Hi there,

I am a BIAB user from Germany and this is my first post here. It's a christmas song reflecting about feelings of loneliness during Corona lockdown. Hope you like the song and if so, pls also spend me a like or comment on youtube Thanks a lot

All playback instruments and backing vocals come from BIAB. I added some bells, additional drums and pad sounds and, of course, the lead vocal. Looking forward to your comments

Edit: Now also on Soundcloud:

This is really good. Very pro sounding.

Excellent use of BIAB. A well-written song. Beautiful vocal.

And a good mix. Nice video, too. The sax at the end was a nice touch...

Welcome to the Showcase.

Yes, this is beautiful in spite of the sadness. It gives a wonderful sense of hope. Love it. So well done and such a good write. Really cool use of the BGVs BiaB offers.

oops, the reply button does not do what I expected. I guess I have to use the quote button to have my reply attached to the original comment?

Thanks Babu, and especially for your comment on youtube. I am following you now

Thanks a lot for listening and your praise, am very happy you like it. Good that you mentioned the sax...it is also from BIAB, of course, and originally I had a sax intro and solo in the middle which I later replaced with the bell melody to provide a little bit more of a Christmas vibe. But in the coda it fits perfectly.

Indeed. I agree. Nicely done. Smooth vocal.

What a beautiful vocal. I just love the tone of your voice. Lovely song and perfect timing. With the covid problems it is very relatable . Welcome to the forum.

Great job, got a Thom Bell, Philadelphia soul vibe to the arrangement. Vocalist was excellent.

Cool, that never entered my mind. Thanks for this connotation. Vocals are really great, agreed. I hired a vocalist for that.

Thanks for the praise. Really appreciate it. I will tell Pauline who sang it for me. I am only the composer and producer If you can please write your comment on youtube so Pauline can see it, too.

Very pretty song!! Singer has a sweet voice, and the song is melodic with a nice catchy chorus! Very well done in every way! Great first post!! WELCOME!! Take care. Greg

Very nice work!!

Thanks Greg. It really encourages me to go on sharing my music.

Thanks a lot, Don

Awesome, what a beautiful song!!! The vocal is bright and spot on, music is just right, and yes it is a good Christmas song!!! certainly we will be hearing more from you and looking forward to it.

Your comment sounds like music to my ears, Cliff. Thank you so much

This sounds great to me! Very soothing.

Happy Holidays over there!

Thanks a lot, David. I am glad you like it.

Just to let you know for further communication: I changed my user name here from Senhor Pescador to Uwe Fischer...same guy, different name

My song CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU has been translated into Dutch by an Italian singer named Gabriella Massa who is a newcomer in the field of German Schlager. How cool (or weird) is that? It's my first song ever that someone else translated. Am very happy with it. Find her version using my BIAB playback here:

Really like the sound and the mix.

Really nice, it all hangs together very well==composition, production, BIAB elements, vocal. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm glad you posted this. Great work! Merry Christmas!

Simply sweet song. Very cool about the translation, Uwe. A very good write! The production is perfect where everything floats as a bed for that beautiful voice of Pauline. You and the rest of the folks on this forum really made a BIG difference in this otherwise crazy year. Merry Christmas, Uwe! Glad for me it's not without y'all.

Thank you David, and happy Christmas to you and your family & friends!

And I am glad you told me! After so many years making music just for myself it feels good to get such positive feedback.

Hey Marty, once again thanks for your kind words. Since you mention Pauline I would love her to know about your praise. So if you have a minute would you mind to share your comment again also on youtube so she can read it for herself? I am sure she will be very happy.
