Brain, this is really good.
Great job on that vocal synth, she sounds so real!
There are really good dynamics in this one.
Great backing band!
Super mix, Thanks a lot for your nice comment, Mario. Very appreciated!

B.D., very nice song indeed. Just when I think I've figured out the limits of BiaB I see something like this that sends me back to the woodshed. Amazing vocaloid performance, BIG professional quality production and VIDEO??? Just wow. Had no idea folks were doing stuff like this. Suspect not too many are. But I need to get out more. Ha!

I like where you take us melodically with some unpredictable notes.
Natalie sounds so good.
Good arrangement with the rocking guitars.

B.D.Thomas,
This is not a cheap love song.
It's very high quality pop music.
Piano arpeggios imitating Bach's Prelude are used very effectively.
It's a very good song that reminds me of ABBA.
Natalie is very natural.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best Regards.

B.D.Thomas, Neat tune. Rich arrangement, but is not busy. Robo girl sounds very realistic. Very clean production. Listens well. Can't help it, but couple of twists do remind me of Radiohead  Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Thanks Marty! After our discussion about "sister from another mister" I did a little googling, it doesn't seem to be uncommon to use that term. Thanks again for your time ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

From the intro on the song reminds me of darker ABBA songs, especially piano parts and even Natalie sounds like those ABBA ladies. Okay, those heavy guitars break the illusion and it is difficult to get to the right mood. But this is distinctly your style, from soft to very dramatic and back, and I have to admit that those guitars sound great, very good mix! And you certainly know how to get the most out of Natalie, to make her sound like she really means every word, especially "a fool", very impressive.

This is excellent. I didn't realise it was vocal synth until after it finished and I read the background in your post. Wow!
I love the tone you managed to create for Natalie. In addition, the way you shaped her performance was superb.
The production is awesome! You've amazing arranging chops.
Loved it!
--Noel Thank you very much for your kind words, Noel. I personally think that even most musicians would never get the idea that Natalie is just a piece of software unless you point it out to them.

Brian...I loved your love song...great production work...I always like the way you layer instruments in/out of your arrangements...you put a lot of thought into your song production (I can tell) and a lot of work as well...Natalie sounds great and her vocal flows nicely...I'm jealous of your piano chops and that Bosendorfer...it's just another great piece of music from you!

Well done!!! Melody is very interesting, and arrangement rocks!!! I guess Natalie is a synthV singer? Sounds great!! Take care. Greg Yep, she's (my favorite) Synthesizer V singer. Never perfect, but lots of character. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Greg. Very appreciated!

B.D.,
You’ve done a great job on this . . . your arrangement and production is super clear . . . and your use of the vocaloid is first rate. Very moody, rich sound. Yeah, simply and cheesy are two words that definitely do no apply to this. Excellent!
Kindest regards,
Deej Thank you so much for your nice comment, Deej. Much appreciated

I enjoyed everything but two lines...
"My little brother from another mother"
&
"Your sister from another mister ".
Those lines took my brain away from the narrative and music to a place where i self debated the use of them.
Probably just a thing I do - sorry.
fab arrangement, good general narrative and well mixed.
Natalie was very well done. Hmh ... actually the whole purpose of the lyrics was to get those 2 phrases into one song because I like them so much But I get what you mean, my brain does that sometimes too. Glad you liked the rest of the song. Thanks Ray for listening and your feedback, as always much appreciated!

Hi B.D.
I really enjoy your productions, really well done in all aspects. Great dynamics!
Very much enjoyed. Thanks Dave Dynamics is something I LOVE, so whenever a song allows it, I go in that direction to add contrast. Glad it worked out!

That’s a fine love song. We love the piano arpeggios and they help set the mood.
The build and dynamics throughout are the signs of a great arrangement and mix.
And this is one indeed.
As always, your video is very supportive.
Natalie sounds great!
Enjoyed it!
J&B Thanks J&B for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it

Really cool song. Loved the production and mix. The drums were so crisp. Awesome increase in energy with the guitars and panning. The vocaloid technology is incredible. It just blows my mind. Really well done.
