Hi Deej56,
Nice guitar playing. Sad and pleasant atmosphere. The playing of the violin reinforces this atmosphere. The lyrics are well written and your voice harmonizes perfectly. Well done.
Kindly regard

Excellent pro songwriting on display here. These don't come along every day.
Well done Deej!

This is Deej on his best!
These heartbreaking songs are really made for you, ehm by you, because you have the perfect voice for them.
One can almost hear you crying. And then you went even higher for a moment, beautiful.
Also the lyrics are written very clever. F.i. I like "When I finally feel we’re on solid ground, I find you running round with someone new".
So I enjoyed your song very much, as you might have guessed,
Hans

"Wow." That was my first thought when the song was over. You did everything right---lyrics, melody, accompaniment, vocal performance---that comes together for that intangible, poignant moment that pricks the heart.
I love this song. It is my absolute favorite from you. And that is no hyperbole.
Third listen... double wow.

Good song.
I have to agree a bit with Floyd's assessment on the mix...especially the low end. I've rarely been a fan of the acoustic bass samples due to the muddy nature of their sound. A crisper low end from an electric bass would probably be an asset. You may already know this, but if you use a low cutoff EQ slope on your bass.... yeah I know, sounds counterintuitive, but it will often clean up the muddy really low stuff in the instrument leaving you with a bass that fits nicely in the mix with out the muddiness.
Nicely written and performed. I loved those quite unexpected falsetto notes. Nice touch.
I've upgraded from my crappy computer speakers and still learning these new ones. So much better than my old ones.... but I need to learn them a bit and tweek the settings. So... I listened on my buds... I trust the buds actually, to give me the truth. The bass is actually more clearly defined in the buds. I like this song.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Deej,
I hadn't heard any of your songs in a while and was just reminded how great a vocalist you are! This ballad is delivered with emotion and feeling that honors the lyrics! Great song! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Deej ...
Back after several months of absence for some medical reasons. I've told you this before, but feel the need say again - your unique vocal style is a fabulous treat to my ears. Sad, sad song but a sweet delivery. This is terrific in so many ways. Loved it!

I always enjoy your vocals, and this song is a lovely setting for them. Good singing as well - a no holds barred heartbreak song. Excellent write.

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."
