This country love song talks about a love that is not so romantic.

I used BIAB to generate the piano and guitar riffs all throughout the verses and the chorus. The guitar intro and all the basic instruments were MIDI programmed. I used vocal synth for the vocals.

The DAW I used was Reason.

Lyrics:
UNROMANTIC LOVE
You thought I’m going to leave you.
Because you know you always make me sad.
You thought I didn’t care about you.
Because you know you always make me feel bad.

Well, I knew it from the start; you are not that type of man.
Who makes promises to be better with romance
I know you try so hard to be as romantic as you can be.
That is not who you are, but I know that you love me.

CHORUS:
That’s what I call
unromantic love
Yes, I’m dealing with
Unromantic love
I know you love me
But you don't know how to show it
It is what it is
Unromantic Love

You don't bring me flowers
Well as you say, “they are going to rot”.
You never surprise me
But if I want something, though, you get it for me.

Well, I knew it from the start; you are not that type of man.
Who makes promises to be better with romance
I know you try so hard to be as romantic as you can be.
That is not who you are, but I know that you love me.

Hi, Noel.

Nice throwback song that handles an interesting idea well. smile

Is that ACE Studio on the vocals?

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

Thank you very much. I used Yamaha Vocaloid on the vocal track.

Noel, nice tune! Love the piano and bass anchoring the band. Know the genre is country, but the vocals sound more like a 60s girl band to me. A Stax or Motown arrangement would also work great, I think. Not tracking vocaloid tech closely, but it's pretty amazing what they can do. More to come, I'm sure...

Fun song, Noel. Good bouncy feel, and a good mix. Unromantic love is the goal of love, right? Unquestioning and unconditional. This is a cool theme and you developed well.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Really nice production in this song. Re the rotting flowers I once heard a spiritual teacher cynically say something like, "Let me show you my love by giving you dying plants." crazy


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.

Nice nostalgic early 60s feel. Excellent work with the synth vocals. I like those guitar bits.
