Looking forward to reading the pdf....

Great listen and a fine addition to our SC playlist.

Hey J&B,

Thank you. Appreciate the listen and the comments a lot. Bouncy and upbeat seems to be something that I can work with. Not sure why. It just seems to work out that way.

All the best to you both,
Noel

Top stuff Noel.
the lyric structure an analysis is a good template for those who struggle to break out of ABA.

Great song, well written, super mix, very nice performance.
No matter how much we think we know about this craft of songwriting, there's always things to be learned, relearned, and new ways of putting light on things. I very much appreciate your work in putting together your documentation on creating this fine song. It is so clearly laid out that you should probably consider writing a book on the subject, if you haven't already. Thanks,

Kenny

Nice how the opening 2 lines in all three verses set up...

"All I want to do
Is to stay home lovin' you"

Well done! REALLY nice how you get "right to the point", too...

That bridge would fit perfectly in Tin Pan Alley.. (especially with "Harlequin and Columbine"... uniquely done!)

The lead guitar sounds like it was custom played for your song. (did you add the harmony notes at the end of that??? - if so, nice job!!)

What a nice touch the echoes are!!! And super job on the harmony vocal... Such confidence in the entire vocal!!! Strong.

The mix is excellent. So good I didn't even think about it the first few listens... that is a testament!

I enjoyed reading your discussion of how you went about creating this. (You are definitely a teacher!)

floyd,

Thank you for taking time to comment so thoroughly! I appreciate it a great deal.

Brent's lead guitar Realtrack is compiled from multiple generations. He did the harmony in some of the generations.

How I do it...

When I put a song together, I work in BIAB as long as possible and I always regenerate the music each time I play through it. By the time I head over to Realband, I would have generated the song between 50 - 100 times. If any of those generations have segments of memorable music that I can use for instrumental hooks, I always save that generation to a file so that I can import it into Reaper when I finally get there. What you are hearing with the lead is the final compilation of the above multiple generations.

Thanks again!
Noel

Going back for another (3rd) listen.

Top job (again)

Trev


Hey Trev,

Good to see you. Third listen? Thank you for that! I appreciate it. I also appreciate your comments. The harmony is courtesy of Melodyne. All I did was to use a bit of 4-part harmony theory and adjusted the notes accordingly. Melodyne is such great software.

All the best,
Noel

A very nice song Noel and has such a nice positive feel to it, as is with all your songs. Great pro production throughout, love the echo effect as well.

Charlie,

I'm glad the document was useful. I don't have a single approach to writing a song. That being said, though, if the pressure was on and I needed to get a song done in a couple of days, I'd most likely use the approach I outlined in Walk With Me. I find this particular approach the most productive because I don't need any idea in mind at the beginning and it always leads me to a completed song.

Thanks for your support (again).
Noel

These lyrics are really clever on so many levels, and I know its because of all the time you've invested in the art of effective lyric writing. (It's paying off in a big way!) I especially like the line
Quote:
"If you were a season I know you'd be summer"


Another recurring theme in your work (as opposed to so many other forum songs) is that other songs sound like they'd be something I might hear in a club, whereas your songs consistently sound like something I'd hear in a Broadway production or Hollywood musical... maybe even a "chick flick". Is that on purpose, or has it just worked out that way?

I also note that you've provided a write-up of how you developed the song! Thanks for that! You know I always like to learn from the masters!


Hi Pat,

Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it a great deal.

I'm hardly a master! All I do is read books, listen to others and use the lenses they offer to give me a means of analyzing what others have done over the decades. There is so very much that I don't know and probably will never know!

In relation to a Broadway sound, I sometimes hear that too. For many of my songs, I imagine a scene on a stage and I write lyrics to go with that unfolding scene. Whatever the scenario is, that imagined scene becomes the 'primary moment' of the song.

  • For example: In "Don't Want To Go", I imagined Columbine and Harlequin in a stage setting. The lighting was dimmed and there was an orange glow filtering through the window on stage right. They were lying in bed. Columbine was asleep and Harlequin had just put the alarm on his mobile phone onto snooze. That was the song's 'moment'. Everything developed from there.

Maybe this is what's coming through. I don't know. Also, the use of AABA form is one that's been used a great deal theatrically.

Thanks again... now if only I could be half as creative as you, I'd have it made!

All the best,
Noel

Hey Kenny!

Thank you for that. I like learning and for the last ten years my focus has been on coming to terms with lyrics. It's been a long slow road for me but I think I'm making a bit of headway these days.

I really appreciate your comments.

All the best,
Noel

A well written and performed song, Noel, a very poppy commercial sound.

I like the structure too, very effective to have that short instrumental break after that first AABA section.

Noel,
Very enjoyable - the bridge really "lifts" the song.
Many thanks for taking the time to go through your writing process - you are very clear and far more disciplined than I in all the thought that goes into your song`s creation - its a step-by-step guide I`ll try to learn from!

Hi Musiclover!

Hope things are going well over in Ireland for you. Thanks for passing your thoughts on about the production. As I've said many times over the years, it's the bit I find the hardest. By the end of a song, I have no idea what's good, bad or ugly - my brain seems to go numb. Maybe one day I'll learn how to jump that hurdle... in the meantime, I'll just keep on practising and posting songs smile

Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Regards,
Noel
