I Understand - BaoBou

30th Aug 2025 18:23 - 1 year ago
Description : Updated vocals at the start and the end. I think it's much closer to my vision now. Thanks for all your help!
=========================
This is an emotional track, as you may guess. It's a first draft, but I want to get it out of my head (so to speak) so I can start listening to it with a fresh mind.
Thank you all for listening and commenting. Feel free to be critical - I always try to listen to all the great advice and I've learned a lot here from all of you!

BB! I didn't get a chance to hear the first round vocals but this round sounds nice. Good instrumentation as well. Your guitar tone fits perfectly. Good work! Keep them coming.

Way more projection now in vocal - bits reminded me of Bowie - good job ;)

Great to hear... especially the comparison to Bowie is sort of a dream come true, even if it's only bits.

It's been a while eh. Lovely intro and piano with a heart felt vocal. And your guitars sound as good as ever. That's such a full, warm and gritty sound. Quite stripped back in a way, there nothing there that's extraneous. Good job my friend. Zoot.

Your voice, firstly, is unique, at least to my ear. You have a very distinct sound. Somehow I can imagine it being instantly recognisable, on any track, tbh.

Secondly, those lyrics feel poignant. Well written, well performed, very emotive... Somewhat coincedentally, your lyrics seem to chime in some ways with those I wrote for Yesterday (thanks, btw, for the offer of performing!).

Thirdly, I like how your track develops over time, gaining motion and energy as it progresses towards its crescendo.

I found the track to be moving and very memorable. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mike, that's a really sweet and well thought out comment! And yes, loss and missing is always a great source for lyrics (hug)

Wow BaoBou met deze heb je jezelf echt overtroffen.
De muziek is prachtig net als je zang en lyrics al is die zielig.
Je zegt dat je zelf nog niet tevreden bent over je stem maar ik vind juist dat je stem hier heel mooi en krachtig uit komt.

Hello BaoBou, I think the way you laid it in your style gives it exactly what makes it work in my opinion....the emotional beginning slowly opens up to more tempo with the guitar, I think its a great piece of work BaoBou style.....

Thank you very much Glenn! I'm not fully happy yet but with the better vocals I think it's going in the right direction! :)

Hey BaoBou.
I love it! At first, I was thinking it would sound amazing if the tempo switched up about a quarter or halfway through into something more upbeat-maybe with some guitar, a touch of EDM, and your voice carrying a country-feel tone. That would definitely pop. But then the guitar came in around 1:40, and wow beautiful. It hit perfectly and conveyed the emotion just right.

BaoBou replied 1st Sep 2025 - 1 year ago
Haha yes! Originally I wrote it as a piano only version but then as I was listening I grabbed my guitar and just started the power chords. BTW I've already changed the tempo a bit from the original (10ster). It really gave it a better energy I think.

I like it very much my friend !!! Emotional and somehow so yours.... But yes , get it out of your head for a while , make an other music track and then listen to it again !! I think this is the professional way to make things even better....!!!! (Ego panta viazomai file mou na teleivsv mia mousikh .... and I almost always regret it...) I wish you a great success !! Cheerssssssssssssssssss !!!

Eyxaristw poly file mou! Nai swsta, by taking a couple steps back I hear better what worked and what didnt' The start and end need to be stronger but in the middle with a bit drums I think I'm really close.
regarding the viazomai, artsists often have ADHD and we suffer from a combination of procrastination and accepting the incomplete - but that is sort of what really works.
I have a process in three stages which is essentially Looperman -> Youtube -> Spotify.
Looperman: I accept it's a draft and just get it out there to get feedback
Youtube: some weeks later I listen again before putting it on youtube and clean up vocals and drums (usually that's the most urgent)
Spotify: I go over everything again, make a new mix, sometimes get a proper mixer involved, I really spend some weeks to fix all the details and get it out there.
With these three steps I feel I get the most out of it. It's never perfect, but I can concentrate on just writing and producing without being held back by trying to get it perfect.

It has your tag, it is absolutely BaoBou. It is in your voice but it is also the composition with the varied harmonies and scales (if I get it right). Anyhow, I like the way all these are tied into a song, with lots of emotion and musicality.
Best regards, Anthony
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 1st Sep 2025 - 1 year ago
Eyxarstw. Yes, I used almost every scale I think: A, Ab, B, Bb, C, D, Db, Dm, Eb, F, G, Gm. Not sure why I had to make it so complicated but sometimes that's where your hands go! :D

The tune instantly engages you to an emotion of longing and tears. To do that so quickly, within first few notes, is indeed a talent. The lyrics are heartfelt and I can imagine them in a musical. One observation - your voice is an emotional voice but when I listened, it felt like you could open it up a bit more, relax into the words. Other than that one minor critique, a very touching and original track
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 1st Sep 2025 - 1 year ago
I love the observation about the musical. You're right, it would definitely fit!
I also love your observation about the vocals. I totally agree and I also thought about re-recording them before posting but I wanted to focus on the structure for now. Especially the first bars and the intro totally deserve better vocals!

nothing to be critical about bro, its a draft, the master is to come and there will be changes, the vocal is dominant in this cut, but the content is good they will shine later emotional and deep i look forward to it's progress
