I watched the video, and listened again on SC.
It is a beautiful song! I have listened and followed the story you tell.
The song is full of emotion and positive vibes.
I love the production, the piano to me sounded a little "out of the room", can't put my finger on it, but I had trouble too with my piano last time.... perhaps it's just me...
Anyway! I love your songs, your voice, your productions, and this is right there with the best I've heard.
I like your facebook page too ! Hi Fred. Thank you for taking the time to watch as well as listen on SC. I appreciate it. I didn't put any effects or anything on the piano. Just put two tracks panned right and left. Maybe they were panned a bit too hard? Trying to build up my Facebook page so thanks for that. Hi Joanne. love the lyrics, backing, vocal and production.
Not so keen on the cartoon video however.
Agree with Floyd there.
Beautiful song though!
Strong vibrato there.
Cheers. Hi Richard. Thanks. yes I can see that I am definitely going to have to redo the video and put this one down to school fees. This is really beautiful! The vocals, the arrangement, everything. One of your best we think.
Ha, ha, will check out the free Powtoon software.
R & AM. Glad to have introduced you to something you may be able to use in your wonderful videos. I am sure for the right song it can be used to good effect.

For specifically this song - I'd have liked to see you for real at the piano or somewhere singing it. The cartoon seems more lighthearted and the song sounds more poignant. jmho (I will admit here that I am completely spoiled by all the great videos you have already.)  Thanks Josie. Maybe the cartoon idea will suit a different song. I will definitely file away what I have learned for when I have something up my sleeve that will suit it. Will rethink the video. Thanks! I might consider whether the timpani is necessary. You've created a natural intensity or lift there with the melody itself, plus you've added the cello to the piano and strings (verses the first chorus). But that's just based on my expectations at that point in the song. I was not expecting timpani. Hi Lawrence. Great minds think alike! I sent the song to Floyd a few days back to get some input from him and he said exactly the same thing but I left the drum in there anyway! When I rethink video I will also rethink the timpani. It maybe is unnecessarily dramatic. Charming lyrics and beautifully sung with all the emotion that the song deserves. The minimalist arrangement is exactly right and the recording and mixing is first class.
I know from first hand experience how much time goes into animation and although I think you did well to produce it, I also think the song warrants something less frivolous than a cartoon. Maybe a bit of soft-focus slo-mo of the mother and daughter walking by the surf on the beach. OK, so that might be a bit of a cliché, but you get my drift?
Hi Roger. I am glad you enjoyed the song. I am going to rethink the video. I suppose the effort has not been wasted because I can always use what I have learned in another, as you say, more frivolous song. I'll have to think of something to write but it is not my usual style. This is an excellent song and is beautifully arranged and mixed. IMO, your best vocal yet - absolutely killer! Great job as well on the video - they can be very tough to sort out and get to the vision you see in your head as the end product. Thanks for the shout out to Josie Beck and I.  Absolute pleasure Bob. Thank YOU for giving me inspiration for my videos. You are so creative with your videos.

Josie,
A beautiful song. Well done.
Sorry you had such trouble with the S/W. I really can empathize.

Just a beautiful song! I think your lyrics here are outstanding.
The type of subject matter you've tackled here lyrically can be very difficult to navigate without coming off clichéd or sappy but I think you've done a wonderfully artful and passionate job... Eloquently stated above and little we can add it to other than it's a fine write and we very much enjoyed it. J&B

Wow, Joanne.. I can't believe I missed this one until now! This project is top-notch from start to finish!
yeah, I'm sure that you are tired of the learning curve regarding animation... but I think it turned out AMAZINGLY well! And I'm a little bit ticked that you stole my thunder, because I always figured that my first song would come with an animated video... but noooo, you and RSDEAN both had to beat me to it, so now there's no "ing" left in my long-anticipated "bling!"
I'm pretty sure this is the first showcase tune that contained timpani... so you've got a first there! Man, you're breaking new ground right and left in this project! And the timpani was used effectively IMO... sometimes they sound contrived, but I thought this application worked for me.
Regarding the TV idea inspired by Josie and Bob Dean's video: if you're gonna steal ideas, you picked the right team to zero in on! Above and beyond the song, they are both very good at the presentation! And your adaptation of the idea was very effective and added to the mood of your video (which I can't stop praising!)
Regarding the topic: some of the best songs are those that address universal themes with which we all identify... in that sense, this song is masterful! I've never heard the topic addressed in quite the same way, so your originality is right up front. I'd be willing to bet that this will be one of your most watched videos.
I think it is a most impressively managed project from start to finish! If you are half as proud of it as I am envious of it, then you are quite proud indeed!

Pat, Thank you so much. Sorry to have stolen your thunder but I have to say it is your own fault because you put me onto this animation thing in the first place! You pointed me to ToonBoom, which I looked at and it seemed like far too much work so I looked for something ‘easier’ (but I guess there is no easier in animation!) I'm pretty sure this is the first showcase tune that contained timpani... so you've got a first there! Man, you're breaking new ground right and left in this project! And the timpani was used effectively IMO... sometimes they sound contrived, but I thought this application worked for me. Thanks Pat. I like the timpani. Floyd and Lawrence both said they didn’t like it so there is definitely something skew there. The jury is still out on this one!

As I mentioned, the situation has not actually arisen in my life yet but I am ‘practicing’ for when this does actually happen to me!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
