Alan,
Beautiful N.string ballad. Arrangement and mix shines!
I stumbled upon Jim's post with lyrics. I think they might work very well on this.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Really nice Al and very cinematic...hope you have it on Songtradr.

PS Did add a separate stick track to put the verb on?


Hi Folks ...

That is so nice of you to say. Thank you so much! Someday I hope I'll really get to know the deeper offerings of BIAB.

Re the stick ... no, I didn't bring in an outside track. I EQ'ed the BIAB drum track such that the sidestick was dominant. I then added a moderate amount of plate reverb and the tiniest amount of delay to it and then synched it back into the the other tracks. Took me about half an hour to do so. I think the reverb on the sidestick adds a whole new dynamic to the overall sound.

Wishing you both the very best.

Alan

I want to apologize for being so absent from the forum. Also, I will be candid that this part of the post is kind of a generic “form letter” to my old and new forum friends.

In brief, work is very hectic right now and I am having a hard time keeping up with the forum and even writing new songs. There is also a lot of new material hitting the boards—more than I can listen to and reply. People are on a roll!

Instead of backing away from the forum I want to stay involved by just giving the equivalent of a “like” as opposed to full-fledged commentary.

This way, I can just keep listening, and enjoying and reply with a simple LOVE IT or something like that.

I do listen, love your stuff and really want to continue following those who are so dedicated to encouraging others, even if it is only with one word.

Hope this makes sense, thanks for your artistry and forgive my brevity going forward with massive time constraints.

Also forgive me if you see this message more than once until I know I have covered all my bases.

Peace!!

smile


Thank you, David.

Glad you enjoyed the song. I always appreciate your comments.

As far as I am concerned, no apology is needed. I'm well aware, from personal experience, how those things go. There many times it tales all my attention to care for Di. So, when you do get a chance to comment, as simple two or three word comment is just fine. And if you don't have the time at all, no problem. Friendship and appreciation are based on frequency of comments' Rather, on the person himself/herself. I consider you a good friend. So, we're good, no matter what your time dictates.

Wishing you success at your efforts and the best to you and your family.

Alan

Howdy Tangmo.

Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate those very kind words. In fact, I am putting together songs for such an album ... plus a couple of other projects.

Again, many thanks. Best to you ...

Hi Alan,

Travelling is still keeping me away from the forum more than I'd like, but I just had
time to play this one of yours.

It's dusk here in England, with a hint of a sunset and I just put up my feet and
drifted away for a few minutes. After a busy day with the grandchildren, this track is more
relaxing than a glass of wine, yoga, or anything else you care to mention.

Many thanks for that.

Take care my friend and all the best.

ROG.

Wow - you really did a great job on this one smile I love the velvety textures on this. It is so calm, and almost mysterious. The nylon guitar adds a lot of character, and I found the mix to be concise and professional too.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Languid, melodic playing, liked it all but especially the turnarounds. I will own a nylon one day, when I can find an inexpensive, short-scale, thin-necked one that sounds good.

Hello Alan,

This is a very sweet melancholic song. Nearly wept...
I love nylon guitars, that sound is so impressive.
Used it a lot in older songs. Think of picking it up again, thanks to your song.

Have a nice day,
Hans

I'd like make a group "Thank You!" to all who have commented so nicely on this song since my last comment.

DI's health has tanked again, rendering her more disabled than before. Thus, much of my time is dedicated to helping her. I may occasionally post some songs that have already been recorded but not yet posted. But there will probably nothing "new", per se, for a while. Will drop in for a listen as I can and leave a comment or two.

Again, many thanks! I truly appreciate your kind comments. Wishing everyone the very best.

Alan
