I know I'm posting too many songs these days...but...I've got nothing else to do and this is my only contact with the outside world smile...one thing I love about BiaB is it can be used to totally build a song with or it can be used along with other music making tools...I use it with my Yamaha keyboard's styles many times...this song is an example...I've always loved this song and pretty much like the Tyros3 accompaniment but it lacked something so I added a nice electric lead guitar to my mix and think it really improved it...you can be the judges.

My favorite singer in the world was gracious enough to do the vocals for me...my sweet daughter...bless her heart! If you do...thanks for listening...I appreciate your comments always...Dan

Hi Dan ...z

This is really a gorgeous song - so very pretty, indeed! I can see why you think so highly of Amber's voice. She is so captivating with sweet, butter-smooth quality. A very nice band! This is just so pretty and easy on the ears. Loved it!

FWIW, I would bring Amber's vocal slightly more forward in the mix - not a lot, just a touch.

My ears are still smiling!

Alan

Thanks Alan so glad you liked the song...I brought Amber forward in the mix as per your thought (thanks)...I also re-EQed the piano and gave the electric guitar more depth with some reverb...I think it was a good tweak...I really appreciate your thoughts...Dan

Dan,

A beautiful song. Good write. A lovely melody.

A really solid production. All the nice "little touches" that make a song so easy to listen to...
Really tasty piano.

A gorgeous vocal. A superb mix. Top-notch in all regards.

That acoustic guitar was from a keyboard style???

Loved this song. Intro was excellent. Such a beautiful vocal. Production was awesome. As Floyd said so easy to listen to. Warm, clear and so much depth to the instrumentation. Well done

Hey Floyd...thanks for your comments...yes the acoustic on the right side of the mix is a keyboard (Yamaha Tyros)...they are very realistic ...I added the acoustic (panned left) from BiaB..thanks again for your thoughts...Dan

Beautiful song Dan. Glad you posted lyrics. Amber has a very pretty voice. Sorry this is your only contact with the outside world but it's nice you have so much time to spend on your music with BIAB.

Hi Dan and Amber,

You made a very nice song in all aspects; composing, playing, singing, mixing!
I can understand why you are so fond of BiaB, you make very good use of it!
And I also understand you are so fond of Amber too. She has a lovely voice. The doubles of her vocals made the chorusses shine bright!

Always so good to listen to everything you post, Dan. Yes, Amber Eaker is sooooo good. Great tone and control. The whole song kind of takes one away on a cloud of positive hope. Beautifully done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Firesong:

Very pretty opening—even prettier vocal . . . your daughter has a wonderful voice. It’s a stellar write and well produced arrangement. No suggestions here—just enjoyed the listen. (BTW, also digging those subtle background vox—nice touch).

All my best to you,

Deej
