There's a very strong "halo" around your vocals...more noticeable in the 1st verse...cause by the processing etc. It's not a bad thing but noticeable.
Good lyric and a nice slow blues.
Is the chorus vocal leaning a little to the left? Is that to balance the harmony vocal?


Cheers

"I often watch birds reaching for the sun
That's because I am a dreamer
I roughly know how far the sun is away
But I love to see them trying it every day
These nice things color my days
Preventing me from thinking of you"

Man, there is some GREAT imagery in this song.

You nailed the blues vibe with both your vocals and the arrangement.

The somewhat foreboding backing sets up a great contrast with the lyric. Nice.

Your band is excellent. The solos sound really good -- the guitar and fiddle.

And Janice wanted to be sure and mention how much she (and I ) like your phrasing.

What to say? How about GREAT!

J&B

Hi Jtpjtpjtp, Scott, Nigel and Greg,

Oh man, I was busy heading some huge problems with BiaB! Still not solved. I think it has to do with those bugs in version 2022!
And I noticed I'm am worse than a donkey. That animal learns after hitting a stone. I buy BiaB for 6 years now and always around December/January. Always it has a lot of bugs in it and everyone tells me to wait till March or something, but I don't. Well, this one was my price I still owned from the company from febuary last year. But beside that, I am facing a lot of problems.
That is what makes me react tooooo late on your so nice comments. Yelling sorry does not ease your pain, I realize. But if you have a bit the same impulse I have on buying BiaB too quick, you will recognize it (I hope).

Good one.


Hi JPT (and so on); I don't know doctor John, only doctor Hook, but he must be awsome! Thanks for your comment!

Hi Scott, thanks for your nice comment. In a way I was happy that relation broke up. It gave me inspiration ;-). And I must admit, my wife was happy too, although we will miss her. I really think of making severall versions of this song...

If you were to remix at any time (as you have suggested) I would like to hear the vocals more upfront to match the guitar.
Excellent song.

Best Regards
Nigel


Hello Nigel, thanks man, for your post. I had done a remix and had your words in mind, as remarkt upon the loudness of the solo guitar.
I believe it is solved by now. Not by making my voice louder, but the guitar less loud.

Hi Greg, yes I like singing Blues songs, although the theme is sooo much played, that makes it difficult to distinguish yourself.


Thank you all and have a very nice day today,
Hans
