DREAM We can change the World
DREAM
https://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/34458286-dream-we-can-change-the-worldThis one was a challenge. I was going for a "Beatles-ish" kind of arrangement with the huge fade out and George Martin strings. I tried singing the vocals in several keys and just not able to get a satisfactory take. I then tried AI vocals to turn my voice into John Lennon's that turned into total mess. Finally I used Synth V Saros, Kevin, and many others to get a full sound. Let me know if I hit the mark. All comments are welcome. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: dream File:dream.SGU Key=F , Tempo 82, Length (m:s)=6:29 2 bar intro, 129 bar chorus, from bar 3 to bar 131. Repeat x1 chorus Fadeout ending bars =199. No Melody No Soloist track.

Zoinks! Shades of Sgt Pepper, I think you've done it. You've definitely got that mid-period George Martin vibe going in the arrangement and production.
Beatlesque vocals are SO hard though. I mean, they're the BEATLES, right? John, Paul and George were probably the greatest boy band vocalists EVER. (No, that's not controversial whatsoever) So...I think your vocals are quite well done, and they stand on their own perfectly. But they don't remind me of...them. On the other hand, neither did Badfinger or Oasis, as perfect as THEY are.
So be proud. You did GREAT!

Hi Elliott.
My gosh! You've really managed to capture the essence of The Beatles and use to it to create an outstanding song. The arrangement and productions are awesome. I love how you've used Saros and Kevin from Synthesizier V. You have really mastered these vocaloids. They sounded fully real to me.
In addition, your lyric writing is first class. To be able to create a cohesive lyric that can stand tall with minimal rhyming like this is a real credit to your abilities. Everything fitted and nothing was amiss. Super impressive!
I found this an excellent listen!

I'm certainly no Beatles expert, but I hear a nice Beatles sound and instrumentation, and more importantly, the lyrics/vocals have that vibe.
I think it's a success.
Well done, Elliott.

Really fantastic production! It screams The Beatles from the opening and throughout, but that makes it even more impressive. Incredible job! It's probably the best produced song I've seen on this forum to date.
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.

OH< YEAH!! This sounds like a Lennon song for sure. Love it, Elliott. George Martin (and Sir Paul, the symphony composer) would really enjoy the string arrangement. Man, this is so good. Vocals are perfect, and even the guitar sounds like Harrison's taste. Reallly dig the horns too. Great effort, Elliott. Man, that fade is longer than Hey Jude love. Very much enjoyed.

I definitely hear the Beatles vibe and I like it. One thought is the overall mix sounds just a little bright. Maybe more bass and mids, at least through the speakers I am listening through. Nice song with a good vibe.

Elliott...Wow! great production all round....very Beatles-ish for sure....as an amateur working with AI voices I love listening to someone who does it right...and I know this takes a monumental effort and intensive amount of work...this is excellent!

Elliott, this sounds like something John would write, very Beatles like.
Super synth vocals!
Outstanding backing band and arrangement, very Sargent Pepper!
You did an outstanding job on this.
Loved it.

As so many have noted you definitely captured the late 60's Beatles feel. The production is great and we love the sentiment of the write. Excellent work with the synth vocals indeed. J&B PS I (Bud) saw the Beatles live and was managing several bands during the Sgt. Pepper's period and fully appreciate your efforts to achieve this vibe.
