Awakening

I wrote this song during summer 2017, the original Finnish version with a female vocalist was selected as the song of the week on a local musicians' forum. I hope I haven't ruined it with my singing in this new English version wink BIAB provided a great mix of modern instruments once more.

MIDI: MOZART.STY Strings 1 - Vocalise 2 VST, Strings 2 - GPO 5 Full Choir

Vocals by me

Mixed in Adobe Audition 2019.

Lyrics:

Awakening

Sitting on a stone
watching restless waves around me
only few on my life's sea
could have calmed down its sway
most people have just sailed away.

Lying on the rocks
I hear the rhythm of the hard hail
hardly ever drummed for my tale
same feelings beat for years
yet most people have just closed their ears.

The cold of dawn
I felt on my skin
You took off the blanket
my heart was hiding in.
You woke me up in this beautiful den
even if a storm broke,
I would live it once again
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world.

Standing in the wind
wishing for a soft ascension
someone freed the bow from tension
stayed until the morning breeze
in her company, I would be feeling ease.

The cold of dawn...

Body's awakened, bare and serene
mirroring your image on its sheen
blessed free mind soars from the reeds
I'm still a tender slender tree.

wake me up one more time to the beautiful world
wake me up one more time to the beautiful world.

This version is a good indication of an effective narrative and sweet melody.
You vocal does get lost in the chorus though.
I'd love to hear the original version - I have no problem listening to songs not in English.

Hi Janne,

I remember this one.

Your images throughout these lyrics are very strong and they created wonderful pictures in my mind. I love this arrangement. You seriously have a flair for matching, arranging, mixing and producing.

From start to end, I really enjoyed this musical journey. I am a fan of your work, always.

And your singing worked well for me. Nothing inferior about it at all smile

All the best for 2020!
Noel

A nice complex piece of writing. The chorus is especially nice and the production is impressive.
Nice use of the flute and overall dynamics.

Good work.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Ray for your positive words smile I was thinking that my vocal in verses is bit too loud, but nice to notice that people hear things differently wink

There is a link to the original version in the end of the song info section at soundcloud. Although it is excellently sung, sometimes it's better the writer to express his personal inner landscape.

Janne,

The melody is lovely and the arrangement ( particularly liked the flute solos, seldom used for some reason) works well.
In reference to the chorus vocals, I thought the choral effect tended to smother your lead a little... which is otherwise clear and warm, suiting the song`s positive mood.

Nothing like a good ol' love song smile I found this really pleasant to listen to. The instrumentation is lush and atmospheric, and the poignant lyrics really bring it home for me. The tune is soaked in sincerity.

Thanks for sharing!

That is superb.

As others have said the imagery is terrific.

Your vocal carries the new version well and the
flute sounds super.

And the mix sets up a nice soundstage on our monitors.

Enjoyed it!!

Hello Janne,

You made a lovely song with such nice lyrics! I wanted to underline a line of your lyrics that I especcially liked, but then read Jim already did that with the same line!
In the melody the flute swirls so sweet through the song. Your singing is giving the song some extra vulnerability.
That makes it extra nice.
Good song, Janne!

Robert


Thanks Robert for your warm feedback smile I like the flute also, I really hope there will be more flute RTs in the future (and oboe, pipes, bagpipes etc. :)). You are probably right about the choral effect, the original mix was with a female voice, so I gave more room for lower parts, which now collide with my voice. Maybe I should eq choir tracks a little.

Thanks for your very positive feedback smile It wasn't easy to translate, I had to rewrite the verse lyrics couple of times before I was satisfied… I still feel that the third verse is not yet perfect.

Hi Janne ...

Talk about a full and captive sound! I loved this from start to end ... the flute intro was particularly nice. Also, excellent change in feel from verse to chorus ... blended perfectly. Loved it all the way. Best to you ...

It's typically your song.
The melody and the chord progression are very beautiful.
I also remember this one.

Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Hans for your warm feedback smile I'm glad you appreciate my lyrics, it's good to know that I have managed to create a universal message that others can also understand smile That RT flute is really lovely, now that I checked my notes, it is actually played double tempo. Nice to have such a possibility in BIAB.

Thanks Greg for your positive feedback smile The pad sound was bit problematic, I wanted it to have more dynamic variation, but I guess it was too much…

And congrats for all the HMs your songs received in SongDoor! (noticed because I had some of my songs on the list too). Been listening your songs on Spotify lately, Love Knows No Color and Love Is Like A Hurricane are my current top favorites.

Wonderful imagery in the lyric matched by a lovely and lilting progression and the hot sweetness of the flute. Quite the package and made for a sweet and satisfying listen.

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."
