YouYesterday (Saturday, 10-04-25) Di would have been 79 years old. I was going to post this yesterday - on her birthday - but it was a really tough day, and I didn't get it done. You know, that first year of all the special days when you've lost a spouse is a challenge, emotionally. We wrote and recorded this in late 2011 using a different music generation program. I ripped her voice from that recording and moved it over to these tracks with BIAB RTs and RDs that I generated for this version. I hope you don't mind me reposting one I posted just 5 years ago, but I thought it would be appropriate to do so anyway. Besides, many of the newer forum members have never heard her sing. I made a few slight changes since the previous post, but nothing significant. I softened the flute a small amount and gave the drum kit a very slight increase in the upper mids. That brought out the brushes and cymbals a bit more. Di on vocals, and we collabbed on the lyric. I wrote all the music. I sure do miss hearing that sweet voice singing around the house almost every day. Hope you enjoy, Alan PS: Di was just a couple of weeks from her 65th birthday when she recorded this.

Wow, Alan, this is SUPER! Love Di's liquid vocal take on these lyrics, and it's a fabulous write as well, old school and polished. Very cool bossa backing track, and the solo section is a perfect fit. Heck, EVERYTHING fits together perfectly. Nice technical job ripping Di's vocals from another backing track, too.
Alan, hope you have or can get a support system for working through the grieving process. No need to go through this alone.
Happy birthday, Di! Thinking of you...

Happy birthday, Di! Thinking of you... Hi Ron, Thanks for all those very nice words about our music. She was quite the singer - but an even better person and wife. I have a pretty good support backup. Our daughter and granddaughter each live only 5 or 6 houses from ours. Of course, they're grieving, too. But we lean on each other when necessary. We're rock solid. Also, Di's hospice provider has a support program, and they've been great. The hardest part is just is trying to reinvent myself. But it's getting there. Thanks for the kind words - on each facet. Alan

Alan,
Di had such an incredible voice and ability to phrase. This is one of the best things I've ever heard on the forum. Spectacular job on building the new tracks to produce and present this awesome piece of music.

Bob Thanks so much, Bob. And yes, her phrasing and vocal intonation were amazing. Building the BIAB tracks wasn't all that hard - a little over an hour. Massaging the ripped vocal to get the clarity without losing the richness of her voice was the challenging part. I worked on that for several hours. I guess you could say I've had quite a journey with EQ-ing vocals. But it seems to work. But I had a pretty danged good base to work with! Take care, Alan

Thanks for posting this Alan. Di’s voice and the new backing flowed so well together - I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t mentioned. Di had a very wide vocal range from highs to lows.
Without imposing on you, I hope you are able to post more like these in the future - honouring Di but also you both together.
Loved this.
Andrew

Loved it...Di's voice has such character! And for a project that involved ripping and re-stitching, this is solid and a real listening pleasure. The recent mix and use of RT's seems to be a perfect compliment to this lovely vocal and well-written song. Congrats! Totally enjoyed it!

Wow, that vibrato! Amazing! A pleasure to listen to. Glad you shared that you have pretty good support around you, Alan. Family a few doors away is terrific. EQing vocals precisely might be pretty good therapy as well. Thanks for taking the time to get this sounding so good!

Alan,
This is, indeed, one of the most beautiful songs I have heard on here, and so much of it is due to Di's incredible, incredible voice. Thank you so much for bringing it to us, once more. 100% (and more) worth all the work you've had to do on the tracks. I will remember this song ... again, thank you.
Genuine best wishes,
JD

Andrew Hi Andrew, Thank you for the very nice words. Yes, Di had a 3-octave vocal range. And she did it so effortlessly. To watch her sing, you'd think she was almost doing it as she would when walking around the house singing. Almost effortless. And anything Di and I sang was always a straight-through effort - no cut and paste. Sher sang this one only once before recording it. She just had that ability/talent. I have 3 or 4 more she sang that I can post here. I have more, but they were created using a different music generation program. But, I'm going to rip her vocals off those songs over the next few months and create BIAB tracks to back them up. I'll post one or two a month until I've exhausted all our originals on which she sang. All total I have over 500 videos of her singing and well over 2,000 audio-only tracks. Most of them are cover songs, which we can't post here. Thanks again, Andrew ... Alan

Her vocal phrasing and intonation were special. And she didn't even realize she had that quality in her vocals. She would just say "I don't think about all that - I don't even know what it means. It's just the way it comes out when I sing." Must be nice! It was a nice little project that I enjoyed working on. It took me the better part of a day to get it all finished. And I think it came out pretty nicely. Thanks again, Tom ... Alan

She never knew she could sing until about 3 years before I met her in 2010. Fortunately, I have several thousand audio recordings of her singing and over 500 videos. Her voice will never be silent as long as I'm alive. She was truly a treasure - both vocally and personally. Thank you for listening and commenting so nicely. Alan

JD James, Your kind and thoughtful words put a smile on my face. I appreciate them so much. It wasn't all that much work, actually. About 8 or 9 hours total. I managed to get it all done in one day. I'm repeating what I've told others already, but I have over 500 videos of her singing and 2,000+ audio-only recordings. Her voice will live on as long as I do. Her voice still amazes me. Fpr many years, I had the pleasure of listening to her singing around the house. And she could sing almost any song in any key as she had a full three-octave range. Of course she had keys that were most comfortable for her, but if needed, she usually sing a song in any key needed. Heck, my range is barely over one octave - and I struggle with that! Again, many thanks. Wishing you everything good. Alan

I'm still the new kid on the block here, so this is the first time I've heard this song. And I like what I hear. A fantastic voice, and I would never have guessed that this is a completely new backing track matched to a ripped vocal stem. Perfect ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Speaking for all of us, Alan, we love you and we're with you, man. Seriously, if you ever need anything, you got my number.
Man, it doesn't get any better than this. Happy birthday Di. I always love your voice. So soothing and what a good range, and so emotional. I particularly like the controlled vibrato. Man, I really like how this starts out, Alan, and then how you ease it into a terrific song of changes and excitement. The flute is a perfect choice --pretty much the only acceptable sound while we wait for that special vocal.

Hi, Alan.
It's really nice to hear Di again!
It would be good to have the vocal a bit more up front, but I understand the issues of trying to deal with a ripped vocal.
I'll enjoy listening to anything of Di's that you post.

Allan, Di sure had a fantastic voice.
This must have been extremely hard to produce, especially with the lyrics. I know that I couldn't do it. I am impressed on how you pulled the vocal out of an old recording, added those RTs, then had everything sound so darn good.
Loved it.
