Thanks Misha.
You should know about poetry. Your songs are full of it.
You may be right about the 1.05 but I wanted it to spring out at you.
I'll have another listen though.

vic,
it'd be nice to read your lyric and have a clue which BIAB bits you used.
The jump to a bigger band sound is pretty sudden though foreshadowed, as Misha mentioned, by that louder guitar.
I can hear why you panned the snare in the mix but, for me, it doesn't really fit in nowhere land like that.
Lovely vocal recordings.
I think that backing vocal swamps the lead a little in spots but that's no big deal.
Cool song.


Cheers

Hi Rayc. Thank you for the comments.
I didn't pan the snare. The drums were ready mixed biab straight out of the box country even.
The rest of the line up was:
592 acoustic bass
3381 fiddle
3155 mandola
3699 3057 3185 acoustic guitars

I forgot to post the lyrics so I'll remedy that now:

Loves me. Loves me not ©2021 Vic Arnold

V1
I know a woman from up the line.
We meet up now and again.
Warms me up like summer shine.
Then cools me down like winter rain.
Sugar sweet and twice as fair.
Like a willow bends and sways.
There's no one like her anywhere.
Seems no method in her ways.
Ch.
But she loves me.
Sometimes she loves me not.
Sometimes cold, sometimes hot.
Blows through my door like a hurricane,
through my mind then out again.
V2
Has her thoughts set on her dreams,
travelling down her winding road.
I help her find the way it seems.
Happy just to share the load.
One day maybe, don't know when,
from her misty far off place,
she'll come back to my arms again.
Spend some time in my embrace.
Ch.
But she loves me.
Sometimes she loves me not.
Sometimes cold, sometimes hot.
Blows through my door like a hurricane,
through my mind then out again.

Cheers
Vic

Reminded us of the great stuff Kevin Welch and Welch with Kieran Kane were doing in the 90's. Well worth checking out Welch's "Patch of Blue" album.

And that is a huge compliment from Janice as she still, as I do, listens to them.

The acoustic band is really good and convincingly mixed as per a live act.

The write is chock full of good lines and your vocal delivered them most excellently.

Nice!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
