Hello Rita
It is a very human way to approach a mental illness. It is music and lyrics that explain the battle within the patient's mind. Very romantic and comprehensive.
You have sung very well and the beat chosen is really good.
Best regards, Anthony

Well done Rita, and yes, you can be proud of yourself, great job!

No, no buts...it is a beautiful song and the lyrics are great. All I meant is you gave something precious and took back something of no value...no, no it's a beautiful work Rita. Have a good day ahead.

I like it very much Rita !!! Very nice lyrics and beat and vocals !!! Cheersss !!!

It is a beautiful song this one Rita and it's of your prefered style. Nice lyrics. I particularly liked the "You gave me rust I gave you trust". Sweet and balanced around your voice.
Best regards, Anthony

Love the lyrics what cant you do you make beats you write songs and you sing you are becoming the full package sista great job on the track :)

Hello RitajustRita, more of your unique vocal style and work that is done so very well.....this track has very unique drum pattern that is different but effective.....it plays right into song cadence and is pretty cool.

Such sad but beautiful lyrics - I also loved the pulled back beat on this

Love it Rita! With every song your voice and your skill is rising and now for sure you are good musician, with story that is inspirational to many of us!
Cheers!

so nice to hear your work again

the chorus is my favorite part, had to replay it a few times hahah ... loved it

Nobody should say that you'll never be a singer because you are! Good music and voice.

Very nice and smooth track, I loved it.

great vocal again and great work by frenz too absolutely great track :_)

Absolutely outstanding - well done to you and The Frenz - Rita, this is superb! Kay0s

Hi Rita, I did not do much, just tweak a little bit.

The extra voices is you, I took 4 copies of your vocal for the chorus parts.
Each copy received some treatment to have slightly different timbre and timings like it was sang by someone else.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Reaper has stretch markers to compress/stretch parts of an audio item. So I stretched/compressed each copy on multiple points in the audio a little bit to have slightly different timings for each voice, then pitched up 1 octave and corrected the formant (avoid mickey mouse voice) so each voice sounds a little bit different, and different to your original)
==TECHNICAL=END=

Normally you would have a real choir. But you can simulate that yourself by singing multiple extra takes for the chorus ("choir") like you do for the background voice, now just more takes (separate recordings/audio files), and in this case preferably 1 octave higher to eliminate the need to pitch.
==TECHNICAL=START=
Put each "choir" take in a separate track in your DAW, match all roughly to your you main vocal so they sound like a "choir", then spread the voices by changing the PAN for each "choir" voice, you get width in the sound. If possible group them or send the output to a bus, put some reverb on the "choir" and take the "choir" volume down, the main vocal should virtually stand in front of the audience, the "choir" in the back accompanying the main vocalist, adjust to your taste.
==TECHNICAL=END=

The guitar part was a VST (NI Kontakt, lib Kontakt, Rock Guitar) with an automation on volume to fade the guitar sound in and out.

As mentioned before, I loved your original track and just had to "play" with it :-)

Very well done Rita !!! Wonderful vocals!!

Great choice of music, to go with your distinctive voice.
Sad song, hope it is not about yourself.

Hi Rita, well done, I'm loving it so much I had to play with it :-)

Beautifully done. Cool lyrics and I say again, I love the timbre of your voice. Ha, predictive text tried to change timbre to timber... That would have been weird lol.
