Here is a new/old song. This song was born in 2012 when I was searching through the BIAB styles. I came across the Emerald style. I have played this song in my daily rotation since then. Robert, Ray and I were passing around ideas and I presented this as a potential for a new song with lyrics. Robert decided to take a break so Ray and I developed it into this song. Ray came up with a very cool lyric and we made some changes to the backtrack.
After the backtrack was developed we sent it to Janice and Bud and they graciously joined the project.

Emerald

Lyrics by Ray Cochrane
B1
Only if you're looking
Yes, only if you look
There's a point
In the distance
I see you aren't there
No, you're not with me.

A2
I don't want to go
You can't make me
I don't care to see
What it took
You're eyes open
Take in the pain
Once again

B2
Only if you're seeking
Yes, only if you seek
There's a point
Just an instant
I see nothings there
No, not you or me.

A3
I don't want to go
You can't make me
I don't want to know
What you know
Eyes wired open
Absorb the pain
Once again

B3
Only if you're looking
Yes, only if you look
There's a point
A single instance
I see you're not there
No, you're not with me.

A4
I don't want to look
You can't make me
It isn't time
It's really not
See it's a crime
Take all the pain
Once again
Once again

B4
Only if you're looking
Yes, only if you look
There's surrender
Acquiescence
I see you aren't there
No, you're not with me.

These were the original BIAB song tracks.

Nice write, Ray! And solid work on the bass too.

Scott, I always say this about your playing, about how melodic you are. Nicely done, love that part with the two guitars talking to each other.

Janice sounds lovely as she always does! Great vocal and harmonies.

Really well done you three!
Posted By: jannesan Re: Emerald - 09/02/21 11:53 AM
Mysteriously sad and painful lyrical landscape. The organ and Scott's guitar create nice colors for it and Janice's intense interpretation give it the necessary roughness. Very successful collaboration.

Janne
Posted By: BabuMusic Re: Emerald - 09/02/21 12:40 PM
Oh, good God, there are so many amazing aspects to talk about here. Just on my 3rd listen now. Love this melody --so creative with so many influences to mention. Janice (well I say this all time) can make anything sound outstanding. So good and I love those harmonies and her decisions on where they should go. Very well constructed vocals. Ray is such a good bassist, playing what needs to be said on the low end while creatively dancing with the lyric, and I know he is so good at making everything click together. It doesn't get any better than Bud when it comes to studio work.

Scott, this is such a good song. So glad you dusted it off and assembled such a great team to help with the polishing.

Janice, Ray and Scott,

Whoever decided to put that organ in here was inspired! It really gives this such a soulful vibe!

I love to hear Janice doing songs outside of the Country genre...just she really delivered on this!

Nice clean guitar work Scott!

Ray your guitar and bass work are sublime!

Thanks, Torrey

Posted By: musician17 Re: Emerald - w/Janice, Ray and Scott - 09/06/21 04:34 PM
Oh boy. From the first Janice entry, I "sat up and listened". Her voice sounds fresher, more direct and sad and sincere than ever.

The guitar is achingly melancholic.

One of the most beautiful, lyrical songs I've heard on this forum. It could be in the charts instantly (only it's too good for modern charts, somehow, I feel). I love well done melancholic songs, and this has everything. Sincerest congratulations.

P.S. LOVE Janice's accent on "it's" from "it's a crime" in A4. And the lyrics ... Ray, you've outdone yourself.
Posted By: beatmaster Re: Emerald - w/Janice, Ray and Scott - 09/06/21 04:43 PM
Excellent song , arrangement and mix just blends in with the vocals .

You all should be pleased with this one , I liked the feel due to the strong bass line , In my opinion !!. Bass gives a good guide to a good melody.

Great vocals top it all off !

Thanks

This was totally unexpected. Excellent teamwork! Nice laid back Indie / Folk tune. Everyone has their own space, yet sound as a team/whole. To me, that is the "prize won" in a collaboration. Solid write and performance. Janice - wonderful vocals, you took this to whole new dimension. Bud, A+ mix. What fascinates me is to witness new creations taking shape, powered by people so far apart and so different. Good one! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.


P.S. Sorry late for the party, storm related issues.
Posted By: Birchwood Re: Emerald - 09/08/21 09:23 AM
Wonderful!

I see Spirit level is expanded and Bud and Janice joined. You are getting nearly unbeatable!
Very nice song, sensitive lyrics, very well sung and a satin leadguitar!
And amazing how everyone is working together nowadays.
I see I stayed behind on that path... But let me keep my focus on this performance.
It's just great, I said on SoundCloud. And that is what it is.

I enjoyed it very much,
