A new one. The kind of piano song that I'm hoping will be well represented in BIAB 2024. For this one, I played piano and strings. I "programmed" (hand input) the bass. And the BIAB stuff... RealTracks in style: 2667:Pedal Steel, Background DreamySingleNote Ev 075 RealTracks in song: 3441:Guitar, Electric, Soloist BritPsycRockMarch Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 1856 Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 I've seen some discussion (in Off Topics, I think) that "complained" about getting good solos. I've always been very happy with the solos I'm able to get from BIAB (find pieces that work and build it). This one, in particular, I COULD NOT be happier with. It's perfect, I think... And the steel and cello are perfect compliments for a piano track. I Love BIAB. Period. Okay....so... IT'S YOUR MOVE what do i do? i've run out of words nothing i can say can undo the hurt some lessons only heartbreak can teach some sins run deeper than forgiveness can reach but i'm reaching it all hangs in the balance can we still find the groove i'll die without you but it's your move i can barely breathe my heart's stopped, too will you fall in or out, girl it's your move it's your move i hit a rough patch i wasn't thinking straight i came to my senses was it too late i saw the damage i know that's on me i pray with all my being it's not too late i'm reaching it all hangs in the balance can we still find the groove i'll die without you but it's your move i can barely breathe my heart's stopped, too will you fall in or out, girl it's your move it's your move And, again...It's Your Move. fj

Floyd,
Heartbreakingly beautiful... Exquisite lyrics and vocal.
Love the piano. You play so well. Yes, that solo is perfect, as is the pro-mix. All the tracks work.
You are the master!

Hi Floyd,
That first verse is just killer - every word, every line.
Piano sounds terrific - marries nicely with the RTs.
Powerful vocal with the perfect amount of poignancy to convey the despair of the lyrical subject. This shines in every way!
I fully agree with you about getting wonderful lead riffs from just about all the lead (and sometimes the "background)" RTs for the needed riffs. And, as you know, I write in numerous genres. I've never been left wanting as long as I did due diligence in sorting out the RTs and "molding' them as needed.
I've twice been a teacher - I'd grade this an A+. Really nice.

Floyd, breathtakingly beautiful. Just no words to convey the power of this tune for me. I agree that this soloist sounds like he's playing perfectly to your tune. And just between us, if I could play piano like this I'd never use piano RealTracks. Bravo!

Hi Floyd,
Excellent song and also good piano playing and vocals.
I must admit I was waiting for the bass and drums to come in but that's just me.
Also I would have liked the guitar solo at double the volume and half the reverb to match the vocals volume.
Excellent - would love to hear a remix.
Best Regards

floyd,
It's a very moving song. Beautiful!
Great vocals.
It's a wonderful piece with a slow tempo, piano and vocals, and the classic ballad style.
Hand input is very effective for songs like this.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Whew! I gave it a listen in my headphones, and wondered what's this weird resonance I'm hearing? I couldn't figure it out, and no one else mentioned it, so I figured I'd just give the song a listen tomorrow. Finally, my son walked by, pointed, and said "Dad, you've got the speakers on."  All right, with that out of the way... Lovely. Intimate and close. Piano is dead simple, just like you've been asking for on that other thread. Cello and guitar sound great - the distortion on the guitar adds a nice edge to an otherwise sweet arrangement of sounds. When the strings come in, it widens the sound wonderfully. Vocal is fantastic, bringing life to the grief-filled lament. Once again, a master class on showing how it's done!

Ditto on the period! This is wonderfully crafted from the songwriting to the arrangement, band selection (the piano player is my favorite), and the presentation. Hey, wait... I got all the way through the first time, and realized I never heard the bass. Now that's odd for me...
Oh, it's bowing with the strings. What an extraordinary, beautiful song, Floyd. You have such a huge range of goodness.

Floyd...this is certainly a track to be proud of...the piano is the key...the simple metering is the perfect palate for a tender ballad and with the strings (exquisite) and cello...man that melts a heart...the song is quintessential floyd jane! so well written and produced...stylistically one of my favorites of yours...your musicianship captured me on this one for sure! so good!

probably a dated phrase but 'you killed it', Floyd (this is a very good compliment for all you youngin's)! Love the solo BIAB created. It was a nice compliment as you noted to the piano (great job by the way). I also like the placement of the hook in the chorus.

Bob Bob - thanks for the very nice comments. And I appreciate the mention of the piano (since I really just learned to play this past year)....

FJ, That may be one of your most expressive emotive vocals. The writing is superb. The piano is the perfect padded bed for the supporting fills and solo. Fantastic use of real tracks. I found this extremely moving. My eyes were moist by the end, Tom

I remember your forum post where you asked for some specific piano RealTracks ... and instead of waiting, you simply upped your piano skills and played them yourself.
Good decision, I like them a lot.
Your song is pretty pure with a sparse arrangement and a voice full of emotion.
Excellent choice.
This song would be the perfect encore for a live performance, just you and the piano and the light of 1000 lighters cell phones.

Your piano part is lovely and fits wonderfully - particularly as the left hand isn't heavy creating a lopsided bass feel.
I like everything about this. It moves from sparse to lushness with just a couple of added elements and then back to bare bones, bare emotions that bear the weight.
Cheers

One of your best writes. The lyrics are perfect. Goes without saying your arrangement, mix, and vocal are wonderful.
