https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-olivier/i-willI just love going back to this song and remixing it. I hope you enjoy it one more time if you've heard it before. And as always great big thanks to Janice for the remarkable vocals!!! I Will (2-2-13) I will build you a strong house to spare you heartache and to keep you from drowning a sturdy new boat I will search for good omens to guide through life I will sing you jubilees for your everlasting soul when scallywags call I will turn them away for your hunger pangs I will dig you a row I will rock you to sleep from a long day of strife and when you curse my name my silence I will hold I will kiss you goodbye cause I know you can't stay I will swallow my tears until I'm alone I will sleep with your pillow all through the night If I can't be your rock let me be your stone may the love that I woven warm you someday then memories of me might stave off the cold may the lessons I've taught you fit you just right and the old house I built you, will you one day call home

Great to hear from you Lawrence. As you know this song is so special to us as I sang it at the wake of a best friend.
“I will sing you jubilees for your everlasting soul.” That line always brings tears to my eyes.”
I’m thankful to have been part of it.
Janice

Lawrence / Janice
Simply stunning! Superb vocal arrangement, emotive lyrics and a lovely tune.
The phrasing and blending of the voices was just lovely.

Lawrence,
Always good to see you drop by. And always great to hear this one again.
The duet quality of this is outstanding. Two great voices - you and Janice (needless to say).
For my tastes, there is a bit to much high EQ bump in the overall mix. The acoustic guitar is a bit too crisp (I think). The vocals seemed "accentuated" too. A personal opinion - I believe rolling off a little of the high EQ on the vocals would give them the "warmth" they deserve. They are great performances. Just thoughts.
A stunning song.
You should come around more often!

Lovely song. Beautiful lyric and incredible vocals and harmonies. So glad you reposted. I agree with Floyd on the mix. Just a bit harsh on the headphones and monitors.

Lawrence, Janice Was not around to hear it the first time it was showcased. Excellent all the way. Stellar performance from both of you! Mix is very good, but I agree with FJ about the "warmth" suggestion. I think it will add more depth to vocals. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

A great remix that again reminded my of John Prine.
Great vocals, as usual, by both of you.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hello Lawrence and Janice,
I have heard this song before, but it's feels it got much better. Especially your vocals came more upfront, Janice! Although it already sounds brilliant to me. I can imagine how impressing this beautiful song must have sound when you sang it at the wake of your friend; even I got goosebumps reading this while listening to the song...
I haven't heard the EQ issues mentioned here, To me it souned ok. But some have much better ears than I have.
I just love it, Hans

Hi Lawrence First hearing for me. Beautiful song, wonderfully sung by you both. Your voices blend really well (and to my ears when male and female voices do that (e.g. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, among many others) magic happens. Regards, Leon

Wow! Such a gorgeous song and performance!!!
The simple backing tracks and stellar singing are just so good. And when the bass line comes in, followed soon after by the drums, the songs gently explodes and wafts so nicely and fills my ears with the beauty of uncomplicated simplicity. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's what I felt as I listened.
The vocals are simply precious. I cannot think of better word to describe them. Whatever musical prowess I might have is humbled by this wonderful track.
Wishing both of you the very best. Please be safe ...
Alan

Peter, floyd. Scott, Misha & Greg
Thank you for listening and commenting. I appreciate the kind words about my vocal part. Lawrence is a fine writer and singer and it was an honor to be asked to join in on his song.

Lawrence, Simply one of the finest songs I`ve heard on this forum; worthy of as many versions as you care to record. The beauty of vocals here is a bit shaded by the eq harshness others have noticed- its all wonderful otherwise.

Thank you all!!! I truly appreciate the comments and feedback about the mix. I have gone back and attempted the address the eq issues. I don't know if I've fixed the problem but I did try.
And thank you to Janice, I really thought by now we would have worked more together but who am I to predict anything. I'm just a humble worker-bee.

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."
