It s also something we avoid talking about - what Osman called the shame of being ashamed.
If you want to hear him talk about it (you will recognise he s pretty much a straight source for these lyrics :D ), look for The Untold Story Of A TV Legend s Addiction, from roughly minute 45.
He s extremely honest and open about it and for me it was cathartic to even listen to him.
Thanks for listening to me, buddy!

I might of course decide not to follow up but I really really appreciate you taking the time to listen actively, note something and point it out.
That's awesome and I wish everyone would do that, because I learn every time :)

You have nothing to be ashamed of with this track
and that warm lovely voice.
Brilliant track my friend.
Really well done

The comment about the piano is interesting, because I was discussing it yesterday with someone who said he especially liked the combination of piano and bass. But I think I know what you mean, some of the individual piano notes are too sharp/loud right? Especially in the more silent parts.
Yeah, that's a good catch, and I can fix that. Thanks buddy!!

Your inspiration is back!!
After I listened again I noticed it's all a bit disjointed but that's ok. I can work on that :)

2 things:
1) you have to add some strings, this is gonna give it extra depth.
2) a background choir to accompany the lead voice.
For the rest everything is spot on to my ears, your recording is very clean and polished, the only thing apart from the above left to do is re-record the vocals, but you've laid down the foundation for what this baby is going to end up like.
Great work!!!

thank you for introducing to a new form, the selections you made are masterworks, you give a timeless perf on this. dude did you translate these, that is a hella thing in itself.
No, my Japanese is pretty non-existant beyond konnichiwa and sayonara ;)
I based this actually on a Dutch blog post. That guy deserves all the credit, because this is also 1000 year old poetry. penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/ is the post - you may not speak Dutch, but you'll see how pretty he shaped the words.
Awesome job, and I tried to capture that spirit.
Thanks again my friend!

You definitely have enough for an EP, you just need to EQ it a bit to master it i think, maybe a little bit of compression on the master track to blend/glue the rain sample together with the rest of the track.
I use Soundcloud as my distribution service to all other major music streaming platforms. Soundcloud has a 'Pro Unlimited' account where you can ditribute unlimited tracks, you just pay a fixed amount per year but you can ditribute unlimited tracks instead of paying per track to distribute.
Goeie tips! Ja dat is geen gek idee, dan kan ik eerst beilig op SOundcloud publiceren, misschien een beetje spelen en tracks uitwisselen, en als ik tevreden ben naar Spotify etc. Goed idee!
Mixing en Mastering is idd niet mn sterke punt :eyeroll: :D ik probeer het te leren, maar het zou helemaal niet gek zijn om 4 tracks te kiezen, exporteren en naar een expert te sturen om er het meeste uit te halen.
Mijn dank is groot!

I think you have enough for a ep?
And you have a distrobution service to put it on spotify etc?
But most likely I'll do that on my Soundcloud first ;)

Or should I have called you Mr. Robert Lee Frost?
Mate in this track your voice is really good and clear but really the ear candy is the sound of your guitar.
I loved it mate.
Great track.
Well done
Maj
Actually the credit maybe goes to a Dutch blogger who wrote a post on these 2 small poems ("word flowers").
penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/
He added an image with the graphic representation of rain falling on a car window, and that got me thinking... I made a quick rhythm on the drumset... Some keyboard chords... And then the song wrote itself. Some songs just have a mind of their own.
Thanks for listening and your always positive words Maj! But I need more criticism from you, you have the knowledge after all :)

OK ok ok, I will have to admit that my girlfriend is right as usual. I changed the rain sounds... let me know if it's better now :D
on EP track 3 - The Rains of the Fall by BaoBou
Yeah my girlfriend said it sucked, and promoted another clip that I didn't like. I didn't want too "watery" sounds, I don't want people to run off for a pee before I can finish the track. Now I have to start to understand foley too? :D
If you can find a better one here, let me know...:
