Hi everybody, I wasn’t sure wether or not this song wouldn’t be too personal for the forum and if I should post it here at all. But there have been some very emotional declarations of love of forumm members to their wives (like recently Torrey’s masterful ‘Roll With It’), so I finally decided to present mine here, too. Everything is pretty different from what you have heard and seen from me so far, but this is me, too. We’ve had a terrible year and there were times when the question ‘Would you miss me?’ wasn’t that absurd at all, so this emotional song had to be written in that most emotional musical genre I’ve loved ever since: the Blues. And, yes, there is no video this time and, yes, the song is far too long, but I wouldn’t know where to shorten it. So here it is: WOULD I MISS YOU ? Wishing you all Happy Holidays and the very best for the year ahead - stay healthy and creative. Best regards, Stefan ====================================================== Musical details: Basic style is _MONDOR.STY (Slow Swing Blues w/ Organ ) Bass: RT 564 Guitar: 565 Guitar: RT 569 Didn’t use the following RealtTracks in style Organ: RT 673: replaced it by a real organ track played by my old fellow musician from the 70s: Bernhard ‘Ruppi’ Ruppersberg RealDrums: BluesRock128: replaced by an own drum track using MTPower Drums and some fills coming with Sennheiser Drum Mic’a Added: Back beat guitar (just threw in some MIDI chords played through Kontakt Factory Selections - Jazz Guitar) Trombones: written in the Piano Roll Window, played through Big Fish’s Vintage Horns. Me: Vocals and guitar solos (just using my Fender Strat Jeff Beck Signature and my old Fender Champ) It may sound funny that Maha who is, of course, the one I wrote this song for, did all the sound editing and the mixing, but she didn’t become tired of it, so this was okay with me, too. Like always she worked with RealBand and its reverb and dynamics plug-ins plus EazyQ parametric EQ and finally used Ozone 8 for a tiny wiff of mastering.

Stefan,
A touching, heartfelt song.
The guitar soloing is as soulful as the vocal.
And everything else is nicely done. Cool organ. Nice horns. Maha's mix is excellent.
Wishing you the best in the New Year...

Amazing!
Stefan, you are excellent bluezman! I am sure many "authentic" boys and girls from New Orleans would (are) feel a little jealous. Man, I am so grateful to be one of the first ones to hear this! Stefan, thank you for being here! Happy Holidays!
Misha.

Great stuff, you have the perfect voice for the kind of music you do, and the guitar was sweet. I could listen to a lot of this, but maybe not in seven minute doses. Sometimes shorter is more effective, but that's just one opinion. But what a great job you did, wish I could sing like that!

This is VERY cool but not as cool as hearing the other part of your voice. Have you heard/listened to Richard Clapton? he's an Australian rocker who spent a lot of time in Berlin in the 70s. His gentler stuff is very similar vocally....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC40QqfcLfM
Your guitar playing is/was perfect for the track - and a nice bit of "woman tone" too.
Cool, lovely, emotive and a great testament to your love.
Cheers

Hi Stefan,
This is a very nice, emotional sung Blues. You let me hear it some days before. Already then I liked it mutch, I only told you to shorten it with 2 minutes. You told me you couldn't, because you didn't know what to cut. And I was wrong, I can see. This story can't be shortened. Everything is in it's place. And the emotion is very well expressed by your vocals.
I think it won't be a bad idea if you do some more Bluessongs the coming year. As long as there is no more 'blues' in your life. At least I surely hope that will happen...
Hans

Stefan,
Firstly this shows you are an excellent vocalist in this genre-timing and expression plus!
The lyrics have some clever/fun metaphors to keep the affection real... and to keep us wondering where the list of miss you`s will go next!
The guitar solos are as sweet as the song`s inspiration.
Robert

Sometimes shorter is more effective, but that's just one opinion. But what a great job you did, wish I could sing like that! Hi TuneMonger, thank you so much for holding on the whole song and even more for the very kind words you found. Like I had written: I knew it was very long, but really did not know where or how to make that thing shorter. The only possibility would have been doubling the speed, but I discarded that thought immediately  Happy holidays and all the best for 2020. Take care, Stefan

