Peter & Leon,

What a beautiful song...

I love the wistfulness of this piece. The piano track is great - love the support it provides for Leon's vocal.

I completely enjoyed this.

There were two things that struck me:

first, and a personal quibble mainly, the use of A rather than a in the line "White cockatoo, against a blue sky". To my ears it sounds odd.
Then there's some proximity effect around the vocal - it's less apparent when the full band is playing but seems a low end halo in the quieter passages.

BUT
a wonderful package nevertheless.


Thanks Ray always appreciate your insights.
Not sure I follow what you mean by a low end halo effect?

Thanks Scott.

We have a lot of cockatoos in Sydney. A pretty bird but sometimes quite destructive in gardens.

Peter, that slide guitar at the end of the song really spices it up. And, guys, I really liked your harmony singing !

Well-arranged and produced. Like I said: beautiful.

Cheers,

Stefan


Thanks Stefan. Not only did your comment make me laugh out loud, it's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said about my singing! Interestingly (perhaps) for lovers of trivia, Tiny Tim recorded an album on Regular Records in Australia in 1993 on which he covered a curious assortment of songs, ranging from AC/DC's Highway to Hell to Hound Dog and Great Balls of Fire. A curious record on which he showcased his lower range as well as that annoying falsetto. He was one strange cat.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks James. It should indeed be 'peace.' Can't believe I let that one slip through!

Leon & Peter,

REALLY enjoyed this. Might be my favorite thing you guys have done.

Excellent write.
"Me and you, no longer true" << love that line!
...and all of this:
"I thought we could be free together
You wanted to be free alone
I imagined we were forever
Wind blows and I don’t know where you’ve gone"

Excellent BAND and arrangement! Nice slide touches. And a solid mix.
Might be Leon's best-ever vocal, too!!

Super!

Nice tight harmony too. Janice was singing along with the "ahs!"

The arrangement is excellent -- adds a LOT to the tune.

Great choice with the piano and cool little slide things happening.
And the RT guitars sat in really well.

We mentioned the phrasing but want to add that the melody is really memorable.

And the mix is open and sparkly -- good things for us always.

Love it!

J&B

Janice & Bud

Very much appreciated by both of us. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Peter

Hi Peter and Leon,

What can I say more then all the post here already had done?
It's a beatiful and emotional song, hooked on a nice parable.

The double vocals in the chorus worked out very nice.
I'm always listening to those things as well, to learn from them.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
