Step By Step 7 - Through The Clouds - BaoBou

14th Dec 2022 15:04 - 3 years ago
Description : Monday afternoon I had the devastating news that a far away friend is diagnosed with cancer (treatable, but still).
These are the moments we want to be with our friends, hug them, talk, cry, maybe laugh. But sometimes we are far from our friends and family, and that's not so easy.

But we are creators, and we can always let them know how we feel with a song. This one is for you, Cindi.
================
Here's a rare video of me performing it :)

Yikes man, so sorry to hear about your friend. One of my really close friends was diagnosed this year too actually and sitting by without being able to DO anything to help is so frustrating. Your care and concern for her really do shine through in this song. From what you've said above it sounds like you were trying to say something deeper and more impactful than just the words you sang in this song and you definitely succeeded. Well done!

It's true that emotions make the best tracks.
Unfortunately this is terrible what she is going through right now but let's hope and assume that it will be ok.
To hear such a beautiful track from a friend will definitely give her a lot of support.
Very well done!!

nice track bro, can feel the emotion in this one. its hard news to be given, that's one scary word cancer. and its not easy when your not living close to said person, you want to be there just to say i got you. best wishes to Cindi, im sure she knows how you feel and this just backs up your words great work mate.

Thanks a lot Paul!
You know what, I just played it again and it was great to again sing along at full power. I'd be looking forward to playing it live even (too bad I can't clone myself to sing and play all instruments at the same time ;) ).

Sometimes the best work we do is when we have an emotional goal, as you have presented to us here. The song is sublime, and the mix is great. I really like your vox treatments on your voice, it fits your style well. I could hear you play this live and extend the instrumental part as a coda at the end, sort of how Roxy does that on "More than this", or Mark Knopfler with "On every street". Otherwise Brilliant and my thoughts are with Cindi's recovery, Your a good friend to her mate!

Thanks Steve!
Yeah you hit the nail on the head as usual. I'll work a bit more on the bridge (wherever we are) and the ending (I'm here for you) but this'll do for now :)

Beautiful heartful dedication. For sure music is a inner emotion changer or healer i should say. Obvious this is not a great situation but she did inspire you to create this good work man love the singing the lyrics sure helped her a lot

Thanks for your warm remarks buddy!
Yeah it was cathartic, which is I guess why I wrote it in 24 hours. Let's hope it helps her a bit in the tough times ahead!

Thanks a lot buddy, much appreciated! Yeah I'll cope, of course the main burden will be on her, but she's strong and has a good husband. We can only aim to help!

Thank you so much Angie. Yeah there is real emotion here - sometimes my lyrics just tell a story, but this is straight from the heart. I'm also surprised at how I wrote the whole thing basically in 24 hours. I'll pass on your wishes, much appreciated!

And good to see you active these days, you posted some wonderful songs!

Thank you Aleksandr!

They say my friend will be ok, but I think 2023 will be a very tough year... surgery and radiation is not a lot of fun. But medical science is amazing in how much we can do these days and how much is considered treatable, so I hope for the best.

Description : This is a re upload of a song that I uploaded here a long while back. I made an official music video for the track which is out on YouTube now. The video features me and is very heavy on VFX. Search ' Sweet Seventeen - Sayam Raj Sagar (Official Music Video) 'for the full 4K VIDEO on YouTube.
Hope you enjoy my futuristic song and I would love some feedback on the video. Thanks guyz! The song is fully original and is not from the AI era. I created it earlier in 2024

Description : Remaster and rework of older track that just didn't feel quite finished. It was lacking guitar work, and a better arrangement. I think it's in a good spot. I never did write lyrics for this, the vocal samples just seemed to fill it out pretty decently.

Description : Underground sample-based hip hop with overdriven low-end, broken-beat swing, sparse funky piano chops and heavy turntablism. Beat gaps and sudden mutes create hard-hitting drops, with a raw, dusty, low-frequency sound.
