Hey BB! The way you mesh easy listening with soulful grit is your trademark. Your vocals hit home. Another great song.

You're a really great writer, musician and producer. I can imagine this track stripped down and slower as well as with full orchestral's and backing. Maybe great songs have this malleable quality to inhabit different spaces through universal sentiment's, this does that. I have some written material this has inspired me to pick up again, these are my most personal works and with permiso it would be valuable to share them before they enter a public arena. Wishing wellness and full bodied creative drafts.

Wow, what great compliments, thank you so much!! I would of course LOVE to play it with an orchestra, but I don't have one at home ;) Maybe I'll make a version with accoustic guitar though.

Hello BaoBou, I throughly enjoyed your track, it's a great portrayal of a man's journey to his chosen one....the musical accompaniment was well done with keys and alwaus present guitar backing the journey as well. The whole story is well told......great job.

Soothing with a sense of lonesomeness and longing. Same reasons I love Colin Hay. Well done.

This has a southern American Rock feel to it, like V.Driver said I can hear Bob Seger, but perhaps even later Allman Brothers or the newest Generation of Lynrd Skynyrd, which is very different than old skynrd, but still very southern and distinct. And of course, I hear your own distinct sound, as well. And that's just the connections my brain could make - it's also it's own kinda thing. IDK about country, at least in the modern American sense, most of it is mind numbing and (to me) mildly infuriating. This is none of those things, thank the Pantheon of Music Deities lol. I'll be glad to hear how this one progresses

BaoBou replied 27th Feb 2025 - 1 year ago
Thanks so much buddy. You're right, it's a bit Americana/Jackson Browne/Little Feat kind of feel - you might be too young for that and it might not be your taste but those guys had some amazing music that I think survives 50 years later. Oh and btw there's of course the link between Lynrd Skynrd and the Dutch, so that makes sense too :)
(Maybe Tom Petty is also a reference)

Good tune my friend especially that you said it is work in progress, you kind of feel in motion while listening to it. If you happen to take the train in France you may getting a lot more time for composing than you expect (strikes, delays, natural disasters, ...)! Just kidding, making music while traveling sounds like a lot of fun. I should try it someday.

BaoBou replied 21st Aug 2025 - 1 year ago
Hahaha It's interesting how we all complain. I live in the UK and everyone hates the trains (expensive and delayed), my friends in the Netherlands do the same, the French do the same, the Germans see their rail empire fall apart... but you know what, I will always love the French trains and seeing the SCNF always gives a bit of joy to my old heart. And I need to visit Paris again soon, because I need some decent food.

Much better listen this time. I could hear your lovely melodic, subtle and slightly yearning guitar licks. You really are a very good lyricist to boot.

I was thinking again about train songs. The other one that comes to mind and is a fav is Dylan's Takes a lot to laugh, takes a train to cry. Have a good one BB

BaoBou replied 30th Jan 2025 - 1 year ago
Dylan and the Who. I'm happy :)

Top song writing again and vocals so good and clear in the mix. Suits the mood I always get sitting in a train tho the other train song association that comes to my mind is The Who's 5:15 off quadrophenia but that's a different kettle of fish. By the by, your writing reminds me of The Humps here in looperman but he hasn't been around for a while unfortunately.

BaoBou replied 29th Jan 2025 - 1 year ago
Getting compared to the Who can't be a bad thing ;) I'll listen to that one though, I imagine it's quite different!

You are a wonderful lyricist - the emotion is created within 3 seconds from the Marrakehs and your voice -The elec guitars heighten the emotion to another level and contrast beautifully to your voice, so full of raw feeling. You are v talented Kay0s

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
