Absolutely no one does this period stuff better than you.

So relaxing.

Perfect in every respect.

This is just very classy throughout.

A solid tune all together - thanks for sharing smile


Hi Deryk,

Thanks for passing through the thread and having a listen. Appreciate it.

All the best,

Nice instrumentation and an excellent mix. The solo is well done. Your vocal is a real standout in this. So well recorded, so clear and so "right" in the way it sits perfectly in the mix.

That piano does have a really nice sound...

Very well done!

Hey floyd.

Thank you for the listen and the analysis! As you know, Tin Pan Alley and the AABA song format are styles that I feel really at home with.

With this song, I had a little help from BIAB's demos. I'm aiming to write a brief note for the Songwriting forum to explain how I did this. The chord charts used for demos can provide a really useful starting place when it comes to making a song and the creativity well is running a bit dry. That was the case here. After loading the demo, I modified it to suit, settled on a style I liked and then played it over and over and over until words and images started coming to mind. Then it was just a matter of co-ordinating and expanding those thoughts into song sections.

Thanks again for taking the time. I always appreciate your visit!

All the best,
Noel

Your excellent voice, the ability to create beautiful melodies and especially the positive lyrical landscape have found their natural home in this classic jazz (Cole Porter) arrangement context. The simple arrangement flows nicely.

Hi Donna,

Thank you for taking time out to listen. The "old crooner style" is one that I especially like. I appreciate your comments.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for dropping by. Like you, now that I think about it, I reckon that this could work with a big band backing. The thought never occurred to me because I was fully focused on using EZ Keys. If I get a spare few minutes one day, I'll fire a band in BIAB and see how it goes. Thanks for suggesting this!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel,

I listened to this the other day but didn't have time to comment. Doesn't hurt to give it another spin though smile

Really well done! Such a "feel good", uplifting vibe happening.

Love the solo, and the piano sounds great! Makes me wish I had bought it when it was on sale a while back.

Your vocals sound good too, just the right amount of processing for them to sit in the mix perfectly.

Nice song to start off my morning smile

Right from the get go Janice envisioned Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing in a 1940’s movie - B&W of course.

It’s a lovely melody, a sweet lyric and delivered with such feeling.

As Janice said, after her eyes glazed over, after reading the production notes, “Whatever he did the band sounds great!” smile

And Bud offers up that the band, especially the piano and trumpet, is excellent. Thanks for sharing your work flow...it was very informative and it certainly paid off.

You always bring multiple rays of hope and positive vibes to your listeners.

Thank you.

They only put quality songs in there movies back then, and this quite rightly would have been used.

well put together with a great vocal, and I loved the mix of real tracks and the ez key midi piano sound.

P.s. I bought ez keys on an offer as well, not had time to use it yet, although I now know it is an excellent buy.

Thanks


Hi beatmaster,

Thanks for comments. I really appreciate them.

You'll have fun when you get around to using the EZ Keys. I'm waiting for some of the library of different pianos to come on sale now!

All the best,
Noel

Noel,

You have such a feel for this type of music. The write and arrangement are so authentic and truly outstanding.

I also noticed that you are using the upper register of your voice more on this song - it really sounds wonderful. One of your very best performances.

Going back for another listen...

Bob

Agreed!! Love it!! I really love that old standard sound. I have played around with it and will post something soon in that vein. The solo sounds custom.....sometimes that just works so well in BIAB! Wonderful!!! Take care. Greg

Hi Joe,

Thank you! Band In A Box, opens a heap of different doorways for users like me. It's such a fantastic program. In relation to the chord progression, I had a little help from the BIAB demos -- these are a tremendous resource when creativity is flat-lining. When I get a chance, I'll write up how I used and modified one of the demos to create this song.

Thanks again for taking the time!
Noel

What a cool, catchy, bouncing song. Personally, I wouldn't change anything or have any suggestions. I likes it the way it tis!

Now, that being said...

There is such a large part of me that would love to hear it one of two different ways
1st is possibly with the old time phonograph type of sound with a bit of crackle and all. It just lends itself to it. IF that was done and someone played this as a song from that period; I would bite hook, line, and sinker.

2nd would be, as mentioned, a backdrop to a movie. I would love to see people dancing, a band playing, and a crooner doing "his thing" on a stage. I would love to also hear the sounds of the crowds sitting at their tables, and the applause at the end.

Applause well deserved either way!