Stephan, I wouldn't care if this tune was 20 minutes long! Sometimes it takes a while to properly express yourself! Great vocal with real feeling in it! Love the band you have assembled here! Clapton never asked for permission to extend a solo and you shouldn't either! Great tune! Thanks, Torrey

Cool, lovely, emotive and a great testament to your love. Hi Ray, first of all thanks a lot for your kind words on the tune. Richard Clapton? Never heard of him before. Which turned out to be a pity because there wasn't one song among those I listened to after your recommendation that didn't appeal to me a lot. Can't really judge wether or not our voices have anything in common, but if that was so, that's really nothing I would complain about Wishing you Merry Christmas and all the best for 2020, Stefan PS: After I had seen a couple of his videos I really had to make sure that my wigs collection was still complete...

Hans Thank you so much, Hans, for your kind comment. And taking the time to stand the whole tune. Well, more blues songs ... I never start with the idea that I am going to write a certain kind of song. Unlike you I nearly always start with the lyrics (or at least some ideas on what the lyrics should be about) and in the course of completing them I get the idea to what kind of music I'd like to sing the lyrics along. On the other hand: You know we got plenty of reasons these days to moan another blues tune... ;-))) All the very best en tot straks, vriend, Stefan

Hi Stefan and Maha, This is an exceptional song -- music, lyrics, arrangement, performance, mix. Everything about this is first class listening, first class entertainment and the whole thing shines brilliantly with tons of heavy-duty musical competence everywhere.  Bernhard's organ, Stefan's guitar work, BIAB's bits and pieces and Maha's mix all made me so glad that I know about this forum! I'd hate to miss out on something this brilliant! The 7 minutes just flew by! May 2020 bring lots of good things your way, Noel

Since I wasn't a Forum member before 2018 I didn't know your wonderful "Widower's Blues', but I could easily find it and, yes, I definitely can relate to this heartfelt song. It must be the saddest thing to lose one's lived one. Wishing you Happy Holidays and all the best for 2020, Stefan

Thanks Hi beatmaster, thanks for your kind comment. As to the length: I always try to keep my stuff shorter than In-a-gada-da-vida, which took the complete side of an LP then ;-))). Merry Christmas and all the best, Stefan

Whenever I read 'Australia' these days those terrible wild fires which they report about over here in every news show, come to my mind. I do hope that you're not personally affected, but I know that so many of your country-fellowmen are. So my best wishes go to you, yours and all those: Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2020. Thanks again and take care, Stefan

This is an outstanding production by any measure we can think of.
And it's all built on love and talent.
The two of us have a long relationship that makes
this song even more special.
As we've oft said soul makes a song for us irrespective of the genre.
And this production just oozes soul and sincerity...particularly with
the vocal and guitar performance. And, man, what a write!
Your use of the drums, the back beat guitar and the horns all sounded excellent
making for a stellar band.
Kudos to Maha for a great mix and how cool to have a friend onboard
for the organ part!
Superb.
Best to y'all for the holidays and new year!

Stefan... The greatest gift us human beings were ever given, aside from the gift of life -- of living -- is our hearts, our alternately joyful, troubled, ecstatic, despairing, easily broken but endlessly repairable hearts, don't you agree? And, oh, sir, have you ever exposed yours to the listeners on this User's forum. If your song, Would I Miss You, could be judged 'too personal' for play on the forum, then it could only mean that none of us had ever experienced loving feelings as deeply as you have experienced your unimpeachable, unapologetic love for your wife, Ms. Maha. If Bobby 'Blue' Bland were alive today, I'm sure he'd want to 'cover' this lovely, intimate, sincere and bluesy torch song. I had no idea that you could play an electric guitar so soulfully. Listening to it was like having a front row seat in the interior space you call your soul. You coaxed that gee-tar into telling us what even your committed, imaginative, and sensitive lyrics couldn't express. What a change of venue this is! Kind of inevitable, actually, for a stone-serious, blues-rockin' musician such as yourself. Where there's fire, there's also water to cool down its heat so that it becomes a flickering warmth of the kind that makes you want to 'cozy up' to it with someone who you couldn't possibly live without. And now, I know there's as much to appreciate about you as a person as there is to revel about in your musicanship. The rest of the crew -- Mr. Bernhard ‘Ruppi’ Ruppersberg on the organ, and Ms. Maha in the studio refining the finished production -- you can take your bows, too, for helping to bring Stefan's heart so close to our view. Ms. Maha, you better keep this guy, 'cuz I think he's got even more to show and tell you about how he feels about...you  . LOREN

