Hello everyone,

Today it's Anne-Marie's birthday :-)
Just like last year I wrote her a song.

For all we know

She likes the song very much, but her opinion may be slightly biassed
Hope y'all like it too!
A big thanks to Frank (Seeker) for his very cool Piano Ambient user track.

Rob, your material is always top-class. Great melody, accompanied by a beautiful vocal. The video clip is the icing on the cake.
Very sensitive, with builds in all the right places.

Congratulations

Trev

Beautiful song beautifully sung and presented. Top class lyrics.
Great dynamics. Everything is just right. Pro video and the piano's are perfect for the song.
Best wishes Anne-Marie and what a wonderful present. Ahhhh. Cheers.

Hi Rob,

what a nice birthday present.
I enjoyed listening a lot.
Very tasteful video.
Happy birthday, Anne-Marie.

Guenter

Very nice birthday gift.

Happy Birthday Anne-Marie.

Charlie

Beautiful and delicate.
Thanks for listing. Just subed to your youtube channel.

Rob,

Everything astounding about this masterpiece.
Vocals, tune, production and video.

beautiful.

Happy Birthday, Anne Marie

Alyn

Pretty song well done as usual, nice video - hope the birthday was great.

Rob, Very nicely written and produced. This is a wonderful birthday present for Anne-Marie. Much better than flowers. Another fine song. Tom

Biased she may be...but she has plenty of reasons for it!

When the candy is eaten and the flowers have faded
a tribute like this will endure. And, equally important,
it can be shared with others.

Beautifully written, sung, arranged and mixed and
presented by another world class video.

Happy belated b'day wishes!

J&B

Happy belated AM!! Very pretty song!! Vocals as usual are as good as it gets. Nice everything-lyrics, arrangement, mix..... I particularly got a kick out of the faux violin video. I remember Rob doing that very convincingly on an electric guitar solo as well. Really nice stuff!! Take care. Greg

Thank you Trevor!
Tried to make it sensitive ;-)




Thank you Rich!
Part of the dynamics are due to the acoustic guitar coming in on the chorus, but also Frank's user track plays an important role here.

Rob




Thank you Guenter!
I try to do this for her every year ;-)

Rob

Thank you Charlie!

Rob

Thanks Rob, and also for your nice comment on YouTube!

Rob

Bud seems to saying just what I'm thinking these days. But I will repeat it!

Beautifully written, sung, arranged and mixed and
presented by another world class video.

Happy belated birthday wishes, Anne-Marie!

Beautiful vocal on this (as always). What a terrific listen!

floyd

Is the Piano One VST the free one?

What an excellent quality piece altogether
(video, music, lyrics, production)

Without love all else is bleak.
Brilliant

Thanks Sonny for your very kind comments!

Rob

Thanks everyone for the best wishes!
I had a very nice birthday :-)

Anne-Marie

Thank you Alyn!




Thank you Peter!




Thank you Tom!
Yeah, I think it's better than flowers the song will last longer ;-)





"When the candy is eaten and the flowers have faded"
haha, and the beer and wine has gone :-)

Thanks as always for your very positive comments!





Thank you Greg, yes, it's always nice to mimic the solo in a video (this violin part was already 'existing' footage. Wouldn't even know how to hold a violin, haha.






Thank you Floyd! Yes, the song features the Piano One free VSTI. We think it's the best midi piano plug-in, ever. The only thing it usually needs is a slight adjusting of the release and sustain. The plug-in works nicely in BIAB but may have some issues in several DAWS.

Great song as usual.
Very melodic.

I like the violin final part.

Happy birthday to Anne-Marie
Hello

Sergio.

Thank you Sergio!

What an awesome tribute a wonderful thing to do. Happy Birthday Anne-Marie!! (Hope I am not too late.)

Love the lyrics and song structure on this one. Very moving and heartfelt.

Hello David,

It's never too late to wish Anne-Marie a happy birthday
Thanks for your very kind comment!

Rob

What a wonderful song and a super tribute to your wife!

Happy belated birthday Anne-Marie!

Ps - are you the same age as I am, 29 and holding onto everything that you can

I couldn't have said it better!

Thanks Mario!

Yes, I like the song very much. It's the third time he wrote me a song.
And I'm definitely holding on to everything I can, but at my age there's still loads of things to find out

Anne-Marie

Thanks Lawrence!

Rob,

This is beautiful. A real pleasure to listen to. You've excelled in putting this together... but then that's true of everything you've done here on the forum. Top class work in every way!

Happy belated birthday, Anne-Marie.

Best wishes,
Noel

Fantastic (as usual).

DE

Late to the party on this one. Very nice, Rob, and Happy Belated Birthday to Anne-Marie!
