Don't know how the copyright act works overseas – in Norway lyrics are free after 70 years. Please, tell me if I do anything wrong. Not a traditional song, but it sounds familiar… Already thinking of new vocal ideas – guess I have to try them out in a couple of weeks or months ;-) Here is what it sounds like today: THE GOOD-MORROW BiaB tracks used: Style is _SPECTER.STY RealTracks in style: ~733:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 060 (A:in-2) RealTracks in style: 936:Piano, Acoustic, Rehearsal Waltz Sw 140 RealTracks in style: ~993:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryWaltzGrittyPicked Sw 140 RealTracks in style: 2558:Cello, Background SlowSwing Sw 065 RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: BluesMondaySw8^02-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat And the poem: The Good-Morrow BY JOHN DONNE I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den? ’Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be. If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee. And now good-morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear; For love, all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room an everywhere. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown, Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mixed equally; If our two loves be one, or, thou and I Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die. MacUser!

Your vocal is absolutely fantastic and I love the effects you on it. This is a keeper. Seated at the restaurant, He "Darling can you say something that makes my heart beat faster"?

Yes, I think this is a great idea, and nicely executed...you chose style/approach/instrumentation that fit so naturally..thank you for putting your creativity into this...especially liked the line that you spoke/sung concurrently...maybe Donne didn’t have any skilled musician buddies to work with??

So I tried to extend his brilliant idea in 12/8 for the chorus, and ended up with Hey Good-Morrow ;-) MacUser!

The words in the poem came very much alive to me during this process – someone once told me that a soaring cello is the the most beautiful instrument in the world – and in BiaB I found a RT-cello that sounded great – not too much, but enough to bring a different dimension to the arrangement. Thanks for listening! MacUser!

You did a fantastic job making some very dense prose enjoyable. I'm super impressed by all the aspects of the song - it was a very fun listen. The doubling at "And now good-morrow" was especially cool. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
