this is a candle in the dark, mate. courageous verse and soulful delivery create a sheltered space, encouraging and healing vibes. you got the music in you, brother — i’m glad you’re here.

thankyou bro, it was courageous :)) but its the truth, if you think about it, we give each other a lot of time we're all like a family so why not love 'em eh. you all let me go to a place that makes me happy and escape reality at times i appreciate you and i'm so glad your here too Mike

Great composition as always Dime!
This one is different from your other stuff mate
That or it's just my first time hearing you sing on your vocals.

Maybe adding some adlibs in the background or a harmonizing will help the vocals take up more "space" if that makes sense?

Bravo,
Z

Very soulful. Beautiful intro. I just wish I could hear the lyrics better. Sounded like you were pouring out your soul on this beat! The vibes are excellent on this record! Good job!! PS if you ever need someone to help you with your mix hit me up!!

thanks for the check out KIESER, i had a bit of trouble with this, i think ive corrupted the file, it doesn't sound like this in my daw but it might be something to do with my vocal processing ive just set a new processing chain in place using 3 different bus channels and side chaining fx in, im still getting to grips with engineering. sends and sidechaining getting the panning right etc
and tbf ive done loads of collabs with the community and ive always done the production mix and master. ive never had anyone mix my vocal except one friend here, so i will reach out to you for a collab. ive got a few on so please bear with me. i like your concepts, out the box thinking. im a writer and people consider that my strong point, i only started singing cos i wanted my words heard, i will try any genre but i love rapping roasting tracks and taking the piss. ive another soft and then 2 rap on looperman beats, im a big support of our community too, a good guy, if you think we could work together id be happy to oblige bro, HMU if your good

Sorry Paul, it really is the last time, no matter what happens next!
@Angelusyeux777SC I think you are a very good and talented artist!!! (I'm serious!). I also don't dispute your rights and accept that you do what you want!
But I do think that your communication is pretty one-sided. Allowing comments isn't about fishing for compliments. It's about active participation in the community. And since you also shut down LM's internal messaging system, I think you're isolating yourself. I find it extremely bad and also sad when the only way to communicate with you is through someone else's account.
You could have yelled at me directly.
Well, the topic is over for me. I wish you all the best.
Kind regards Manuela
@dimestop
Thanks!

now girls, i love a bit of spice as you both know. i can be spicy myself, i am a huge supporter of our community as are both of you, we just do it different ways. i am a lucky guy to share with so much talent and you both give me time that i appreciate enormously.
we choose what feels better for us and remember lots here just take.
this track is a tribute to you two as well as everyone else who gives and to see petty arguments on its comments doesn't look good for the people I'm singing about to anyone considering maybe joining.
i will take this track down soon and replace it with another sweet track I'm finishing. you both brought your points and I'm happy with both your opinions and I'm not bashing disagreements here, that's part and parcel of life i will continue as i do with you both, please don't let this spoil an otherwise good friendship.
as in the track
sometimes we have clashes don't think it matters its the size of YOUR hearts that matter.
Passion acts in strange ways make waves bring happiness back :))) xx

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I thought my message was to you and not manu, ok well this track is one of your BEST! as IV already said.

@ manu, there is a choice to allow or disallow, I choose to disallow for my own reasons, receiving a world of comments and praise does not spur me on or keep me strong, I know I have a voice & talent but your right even a teenager can find a way to download, you are stating the obvious to like I don't know BUT It's My choice still isn't and withe regards to isolating I'm not Isolating if I were I would not share the love on peoples tracks I do what I want and disallowing and blocking comments Is MY choice thank you very much. Have a nice day.

hi Angel, i think sometimes comments are taken out of context, they dont show emotion and if you misinterpret it, it can feel hurtful. i totally accept why you have your comms closed and thats your choice, i respect that you are more comfortable commenting on others work, i wouldn't describe it as isolating yourself more about controlling your contacts and what you feel comfortable with, your a great artist and a great member of our community and you play i big part. you and Manu are two of our biggest female artists in my opinion i am grateful i can call you both friends and respect you both for your input to the community

