Mixed in Cubase, Hayden synthesizer V vocals, guitar solo by myself. Good listening. Laurent
Hi Laurent. Sad reflection on old age when the road behind you is longer than the one ahead. It's a good thing that most of us have memories. Nicely balanced song.
Laurent, really nice! Very cool Steely Dan-ish vibe. LOVE the guitar solos, and the BGVs are sublime. The arrangement and mix are spot on. Not my favorite synth V performance, but that could just be me. Enjoyed it!

Describing this simply as minor Blues reminds me of how Charlie Parker would name his songs. It's so much more, Laurent. I really dig the Steely Dan feel (as others have mentinoned). Fun changes with syncopation and pushes, and the perfect melody to drive it along. Love the tone and feel of your guitar. All so good.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty

Laurent...I agree with Floyd...there is a Doobie vibe here...Heyden sounds great (I'm working with him these days also)...I love the texture of his voice...great tune...really nice band!

Thanks Vic. I started this song with the guitar riff in the verse and the theme of the lyrics came to me while listening to it. Laurent

Thank you Floyd and it does me a lot of honor to compare it with the songs of the Doobie brothers, a group for whom I have a lot of admiration. The BGV comes from the original style, I just raised the volume during the chorus. Laurent
Just a comment on the word "wind" - it's got two meanings and pronunciations in English, and SynthesizerV always picks the wrong one. The one you want is /w ih n d/.
A very worthy theme, which us old-timers will relate to. One of my oldest friends of 5 decades passed on last October, while younger and older ones passed before him, all remembered with love. I also really like the guitar lead in this.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #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.
Bonjour Laurent, La répétition des 2 accords du début est particulièrement bien vue et les variations mélodiques autour sont maîtrisées. L'ambiance qui se dégage de cette chanson est vraiment très originale.

Thanks DC Ron for the comments. There are adjustments to be made with the Synthesizer V, there are inappropriate pronunciations. Laurent

Nice job on the lead guitar, I can hear passion in your playing.
Excellent!
Thanks Dave for the comments especially on the guitar. Laurent

Video very rich in images which go well with your composition. It's pretty, well done.

Thanks firesong for the comments. I like Hayden's voice but there are elements of pronunciation to correct like "wind" for example as David pointed out. In this song I used a little Cubase plugin to lower the formant which gives it a slightly deeper voice. Laurent

Thanks David for the comments and the correction for "wind". I found that there was also a problem with "memories" as if the r was not pronounced. Since then I have tried adding an r: m eh m er r ih z and reducing the time of the phoneme eh. I'm still at the learning and testing stage. Laurent
The Hayden synth reminds me of Tal Winkenfield’s voice.
The write, arrangement, choice of BiaB tracks, mix and your solo are all excellent.
Video scenery of stark landscapes fits well with the melancholy lyric but also shows the beauty of life, even in the lonely moments.
Enjoyed it!

Thanks WaoBand for the comments. It’s a theme that becomes more present with age. Laurent

Merci Christian pour tes commentaires le début est venu tout seul à la guitare et après j'ai brodé autour de ce motif. Laurent
Laurent, Great song Super groove Sad but oh so true lyrics Great mix.
FWIW - I didn't care for the synth vocal, but that is only my opinion and others may not agree. However it didn't really detract to much from this song.
