Right now, I should be correcting the sibilance from my previous effort, "Amazing Grace". But ... I'm tired, so, instead of doing the nitty-gritty work on that song, here's something new (actually, a 2024 re-work of an earlier attempt at this song) - see what you think? I've decided to leave the breath noises in, deliberately, for now, but - if people don't like them, I'm open to taking them out, we shall see  . Anyway, here goes - all feedback gratefully received, thanks for listening Pokarekare Ana (public domain cover)THE LYRICS: Pōkarekare ana
ngā wai o Waiapu,
Whiti atu koe hine
marino ana e. (They are agitated the waters of Waiapu, If you cross over, girl they will be calm.) E hine e
hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e. (Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you.)Tuhituhi taku reta
tuku atu taku rīngi,
Kia kite tō iwi
raru raru ana e. (I've written my letter I've sent my ring, so that your people can see I'm troubled.) E hine e
hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e. (Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you.)INSTRUMENTAL SECTION Pōkarekare ana

James...this is beautiful...a very pleasing Polynesian feel...one of your best vocal performances...very lovely. I agree. There is nothing wrong with the vocal. In fact this is the best vocal you have done to date IMHO. Really nice backing tracks, they fit perfectly to your vocal. Excellent work James.

James,
This is really superb. I also think this is truly an outstanding vocal and one of your all time best.
Great mix - I would not change anything.

Bob: ever so kind! So glad you liked it - thanks!!! Ray: yes, I thought I'd sing this one (rather than delegate that to a vocaloid singer), simply because of the emotion that this song needs. If your legendarily sharp ears are happy with my vocal, then it's cause for celebration, round here. Thanks!!!

Well done all around. Why a synth if not needed? Nice production all around. Enjoyed it! J&B BTW, not that it's needed on this production but since it was mentioned ... There are breath analyzer effects around that will let you very quickly set it to reduce breath intakes as much as you like. One adjustment and that's all needed for the entire track. From completely to very minimal. We've used Ozone's Breath Analyzer for 10 years on all of Janice's vocals. Just a we bit to reduce it but not take the human aspects out.

Janice, Bud: thank you so much. I thought that this song was really personal in nature, and needed human emotion in its delivery, so that's part of the reason why I did decide to sing it myself ... glad you liked it! I will have a look at the Breath Analyzer! Usually, I just isolate the breath sections and delete them, but yes, THAT would allow me to do something potentially more subtle, I think . Thanks so much!
