one of your best that I have ever heard, on here. BRAVO. Absolutely superb! Thanks for providing a wonderful end to my day.

P.S. (EDIT): on my fourth or fifth listen (I know) ... these lyrics struck me particularly hard:

I know that you've got to go so far away from me

and

Just remember you are loved
You're not alone
When you find me in your heart, you'll be home


I realise I didn't quite appreciate the lyrics to their full value, so wanted to correct this, here. Wow. Hard to hold back tears, honestly. Wow.

David,
Great tune and wonderful production! Love that vocal echo tracing off to the far right of the stereo field! The CajonFolkSlow8ths are the perfect choice for the percussion section...love that set! Everything is sweet especially the work with vocals!
Take care, TB

Wonderful. The lyrics are excellent. It even sounds like a homage to the Divine Feminine as is my "Quan Yin" and other compositions with 'Deya' and 'Sophia' in the titles. I'm currently looking for a new preferably female vocalist to complete the song version of "Deya Flows", but a theme that's in that is mirrored by your lyrics:

If you need someone to guide you, let me light the way
You'll see me shining like a beacon in the night

Just remember you are loved
You're not alone
When you find me in your heart, you'll be home

#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

David,

Wow! This is beautiful and wonderfully produced.

Not only is it a great song, but it's also a sonic wonder. The vocals are perfect. Incredible stuff.

You are the SynthV master...

Excellent song, and those vocals are pretty much perfect I think. Love the fadeout with the sax!

Your best yet I think, David.

Wonderful song, great instrument choices (the sax at the end is PERFECT) and the production really did a great job of putting everything together in a very natural sounding way.
Super vocals with a super backing band.
In my opinion your best so far!

David, well, everything I was going to say has been said several times. This is an amazing tune for sure. From your description, it sounds like a labor of love, and a lot of work, too. That being said, it all sounds simple and simply effortless. Thanks for posting!

What a wonderful sound you created, David. Outstanding arrangement and there is so much goodness in there --which makes it so much more difficult to mix. Last minute choice of cello was the prefect icing. You've really masterd those vocals and gave them such good lyrics to sing. This whole package is a A+++++. Love it!!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wonderful work, David.
The lyrics and voices are great and the sax is a good addition.

A bridge is just to create contrast to what comes before and after but I expect you already know that.
I use usually it if I need to separate two similar parts, i.e. the last two choruses.
I'm not sure you need it here as the last chorus is lyrically different but it may work better if you silence one or two of the instruments in it to create variance.

STUNNING.

Gorgeous piano. Delicately played.
(you made me wish I had picked up that AK piano, too)

The vocals are exquisite. These guys/gals sing with Emotion. Almost scary real.

Your arrangement is a delight. Strings are subtle - beautiful. So Many nice touches. A LOT of work in this production, Well Done.
Good that you could not find a guitar to use - because that sax was the perfect ending...

This is one of the best productions ever posted here.

Standing O.

A classic ballad I would expect to hear on a real stage, not on this forum, so I would call it too good smile

Beautiful lyrics, the first verse is especially good introduction to the story. The bridge works very well and the ending "When you find me in your heart, you'll be home" is touching and just like from my guidebook: leave the best part for last smile

You have stepped from J-Pop straight to contemporary adult, and so the vocalist selection is reflecting that. First I thought that the female was Sheena, I didn't realize there existed even better alternative. And Saros is excellent choice to support Feng Yi's beautiful and soft voice, excellent work to make them sound great together.

Strings and sax are especially nicely handled, fading with the sax is a bit cliche, but it works everytime for me laugh

You have written a masterpiece where even tiny details are perfectly and skillfully positioned. You seem to have purchased everything possible, but in this case it sounds like it paid off smile

David, your production chops and writing skills are on full display here. The way you work with these voices is nothing short of remarkable. I'm sure you put in a ton of time on this and it shows. I believe this is the best I've heard from you. This is tremendous in all aspects! Bravo! Tom

It was a surprise to me, as well.

I'd hoped that the cello could carry the fade, but I'm happy with how well it worked out anyway.

Thanks, I appreciate it. smile

I'm so used to putting reverb on things, I tend to forget about what the delay can do. It's one of the options on the Greg Wells VoiceCentric plugins, and it does a nice job widening the voice without the buildup that you get from a reverb.

And yes - that's a fun cajon!

If you don't mind working with synthetic vocalists, there are some very nice voices available for SynthesizerV. But... you need to be willing to spend time with the piano roll!

Thanks for listening and commenting.
