Our new song ECHO is a cowrite by me and Greg Johnson. Thank you Greg! It is based on a true story. Greg is a wonderful writer, vocalist and producer.
The only BIAB track he used is the guitar solo.......RT 2448. The guitar is Picked Acoustic from Native Instruments, the Fretless is Iconic Bass Jaco from Orange Tree Samples, and the synth pad is from Omnisphere.
Thank you for watching. We hope you enjoy it. Josie
This Is brilliant !!, and yea I love the picked guitar. Lovely lyrics and video you guys have done Amazing !!.
well done! I hear Backing vocals is that you Josie ?. if not it should be !.
Thanks
Greg and I thank you very much! No, I'm not singing on this one. That's sweet to say. I thought Greg nailed it and I didn't hear the need to be on there just to be on.
Wow, what a pretty tune. I’m such a fan of Greg’s soft, warm vocals (and they sing here) . . . but more so the wonderfully perfect lyrics he often writes—and here, a collaboration that shines on both your writing talents—impressive. What an excellent collaboration—outstanding work!
Beautiful touching cinematic story. Great vocals, liked those echos also. The arrangement is simple but very effective, even though I was waiting for some galloping drums to join in
This is excellent Josie! You can't go wrong working with Greg! He is a top talent with such a pure voice, especially for a tune like this! Admiration to you both on a wonderful song! Thanks, Torrey
Oh, my. When a saw a collab with Josie and Greg I knew we were in for a masterful treat. Chills and more chills with each passing measure. What a beautiful write and such a wonderful production.
A lovely mix of warm voice and sentimental story telling. The high hat & tambourine parts seem rather too prominent and mechanical in my headphones. Otherwise it's an arrangement and mix that well fit the narrative.
What a great job on all accounts. From the excellent writing to the recording that was exceptional. This is the kind of song a songwriter hopes to be able to write. It hits the heart.
Outstanding job.
My question from the song..... How did she end up in a wheelchair, or does it even factor into the story?
BTW: second listen is on good buds.... really nice soundscape.
I couldn't help but think about how this parallels the Michael Martin Murphy song Wildfire in so many ways.

Beautiful song. The acoustic guitar is gorgeous. The music and lyrics are great together, and well-performed lyrics.
I would adjust the tambourine (is there hi-hat there too?). It sticks out a bit too much and grabs one's attention away from the overall sound, imo. I'd try softening it with eq, a eq with a high shelf eq rolled up until you hear the sound soften a bit. I'd also lower the volume a bit. Just my opinion, everybody's got one.
On behalf of Greg and myself to all of you who listened and commented on this song:
Greg was very busy and my big sister passed away shortly after this song was posted. I'm through that rough patch now and want to say thank you to each of you.
I agree with Frankp above... tambourine could use some taming... That said, this is a terrific song & production, and Greg's vocal performance is Fabulous... Really fine music...
This is a very melodic song. Great lead vocal and mix. I would like to hear the background vocals just a little bit higher because they really add to the mix. Great work.
