Time


Time by Jubilee Reed
A Valentine’s Day gift to her (at the time) boy friend (and now) husband.
Double tracked the vocals. Two separate takes panned left and right.
All harmonies by Jubilee.
All guitar tracks by Jubilee
Her Husband Mark plays bass on this song (not as many notes as the original BIAB player but not too shabby at all!)
On the little guitar riff sections Jubile is also singing melody and harmony “oo’s”!

Time
Jubilee Reed

Don’t think about the things you could have done
Let the sun shine on our backs, take some time to relax
How many hours have we been sitting here?
People with their dogs pass by, thinking we’re just wasting time

But time is never wasted
My time is never wasted with you

How can I start to say how much it means to me
That you are willing to tell me what you’re feeling?
Your heart is beautiful, I hope you know
It’s drawing me close to you like it’s supposed to do

My time is never wasted
My time is never wasted with you

I hope you know
You made me realize how much I love you
Oh, I’ll let you know
You made me realize that I love you
Oh, I hope you know
You made me realize how much I love you
Oh, I’ll let you know
You made me realize that I love you

My time is never wasted
My time is never wasted, no
My time is never wasted
My time is never wasted with you

Nicely done I really enjoyed the vocals on this, and it has a delightful modern sound. It almost reminds of certain songs by Neko Case. It flows really well, and I found the mix profession and concise.

Thanks for sharing!

Loved how the vocals were double tracked. She did a good job keeping them fairly alike and they give a nice stereo effect panning them hard left/right.

No noise or pops that I can find on this one, LOL. Keep up the good work!

I like this one the best among the ones you've posted with Jubilee. This one really connects with me melodically. Radio quality iMHO.

Hi Marty,

this is very nice in every respect: Great composition, good backing-track (only remark: I think there are RealDrums that would fit the song more smoothly), and the vocals are amazing.

Really cool stuff, like it a lot.

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi Steve: yes we were getting much better at recording by the time we got to this song.
We Started about a year ago with a goal of releasing a 4 song EP in Nov this year. Lots of learning as we went along.

Hey Stefan...Interesting comment about the drums. Jubilee often said she thought the drums had too many "random" fills. She was after me to remove some of them.
But I thought they were ok and never did anything about it.

But now you have my curiosity bug on high alert to review the drums....

I guess this mixing business is never done and one can always think of something to do better.

Thanks so much to all.

This is really beautiful!! She has a great voice....beautiful tone and tons of emotion!! I LOVE THIS!!!! Take care. Greg

Outstanding, every single part.

Jubilee is masterful, and shines with her beautiful vocal skills.

The mix doesn't get in the way of anything.

Everything about this is quality, quality, quality.

Great song! Love it. My fav of the ones I've heard so far. I'm listening on headphones and I had to get used to the left/right panning - more used to a center vox with left/right doubles on sides instead of just harmony coming in on center. So I had trouble making out all the lyrics. The second time I listened (not surprised and focused on the panning) I read the lyrics as the song was playing and I liked the "different" sound. Still, I'm wondering if you couldn't get that same ethereal feeling with a more standard doubles panning approach but production is such a personal choice. If whatever genre she's going for uses this technique then I'd keep it, if not I might rethink it. One thing for sure, I'm a fan of her voice and songwriting.

Mr. Marty,

Has a very R.E.M. type sound to this song; nice harmonies, and strong vocal. Part of me was looking for maybe a bit of a change up in the latter choruses or maybe bridge . . but as it is it works very well. Terrific listen!

Best regards,

Deej

Nice job, Marty
I listened on a non-technical basis lol and enjoyed it.
Great song, great mix and great voice.
Thanks for posting
