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!

Bravo!!!

BaoBou replied 14th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago
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.

I do think that we are our top critics when it comes to our creations ourselves but I really think it's not out assume it if it sounds good but I'm still learning don't have the ear quite yet so the unfamiliar it sounds good. That's cool that your your own inspiration.

BaoBou replied 8th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago
Out of *tune, not out of sync ;) meaning the pitch is a bit off. I played this on a guitar with old strings, and in a cold room, and lalala papapa anyway, many excuses, but here we are, it's slightly out of tune and (having grown up playing violin) this is something I'm sensitive to :D

I saw this was up and couldn't wait to find the time to give it a good listen. And for sure it was well time infinitely well repaid. I love the pace of this, your vox are top notch, keys are top notch and the guitar just sings. Man you even got some strings in there too! Its a great composition, I know how much work it takes to get something as complex and well considered as this up and running. So well done man, you've done yourself proud.

Hi BaoBou,

Such a sweet! intro & then led into more guitar deliciousness, this is really good! work here and I have to say in music creativity is everything I don't think any hard and fast rules need to be followed that's what makes everyone of us unique right? I never follow the crowd I'll be the trend setter for others to follow if anything, but I like what I'm hearing here & I have to agree with our good friend & brother in music Mark, this just needs a little tightening/sharpening up and you'll really have something. The overall idea is absolutely there so if you continue on this trajectory, you'll certainly have a winner! no doubt. I like your voice too. Kudos!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 5th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you so much Angie! Your comments always make my day and so do your tracks. It was absolutely lovely to hear your latest one!

BTW I did update and clean this one up a bit... it's not perfect yet but it's a step better. Step by step, bit by bit... and then on to the next ;)

Your approach really helps and inspires me; no needless tinkering about the last minor detail, no, you make real music, warts and all, and anyone who hears it loves it. Thanks a lot!!

BaoBou. Lovely entrance melody and a solid drum mix that sets the pace. Your guitar adds a layer of life that cannot go unnoticed. Now for your vocals, sorry I absolutely cannot unhear that illustrious Donald Fagen flavor! Just tighten up the overall mix a touch, then push this all the to perfection. For me this is a great track, and thanks for sharing your creativity

Nice track.
With a bit more work on it, this could become a really good track, nevertheless I like it how it is.
The structure is ok for me, I enjoyed listening the whole song ...
Also very good choice of instruments.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 8th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks a lot my friend. I think I still want to fix the guitars (some of it is a bit out of tune) and then I think it's ready to go into the world on its own (Looperman is my playground ;) )
Thanks for listening and your comments, much appreciated!

Hi Bao, the basis of your track is promising, I will be careful not to tell you what to do to improve the piece, I think you are qualified enough for that! good job dude!

BaoBou replied 30th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago
Haha, please do tell, different people hear different things and being fully objective to your own babies is the hardest thing.
On my list is:
- re-record the drums (made a start with that)
- rewrite and rerecord the vocals (I have the melody now figured out I think)
- I need a stronger climax around 4-4:30
- the second part with the strings is still messy. I'll probably remove the vocals there, and I might delete the entire section (3:04-3:20, roughly).
Anything I missed?

Ahh, my dear B Hello.
You are a brilliant guitarist and a modest man too.
This is a wow, and it has the wow factor.
I hope it's going into Youtube.
I love it
Well done.

What is not to like like about the track? There are great changes, great playing on all the instruments and the singing. What can I say that hasn't already been said by the looper family?

I like the little, subtle things in songs like this. For example, the sound of the ride cymbal, it was clear but not too loud, to me it sat perfectly in the mix. Also the way the lead guitars play together, it's intricate but if you listen closely, there is a lot going on. Good stuff!

BaoBou. For me this work is quite impressive. From the overall cohesive quality of the band. The type of sound I’d love to hear live. The tape type of saturation through out is bossed up creativity. Now your vocals…… for me is Donald Fagen zone. Nice work.

You know I like Steely Dan so if my vocals remind you of them... I'm happy :)

I like Richard Osman, Huge Intelect. I loved his interview with Frankie Boyle a few years back, pulled no punches. I like this tune mate, really laid back and a pleasant listen to tonight.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 21st Nov 2022 - 3 years ago
I need to watch that interview again. Many people were upset about that, as Frankie Boyle is also to some extent the voice of the nation (or the voice of the shouting drunk in the park, at least), but I noted Osman was on a recent episode of Boyle's "New World Order" (S06E01) and Frankie called him "the smartest guy I know" so I guess he doesn't mind.
Thanks a lot for the listen Steve! The music is smooth, the lyrics are somewhat uncomfortable.... I hope that contrast works a bit :)

Danke! I usually focus on guitars a bit much and wanted to give this song a bit different feel - which is actually not too different from your tracks!
