Hi all Here is a co-write I did for 50 90 with Deanna Sweidel. LISTENING TO THE RAIN Deanna is a newcomer to the 50 90 community and is blowing everyone away with her wonderful lyrics. She has already churned out over 50 lyrics since we started the challenge in mid July. I hope to set some more of her lovely lyrics to music before the three months is over. RealTracks RealTracks in style: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~363:Pedal Steel, Background Ev 085 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open RT409:Fiddle, Background George Ev 085 RT2854:Harmonica, Background CountryBalladJellyRoll Ev 085 RT3020: Ooohs and aaahs RT3017: Ooohs and aahs Lyrics: Your blue eyes so mesmerising Keeping me wide awake Listening to the rain and tryin’ tryin to control the ache The conversation is dwindling there's not much left to say Listening to the rain its tellin’ tellin' me you’ll go away CH And now I’ll hate hate the rain It’s soothing sound now remiss It forever will remind me Of the night of our last kiss My eyes blinded awash with tears Keeping me wide awake Listening to the rain Reviewing reviewing all of our mistakes Now The conversation’s over There’s nothing else left to do Listening to the rain it's tellin’ tellin' me I’m losing you CH And now I’ll hate hate the rain It’s soothing sound now remiss It forever will remind me Of the night of our last kiss Our eyes lock once again Our lips meet one last time You walk out into the rain With a heart forever mine

I had a brief moment of confusion when the song started with only one channel playing. It got my attention! You do a lot of L/R panning, and I liked most of it, but the "Aaahs" in the right ear were a bit loud on the right side... Assuming I have my headphones on correctly!  Anyway, nicely sung, great arrangement, nice harmonies, excellent mix. It deserves a few more kudos, but I'm all out of superlatives. The arrangement has some great stuff in it, and it's all very clear in the mix. There's brilliant wordsmithing, with interesting words: "remiss", "awash" and "reviewing." You might want to rethink this lyric, though: You walk out into the rain / With a heart forever mineThe object of the singer's desire is literally walking away forever, taking their heart with them: You walk out into the rain / With your heart no longer mineThat is, the singer may forever desire the other person's heart, but that heart no longer owned by them. Ownership of the heart is given by the desired, not the one doing the desiring. Really, really nice!

Joanne,
A very good classic country ballad. All sounding right in the arrangement and your vocals make already memorable lyrics shine.
Nice oohs & aahs too.
Robert

What a beautiful song, Joanne! Radio ready, I believe! I know you didn't do these particular lyrics but I just wanted to say that Deanna Sweidel is a phenomenal lyricist.  Awesome stuff!

Hello, Joanne
Very good country ballad!
Your vocal really fits this kind of love song.
I also like the lyrics.
And I also would like to attach my songs to them instinctively.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

What a tune! You did an outstanding job here. The mix is superb, and it sounds really professional. That aside, the vocal performance here is stunning and the hook is beautiful and just the right level of catchy. The harmonies on this tune are incredible too! You should be proud of this one - great work, and thanks for sharing
