That 'stop' is effective  Angry and/or brazen females seem to be your trademark, I don't have an idea what a psychiatrist would think of what's going on in your brain. but I like the concept  "Life is so much better without you/Green is so much greener without blue" is a very good slogan for emancipation. Good rock production, you have gained routine that works like charm. Strong catchy melody. And I have nothing to complain about work with Synth V voices, in your capable hands they work in a way that I don't have to think about the used technology, the delivery of the message is the only thing that counts and it is convincing and humanlike.

So...did Natalie get a sex change?...she's sounding a little masculine...but it works!...your songs (this one included) are technical masterpieces...the tracks are very pro sounding...great rock band...how long from start to finish would a song this well constructed and produced take you?...just curious as I venture into Natalie's realm...top-notch for sure!!

Hi, Brain. Fun listen. Unsophisticated cliché pop banality is what pop should be. Nailed it.

Your write up is worth the price of admission!
“The first version had more than twice as many lyrics.
With every word removed, the song got better.”
Yep, perfection is when there is nothing left to take away … rather than add.
Like you we tend to write failed relationship songs for Janice to sing about “those bad men” (as Hans calls them😊) and like you we are very happily married but those songs are a good challenge.
Natalie sounds excellent and those breath intakes sound so natural.
The arrangement and the dynamics from the band and the singers are very good.
We love this:
“Life is so much better without you
Green is so much greener without blue”
Per always great audio and vid production.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Thanks J&B ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) The original song title was "It Feels So Good", but when I came up with that phrase, I knew it had to be the song title. I'm a sucker for unusual song names.

Hey Brain, Even though this really isn't my genre, I can appreciate the effort that went into this. And it was an enjoyable listen. I don't get pop music anywhere else, only here. At first I thought, "Wait, these lyrics sound like a female perspective but I hear a male voice singing (probably his voice)." When the song ended, I scanned some of the earlier reviews and the proverbial light bulb lit, a synth voice is at play. Then the world made sense again, she underwent a sex change Good job. Thanks Thumping Man To me Natalie doesn't sound like a guy, she sings contralto, the lowest female vocal range, but she still sounds like a female. But you're not the only one, so I'll probably go up a third or a fifth on the next song, it makes a big difference down there.

I love this cliche pop music! And you do it so good!
I admire how well you've mastered the synth voices. I doubt I would have the faintest idea how to do them.
Nice!!!
Alan Thanks Alan It's actually not that hard to get decent vocals with Synthesizer V, and with every song I learn a bit more how to use them. I'm pretty sure you could do the same.

WOW That sounded AWESOME !!! The whole production was SPOT ON!!!
1 - How did you get Natalie to sound like a guy? and so Human? Cong? Where did you get that voice? is it English VDB?
2 - Like your lyrics ... excellent
3 - Use of Real Tracks fantastic
4 - Arrangement - Great
Over all !!!!!! Thank you so much, Elliot, for listening and your kind words. I'm blushing a little right now...  To answer your questions: - I actually think Natalie still sounds feminine, but of course her alto voice is low to begin with, and I have her sing in the lowest register where she still sounds good.
- At least 80% of the humanity of her voice (or, any voice) comes from the carefully chosen prosody, including the breathing, the time it takes to actually breathe, little breaks and delays and stuff like this.
I learned most of this stuff by just listening to Floyd sing.
Floyd has AMAZING prosody! - May I introduce: Cong Zheng
She is not a native English singer, but she does her job quite well because she is less intrusive than Solaria or Natalie, both of whom always have to be tamed because they try to claim the vocals for themselves.
My no. 1 for BG-vox for quite some time now.
Thank's again. I will frame your reply and put it on my wall

Great song BD! Your productions are always so cool and I loved the guitars in this. The end was pretty cold, but I probably only felt that way because I wanted the song to continue. Really good stuff,
Brad Thanks Brad for your nice words and feedback, much appreciated. An early version of the song had a 'normal' BIAB ending, but it sounded very similar to one of my earlier songs, so I decided to try something different. And I like unexpected things in songs

Very cool song, Brain. We often talk about the lyrics, and I might forget to mention how good the song is. It is. You are the master of those synth vocals. Excellent harmony and the song is so well developed with dynamics. That abrupt ending gets me every time.
BTW, I have my dark side and you're welcome to it, but still... green is yellow without blue. hehe Did you get my PM about green? Thanks a lot, Dark-Marty

Excellent pop production, BD.
I too thought it was a male vocal but what do we know?
Vic Thank you very much, Vic. As I mentioned above, Natalie sings in her lowest alto range, which is pretty deep for a woman. I guess young men can sound similar down there.

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."
