I agree with everything that has been said thus far.
Congrats on your tenth anniversary.
This is your best to date IMHO. Your vocal was perfect for this song but your lyrics took it over the top!
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

What a beautiful song! The lyrics are so heart warming and wonderfully thought out. I am sure that your wife really loved this song. Thanks for sharing this intimate song with all of us here! Ember, I`m glad you liked this...its actually a revised version of a song I wrote to accompany a video made last year. I expect there`s a response from my wife on Facebook where I have to post songs I really want her to hear! Robert

"The language of impressionistic poetry wrapped in a musical texture that was both haunting and intriguing fascinated my imagination. "
Not much to add after that.
Congrats on the 10th and were I (Bud) a writer of your skills I would write one for Janice this very minute.
Kudos also on the arrangement and mix. Very nice.
Superb.

Kenny Thank you very much, Kenny! Robert Hello, Robert
Congratulations on your anniversary! Very beautiful production! Your vocal is very pleasant as usual. The instruments of the accompaniment has somewhat the feeling of Asia, it's very fantastic. Also, the fusion with American folk song feel is exquisite. Very creative and full of originality. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
All the best for 2018!
Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, I`m pleased you heard a bit of Asian influence in there;I appreciate your thoughtful review and ongoing support! Robert

Robert,
Congratulations to you and your wife on your 10th anniversary!
I found this composition of yours to be quite mesmerising. The language of impressionistic poetry wrapped in a musical texture that was both haunting and intriguing fascinated my imagination. In addition, every now and then it seemed to me that there was glimmer of Siam in the melody you were singing. You held my attention throughout.
A pleasantly haunting journey.
All the best for 2018! Noel Robert, as I listened it occurred to me how rapidly your production skills are improving. I am noticing a lot of little fine touches showing up in your mixes ....Torrey I feel a little bit of the Cat Stevens vibe going on here in the arrangement, which is a great thing in my book.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.... I whole-heartly agree with all the sentiment expressed by Noel, Torrey, David... This is a beautiful song, delivered well - the love included is obvious. The production builds nicely. The lyric is cinematic. I always enjoy listening to your music... few more so that this one... I am truly enjoying your music journey, Robert... hope it continues for many years to come... fj Floyd makes my day! Many thanks for keeping an ear to my songs. Robert

J&B J&B, The lyrics were the result of many months thinking about how to make a portrait that would be unique to my wife - and also hint at her culture, which was part of the attraction for me. Glad you felt I did good! Just set up new Rokit monitors and can tell they are going to change mixes - no more guessing if the headphone take is good enough. Cheers, Robert

Robert,
You've excelled. This is just so creative, poetry put to song.
Absolutely perfect in every way, musically it takes you on a beautiful a journey.
Thoroughly enjoyable, and sensitively beautiful. The girl with the Siam eyes is very lucky, indeed.

Hi, Robert.
I found the lyrics to be wonderful, but a bit hard to hear over the guitar.
The arrangement had a unique sound - sparse, and driven by the high arpeggiating guitar - which was very cool.

Beautiful song Robert!! I'm sure your wife loves it-I think my wife would have appreciated a song from me when we were at the 10 year mark. Now it's "Oh yeah...it's OK....but you repeat that part too much". Love the arrangement and the mix. Great song! Take care. Greg

Just had another listen, (after all the production work I find it helpful to leave songs be for a week or so) this time on new monitors. Unusually for me, I actually think I got the vocals/instrument volume balance right on this one, but do hear places where the intonation is a bit slurred. Yes that`s a nice high strung guitar track. Robert

Greg Greg, Thanks for that; yes, I did get a " beautiful" comment, though my wife also pointed out the correct pronunciation is SeeAm rather than the "western" Siam I used! Cheers, Robert Yes, beautiful haikus set to music. Marty, That`s a really cool comment - thank you! Robert

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
