Hello, Noel
Finally the real version as David says!
Great minor rock ballad!
The melody is so nice, I love it.
The delay effect to the vocal at "deciduous love" is very nice and effective.
How to use the organ played small in the back is also very effective.
By the way, the lyrics are truly fragile and beautiful.
I felt the fact so much again.
You revised the lyrics a little bit, I think that it got even better.
It was really nice to listen to your version.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I take my hat of to you. You really are an inspiration to us all. All the best, Noel Noel, If you have any Classic Country songs I can probably get some airplay for you both in London and NZ where Joanne Wilson-Cooper and I are getting a lot of exposure. A second London DJ is scheduling our music for airplay soon. Be aware, apprised, and cognizant that there are no Loonies, Bux, Lira, or Kopecks involved. The exposure has really helped Joanne along her musical journey. I've totally missed my chance. If you have some Country songs I would be happy to submit them to the DJs for their consideration but it takes several weeks in the long queue.

Hi Noel,
As has already been mentioned, it's always interesting to hear what the composer had in mind as he/she wrote a lyric. It takes a real talent to make a relatively simple song sound so full and vibrant. Not easy to pull off but you handled it with ease.
Your mixing and mastering are second to none. You have a special touch with your music that escapes common words to describe. It's as though your heart and your brain conspired to write this one. I know I've listened to a masterful production and song when ordinary words are inadequate to describe it. This is one of those songs.
Wishing you well, my friend.
Alan Alan, Thank you!!! You certainly know how to put a smile on a person's face! I really appreciate your thoughts. I find mixing one of the most challenging aspects of creating any of my songs. I usually take around 2 weeks to get my final sound because I find that my brain gets bamboozled and addled after listening to the mix over and over and over for a couple of hours. These days, I find it much more productive to have 24 hour breaks in between 2 hours mixing sessions. I'm very envious of people like you who can whip up an incredibly professional sounding song in less than a day! Thanks again  Noel P.S. I hope all is going as well as it possibly can for you and Di.

Just loved this tune Noel. Super vocal and lyric. Such a wonderful story and delivery. Cool mix too. Harmonica really a nice touch. Well done.. Hey Scott, Thanks for visiting. I really appreciate your comments. I started working on this back in 2012 so it's taken a while to get to the forum. Thank you for listening. All the best, Noel

Super song Noel,
beautiful flow to it, love the harmonica part
this should be pitched to the Finn bros. or maybe Neil
I really enjoyed the listen,
Kenny Kenny, I really appreciate your dropping in. It's terrific to see you back on the forum. Thanks for having a listen and thanks for the comments too. Who knows, maybe I'll run into the Finn brothers one day! I did turn around once a couple years ago and there, standing before me was Geoffrey Rush, about a yard away. He was looking straight at me. Unfortunately, even though I knew who he was, he had no idea who I was. Still... it seems that the future is always full of the unexpected! All the best, Noel

A lovely sound and I agree with the accolades from all the others.
A very nice vocal and a good melody and the harmonica is a lovely touch.
A classy production.

Noel,
well done. I really enjoyed the reverb or delay thrown on love.
Backing, lyric and melody work very, very well together. Thanks Ray. I appreciate the visit and comments. I used the CLA Vocals plugin and a bit of automated delay controlled through envelopes. It really is an excellent plugin and very effective. All the best, Noel

Hi Noel, Love it! Very nice flow to this, the sort of song you don't want to end. Just finished my third listen actually I love your attention to detail! The delay you add to "love" for example, and that subtle sound effect that comes in every so often. Choice of notes during the vocal too, "away" for example, wasn't expecting you to sing that note but very effective. My new favorite from you, hands down! Dave, Thanks for taking the time to listen and pass on your thoughts. It's taken a few years but I think I'm starting to get the hang of how to mix a bit more effectively. As I mentioned to Ray, above, I've started using envelope automation these days and it really can work a treat and has opened the door to a whole heap of new possibilities. I've still got a way to go to catch up to your professional sound, though! All the best, Noel

Dear "Noel96"...
The title, "Deciduous Love", sent me to a dictionary to learn the definition of the word "deciduous": falling out at maturity, according to Wikipedia. It describes nearly perfectly the bittersweet, yearning, and loss-laden feel and texture of your lyrics.
The Real Tracks harmonica track is achingly soulful. It really cries out from the heart of your song.
"Noel96", your songs, make me want to sing your songs. They always have an inner life that makes for good musical storytelling.
Sincerely,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

This is really gorgeous ballad with lovely beautiful melancholy melody and chord progression. Reminds me of some western movie. Great lyrics fits the current mood when summer is gradually fading away here. Your vocals are excellent as always. And the arrangement and mix are superb with all those little details.
Janne Hi Janne, Thank you for dropping in. It's always good to see you and read what you thought. I appreciate the positive feedback. When it comes to arranging BIAB-generated tracks, I'd have to be classified as a minimalist, I think. I usually work with only a handful of instruments because it gets too hard after that. I always try to get as good a sound as I possibly can from the few I use (this usually takes around two weeks of mixing)! Thanks, again. Noel

I really dig your arrangement, the echo on your voice in the chorus, the harmonica, the placement of the instrument levels in the mix.
And I like the metaphor play in your lyrics. Well written and tight.
Great work!

Noel,
Deciduous. What an interesting word to base a (lost) love song on!
The write does a great job of developing the idea, too.
The cold drop of autumn, remembering the strength of Spring, the hope of summer renewal...
The production and mix are tight. All the instruments have a good sound.
The vocals sit perfectly in the mix.
(One of your best mixes, I think).
Very well done.
fj Hey floyd! It's always great to see you drop in. If my mixes are getting better, I think much of that credit goes to you and a number of others on the forum who get such awesome sounds! All I do is to try and learn from what I hear. As I mentioned above, I recently bought a collection of CLA plugins because Tom Adams used them and achieved amazing mixes with them, and I think they've helped lift me up a half a level or so Thanks for passing through and for always being so helpful. All the best, Noel

Noel, we commented on the nice lyrics on the others' versions and we feel the same after hearing it again. A great write!
"I remember back in springtime
My life was looking good
When summer shone and love got strong as days got longer
I felt invincible and self-assured
But seasons changed, blue turned grey
And then came autumn's blade"
We particularly enjoyed the journey and imagery through the seasons.
As others have pointed out the mix is pro level all the way and very supportive of your excellent vocals.
This is one that we have no interest in parsing out...we just enjoyed listening the the SONG.
Kudos!
Bud
PS I'm a big fan of the CLA fx. The drum module completely changed my approach to RD's in a very positive and easy way.
Hi Janice and Bud, Thanks for passing through! I appreciate that you had time to have a listen. Thanks for the comments, too. One of the things about the CLA plugins that I really like is their ease of use. Chris Lord-Alge really has assembled an excellent array of specific effect chains that are simple to use and give great results. They are also exceptionally easy (and effective) to automate. Like you, I'm a big fan too! Always great to see you! All the best to you both, Noel

Cool song Noel!! Very clever metaphor you've created here.......I love using weather metaphors myself. Melody is nice and has a fresh feel. Your mixes are always clean and clear. Nice vocal! Good job on everything!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg, Good to see you! When it comes to metaphors, as I see it, you're forum royalty! Your lyrics always inspire me to look more deeply at my own creations and to see if I can find ways to enhance the visual and emotional quality of what I've written. Thank you for providing this inspiration I appreciate the visit! All the best, Noel
