You all know this: over the years, a lot of musicians you admire died. For me, the news were sometimes kinda sad, sometimes more indifferent, and sometimes there was this sting in my heart, and a deep deep sadness overwhelmed me. I never figured out why some of them went so deep while others not. Fast forward to 2022, Rob Meulman wrote about the first song I've published here in the forum that the background harmonies sounded like Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries, and it made "click": the ones who hurt so much were the ones who had a big influence on me, how I perceive music, how I listen to music, and in the end how I compose music. This is my unworthy tribute to them, a song I just HAD to write: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOnLi2S5iR0Soundcloud link: https://soundcloud.com/eleanorlennox/surviving-your-idolsSpecial thanks to marty (BabuMusic) for translation help, encouragement and to generally be a great guy to talk to!

B.D.,
Nice.
A good tribute to the musical influences no longer with us.
A very pleasant melody.
Eleanor does her usual fine job on vocals.
Good mix.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Brian,
This is really, REALLY good! It completely hit the spot for me.
Firstly, these were mostly my idols as well.
Secondly, I love the animations you use in your videos. The lip-synching is so good! I know from experience that this can be tedious.
Third, the song is absolutely sweet and highly melodic but most of all, very touching!
You've raised the bar with this for sure.
Rob

What a fine tribute song and video!
“But your songs remain for eternity
they are living in my heart
and your dreams, your visions, your poetry
they will live, in my thoughts, forever”
We agree wholeheartedly with that. Like you we’ve been influenced strongly by particular musicians and for certain powerful songs can remember exactly where we were when we first heard them.
Eleanor once again did her magic! Along with a fine Biab band and production. As always the mix is standout.
J&B
PS We are older … for us it’s been Gregg Allman, Glen Frey, John Prine, Tom Petty and more. It is so easy to apply your fine lyric to them.

Lives changed by music...idols who become demigods...
Nice arrangement and Eleanor does a decent job but this song needs a little humanity in it to express the feeling.
For me...Buddy Holly was joined by Bowie while Elvis Costello, Nick Cave and Rob Younger are still kicking.
Cheers

B.D. you are the master of synth vocals AI. Eleanor sounds fantastic.
This is a hell of a tribute to those whom have died. Many have left their mark on our hearts and on future and current musicians.
Two thumbs up
When I was young I was poor. But after years of hard, honest, and painstaking work I am no longer young.

I thought it was a great song B.D. Very well written and produced, and the video was really good too. Great idea. Thank you very much, Brad. Having the idea was one thing, but turning it into a song took 4 weeks, which is an unusual long time for me. Usually I work the other way around, while I'm writing a song the song itself tells me what it's about....

Nice song!!! Yeah, I really mourn the loss of so many wonderful singers/musicians from the past. I wrote a tribute song for Tom Petty when we lost him. So many of these people were more a part of my youth than all but 5-10 people in my actual life. I'm worried Joni won't be with us for too long....so sad. Really nicely done!! Take car.e. Greg
