A quite sad song, but "Maybe tomorrow I will understand my role in our story" lights hope when facing something inexplicable, it is easy to relate to that. All elements work together to bring that message forward. The vocalist sounds convincing, even though it is not you singing, it still expresses your true voice very clearly to me and shows how much you have worked on that vocal instrument. Bossa nova style, the wistful piano and sax are very pleasant to my ears. The feeling your song evokes has really touched my heart.
Janne Hi Janne. It's good to see you again. Thanks for the visit  I love your critique. Thank you so much for taking the time. I have never written a song for a Bass-baritone singer before and Asterian made it possible for me to spread my wings! I really enjoy working with Synth V. Just like BIAB, Synth V opens the doors of musical possibility in ways that make creating music lots of fun! All the best. --Noel

Reminiscent of the standards of yesteryear, which is a genre that I enjoy just as much as rock. Pleasant melody and poignant lyrics. Hi ES. Thanks for dropping in. It's always good to see you Like you, the Tin Pan Alley genre is one of my favourites. It's a genre in which I seem to write many of my songs. There were such a lot of outstanding melodists and lyricists in the 1920–1950s that they set the stage for what would eventually become pop music. And as you mention, many of the songs from this period of time have gone onto become 'timeless standards.' I appreciate that you had time to have a listen and comment. Thanks again! --Noel

Hi Noel,
A lovely, romantic, sad song, and very well performed!
I think it was a lot of work to get the AI sing like you want him to.
But you succeeded in that very well. But I agree with Ray, I prefer your own vocals a bit more.
The other thing is, the song yells for female vocals too on the choruses, but maybe that's because I prefer some volume and distinction in the voices in the chorus.
But however; your AI performed very well in this song. I liked it!
Hans Hi Hans. Thank you for passing through. It's good to see you Thank you for visiting Soundcloud and having a listen. I appreciate your comments, too. I thought about adding another layer of vocals. In the end, though, I decided to keep it simple and try to emulate a live performance of a small jazz ensemble. All the very best! --Noel

If you ever seek a multilingual songstress who LOVES performing bossa, i be here --
You can find my work with another biab-er. I'm hoping to continue in the vein of said regular composer, but to add to my offering on YT with public domain works. Please find me on YT by using my full name
Bonnie Nadine Newman
Thank you ever so much. Success to you, always.
only1emmapeel@gmail.com Hi EmmaPeel. Thanks for the offer. I'm only a hobby songwriter, though. Good luck with your work! --Noel

Dear Neal, I edited my comment. I changed my mind about being against of using AI for vocals, because after all it's the same then any other virtual instrument. If one is creating something, why couldn't all the tools of the trade be in use. I'm myself using BiaB Real Tracks for instruments I can't play and even virtual instrument for Uillean pipe for it's suitable sound. Because I'm a no good as a singer (and over 70 years old) I could use virtual instrument for that as well. But I got encouraging comments, like the miles behind can be heard in my vocals, which gives them respect. So I still try to sing myself. If I don't manage to get a visiting vocalist. Hi Brno. I totally agree with your comments. I'm just a hobby musician who has a basic music background, but I cannot do all the things that BIAB does for me. Without BIAB, I wouldn't be able to write and produce songs. Synth V, the vocal synthesizer, allows me to add male and female singers to my work. So with the combination of BIAB and Synth V, I get to have fun writing song and creating productions that I'd find too difficult to do by myself. Thanks for taking the time to revisit your thoughts. --Noel

Cool one, Noel. The tempo is a cautious ray of hope as the song opens, and the way you build it brings it to the full brightness of belief. What a wonderful production and arrangement. That sax is perfect. Bossa=Love, and I love this one. Hi Marty. As always, it's good to see you Thanks for having a listen and for you very encouraging comments. I really appreciate your visit. May lots of good things come your way! --Noel

Noel,
Excellent songwriting . . . a song right out of yesterday’s great American Standards . . . nice light jazzy feel to it. And love that sax, which fits the song just perfect. The vocaloid is well executed. The Asterian vocaloid doesn't always do it for me--just something about his tone--but I think he works well enough here with this song.
BTW, I love your cover art. Nice pic!
Hope all is well in your world!
Deej Hi Deej. Thanks for dropping in It's excellent to see you. I appreciate your listen and your comments. Asterian is an interesting vocaloid. It's one that seems to polarize people. I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I use him. The pic was courtesy of Canva. I just typed in a description of the kind of scene I had in my mind when I wrote the song and Canva did the rest. It was a pretty good fit, I think! Thanks again and all the best! --Noel

The lyric is tender and lovely as is the melody.
You hit the mark of a 50’s or 60’s musical with Asterian as the singer as Janice initially thought of some musicals she had watched with her sisters.
(Gordon McRae in Oklahoma was one of those singers and movies.)
The piano and sax are highlights in the band.
Great arrangement and the mix sets up a nice open/airy soundstage on our monitors with plenty of subtle dynamics.
We enjoyed it and are glad you revisited this gem!
J&B Hi J&B It always brings a smile to my face to see that you've visited. Thank you for taking the time. And thanks heaps for mention Gordon McRae in "Oklahoma." That is exactly the kind of light operatic sound that I had in mind when I started working with Asterian. I've never worked with a voice in this range before, and it turned out to be quite a learning experience. Once again, thank you. --Noel

Noel,
My time on the forums is very limited - didn't get a chance to hear this when you initially posted it. But I'm delighted I finally got to enjoy your wonderful song.
A ray of hope, a sliver of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day is the analogy that came to mind for me. Guarded optimism also sneaks in. It's a beautiful song in all respects and is perfectly arranged for a stage performance. Bud mentioned Gordon McRae - I think he hit the nail squarely on the head. He has a full, rich, mid-baritone voice this song would be magic with a vocal similar to his. (I grew up in the 1940s and 1950s - yep, officially old). But it shines really bright as is. You always make such pleasant music to listen to. I look forward to every post you load onto the forum.
A lot of folks trash AI in its various applications re music. My thoughts are use whatever tools are available to you that meld with the music you are creating. Ans ... AI is here to stay and will become even more prevalent as time passes.
Lovely and soothing song. Loved my listen.
Alan Hi Alan. I'm really glad that you found time to drop in It always gives my day a lift to see that you've visited. I know that life has put you in a very demanding situation and that you a busy man right at the moment. I sincerely admire the steadfast resolve and the caring tenacity with which you approach day-to-day life. In other words, you inspire me no end with what you do and how you do it. And amongst it all, you still find time to create truly beautiful music. I really appreciate your thoughts on my song and on Asterian. You completely understand where I was coming from when I wrote and arranged Maybe Tomorrow. Like you, I'm also a believer in using whatever is available to make music that I like. Top of that list of tools is, without a doubt, Band In A Box. I started with the program in 2006 and even now, I still use it most days of the week. It never ceases amazing me just how many musical doors BIAB has unlocked for me. Thank you again. I sincerely wish you and Di the very best of everything. --Noel
