Very nice song this one. This song would deserve a good mix and also bass guitar could be used here in certain points.

I like the slightly gothic mood of the song. Those weird middle eastern loops on top are very good too, they add to the mystic feel of the song.

Vocal melodies are excellent! This song just needs someone to mix it and really make all the sounds bit more clear and fatter.

But dont get me wrong, this is quality stuff! Merci beacoup!

Paula Cole was my first thought when I heard your voice ... I ##### you're a fan, if not, you shortly will be!
She worked with Peter Gabriel, you work with Devodale and Dave, well ... that's equal ... ;-)
Absolute fantastic track!!!!!

peace, rei

Hi Rei4real,
Nice to meet you ;)
I confess I don't know Paula Cole but I'm always happy when I can discover artists thx to Looperbuddies . Thx a lot for your warm words and compliments to Devodale and Dave whose loops made this song .
Peace,
Carole

WOW! What a jem you've created hear! I am honored by the use of my piano loops in this cinematic and spatially vast soundscape you have painted with your beautiful voice. As I always say, I get more joy and happiness from hearing what others create with my loops, then I do writing the entire tune myself. This song is no different. In fact, you have energized me with this masterpiece, as I was emotionally down before I heard it. You dear girl, deserve a special set of loops created just for you. It may take a year, or a lifetime, but I will make some just for you.
Thank you again, for uplifting me. Downloaded, Faved, Liked, and Loved.
Sincerely, Devodale

Oooh, I'm so happy you liked it, Devodale !! This would be nothing without your incredible piano that I love so so much!
There's no more valuable compliment to me than one from a musician whose loops I borrowed ... And telling me it energized you goes straight to my heart . You allowed me to translate what's in my heart and I'm very grateful to you for that, Sir .
I was very moved by your offer ... This touches me deeply as I'm your French fan nb 1 !
Merci, merci, merci so much ! ...

Yep, Devodale's piano loops are so inspiring ! ... Not talking about Dave's duducks which I fell in love with .
Thx a lot for your warm words :)

This is a beautiful track Janis, beautiful indeed, it flows with an innocence of the heart that carry's one to a beautiful place..... please forgive the delay in me sending you the lyric's to my track 'Thoughts' very sadly my wife Dawn had a miscarriage last week and had been ill leading up to that. l will send them to you soon, hope your well. Mickey... peace

janis71 replied 27th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
Mickey, oh thanks ... "Innocence" is sthg I wanted to sing about, indeed . A song about "refined love" and music as a hyphen between two hearts .

I'm sending you both my warmest thoughts in these hard times you're going through . I'll pray for you with all my heart .

No worries 'bout the track, Mickey . Just take good care of you both .

A big hug to you ...

I learn a lot from you Carole. Very well done with this composition. Vocals and music blend perfectly that speaks to the heart and mind. The birds that hang around here whispering as I listen to your music. From beginning to end I am lost in this song. Thank you for sharing this moment of your thoughts. Peace.

Oh Dave ... you don't know how I'm moved any time I read undeserved words from you about my thingies ...
I'm very touched you liked it and felt how much of myself I put in it .
A big x and o to my CS .

Genre is cinematic because this could be... should be a soundtrack to a movie/anime/tv show. Loved the flutes for intro and through out the track. Very nicely put together and you seemed to sing words that worked well with everything. Creative talent you have.

janis71 replied 27th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
Oh hello Sir :)
Thx for your visit and your warm comment !
I fell in love with Dave's duducks and Devodale's piano . They allowed me to make a love song which, weirdly enough, sounds rather gloomy ... lol
Peace ;)

I agree with Foxdfive, I see one of your tracks and I have to check it out. I went through the first two pages of the 'featured tracks' trying to find something worthwhile to listen to before coming upon your track. You style is very haunting and interesting. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Scott

I've just listened to your delicious track and now I notice that you stopped by here . That's cool and I'm very happy you considered this little nothing as worth a listening, Scott .
I'll do, promise . Not sure I'll ever manage with happy tracks but I'll keep on trying ;)

Bonjour Carole ....

Que puis-je écrire, après tout ce qui a déjà été fait ici?
La diversité de ton talent vocale, m'impressionne toujours autant. Cela part dans toutes les directions mais avec beaucoup d'harmonies, et de technicité .... L'oiseau ici, c'est sans aucun doute toi, qui vole de branche en branche comme les roitelets, et les rossignols de mon jardin, ce matin.
Encore un instant magique, et je te remercie de le partager.

Dan

L'oiseau est fatigué, Dan . Il a plutôt des allures de corneille ces temps-ci . Mais tes mots me touchent profondément ...
Merci et pardon pour cette réponse à la con . Je me rattrapperai quand ça ira mieux, promis .
Je t'embrasse, cher Dan .

I have always loved your work dear. You have true talent I am so jealous of! What a gifted woman you are and you always use your voice for beautiful works! So glad you're apart of the looperman community! I think I'm headed over to your page to grab some pellas, and try another hard rock remix, hopefully with an evanescence sound. Did you also create the musical composition here? I was especially impressed by this too!! Much love!!
janis71
janis71 replied 18th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
Oh JJ ... you don't know how your words move me ... and how I'm glad to have a feminine look on this ;)
Didn't compose that music, just made my little jigsaw with loops and samples I have in the machine .
Nothing's beautiful here JJ, frankly . Careful, elegant and generous people such as you are beautiful . Oh yeah ! I'm eager to have a listen to your remix . If you've found a metal instrumental, I'm still in, sweetheart ;)
Take good care of you, little fairy . And thx a lot for your warm words and wishes . Let's keep our fingers crossed .

Hi Janis,
Love your voice, very gentle and touchy as usual.
I also like a lot the "spoken words" you add in the middle: they really help building some "tension" in the song.
Beautiful. Fav'ed
Very well done!

Hello mi amico,
Thx a lot for having stopped by !
What you say 'bout the spoken part is a interesting as I hesitated a lot and still think they sound a little awkward . So your view makes me real glad ;)
Thank you very much for your positive comment which makes me honoured, Domenico .
Take good care ;)

Creativity doesn`t need a genre Carole....I hear the feeling.....quite different for you...but definitely not weird...Your voice reminds me that Loreena McKinnett will be here at our local folk fest in the park next month and I plan on being there....You cannot do a song I would not like.....Ed

Aw, Ed ... Saying you "hear the feeling" is the most valuable comment you could make on that thingy ... Reading your words moved me a lot .. you know how much your opinion counts for me, my so dear friend ...
WILL SHE ??! Oh gosh !! Dunno what I'd give to be there ...!!
If only I could listen to her once in my life !

Oh sure I can !!
D'you want me to try ? haha .

Big hugs and kisses to you, Ed .
Take good care, my dear friend ;)

Aw Miss Soleil, I'm very honoured and touched by your words .
I love this kind of movies too and I'm happy you felt a parrallel in my little song . I wanted to express all the tension there is in the beginning of a love story . When you don't know where you're going but still want to go at all costs .
Thank you very much for your warm comment, mademoiselle !

All i can say is give me a dance frenchie bird lol

This is beautiful janis!,love that soft piano,then when you add that to the beats ,it takes on a slight industrial type vibe.!

But then when you add your beautiful vocals it takes on a more sensual feel,It reminds me of Kate Bush in parts and that slight darker Evanescence type vibe too!!

Not weird to my little pointed ear's this is Beautiful!.

Lovely Track made by a lovely frenchie bird!

You some awesome talent so big hug's

Sending you a breaze to keep this hot weather cool lol

Great Track janis!

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.
