AI is an amazing tool to bring good lyrics to a public space! Great job with the use of this technology.
I like how you lift the melody at the end of the chorus.

Great production! Is AI involved? The singer looks a little 'artificial', but pretty 
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".

Cool punchy backing.
The video is VERY distracting to me...I noticed the A.I. character with mouth/tongue movements that are often indicators of someone who's grown out of a lisp....I kept looking for more signs as it went along. I had to switch back to this page and just listen.
The algorithm have really upped the incidental noises, breath etc.
Some melodic phrases seemed very similar but that is the real world with so few notes being manipulated by so many people.
Good rush of energy and a big beat.
Cheers

I love this song as you know, but I didn't see the video beofre. That's very cool, Brain. Your creativity is boundless and fruitful, my friend. I may be wrong but this is a terrific love song --no, I'm right. Well done! Thanks Marty, not only for your nice comment, but also for listening to my stuff again  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

B.D...I always love your stuff...you have if not mastered at least captured the new art of making music and music videos with the new tech of the day...the song is, as usual, produced so very well...the song itself has a really nice rock drive and the vocals fit right into the pocket so nicely...really superb effort on your part!

This is just a really excellent song all around. 100% on all fronts, How did you do the video? It looks very like a 3D modelling animation - the kind of images I create, but animated - though even if I had enough room on laptop, which is only used for 3D modelling, to be able to do animations it would take me at least a month to lip-sync a vocalist! Amazing job. Thank you for your nice words. Lip-syncing videos is not as difficult as it used to be. Until recently, I created them all with a software called iClone8 . The result looks like this video. The problem is that it's a lot of work, not because of the lip sync, but because of all the other movements (e.g. breathing) you do while you're singing. If you want to do it right, it's a lot more work than the song itself. And I'm first and foremost a (kinda) musician, not a director. Then I came across Hedra , and even if the beta version is a bit rough at the edges, it's a lot less work to create something interesting. No idea what the prices will be when the beta ends, or if they'll even survive. But it looks promising. It's really impressive what these new AI progams can do - I checked out Hedra and other new ones and I'm sure they're here to stay, or until something even better comes along. Re your video, I could do the same with a Daz Studio animation and also have the singer change expressions to go along with the lyrics, but besides not having the disc space on either LT or PC I'll never get around to doing anything like it as it would just way, way too long. I now think my saying it would take at least a month was an underestimate!

Song: Great ... lyrics, groove, production, power, mix ... everything spot on
Vocals: Excellent very nice
Video: How? What? Mind Blown!!! What did you use to get a avitar to mouth the words insync with the vocal track ... please let me know how you did that ... I want to steal that from you. LOL !!! Thank you very much, Elliott. You can find the answers to your question (and links) in my answer to WaoBand

Love songs are my favorite. Strong production that builds with the vocal and lyrics. Synth sounds awesome. I like the Lennon-esque twist at the end with the "maybe I'm wrong..."

That is a powerful vocal by Natalie with lots of dynamics and human subtleties. And Solaria does her part in a very professional manner also. Keep those gals on retainer. Good rock drive presented in an excellent mix with a strong group of BiaB session folks. That is a very cool video - the new vid software really does create something more human like in capturing the phrasing. It will be interesting to see see the progression of this tech. Enjoyed it!

This is what the world needs, Yet Another Love Song And a pure love song, not a break-up song ... or maybe I am wrong  Very nice pop rock song with good guitars and dynamic arrangement. And the vocalist has also nicely a lot of natural variation from calm to strong and from low to high. It's mesmerizing to watch that simple video, although some parts seem artificial, somehow she feels like a real person who can sing beautifully and releases her music regularily. Or is it you or she?? Maybe one day there are true AI persons posting their creative art on this forum Janne Thank you, Janne, for listening and your really nice feedback. I intentionally left all the quirks and hiccups in the video because I think it's kind of charming in its imperfection. Like Max Headroom in the movie of the same name.

Hey B.D.,
Man I have to say your stuff is super fun.
I really like the video, and as I said it's just a whole lot of fun.
The music is good too. You have a really excellent way with pop. It's pure pop, mind you, but somebody's got to do it right!
🙂

B.D.Thomas
This use by so many producers of this AI stuff is freaking me out!
I will probably never go there but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's place in music production!
You are one of the best I've heard making these songs and this production is very well done!
IMO the best listening experience is a song between 3&4 minutes! You got a lot accomplished in this shorter song!
Very good work!
Thanks, TB

Hi B.D.
I watched/listened to this yesterday (and again now) but didn't have time to leave a comment at the time.
Your music and videos are always among the best on the forum. This is no exception.
Terrific work on the synth voice, and the music is spot on. I ALWAYS enjoy your posts. You have a lot of talent!
Take care,
Alan Thank you very much, Alan, for your kind and always encouraging feedback. Mucho appreciated

Hi, B.D. Nice bit of pop! And a creative way out of a writing bind! What more could I want? How about a banjo solo? Thanks David I love Banjo solos, especially when they are played at -90 dB
