There is professionally styled music, where everything is "right", technically flawless to the point, smooth, without any edges, you hear it and... nothing happens, you say, nice, and that's it.
And there is music that "speaks" to you. It's a bit like being read a fairy tale - as a child, but also as an adult - and the verbally recited emotions of the fairy tale characters are physically transferred 1:1 authentically to you.
The term mirror neurons spontaneously comes to my mind.
This song also touches me. One can talk about the term "soul" for 100 years; does it exist at all? and if so, how does it show itself, how is it to be defined, etc.? I think there are things that are too big for man, make him speechless, he can only "grasp" them intuitively.
I don't know your father, but the way he knows how to communicate musically, he seems very familiar to me without a sense of strangeness.
Thanks! You are right, we were aiming for everything to be played and recorded so the Bass and drums are mostly just placeholders in hopes to get someone to play those tracks for us eventually. Great catch lol.
I then slowly came to the image of pleasantly flattering sounds, the intensity of which is barely noticeable at first, but increases over time and gradually draws the listener into a tender, warming cocoon.
The composition is wonderfully successful, especially the "edge" guitar with its impressively chiselled, delicate expression is great. To have these given completely equal status alongside the vocals, without neither vocals nor guitar losing their independence, neither being subject to the other, I repeat: great!
The term "integrity" also comes to my mind in your song - authentic, unadulterated, intact.
Since you are the son: Sons don't always have to listen to their fathers, but in some things - like here with music - it is certainly extremely valuable ;-)
Wow, powerful words! My father and I really became better friends during the Covid pandemic and started recording for fun. It became a passion for both of us, and I really feel blessed to still be able to spend this quality time with him and help share his talent with the world. Thanks much!
Wow! Wonderful song! The vocals and instrumentation are exceptionally good! There is still a little work to be done on the mix. Every now and then the singing unfortunately disappears a little. But you can hear two wonderful voices here.
I hope there is more to hear about this!
All respect, excellent work with small weaknesses!
Kind regards, Manuela
Thanks! you are very correct, when recording this was one of our early songs so trying to mix, theres like 50 different mic'd tracks for guitar and vocals alone. I just wanted to share this version and hopefully either re record or have a professional help mix it down. Too hard for me lol. PS I love your music
Much appreciated! I have a lot more coming. He is 64, been playing since he was 16. A real master guitar player, we have come up with some really fun and different songs together. The vocals, we aimed for a California Dreaming vibe. Guitars all mic'd up amps or acoustic.
Please do. I usually don't get too crazy with the change ups unless I'm really into a song. But honestly I haven't produced and recorded over a beat in years, so I should take more aim at making more dynamic beats
You can hear that the kick is off beat
but still it doesn't bother.
Very different from when I first started and i made a lot off beat and quite disturbing lol
Its a good relaxing beat.

I had to think about the term "pull".
