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!


Cheers,
Deryk

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!!

Hi Janne,
Beautiful indeed. I particularly enjoyed the way the phrasing breathes and of course the singing flute.
Very together overall. Cheers.

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!

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.
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.

I like your production. Beautifully done. Clever opening with the flute. It sets the mood for the imagery.


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.

Agreed!! You always write really pretty, interesting music! The pad sounds could probably be a little softer. Love the flute! Beautiful song!! Take care. Greg

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 ...

Thanks Janice and Bud, your support is always very welcome and heartwarming laugh And thanks to BIAB for the flute, I had to generate it many times to get the melody that worked, but that was worth the effort.

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."
