Alan,
Hearing this song, especially with the heartfelt context you shared, is truly a profound experience. Thank you for the immense generosity—and the bravery—it took to post this precious tribute, particularly after such a difficult day.
This song is more than a composition; it is a lasting vessel of you and Di's shared life and love.
It possesses a magnificent, timeless quality that perfectly encapsulates the gentle intimacy expressed in the lyrics you both created.
By preserving her voice—by "ripping it" and carefully placing it onto these newly arranged tracks—you have done something truly miraculous.
You have not merely archived a memory; you have created a permanent, living presence.
You mentioned missing that sweet voice singing around the house, and while nothing can ever replace the spontaneity of those moments, this song offers something extraordinary: the ability to hear her, clear and vibrant, exactly as she was on the cusp of her 65th birthday, singing the sentiments of a heart completely dedicated to you.
As I listen I hear Di's spirit in her glorious voice supported by the beauty of the arrangement. Her vocal performance is infused with such warmth and certainty, embodying the powerful promise in the lyrics:
"Without you I’d never be / The woman I’ve become."
Alan, you didn’t just write the music; you wrote the scaffolding that holds her voice forever in the air.
This song is the sound of two souls intertwining, exquistely memorialized in Bossa Nova rhythm.
Thank you for allowing me a window into this treasured legacy.
May the clarity and sweetness of her voice in this recording continue to be a source of comfort for you, today and for all the years to come.
With deepest admiration,
Izzy

What a beautiful song! Di's voice is also beautiful - I don't think I've heard it before. All around it's a great arrangement with excellent instrumentation.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#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.

I'm still the new kid on the block here, so this is the first time I've heard this song. And I like what I hear. A fantastic voice, and I would never have guessed that this is a completely new backing track matched to a ripped vocal stem. Perfect ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) B.D... Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, my wife had a gorgeous voice. Unfortunately, she could not send any of that my way. But I have almost 3,000 copies of her singing, including several hundred videos of her singing. Fortunately, I'll never forget the sound of her voice. See ya next time, Alan

I'm missing also Di's great, sensual singing! Great, that it's recorded. Aa a whole a good, old melodic and rhythmic production, you hera too seldom these days. Hi Esa, Thank you very much for those very nice comments. I'd like to be here more, Soon I'll be able to be here more often. Still, taking care of some complicated legal issues, many of which are in two different states from the one I live in. Thank you for the visit. See you at your song soon. Alan

What a great idea, Alan! Looking forward to hearing more! Hi, Scott, I'll be posting one every three or four weeks for a few months. They'll be reposts initially. I'm heavily involved in some lengthy legal situations - will be for a few more weeks. Best to you, Alan

Speaking for all of us, Alan, we love you and we're with you, man. Seriously, if you ever need anything, you got my number.
Man, it doesn't get any better than this. Happy birthday Di. I always love your voice. So soothing and what a good range, and so emotional. I particularly like the controlled vibrato. Man, I really like how this starts out, Alan, and then how you ease it into a terrific song of changes and excitement. The flute is a perfect choice --pretty much the only acceptable sound while we wait for that special vocal. Hi, My Friend, Many sincere thanks for all those kind and wonderful comments. The flute was a natural fit. This arrangement was done before multirif - and the flute came out nearly perfect on the 2nd regeneration. Her vibrato was natural. When I told her about how fantastic it was, she had no idea what I was talking about. The BIAB tracks happened pretty easily. I got lucky that I didn't have to sample very many possibilities for them. The tracks came together in about an hour. Sure do miss hearing that beautiful voice live every day. Wishing you the very best, Alan

Hi, Alan.
It's really nice to hear Di again!
It would be good to have the vocal a bit more up front, but I understand the issues of trying to deal with a ripped vocal.
I'll enjoy listening to anything of Di's that you post. Hi David, Perhaps our listening devices are a bit different. Her vocal is very upfront when I listen on my expensive AT headphones. Or, maybe it's just a difference in our preferences. Regardless, I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I plan on re-posting a song of hers once a month, or so, until the end of the year. After the holidays, I'll have much more time to work on stripping more vocals and find some good RTs for them. Again, thanks so much. I always appreciate your input and comments. Alan

