This is another song from my archives. I first started ‘My Home’ a number of years ago. Just recently, I re-discovered it and thought I’d see what I could do with the latest version of BIAB and some vocals with the Synthesizer-V vocaloids. This is where that thought took me.

I hope you enjoy listening. Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the song and its production.

Noel,

You write such beautiful music...

This is an excellent ballad. Love the arrangement and how you have used the Synth V voices. So natural and emotive. A real accomplishment.

The mix is also outstanding. Big and clear with excellent separation.

As always, I thoroughly enjoy your songs.

Bob

Excellent work Noel.
Again I miss YOUR voice but the synth one has your phrasing and gives a sense of you.


Cheers

Noel, super save from the archive! Very nice BiaB arrangement and mix. The vocals have a lot of pleasing dynamics in the 2nd half that really give the song a lift. Very finely crafted all the way around!

Hi Bob.

Thanks heaps once again for taking time out to listen to my work. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your comments, too. I think I'm finally getting the hang of Synth V.

All the best,
--Noel

Hi Ray.

It's great to see you again. I hope all is travelling well for you up north. Trust me, Kevin sings much, much better than I do. That said, I promise that the next time I post a song, I'll do the singing. At the moment, I'm putting the finishing touches on a song about a tree. Given the speed at which I work, it will probably be a couple of months before I finish it. You'll get to hear it eventually, though.

Thanks for dropping in!
--Noel

Noel, this song has all the warmth and humanity I have come to associate with your songs. So beautiful, full of emotion ... I love it. Kevin is a great choice for this song, though, like Ray said, I do miss your own voice smile The lyrics are absolutely stunning, of course ... wow. Thank you for sharing this really, really beautiful song with us!

Beautifully sad - from the arrangement to the lyrics to the vocals, everything is perfect.
Really very well done, Noel!

Wow, that's a great piece of music! I even like Kevin! I wrote a song by the same title once, but yours is more of a journey making home all the more precious.

Captivating gentle melody. Synth voice sounds good, although I like yours too. Good choice for the piano. Production is clean and builds well.

A good re-do, Noel.
Sounds like Kevin is covering Noel (and imitating him).
