Forgive me for being a bit of a rabbit, but here's another one: https://soundcloud.com/divinemetime/fallen-angelWasn't happy with the the original style choice, but it led me to strip it way back to just 2 acoustic guitars and a bass which I think works well. It will be interesting to hear thoughts on the mix as when it is this simple, it feels like a new ballgame, so to speak. The new thing for me this time around was using a style change. Song is saved with bar changes for Styles,Volume Changes, Style is _CMPFMDF.STY (Campfire, Medium Fingerpicking) RealTracks in style: ~~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 RealTracks 362 Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTrack 2474 Bass As always, thanks for listening and for your input. there is just no way back down the road up ahead is blocked stone upon stone now there’s no direction left for you to go The only way is up, my dear Got to step into your fear Let your heart break Straighten that halo Get off your knees Stand humbly Feel the pain Let it rain Now the clothes you’re wearing soaked to the bone won't let you turn from truth you’ve been shone Realize you’ve fallen torn your pretty wings All of the heart songs You were meant to sing have given to other voices All because of your own choices Let your heart ache Fallen angel Get off your knees Stand humbly Get ready Be empty it’s all illusion it’s just another lie you believed in om tat sat

Very nicely done! Cool song, and your vocals are (again) super. Those bare arrangements can be scary, but you pulled it off. Love your harmonies, too. My only suggestion is that the BGVs MIGHT not be panned so severely, since the way I interpret the song they are the inner voice of the narrator and so could be closer to the narrator in the soundscape. Or not. This is all about your vision, and I think you've done a lovely job as is.

This so beautiful! The sparse arrangement fits this so perfectly. I agree with Ron's comments about bringing the BGVs closer to the center for the reason he mentioned. He has a lot of excellent musical insights.
Regardless, this was a gorgeous listen!
Best to you,
Alan

Hi, Beth. Sounds good! Your vocals are front and center here, as they should be.  There's an odd sound at 1:58, but that's a really minor nit. I enjoyed listening.

WOW Beth - your song and vocals are so beautiful, full of feeling & emotion!!
Excellent recording/mixing with a beautiful voice up front - a slight audio glitch at 1.55 but a minor nit as David wrote.
Very well done, you have another fan!!
Best, Carl (UK)

Thank you, David, for listening with such care and for pointing out that little nit. I can hear it now; may not be a big thing but I'd certainly prefer it weren't there.

"Fallen Angel} by Tilted Halo. LOVE IT!! Love this song of yours too. Your vocals are so good, and I like the in-and-out harmony with that second and third vocals panned left and right. Had a relisten with headphones, and it's even more engaging. Very cool. Excellent choices on keeping the instrumentation out of the way of vocals. Love it all just the way it is, Beth.

Another excellent deep-themed song, Beth. Great vocals and nice harmonies, plus the instrumentation is well mixed. You've the sort of voice that would do great in a duet with Janice of Janice & Bud.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
