Description : First fixes are in. More to follow.
================

The song feels to me a bit like it could be on stage in a musical. It's a bit theatrical... I like it, but the next one might well be a rock song ;)

It's also clearly rather rough (let's call it a "live" feel) but I need to get it out there to clear my mind because there are other songs that want to come out :)

All instruments & vocals recorded live at home, without samples.
I will probably deploy some fixes over the next days...

hi mate this is excellent, really nice playing and the vocal sits lovely on it, really captures the vibe catchy as hell too, its a nice love song and it was a really good listen. everything is balanced great i am really impressed with everything about it, top show nothing better than live and this is live well done.
changing the subject slighty please tell me you know what a Christmas cracker is in the UK you live here, i had no idea us English are the only people that have them, i found this out yesterday, trying to explain to Rita what they are as i mentioned them on her track she didn't have a clue' i googled the Dutch for them and there isn't one nobody but us mad Brits i was in hysterics laughing at the replies on google nearly 60 and i have just found this out lol' everyday is a lesson here not necessarily music either, im still shocked and its so hard to explain what they are to people who have no idea Rita must now think we are all lunatics in the UK

Well of course you're all lunatics, that's a given. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you measure people in stones and racecourses in furlongs and you think mushy peas is something you can eat. On the other hand, all that has given you an excellent sense of humour and some fine music so it's not all bad.
I've watched so many British shows over the decades that yes of course I know what a Christmas cracker is, and yes that's an excellent example of why you're bonkers :)
Almost as bonkers as the Dutch I'd say.

And thanks for listening mate :)

In my view, the singer-songwriter era spanning from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s produced some of the most remarkable music. During this period, singer-songwriters crafted songs that resonated with their unique vocal styles. Their compositions were infused with a distinct passion that illuminated the lyrics. Additionally, it was an era characterized by an artist-centric music industry. This track evokes those sentiments for me. I found this track to be thoroughly enjoyable. Well done.

LovePeace&Light,

Mykael

That's a huge compliment. I didn't grow up with those songwriters (I listened to classical music as a kid) but obviously people like Bowie, Jackson Browne, Marvin Gaye, Elvis Costello (and later Terence Trent D'Arby and Prince) influenced me massively.
If you can hear my passion for music and lyrics in my songs... then I did something right.
Thank you so much for listening and always being supportive Mykael!

Wom - Great track BB - and those vocal takes were worthwhile because this is a top class vocal performance and then let me say that Im not even sure if that is the cherry on the cake because the song as whole is fantastic - drums, guitars, keys, lyrics, production - everything is just so fine and so nicely balanced.
Huge congratulations on such a beautiful track.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a declaration of love! The song is not theatrical, the song is beautiful! A wonderful text that touches me deeply on an emotional level! Wonderfully arranged, composed, and sung. I just returned from a performancea small event, a Christmas party where Angelica and I sang a few songs with the guitar and electric piano. We raised money for a nearby children's home. So, I come home and the first thing I hear is this song, which, I can only say again, has deeply moved me. And once again, just like in your earlier songs, that incomparable voice! Best regards, Manuela.

Very, very beautiful song here. It is the lyrics that are so good for a song to be made and it is the performance of yours. Excellent guitars but this does not mean the rest of the instruments were short on anything. A really pleasant listen BaoBou
Best wishes, Anthony.

Eyxaristw poly Antwnh!
It was actually one of my Greek colleagues who triggered this song. She reported on a project and said "That's all I have to say" and I thought that would be an excellent title for a song.... And this is what came out of it :)

Kalo SK!

this is really good! do you record the instruments individually?
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 13th Dec 2024 - 2 months ago
Well I'd have to run around a lot if I didn't, it's all me ;)

This is a song that I'd written on the piano, and I've played it live a couple times before recording, so I had a decent idea what I wanted to do.

Usually I start from some jam, but here I mapped out the song, played the drums for the first section, added the piano, then the bass... rinse and repeat for each section, with many takes, hundreds of vocals takes, guitars added, and then loads more fixes and takes and changes to the mix and corrections and little ideas until I give up and new ideas start to come out :)

The anger and the pain, The remnants of a chain, Broken on the floor ...Such excellent lyrics - yes, theatrical and I love that Rock guitar - I felt some Edwyn Collins vibes there, when I heard the track. Kay

Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.

Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^

Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.

After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …

Description : Real acoustic, electric and bass guitars played by me. Drums are loops and programmed MIDI. Played piano and synths. Lots of layers and delay. A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.
