Hi everyone,

Here's a very rock track, bordering on country-rock. The theme is the expression of a sentimental relationship. I've put a free translation in English. If this inspires anyone, I'd be delighted to receive suggestions for an English text, along the same melody line, of course. Registration with the copyright society. I have the material for an E. P. in this particular style.

Drums, blues-rock
Bass, 1522
Ac GTR, 691
El GTR (rhythm), 697
El GTR (riffs), 1524
Voice, Paul

En échange de l'amour

How many words of love have I said to you lately
Passionate marks of a successful life
I can never tell you "I love you" enough
How many blessed days, sitting by your side
Watching your eyes and your heart beat
I can never tell you "I love you" enough
I will tear down all the walls
The walls and ramparts of a chaotic land
I will bring you thousands of stones
I will lay them at your feet

In exchange for love
In exchange for love
You ask for nothing
Just a little tenderness
A few dreams and promises
Just a bit of intoxication
In exchange for love
In exchange for love
You ask for nothing
Neither beauty nor youth
Neither glory nor wealth

How many bursts of laughter, shared smiles
Of fluttering eyelids as the only messenger
I can never tell you "I love you" enough
How many times has your heart paced
At the gates of my soul, exiled at times
I can never tell you "I love you" enough
I will tame the fire at the heart of the earth
I will draw water from the edge of deserts
I will fill the cities with a thousand scents
That I will bring to you one by one


Have fun !

This sounds great. Tastefully thick instrumentation/mix and killer vocals. Not getting a lot of "country" but definitely a cool, throbbing "rock" vibe. Sorry I can't help with the lyrics, but there are some very endearing sentiments in your English version. The "stones" lines were the only ones I found hard to sort out. Nice song!

Great rock tune with great instrumentation. Love the chorus.

Unusual to hear rock (instead of chanson) in French, but it sounds great and is very well sung.
I like it!

Paul, this is a real rocker.
Super backing band, vocal, and the mix.

I can't help with the copyright as the rules in your country may be different than the USA or Canada, or any other country.

Paul. Voila quelque chose de bien ficelé. Une chanson bien rythmée et agréable à écouter. Tu as plus d'une corde à ton arc.
Alors, continue à décocher tes flèches!

Salut Laurent,

I didn't realize You're french !
Profitons du décalage horaire (USA)... pour dialoguer
Ben oui, BIAB est un outil extraordinaire. Au début, j'ai eu un peu de mal à le maîtriser mais là, ça va. Il y a tout de même intérêt à être musicien (connaître la musique)
Il remplace avantageusement les musiciens de studio, du moins pour les instruments rythmiques (drums, basse, guitare acoustique et électrique)
Pour les riffs, en bricolant un peu, ça le fait. Pour les soli, là il faut passer un peu plus de temps mais cela reste tout de même très réaliste.
Bon, je préfère toutefois un solo de Pedal steel guitar joué par un pote confirmé (20 ans avec E. Mitchell) car la musicalité est là et c'est quelqu'un qui comprend vite ce que tu recherches.
Cela dit, j'ai un titre country sur lequel j'utilises la PSG de BIAB mais dû j'ai procédé en mode découpage, editing et rafistolage-rapiéçage. Ca sonne ! Une ou deux heures de boulot et c'est "in the box".

Tiens, pour ton illustration visuelle d'Avant-garde, c'est quoi le logiciel de génération AI ? Je trouve les tableaux superbes !
Bon weekend et bonne 'zic

P.S. Thanks Paul (Glaser) for Your nice comment

Strong vocal with a good range in the melody. Thanks for the translation; I really like how it sounds in French. Every love song should be written in French. Well done, Paul.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Fun rocker!

Great vocals and BiaB session guys.
You did an excellent production with all BiaB tracks and mixed them well also.

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

Bonjour, Paul ...

I really enjoyed this. Your vocal is terrific, and the BIAB backing tracks are expertly used. I like everything about this song - I wouldn't change a thing.

Wishing you and yours the very best,

Alan
