You Made The Tide TurnI composed this song originally in 1987. I wrote the lyrics for a Vocaloid Avanna version in 2012. And now finally a version with a real vocalist, Miira did great job, once again. When I received her vocal track, I had to completely change my intended arrangement to a more acoustic one to better match her smooth voice. But luckily it is so easy task with BIAB. The new arrangement and Miira's voice have really lifted my old song to a new level. RealDrums: BossaBrushes RealTracks: Acoustic Bass #2474 Acoustic Guitar #368 Electric Guitar #2650 Nylon Guitar #2718 Acoustic Piano #887 Harp #2773 Fiddle #1760 MIDI Strings (-MICHEL1.STY) VST: SampleTank3 (CinemaStrings) Vocals: Miira Lyrics: How could you know, there's a new world growing in me I'm anchored by your words, I'm caged but I don't want a release. How could you know, your sailor eyes have hypnotized me you unnerve me, but I don't want to find inner peace. When you left I waited in the wintery port I couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't feel drifted on a soulless raft in a frosty stream. One evening by the Galway Lighthouse a kiss woke me up from this bad dream you made the tide turn you rescued me with your guiding beam. How could you know, there's a long path of history I'm the child of my roots, that I want to cut off to be right with you. How could you know, fathers of this island have taught me the norms but you are the only virtue I'll ever want to pursue. [Chorus] [Chorus] Follow my creek, be its lasting thread don't let me sink into dark waters propose to me under Kerry Mountains give your breath to our daughters. Fill up my sails with completeness build on the rock of my devotion climb with me to the cliffs of Moher my love is the size of the ocean. - Janne

Nice arrangement
I like the singer - the overall feel of the song is that of a non-native english speaker singing, i think this is a little bit because of the prosody of the lyric - for example how "hypnotized" is sung
Ok I see the name Miira so my hunch must be right. I get a kind of mixture between Bjork and the Abba ladies (Chiquatita)
Is the solo your playing?
Good song :-)

Thanks for liking the singer and the song You are right about non-native english, she's a Finn, just like me, so that should explain any lyrical oddities  No, I'm not playing solo, it's BIAB generated with this realtrack - #2650 Guitar, Electric, Background DreamyPopBalladFillsBrent Ev 085 Janne

Hi Janne,
What a beautiful melody! This is delightful to listen to. It's made all the more enjoyable by Miira's singing. It's so very easy on the ears. She has such a great quality to her voice.
I'm so full of admiration for your ability to write so well in another language. I've read a couple of times on web sites and in books that Finnish is regarded by many as THE most difficult language to learn. There is absolutely no way that I could write a song in anything other than English. How you manage to do it so convincingly, I don't know. That's what I call talent.
All the best,
Noel
