To differentiate between the instrumental and vocal versions of "Deya Flows" I've renamed the vocal versions "Flowing Lady Deya" as it's the key lyric in the song. I discovered Argentinean vocalist, Denisse Ferrara, on Fiverr, and she amazingly supplied 9 vocal tracks for this song. I went for a foreign accent vocal to give the song a 'world' flavour, but the downside of that is that some words become obscured due to accent. I'm nonetheless extremely pleased with the result of these vocals - Denisse has brought the song to life - but had it been possible to work in a studio with her it would have been even better. In the main vocal track I had to up the gain over some phrases and lower 2 or 3, making 24 changes in total, then in the 2nd vocal track I did the same 4 times. All in all it took me 2 weeks to get the balance of all 9 tracks as I wanted them.

I now have 3 different rhythm section versions for the song - besides this and the 'baroque' I have a new 'smooth jazz' version - and out of the 3, Denisse chose this rock version. An Indian singer with a superb crystal pure voice chose the 'baroque', but I only received 3 files from her and alas I doubt I can use them, in part due to some of the pronunciations, so next I'll go for a 1st language English vocalist.

As this is a long intro, full lyrics are on the YouTube post - so PLEASE CLICK ON 'WATCH ON YOUTUBE'. Other than the title and end title images there's only one image in the video so as not to detract from the music and lyrics.
