Hiding is about a relationship without any trust.
Genre: Jazz

Lyrics:
HIDING

Any time and day will do
I will be there for you
To cheer you up when you’re feeling down
To brighten up your day and take away that frown

I hope that it’s alright with you.
Or am I overlooking something new
Coz when I arrived, you were taken aback
You don’t appear to be expecting me to show up.

Now I realize you don’t want me to be here
Whatever motivations your acts reveal
Is there something I'm disturbing since I came in?
Coz I'm concerned that you're bothered by something.


Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Hiding,
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Now you cannot answer my questions directly
You told me it's nothing and that you're just weary
I can't tell if you're lying but you are not in your glory
Since your face tells a different story.

Your face quickly changed when I told you I’d stay.
You said I’d rather not, coz you need to relax
I could sense you wanted me to leave right away
I'm very convinced you're up to something.

Now I realize you don’t want me to be here
Whatever motivations your acts reveal
Is there something I'm disturbing since I came in?
Coz I'm concerned that you're bothered by something.

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Scat solo . . .

Now I realize you don’t want me to be here
Whatever motivations your acts reveal
Is there something I'm disturbing since I came in?
Coz I'm concerned that you're bothered by something.

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

Hiding
Are you hiding?
Hiding, hiding something, someone, somewhere?

You don’t have to tell me any more lies
Coz I’m leaving you for good and getting away from your life
I’ll stay away from you, you stay away from me
Now you can stop pretending and come out of hiding.

Band:
The basic music was generated from BIAB. Then I edited and added
some instruments in Reason.

Vocals was Synth V Solaria Lite (the free version). I thought what If I let her do
the scat solo. I generated a solo in BIAB and assigned the notes to Solaria Lite.
I'm planning to buy Solaria and can't wait to see what she sound on this track.

Noel, that is some fantastic arrangement
Loved that backing band
The scat was spot on
To nitpick I thought the vocal was a little rushed, i.e. to many words and not enough time to sing them. That made it hard for me to understand the lyrics. But this is only my opinion and others may or may not agree.
Great mix


I'm in a fitness protection program. I'm been hiding from exercise.

Noel, very adventurous composition! Would be fun to hear somebody like Anita O'Day (RIP) sing this. Sounds like Solaria Lite might be a little overmatched with the tempo, but it's amazing what these synths are capable of. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Thank you very much for your comments. I am a fan of Manhattan Transfer especially their 'Four Brothers,' so I'm trying to make a song in reference to that, although it was done solo vocal. I will try to modify again after I buy the Solaria vocal bank.

Thank you

This is so cool. I agree with Mario with the tempo, but it was a good challenge for the singer and she (or it, meaning you) did an outstanding job. Man, that scat stuff is inspired. She grabbed the feel, and what a sensational range. You know, there seems like a million words in every note, but each word is distinct. Wow, what a terrific arrangement. Great band. So well composed.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Your tune has flair and is catchy. I concur with Mario about the tempo.Maybe slow down or adjust lyrics. Scat part was awesome, and so was the ending section. I enjoyed it!
