Hi All,
Here's something new - this little piece is called
Time Love Space.
How do you slow time
Time that runs
She said well I
Let it run
Run away
How do you slow love
Love that flies
She said well I
Let it fly
Fly away fly away
How do you slow space
Space that fades
She said well I
Let it fade
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Really enjoying this new sig sound Bob!
Robert,
love the way you insert pauses into your verses for effect!
I also really like that baritone guitar! You've used it on a couple of songs now, and that sort of creates the illusion that you have a live band, and your guitar player plays one!
I remember that a now-inactive forum member named John DesJardins (you've been here long enough to remember him) purposefully used the same instruments in all of his songs in order to make albums of songs that sound like they were recorded in a studio by the same band. Cool idea! Indeed, a band's signature sound tends to be built around the band member's playing style and the sonic characteristics of their gear.
I think the effects you use on your vocals really do a great job of making the verses fit seamlessly into the rest of the mix.
I also like the picture you used for the song on Sound Cloud. Did you draw it?
Bob, I concur with Pat's comments. I like the way you vary your vocal delivery. It's really gives your songs a dynamic missing in a lot of other peoples songs. The baritone really enhances this one. Thanks, Torrey
Hey Josie,
So good to hear from you. Thanks for listening and commenting.
Bob
Pat hit the nail right on the head. Your phrasing is the best that I have heard in a love time. That coupled with the fact that the guitar did not get in the way of the vocals was definitely a very professional approach. Outstanding mix!
Love that guitar.
This is a keeper.
Bob
Some really nice dynamics and a good set of lyrics. The band sounds just right.
Excellent song.
Peter
Pat,
Thanks so much for the in-depth review.
I like using the same "band" for particular songs - to me it brings a certain cohesiveness to what I am doing. Typically, I'll end-up leveraging those same instruments for a longer period of time, or until I get it out of my system... LOL!
No, I did not draw that picture - just one of many that I have collected and stored in my virtual art box.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Bob
Very cool tune Bob. Loved the delivery on this one. Very dramatic piece. Guitar was very cool.
This really reminds me of a Bowie song and I rather enjoy it! Please keep creating more songs. <3
Cool one, Bob.
That BAND is working well for you. This sounds so "comfortable". Everything "in the pocket". Good vocal. Excellent mix.
Enjoyed it.

Bob,
This would be a great song in a Cohen brothers movie. Really quite cinematic.
Also, my goal this decade is to write a song with lyrics that are shorter than yours, but just as good.
I realize it might take me 10 years to achieve this goal, but I'm really quite unstoppable once I set my mind to something.
Torrey,
Thanks - much appreciated.
Bob
Mario,
That's very kind of you - thanks so much.
Bob
I agree with all that's been said
very nice phrasing and an awesome mix
great clarity in the overall sound
and the three things addressed
time, love, and space
great write, once again
enjoyed
Kenny
Peter,
Thanks very much.
Bob
This is a wonderful tune, rsdean! I like the guitar work on it immensely, and the somber yet attention-drawing vocal delivery truly gives it a unique aesthetic. Also, props on the lyrics! Simple, yet effective
Thanks so much for sharing!
Bob, I concur with Pat's comments. I like the way you vary your vocal delivery. It's really gives your songs a dynamic missing in a lot of other peoples songs. The baritone really enhances this one. Thanks, Torrey
Torrey and Pat put into words what we have long thought. Yes, your vocal phrasing always is very supportive of the lyric mood and along with the well thought out backing fills adds the mentioned dynamic to the song. We have long felt that dynamics ice the cake on a good tune. “In your face” doesn’t work for us for any genre.
Great piece of work here....lyric, arrangement, performance and mix.

Really Enjoyed this.
Lots of emotion and depth.

Bob, As others have noted, your phrasing along with the prominent Baritone guitar set a mood that works great. Nice fadeaway at the end. Great stuff! Tom
Tom,
I appreciate that - thanks!
Bob
Neat - it's like listening to a version of Bill Shatner that can actually sing.
Hi Bob.
I'm a bit late getting to this one - I never have as much time to spend on the forum as I'd like and yes, really it's all been said already.
A very atmospheric track which is very much in your own style and which does, indeed, sound like a movie soundtrack.
Excellent backing and a great mix with everything hanging together as it should.
Loved the guitar sound!
Cheers, ROG.
David,
Thanks - I think... LOL!
Bob

Hi Bob,
As I listened, I couldn't stop thinking about how effectively you've put this song together. The music and your singing are very atmospheric and are well framed by excellently planned arrangement. Very nice indeed.
