This was one of the first songs I recorded with BB, and I did it completely over, longer and moodier. The drums are unusual in that they are a 3/4 pattern in a 4/4 song. A second drum track comes in for fills and on the chorus. The arrangement of the song was influenced by early U2, including the dotted 8 guitar parts.The backwards echo was made with Audacity, and this marks the first use of my new Melodyne program on the vocals.

*******************
Dancing in the Clouds
November 2014

A intro - 2 measures

A D High above the harsh confusion, soaring free without a care
E A No one here to see us flying, this is only ours to share

A D Moving out in perfect rhythm, rising up into the sky
E A Freedom flies above the clouds, we soar together, sailing high

AD Dance with me in open spaces
AE Dance with me beyond the crowd
AD Rise above the noise and promise
EDA Dance with me in the clouds

AD Dance with me beyond the fences
AE Dance with me where it's allowed
AD Take my hand in free emotion
EDA Dance with me in the clouds

A - 2 measures

A D Move around me, never touching, perfect softness soars above
E A Warm desire for you surrounds me, sweetness fills the air with love

A D Vibrations trace across the sky, weaving patterns we can see
E A unmarked highway speeds us forward, crystal clear, flying free

AD Dance with me in private gardens
AE Silent music playing loud
AD Dance with me above the rumors
EDA Dance with me in the clouds

AD Dance with me in sweet surrender
AE Dance with me above the crowd
AD Say you'll fly with me forever
EDA Dance with me in the clouds

A EDA 4 measures

Hello Will,

This is one of the few genres we don't typically listen to, but we wanted to give it a listen.

You have a very intuitive approach to the BIAB possibilities, which are almost unlimited. Your creativity shows through and includes several backing tracks not typically compatible, but you made it work. Hats off to you for your skill ... very nice use of BIAB!

Conceptually very interesting music.

Th build was well done. Musically very different to what most users deliver.

I always look forward to your posts because I think you use BIAB in the most inventive ways. No different here. The intro is imaginative and stellar. A great opening. This is a nice production and arrangement.

Enjoyed my listen.

A very creative and to these ears successful venture- the drums sound great and that anthemic U2 vibe is there throughout both lyrically and musically ( is that your guitar playing?).
Well done!

Yes, all instruments and vocals are mine, the dotted 8 guitar arp was played three times with my Rick 12, Strat and Telecaster, then combined.

We like it! The drums work well, the playing is spot on, the lyric is cool and the vocal fits nicely in. BTW, FWIW, we never noted any "need" of a pitch corrector in your productions. I assume you are just using it for effects?

As mentioned you make very creative use of RT's and your playing.

Nice!

I never use the pitch corrector for effect, but always use it to keep my vocals in tune, I have lousy pitch. That was first mentioned to me here, that I should consider investing in a pitch corrector. Now I use it on every vocal track.

Interesting and thanks for clarifying. I (Bud) am typically pretty sensitive to "pitchy" vocals...but don't recall it from you.