Deat Loren,
none of my friends would ever claim that they've ever
seen me completely speechless - to the contrary: IÄm afraid some of them have wished every now and then that I might shut up.
But this time I'm really running out of words which is the reason that it took a couple of days before I could reply to your wonderful comment.
I'm not far from turning 70 and I've made a lot of music in my life, music of different kinds and under different circumstances and, of course, I have got all kinds of feedback (not always as positive as I would have liked though...).
But I think I've never had such a wonderful reaction to a song of mine in all those years, so wonderful that I think that just saying 'Thank you' might not be enough. But what else could I say? I'm overwhelmed, flattered, excited and, yes, a bit proud, too, because I appreciate your opinion so much (as everybody on this forum does, I think!).
So thanks a lot, Loren, for the treat you made the new year begin with for Maha and me.
All the best to you,
Stefan

I'm still finding my way around here.
Glad I found you doing this great Blues song.
Great song structure, beautiful lyrics, well performed.
Your vocals remind me of somebody, I'm searching my my mind as to who it is.
It will come to me eventually but one thing for sure.........it's somebody good!
Enjoyed that!

Hi Sefan, Oh well I woke up this morning, Thinking which song should I choose, Then I clicked on 'Would I Miss You' And I heard a happy blues. And what a good one too. And great to hear a blues with an upbeat message. Really enjoyed it. Keep 'em coming. Martin
Music is what feelings sound like.

Wow - you really knocked this one out of the park. Love the groove this one, and thought the mix was fantastic. A really ambitious tune, and delightfully catchy. I wouldn't change a thing here. Thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

I missed this the first time, but I'm not missing it now!  Glad I got a listen this time around! I love the blues, and this was a great listen. Sweet lyrics, and sweet solo guitar. Here's hoping 2020 is a good one for both of you.

Simply. Fantastic. You have delivered a full on soul song with great grit and soul. Ray Charles would have swung his head around to do this. I only wish I didn't have to wear the phones to hear this, as I'd have only loved to get up, grab my baby and dance. This is the music that plays in my head on long walks to the market, in early mornings in the garden, and any other time I am conscious. And now it has words. Bless you, Stefan. And love to Maha.

Enjoyed that! Hi CaptainMoto, please accept my apologies for replying that belatedly, but I've been (and actually still am) very ill. Thanks a lot for your beautiful comment, I'm really glad that you liked this song. (And of course I'd be pretty nosy to know who I reminded you of .. ) Take care, Stefan

Martin Hello Martin, first of all: Please accept my apologies for replying that belatedly, but I've been (and actually still am) very ill. Thanks a lot for your very kind words When I posted it I wasn'r really sure wether it might be too personal for the forum, but then I thought 'That's waht the Blues were'invented' for: Show your feelings'. All the best, Stefan

Hi Tangmo, first of all: Please accept my apologies for replying that belatedly, but I've been (and actually still am) very ill. Well, how could I ever reply appropriately to your wonderful comment... It makes me happy to read that I managed to reflect (at least some of) your feelings, and reading my name on the same page as Ray Charles's is something that I'd never dared to expect (except perhaps: Stefan has admired Ray Charles ever since!). So thank you very much, and, also thanks a lot for your lovely greeting to Maha. Take care, Stefan

Hi Stefan
First of yours i've heard. Some delightful lyrics, (would a baldy miss his hair), very clearly presented and great vocal. Enjoyed it all.
Cheers.

What a wonderful tune, Stefan. Very creative lyrics, and a great-feeling blues arrangement, which could only be answered with YES.

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."
