Hello there,

I want to introduce my first song to the user showcase. Hope you have fun listening ... smile

Alles ist gut
URL: https://on.soundcloud.com/YH4cy

Uplifting song in german language. Life is fun, sun is shining, let's dance! smile
The song title translates "Everything is fine" or "All Good" ...

Used BiaB Style is _stirrup.sty with muted drums and mandoline:
~537: Bass Acoustic, Pop Sw165
~373: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw165
3175: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CampfireFastSwing Sw165

I took the BiaB arrangement "as is" to a friend to record the vocals. Recording and mixing was then done with Cubase. We also re-added drums to the arrangement with EZ Drummer.

Alles ist gut
Music and Lyrics: Alexander Bär

Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen
alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht
alles ist gut und wird gelingen
alles leichter als gedacht

Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns tanzen
alles ist gut, es ist so weit
alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen
bis in alle Ewigkeit

Trübsal blasen, das war gestern
das tu ich mir nicht nochmal an
heut will ich mich des Lebens freuen
absolut und ganz spontan


Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen
alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht
alles ist gut und wird gelingen
alles leichter als gedacht

Frag die Hoffnung, frag die Liebe
wofür es sich zu leben lohnt
schick deine Sorgen in die Wüste
oder schieß sie auf den Mond


Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen
alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht
alles ist gut und wird gelingen
alles leichter als gedacht

Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns tanzen
alles ist gut, es ist so weit
alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen
bis in alle Ewigkeit

Alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen
bis in alle Ewigkeit
bis in alle Ewigkeit

Looking forward to any kind of comments ...

Alex

I translated the songtext to english with a little help of Aunt Google ... wink

Everything is fine
(Alexander Bär - translated by Google)

Everything is fine, come on, let's sing
everything is fine, the sun is shining
everything is good and will succeed
everything easier than expected

Everything is fine, come on, let's dance
Everything is fine, the time has come
Everything is fine, we stand together
forever

Gloom, that was yesterday
I won't do that to myself again
Today I want to enjoy life
absolutely and completely spontaneous

Everything is fine, come on, let's sing
everything is fine, the sun is shining
everything is good and will succeed
everything easier than expected

Ask hope, ask love
what is worth living for
send your worries to the desert
or shoot them at the moon

Everything is fine, come on, let's sing
everything is fine, the sun is shining
everything is good and will succeed
everything easier than expected

Everything is fine, come on, let's dance
Everything is fine, the time has come
Everything is fine, we stand together
forever

Everything is fine, we stand together
forever
forever

Kind Regards
Alex

Nice tune! Too bad it arrived a little late for Oktoberfest. This would sound nice in a biergarten for sure! The BiaB instruments sound very natural how you've used them. Like the key modulation near the end. Might want to think about ways to vary the backing instruments over the course of the song, maybe with shots and/or holds on one or both guitars. Think you're on the right track with everything. Keep it up, BiaB gets easier and generally sounds better the more you use it. Welcome to the User Showcase forum!

All is good, Alex. Yes, it's a very uplifting feel. One needs not know the language to hear the fun. A fun group song, like DC Ron says, for Octoberfest. The change of key adds to the uplifting and even gives it a "where's my stein" kind of urgency. Love the lyrics. Thanks your auntie for the translation. smile


Enjoy whatever happens!

Catchy tune. I like that you translated the lyrics into English and also show the German. Took four years of high school German many years ago and surprisingly, I remember some of the words.

Welcome to the forums.
You posted an excellent first song.
A very happy toe tapping song.
Excellent mix and vocal.

As Ron said, it would be perfect for Oktoberfest, it has a nice uplifting vibe and a catchy chorus to sing along to.

Welcome to the forum, Alex.

Production sounds good. Music is up beat. The bass has that oompah sound to. I can imagine everyone raising their glasses in the beer hall and singing together.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

If you listen to the very 1st Alles ist gut and compare it to the others you'll probably notice a bit of aggression/crack/distortion on the 1st syllable.
That could be addressed by manually reducing the level on the attack of that syllable OR copying & pasting another iteration from elsewhere in the song.
Definitely a sing a long story & melody.
Der Song ist auch gut


Cheers

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

A very happy song, Alex.
I like the melody. The music could use a few twiddly bits here and there.