Allan, Di sure had a fantastic voice.
This must have been extremely hard to produce, especially with the lyrics. I know that I couldn't do it. I am impressed on how you pulled the vocal out of an old recording, added those RTs, then had everything sound so darn good.
Loved it.
PS - Stay strong and take care of yourself. You are in my prayers. Mario, Actually, it wasn't all that difficult. I spent a little over an hour massaging the vocal, and about the same amount of time to find the RTs. Every time we get an annual update, I spend several hours for several days listening to the new tracks and note the ones I think I'll use most often for the various genres. So, most of the time, finding racks that work for my projects isn't very much trouble. Of course, there's always the exception! But this one came together fairly quickly - between 2 and three hours. I appreciate the personal comments. I'm doing quite a bit better. The first 2 months were really tough. But, as I said, I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Our daughter and granddaughter are both just a few houses away. Of course, they're grieving, too. But we find solace in talking amongst ourselves. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Alan

The two of you together made such beautiful music.
The new band and mix are excellent.

Lovely,

No doubt, she was a remarkable person and singer, so nice to hear her lovely singing again. This song is exceptionally beautiful. I admire how you can work on these old songs, it must be emotionally hard. The arrangement, the mix and Di's vocal are in perfect balance, that flute sounds great. Glad to hear that you are bringing more of her pearls to us, to keep her alive in our hearts.

First rate job putting the vocal in with the Real Tracks. Di sounds great. I was just thinking the other day how our recorded performances keep us alive even after we're gone.

Izzy Hi, Izzy, Well, I'm not sure how to reply to such a wonderful review. First, thank you so much for the in-depth look at the entirety of the project. That put a big smile on my face. It was, indeed, an emotional circus to redo this one, given the circumstances. She certainly had a remarkable voice. What always left me in awe was the ease with which she maneuvered all the vocal nuances to get the sound she did - both tonally and technically. I think her impeccable phrasing is the cherry on this ice cream sundae. And all of her vocals had that special touch. Her explanation was, "I just sing what I feel, and that's how it comes out. And every recording I have of her, it was a practice sing, and then turn on the mic and get out of her way. There's never a cut-and-paste on any vocal we've recorded. It's once through and move on to the next step. She just had the gift. And she could sing in almost genre and sound authentic. She was amazing. Fortunately, my music compositions were almost always a good match for her voice. Thank you so much. Wishing you the very best. Alan

Alan,
This is great to hear.
Happy Birthday, girl!
It's great that you have these recordings. Forever.
Di at her best.
Thoughts to you.
fj Thank you very much, Floyd. It's too bad i can't post but a very few of all those recordings. Most of them are cover songs. And, yes. I'll have them for as long as my forever is. I'm closing in on 80 years old. But my mother lived to be 90 and her mother, my grandmother, made it to 99. So, I might be around long enough to irritate a lot of people for a while! Thanks for the thoughts - much appreciated. Alan

J&B Hey, Folks. Tis always a pleasure to see your name(s) for a review/comment on one of our songs. She was so special in so many ways. I treasure those recordings of her. And sharing her special talent is, indeed, comforting. The flute really topped this one. It was recorded prior to multirif, and it was just the second regeneration of the entire track. Many thanks.

Janne Janne, It was so nice of you to say all those nice things. Appreciate very much, and I know she would, too. It was a fun song to put together. I was playing the basic mix when she walked into our little recording area and said, "Oh, I really like that. Do you have any words for it, yet?" I told her I did not. She said, "Well, I've got some ideas." So, we put our thoughts together and came up with the lyric in a couple of hours. It turned out pretty good! Of course, she could sing the label of the nutritional info on the back of a frozen dinner and make it sound like Top Ten material. Thanks so much. Alan
