Description : This is a lullaby for the daughter of my Greek friend Fanis.
As I was working on my next album "All I Have To Say" (out next week), I suddenly had inspiration for a sweet little track... maybe I can put this on a future EP ;)

Thank you so much buddy! It's on bandcamp but deploying it to Spotify seems to take bloody ages...
I'd love if you could take a look at https://baobou.blogspot.com/ occasionally, that also has a link to everything and I try to keep it updated when I have new stuff :)
This is great I love the electric piano sound. The vocals are just great. On the guitar solo part I would may be lower the volume a bit and get closer to the vocals mix levels. Anyways, congrats and good luck on your upcoming Album.
Bonjour Olli! Vous avez raison bien sur! I had indeed noticed that the guitar was wayyy too loud (you said it very nicely). New version uploaded with the guitar a bit more reasonable and also some bits of the vocal fixed.
This one wields a special kind of emotional power from the beginning notes until the very end....brilliant. If I could teach a class on emotions and their connection to music (and I wish I could, believe me) I don't think i could find a better example of the points I'd be teaching about. Just well freakn done dude.
When I listen to music, either here on Looperman, or some big time artist, I like to try to identify the influences. Whether they're obvious or very subtle and hidden a few layers deep. It's like a game to me. I suppose some people might take it as me taking away from their hard work and originality. But I assure you, when I point out these potential influences, it's absolutely a compliment. I'm saying "this is good. Good like..."
With that being said, in most of your work that I've heard, Dire Straits seems to come up the most. In this song, the vocals sound like Elvis Costello in the style of Mark Knopfler. Which, is really pretty cool.
The music itself is very pleasant, and heartfelt. I like the guitar solo quite a bit. It almost has a Jerry Garcia ring to it. Not only in style, but tone as well.
With music of this quality, I can see why you've released an album. I imagine it will do well!
Take care.

Ha, interesting! It really made me think who my influences are. I hugely respect Elvis Costello, especially his songwriting, so being mentioned in the same comment is already a massive compliment.
In terms of influences I'm aware of, Steely Dan is probably one of the biggest, when Ch is interesting because I discovered them only later. Recently I've been channeling my inner Jackson Browne and a bit of Little Feat. There must be some Peter Gabriel or Paul Weller but nobody ever mentioned that.
Mostly though... I like that you like it, and maybe one day somewhere somebody will be influenced by BaoBou ;)
Thank you so much, that's maybe the best and nicest comment I've ever had!
I had to look up where Centurion is - I was in South Africa twice, I think last around 2000 and also visited Johannesburg - a complex city in a complex country!
Sweet and warm, like a hug or a kiss to small creature, a child. How different the world would be if children were always kept protected by their dads or moms, like in your song. And how different would the world be if we all could see through the eyes of a composer that writes songs for them.
Very very well done, soon I will check on your album too.
My best regards, Anthony
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
