I recorded this song first as a ballad, but changed it into a Reggae type of tune. Most of the music is BB, except lead guitar and keyboard sections.



I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

Thanks for the kind words.

Oh, Wolfgang, promise us you'll repost these cool songs one at a time. What you are creating with BiaB is outstanding and folks here should hear them. I know you've already been scolded about adding so many at once, so please bring them back at a slower pace.

I'm not sure how the ballad version sounded, but this Reggae version is terrific. Excellent pro-sounding vocals, and the whole song (well, all of yours) is so well mastered. Keep them coming. In the meantime, I need to spend time on your YT channel.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Very nice Wolf. Pro sounding production, and I would never of thought of using this style for the song - good choice. Really tasteful guitar work, not overplayed but kept interesting. Just to be nit picky, when you take most of the instruments out (at around 2:14 or so) there is some sound still leaking through. You may have done this on purpose, but it kind of sounds like the music may be leaking through your earphones while you were laying the vocal track. I know that has happened to me before. Good stuff here, and I really liked the video as well.

Thanks, Babu!

I haven't uploaded any more songs. I'm not sure, should I delete the last ones or just wait a while for a new one?

Also, for all on this Forum: I do Mix/Master, edit, fix tracks or mixes. If at all possible, I can even create intros or endings using parts of your song. I'd be happy to work on one of your 'could sound better' songs for free. Just send me the track via email. For more info go to wolfsmusic.info

Thanks for the kind words and yes, you are right! At 2:32 was something in the background, which I fixed now.
You also remarked that you didn't know my initial Ballad version of this song, so I'm going to upload it. Let me know what your think about it.

Hi Wolfgang ...

This is a really nice song. It was a great choice to choose that unexpected style. Everything you've done with this is pro-level. The mix is particularly good. Vocals are great!.

My suggestion is to delete the ones you've posted as a group and then reload them, as each previous one either falls off page 1 or five days after the most recent one. That's the criteria I use, and I have found it to be a good balance. Just a suggestion.

If you simply leave the ones you posted closely together, they'll simply disappear onto the latter pages and get little to no attention. Your music is superb and deserves to be heard.

I enjoyed my listen very much.. Your music is exzcellent.

Best to you,

Alan

You can go to the song on this forum and simply delete everything on the post by highlighting the text, right-click, and in that drop-down menu, click on 'delete') and then type in "Post Deleted".

If there's a way to delete the entire post, I'm not aware of it.

Hope that's helpful.

Reggae always gives a song something special, I love that vibe.
Pretty good song.
Your vocals could have a little less reverb, you sing in a different space than the rest of the band.

Hi, Wolfgang.

Pleasant song! I didn't hear the other version, but this arrangement sounds good to me.

As B.D. suggested, perhaps a bit less on the vocals, though.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks for the compliment. Just for good measures, I've uploaded the first version (Ballad), but I also feel the second (Reggae) version is better.
