Strong, beautiful chorus.
You vocal shines. It's good to hear it again.
The build you achieved in the production leads to positive end.

Hi floyd!

Thanks for dropping by. It's always good to see you smile Thanks for taking time to have a listen, too. The mixing was slow on this one. Even though I play piano, I find mixing it can be tough going sometimes. I think it was compounded by the fact that I'm seriously out of practice, these days! I think it's high time for me to get up and get going again!

All the very best!

Hi Ron!

It's good to see you. Thanks for the visit! I think nearly all my songs sound old-fashioned. I long ago gave up trying to write for anything other than personal pleasure. As a result, I think I've probably insulated myself from today's music, and my musical tastes and musical ideas are from another point in time. That said, I love what I do and I enjoy working towards a finished product. It's a satisfying bonus when other people also enjoy what I've put together.

Thanks again for taking the time!
--Noel

And then we got to the chorus and WOW.

Hayden’s subtle harmony is so nice with your tender vocal. The piano and mandolin work lovely together and the chimes and the arpeggios were such a perfect accompaniment to the lyric.

Great band, write, mix and arrangement. It sounds excellent on the monitors.

We love it!

J&B

Hi J&B,

Thank you smile I appreciate your listening and your comments a lot. When I read your first comment, you got me thinking that I might not have taken these lyrics in the best possible direction. I was so focused on creating a Science-Fiction/Fantasy kind of scenario that my mind was closed to other possibilities. I'm seriously glad that you mentioned this because I going to now try and write some lyrics to maintain Janice's experience of the first verse. I'm not sure how it will work out but if I manage to come up with something, you'll be the first to know!

You've got me smiling ear-to-ear here! And I'm excited to see if I can take these lyrics to the next level.

Thank you so much! And I hope the two of you have/had a really wonderful anniversary!
--Noel

If ever you need to know anything about radiation therapy or hormone therapy due to prostate cancer, please feel free to ask. I've got quite a lot of experience these days in many areas of urology. Maybe I should put it into a song!

I love alliteration and all the sonic devices I can use! These can really help make a lyric flow very well. Things like assonance, consonance, internal alliteration (that's what I call it, at least) and all the different types of rhyme and rhythm are all on the table when I write lyrics. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but once I get a lyric nearly settled to my liking, I go through the words and look for potential synonyms that might create better sonic links with my existing words.

Originally Posted by dcuny

Actually, I was so focused on writing a lyric that had a Science-fiction/Fantasy feel about it that when I got to verse 2, it occurred to me that I'd better give some kind of reason for my character's ability to reincarnate. I thought about ways of doing this for quite a while. Eventually, I landed on the idea that a form of mystical religion from ages past might be a useful way to do it. I tried various countries and their myths and legends before finally homing in on the Celts. Any upping of the rhythmic pattern is purely coincidental with trying to get a coherent story.

Rightly or wrongly, I cannot stop myself from being analytical. It's the only way I know how to write lyrics. I think I've mentioned this before, but just in case I haven't... Back in the early 2000s, I went to a Pat Pattison seminar and his approach to writing lyrics really clicked with me. I'm a physics/chemistry/mathematics kind of person and as I listened to Pat, I could see how I could approach writing lyrics from an analytical perspective. He gave me tools and insights that allowed me to productively use my science background to create lyrics. These tools also allowed me to analyze the lyrics of famous songs. Up until meeting Pat, I'd tried to write lyrics many times. Every time, though, I couldn't get anywhere. Since then, I've been to many of Pat's seminars and I've done all the exercises in every one of this books. It's been quite an amazing journey of discovery and self-discovery!

Hayden fits in well with you - nice work.

But then, it's all nice work. laugh

I'm really pleased that my singing is okay. I don't see myself as a singer. A few years ago, I simply decided to stop being self-conscious about how I sing and just do the best I can. I adopted the proverbial "I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" approach. That was a turning point for me, and it's all due to this forum and the supportive people in it (such as yourself). Software such as Nectar and Ozone also helped.

Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough. I'm sorry if I've over-explained myself. It's early morning, though, and I'm feeling enthusiastically verbose right now!

I appreciate your visit a great deal. Thanks again!
--Noel

Hi B.D.

Thanks for passing through the thread and stopping to listen and comment. I appreciate the positive feedback smile And I'm sincerely sorry. I hope I haven't caused your tongue any permanent damage!

Loved it.
Hi James.

Thank you for visiting the thread smile And thank you for having a listen and writing your thoughts. I sincerely appreciate the smile you brought me as I read them. Trust me, any good singing is purely coincidental. I just try to sing what I hear in my mind when I write the song. Sometimes that seems to work better than other times.

It's always great to see you. I hope things are travelling well for you.

Hi David,

Thanks for having a listen. I really appreciate you comments. I'm very much out of practice at putting songs together these days. I really glad that this one came together eventually. It took a while! I think the moral of the story is that I shouldn't leave it so long between posting songs. I need to be more productive and get back into the rhythm of writing, arranging, producing and posting!

Thanks again for taking the time.

And I know you don't know him, because you always say that.
It doesn't matter. The song is very nice, lovely to listen to, the lyrics are very good.
Glad you are back,

Hi Hans.

Hey Dave.

It's awesome to see you. Thanks for jumping in and having a listen smile I enjoyed putting this song together. It was an interesting challenge for me to try and create something along the lines of Science Fantasy.

All the very best!