@Angelusyeux777SC
Hello, I can understand your reservations. But I think every teenager is able to still download a song even if it is not approved for download, like your songs are. For this reason, it makes no sense to block the download or to disable the comment function.
@dimestop
Sorry Paul, I used your message window to send a message to Angelusyx. But unfortunately there is no public way to tell her my opinion because she isolates herself.
And now to you, my friend. I keep discovering new interesting sides to you. Your dancing qualities are WOW! Even my two daughters are very fond of it. But please tell me: where was the video taken? The picture in the background is fantastic!
Kind regards Manuela
dimestop
dimestop replied 13th Feb 2024 - 1 year ago
its fine Manuela, i also agree that if your tracks are not for download there is ways and means of just taking it anyway. but i do agree with everyone having the option to disable comments if thats their wish. some people have been trolled and ive seen some poor comments racism etc in my time. we dont get much but like everywhere it happens. i call it out immediately. ive never had any trash, not that it would bother me anyway i would just hack the idiots. the dance videos were done in parks and gardens in my city or in Digbeth the heart and soul of graffiti and live music in the city, i wish i had reels from when i was young though in my pomp but them days videoing was rare i do have stuff on cine reel somewhere but the quality is garbage most of the background pics are graffiti artist i know. lots have had worked commissioned in the area

Hi P,

Yea, the sweet words comment was about what you said about the last track of mine sorry if I wasn't clear, I hid it coz had some people finding ways to download my songs without permission even without allowing downloads. I know this is for the community, I gathered that :) I wanted to hear your version you said you did on the same BM4real track but maybe you deleted it?...Well I'm a stickler for making myself clear so there's no misunderstandings. I never would have put you down as a "nasty bighead" who would have ever thought that about you but you are a straight-shooter as iv always said which is what I respect. I'm still hooked on this tho :)
dimestop
dimestop replied 13th Feb 2024 - 1 year ago
i deleted it as i was at my limit ive still got the track its such a good beat, and the reason i put nasty big head is because some of my tracks are lets say disparaging towards our community and maybe why some people dont reply to my comments they may assume thats really me, when its tongue in cheek really, no one has ever called me for it but its just what i think sometimes but im still smiling

Nice to hear some soul from you Paul.

Soon I will listen to all your other tracks that I missed.
But this one is very beautiful.
Well done Paul.

An intense declaration of love!
I hope the person knows that they are meant. If that person knows, they will be very proud of you!
About the song itself. You wanted a little too much for my taste. Your delicate voice is sometimes dominated too much by the background voices. I would spread the whole thing out a bit. The stage is big enough for everyone to fit on it. They don't have to push each other away. You are the boss, you have to assert yourself. Everything else should only be a supporting accessory. Take the background vocals out of the middle. Place them to your right and left. Take back the background voices in particularly important parts of the text or even remove them completely.
Just my opinion.
But it stays that way, beautiful declaration of love!

i wanted a little too much myself Manuela :)) i agree the backing needs work there is too much. i actually uploaded this the day before, but there was a problem the wave was tiny and the volume was incredibly quiet so i took it straight back down, i added another limiter and messed a little and brought it last night but im not happy listening today so will have another look at it later as im having the day with my sons kids, i will change it later hopefully, so check it again tomorrow as i agree with you the vocals are fighting each other and dont have the space to breath, but i am really pleased with the text and that you thought it was a beautiful declaration. i will try to make it more beautiful :))

Hi Paul,

I thought I'd pop in before my morning as you know I'm a bit of a fitness freak so, had to listen in before running. I'm glad I did pop in. This is a nice! track & it sounds great! with your vocals every thing is sharp! as a razor, you really have come on in strides fella. You are getting down! on this beat and giving it your all! Aww, how sweet! is this. Keep on keeping on, you've done extremely well here indeed. Kudos!

Description : This is my little 16-bar sketch of a Soul-style track... my purpose in making this was to experiment with Melda's MDynamicEQ, which allows you to remove resonances, and to apply EQ's from one track to another. I even EQ'd this thing to sound like a 70's jam.

Description : Here is another track we are currently working on for my forthcoming album, "Songs from the Closet, Vol.1"

Ed Cunningham was gracious enough to provide this composition to me for which I'm grateful. It's a groovy track and the lyrics, for the most part, wrote themselves. My project co-producer and I are working out the vocal arrangement. As per usual, this track isn't mixed. I repeat, it is a rough vocal and isn't mixed. I hope you enjoy the listen!
