Spectacularly brilliant!! I nearly cried! Any mixing issues that might be present are greatly overshadowed by the raw beauty of this tune. Well done, you!
Love & Light,
Mykael
P.S. I would love, love, love an opportunity to work with you!
I think an album of your last few songs uploaded on here could be quite popular and enjoyed by quite a range of people.
This sounded good within the first line or two. Backing vocals work well.
1:06 has a lot of noise on it. Not sure why. Same at 2:47.
Yes, there are a few plosives and lip sounds to iron out so perhaps need to re-record some lines.
Track is very quiet though I guess that's OK for a gentle one like this.
Not a whole lot more for me to say as it's such a sparse track. I'm sure it'll improve so good luck with that and I look for ward to giving feedback on additions and improvements.
Cheers - thanks for feedback D. Just wrote words on a sheet, played piano once thru and sang 4 times across it this afternoon - so lots to do - glad you like it so far :)
hi,
this is really good and I am enjoying a lot the song...
For me the background vocals (aaa..., uuuu... etc) are a bit too loud as well as the overdubbed vocals. And I think it's because that the piano has some quite long reverb: it sounds far although the vocals are close and intimate... The 'cinematic' orchestral strings are also 'too much' (for me): I suggest you to replace them and add some single violin part or something to keep it 'acoustic' The song is great and you could make it just with the (close recorded) piano or guitar and it will sound fine like this. Or give some more ambiance to the voice parts which sounds better with far piano and orchestra. But I think it is still very well done as it is now... Nice work and great vocals!

Hey thanks - yeah - all done today so work in progress and not really mixed it yet. Originally had a drier piano (Bosendrfr) but sounded a bit hard - will tweak.
OK, now you really must tell me. Is that you singing? And, did you do the lyrics as well as the melody? The song sounds so familiar, which to me means that it hits home. I know this was a test of a new mic and that you wanted to keep it simple, but I do think the levels could have been higher overall. I know that you have a tendency to post remastered versions of your tracks. I can see doing a bit more work on this one, but I don't think this needs a full-blown orchestral accompaniment. I think it is much more effective simple and relatively sparse, so the focus is on the voice and the words.

Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
