Hi Floyd, I read everything you wrote about how you came up with this song and also about how you transformed into a woman. Uh, only in terms of the vocals, of course! I think the song sounds really great; a good rhythm, a good melody and lyrics (naturally), and also that female voice.
The funny thing was that while I heard her singing, I heard you singing too. And it was also funny that I read that Ray said almost the same thing. Oh, and Scott Olson (above) as well. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that female vocal. Not at all! It just means that I have heard so many of your songs, and know your lyrical structure a bit, which is why I heard you in it too.
I immediately looked up Audimee on the internet. I didn't know it. It looks good/promising, although I did think their harmony examples sounded a bit artificial. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for the tip, so to speak!
So, all in all, it is a very beautiful song, Floyd! Including that lady. Can we now expect that only female voices will be heard in your upcoming songs? Regards,
Hans Thanks, Hans... We agree with Bob Dean on the Pat Benatar vibe. Power, passion and attitude that both you and she have are combined beautifully here.
The BiaB session guys have good attitude also. Those drums pop and solo is excellent.
I can just see the friend looking at Tammy with amazement. Why? She didn’t realize how lucky she was to have someone love her that well. 😊
It’s such a cool musical project for you and Deb and we can’t wait for the project’s completion.
Way Cool and creative to the max!
J&B Thanks ya'll. Much appreciated... Someone mentioned Pat Benatar. Yes, definitely a PB type song. Interesting about Audimee. I can tell it's you singing, the phrasing, the tonal quality, and the way you attack the notes, but so clearly a female voice. I'll have to try it sometime. Good song! Thanks, Scott.... Very cool tune Floyd. Boy that vocal is something else. Could recognize your singing style and the change is amazing technology. Super lyric and backtrack. Well done. Thanks, Scott.... Hi floyd.
What a ride!!! I'm sitting here 5 minutes after the song is done and I can still hear the chorus in my head.
I love, LOVE the development of these lyrics. Your music-writing, lyric-writing and arranging prowess stand strong and tall in this creation. Moreover, after the bridge, the emotional intensity of the final chorus soared. Kudos to you on such an amazing job. After the song finished, I read the back story. It was fascinating to find out how the song came about. I sincerely hope that your idea for a musical grows into something extraordinary. You certainly have the ability and the creativity to make it work.
Prior to listening, I was not aware that you had used Audimee. As I journeyed along with the song, I was puzzled because I could hear your vocal inflexions and pronunciations. The performance was superb, and underlying it was a distinct floyd-jane style. Now that I know how you achieved this, I am impressed. Audimee and you did a wonderful job.
For what it's worth, I am now sitting here around 20 minutes after listening, and your song is still in my head, and I'm still greatly admiring what you have done. --Noel Appreciate the fine comments, Noel....
