But we definitely welcome it! A nicely balanced sound. Cool vocals and backing vocals.
Keep them songs coming!

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie.

It's good to see you again. Hope all is progressing well over in the northern hemisphere! Thank you for listening to my latest song and taking the time to comment. Appreciate the feedback.

All the best,

Great work, all around.

You tend to push the envelope with your rhythmic patterns, and I think that it came off a bit less forced in this song. (I don't mean to make that sound like a backhanded compliment, sorry).

So upbeat and cheerful. I don't know how you do it, but keep at it! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Boy "we" are lucky in deed. Simply thank you.

Hi again, DE.

Thank you for the above. I sincerely appreciate your comments. When I started out with BIAB, I got stuck a few times and a number of people on here helped out. Mac, who hasn't been around for about a year and a half, was awesome. It's my turn to do my bit now. These forums are that kind of place. I'm glad that my posts are useful for you smile

All the best,
Noel

Hey Trevor,

Thanks for the review. I'm not quite sure how to reply! LOL! Sometimes I get lucky when I write a song and sometimes I don't. Sounds like this was one of the lucky times. I appreciate your giving me some of your day and having a listen.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. It must be about time for another Videotrack post in Users Showcase... it's been a while...

Hey David,

Thank you for coming in for a visit. It didn't sound like a backhanded compliment to me at all. I simply go where the songs take me. One thought that always gives me hope is something Pat Pattison once said at a seminar.... "Remember that 90% of Bob Dylan's songs are not his best 10%". The math says it all!

Thanks again,
Noel

I really like this Noel, especially the lyrics. Very very "visual." Great job. I also like the one that comes right after this, called when I Wake Up in the Morning. That is quite an outstanding production.

Hi David,

Thanks for passing through the thread and stopping to have a listen. I appreciate it smile

"When I Wake Up In The Morning" was a co-write with Steve Young. I don't know if you've heard any of his music on the forum but he's one of the best arrangers on Users Showcase. His work never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for taking the time...

Regards,
Noel

Way to go, Noel !

This is a bit of a departure from the norm for you - but it's still great!

Good song - the instrumentation is amazing.

Hey Bob,

It's good to see you smile No such thing as 'late to the party' in my neck of the woods. The door is always open!

Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it.

All the best,
Noel

Hi Curt,

Thank you! In all honesty, I couldn't write any of this stuff if it weren't for Band In A Box and Realband. Every time I hit "generate/play" in BIAB, I'm left amazed at what Dr Gannon and his team has created. 2006 was the year I accidentally stumbled onto PG Music. What a GREAT year that was for me!

Regards,
Noel
