Song Seven Seas Of Solitude is a story about feeling as an outsider on Earth, that you don't understand the world and the world doesn't understand you. I wrote this song in 2008 and have mixed it several times before, naturally now used the latest realtracks. But still I prefer the MIDI guitars from my old Roland which I used the first time, actually the only time I have used its sounds. This song is kind of a prototype pop song I like to make and also to listen to, realizing my slogan "Mostly harmless pop music"  Instruments used: RealDrums NashvilleEven16 Realtracks: #700 Electric Bass #2488 Acoustic Bass Bowed #1422 Acoustic Piano #1949 Acoustic Piano soloist #695 Electric Guitar Arp #1850 Electric Guitar Muted #2448 Electric Guitar Background #2334 String Quartet #1856 Cello #2291 Horns #2019 Tenor Sax Soloist MIDI guitars (Roland XV-5050) from style PW_PAUL.STY MIDI strings (GPO) from style PW_PAUL.STY Bridge Melody: Forte DXi, VSTi GPO Vocals: Supreme Tracks, Cantus VSTi Lyrics:The world didn't value my gift I was a stranger adrift not a special loved one, faith didn't lift envy was bitter and swift. From the angels received instructions for building an ark the court room was deaf to defence like Cain I had my curse mark. Condemned to live in exile I was an outcast subdued, sailing the vast seven seas of my solitude. I never took root in this land starved like a rose in the sand I did not want to soil my clean hand in the war I did not understand. [Chorus] [Chorus] ---- Janne

Beautiful and lush arrangement. The rise and fall of the vocal melody was nice and the song really hit it's stride during the higher energy sections of the vocals. It was all good but I thought those sections meshed so well with the music and were exceptional.
Really nice. I enjoyed my listen and hope to hear from you again soon. Great job on the mix.
Charlie

Vocals by Supreme Tracks -had to look that up - do you give them a draft vocal and get a finished version back?
Anyway liked it, nice song well produced with an interesting feel.

Thanks Charlie for your nice comment, I'm really glad to hear that you liked those vocal sections, I had to work hard to harness the dynamics of the vocals without losing the energy. Nice to know that I succeeded in the mix. Thanks Sergio, I like your songs too, they have beautiful chords and melodies. Thanks Peter, I usually finish my songs with a Vocaloid, computer vocalist, and then I sent them the whole song, instrumental version and the vocal track separately. They sent me a rough mix first, then I can request changes, if necessary, and when I'm satisified with the singing, I ask them to send the raw vocal file(s). Thanks Videotrack for enjoying my song --- Janne

A very pleasant song, with some excellent atmospheric chord changes, plus a good mix. Nice work. I'm not sure about the water noises though!

I really like your chord progression and melody here. A nice change from most pop progressions.
And great mixing chops.
A fine song all around
much enjoyed!

Thanks John for your nice comment. Sorry for the water torture  Thanks J&B, atmospheric and lush are words I had in mind while arranging Thanks Gruverider for liking, hopefully my chord progressions are not too complicated for normal pop ears I like to add spice and surprises with unusual chording, but of course it may sound gimmickry for some. --- Janne

Really enjoyable song!! The music is really fresh and interesting. Reminds me of the 60's/70's, particularly got a Camel vibe. Very nice work!! Take care. Greg
