#384619 - 12/17/16 02:47 PM [User Showcase] HARD BELIEVING
Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Hello everyone, This is our last forum post of 2016. I consider this one of our best ballads. It features the beautiful Eddy Dunlap pedal steel guitar RT. It wasn't easy to sing (took us quite a few takes) because the song's key wasn't really our comfort zone. But it resulted in one of our most powerful harmonies, I think. Any comments are welcome.

Loved the whole thing, but in particular the pick-up at around 1.28 - beautiful bit of production. Vocals? Maybe not in your comfort-zone, but you'd never know - both the lead vox and harmony are stunning. Very atmospheric video to complete the package. An excellent way to end the year.

The melody ( and your vocals ) are so captivating that its easy to float by the lyrics...and they are good, avoiding the big ballad cliches. To my ears this has real commercial potential. Lovely video images too. Robert

Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Thank you ROG for such a thoroughly positive comment! About the break: It was quite tempting to do this, considering the beautiful style which already had a lot of "fullness" in it. We wish you al the best and a very musical 2017.

Your vocals and harmonies are always good - and this might be one of your best! Strong. Excellent arrangement. Terrific build. Excellent mix. The piano is EQ'd nicely. Nice use of the steel (the new ones are a great addition to BIAB!). Beautiful song. Nice video! A great listen (many, in fact). Wishing you a productive 2017 (for our sake! ) fj _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

Absolutely nothing left to add to it and nothing to take away. The arrangement, vocals and both the audio and video production are spectacular. What a way to close out the year.
