Hello my friend, I am thrilled to hear yet another amazing song from you here. The lyrics are phenomenal! Your singing, with that voice and expressive emotion, is absolutely fantastic! The song belongs on the radio and deserves to be heard by a wide audience. Im so happy for you that you were able to create this song, and Im equally delighted that I got to listen to it. Best wishes to the neighborhood.
Warm regards, Manuela
Hello, sorry to bother you again. As an avid reader of news not just within my song area, I would like to share my opinion on the death of LM. LM will not die because of the update! If LM dies, it will be because of its community. We are the ones who need to ensure that LM continues to exist with our productions. This includes how we treat each other and the help and support we provide to others who have problems with their productions and can learn something from one of us. Folks, this is a free opportunity to present and represent ourselves. It certainly has room for improvement, but it has also become a musical home for many. So lets make sure this home continues to exist and becomes better and more harmonious. It needs to be a place where polite, constructive criticism is possible, which helps and supports.
It's no bother at all. I don't mind non-track related comments since Mr. L took the forums away. I can understand why, but, none the less...
You are correct in what you say. At one time, this place was a gold mine of information and advice. Like I said in response to Aaron, most of what I know I learned from others on this site. I still try to keep that alive. I'm sure some people don't like it when I throw critiques in, but most do. So, I'll keep doing it.
Personally, I love it when I get constructive criticism. My original tagline here was "I'm not here to get famous. I'm here to get good."
Hello, wonderful! I really enjoyed the song and it brought me a lot of joy. Great production. Amazing voice with wonderful musical accompaniment. Very heartfelt.
Best regards,
Manuela
Hello Aaron (V),
I haven't been here for five years yet, but I can already say that this song has a lot of meaning. I've already told you that I find your songs to be ostensibly dark, but full of emotion and radiance. However, I dare say that, contrary to the title, this is not about made-up malice, but rather a kidnapping into another world.
I also don't think that you don't care about other people's opinions, as you wrote in a comment, for example on Rita's. I think that you think about it when someone tells you their opinion! But you are one of those steadfast people who can distinguish between what is important and what is unimportant. That speaks for your character, not for malice.
Since I'm known here as an arrogant complainer, smile, I'm going to complain about your song now. Damn! I can't find anything to complain about *lol.
Hello Manuela.
First, I'd like to thank you for not only taking the time to listen and leave a comment, but leaving a comment with thoughtfulness and depth. I admire that.
I'm interested in your thoughts on the kidnapping into another world. I wonder if you are thinking along the lines of my original intent. I guess it depends on how deep one would want to dig within the analysis.
There is truth to what you say in regards to my caring about peoples opinions. But that's a conversation that goes far deeper than the comments section on Looperman tracks.
From what I have witnessed of you, Manuela, arrogance is not on the list. Nor is any complaining, really. I suppose I'm not the only one in which the term "ostensibly" applies, huh? ;)
Do take care, and I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
V.
Hello Marc,
It's Manuela for the third time *smile. This time I'm speechless! Something rare for a woman *smile. But I can only repeat what I've said before: the song was brilliant! Okay, I don't remember the details of the previous version, but this one, like the others before, sounds perfect to my ears and I think you can get it on the radio. In my opinion, you're the only one who can still hear differences. I envy you for your perfection and brilliance.
Best regards and have a great weekend,
Hey there Manuela. The remastering bug hit me hard from a musician buddy I played in a band with. He would make a positive comment, I would listen to his point on the track and I would hear everything wrong on the previous version. So my hearing has drastically changed. Thanks for lending your ears and exceptional musical expertise:). Have a splendid rest of your weekend.
Hello, thank you for using my vocals for this beautiful song. I think the idea of sparse instrumentation is very good. Although, the transition at 0:44 was a bit harsh. Also, the short string section around 1:50 was lovely. Great job, I really like it! Best regards to the distant East, Manuela
You can get to the "Featured Tunes" if you set your track to "Featured" in the settings, which you did here, and write a short comment on another musician's track. But you're right, it's your decision.
Kind regards, Manuela
I understand you, but songs don't always have to authentically reflect the present reality. Songs can also be about dreams, wishes, feelings, romancesbeautiful stories. They dont always have to spread pessimism. Try singing about the beautiful things you wish for. Escape from reality a little. Believe me, it does wonders!
Hello my friend, this is a great approach to my singing. Well done! Really! I like the song very much! Why dont you bring it to the Featured Sektion? Best regards,
Manuela
Hello, Manuela. Thank you very much! What about the Featured Section? I'm just hobbyist, but also perfectionist (music only). When it will deserve, my decision.
Respect!
Hello Mom, Well, everything that needs to be said has already been said here. So, Ill join in the general praise and say it briefly and painlessly: Great job. Now, of course, the bar for your singing will be set higher. But why shouldnt it be a love song?
Best regards and good night,
Manuela
Hey hello little one.
Im glad you like this style and my voice.
Buttttttttt i feel what you said ....oh my god
I feel the pressure that every track must become better now hahaha
Your question why it shouldnt it be a love song.
Its cool to sing a kind of soul and most of the times that are love songs but sometimes i feel hypocrite .
Like in my track reach for the stars.
I reach the stars for you??? noway...i dont...not anymore!!
hahahaha do you understand??
Hello and good evening,I am surprised at how quickly you posted another version of the song. Although the first version was already very good, this one surpasses it. Great piano work! I have to smile when I read in your profile that you are a beginner! Great job, too good for LM! Smile. Best regards,
Manuela
Hello and good morning to France,
I think its fantastic how you crafted this song. Its a truly impressive achievement, especially considering the health challenges you faced. You are one of the few who created music to complement my singing, rather than cutting or altering it to fit into loops. This is a commendable exception, especially here at LM, where it is unfortunately rare. Your music fits wonderfully and provides a pleasant bed for my voice. The way you follow the dramaturgy of the singing with changes in your music shows that you have a fundamental musical foundation. I noticed your piano experience, which is a great advantage in this work. Your mix and master are also well done. Great praise from me to you. I hope to hear more from you. Best regards,
Manuela
How, thank you Manuela, you are a great artist and your comment are welcomed with gratitude. Your voice in this song give me chills :-)
I'm working on another version based on piano as I love this song you sing from the heart. Big hug
Hello Chris, An ending with a dedication, I feel honored that you thought of me in a part of your song, even if its just the ending. Smile Great ending! Best regards,
Manuela
Well you were right it needed a decent ending. But actually I am thinking of you for a track I am working on now. I just messaged you via LM. Cheers Chris
Hello Richard, I'll just say it's beautiful! No, very beautiful! We've talked before about my relationship with God and the church. But musically, I must say first class! Best regards, Manuela.
I hope this message finds you well.
Thank you so much for your encouraging wordsthey truly mean a lot to me. I remember our conversations about your relationship with God and the church, and Im glad we share a mutual understanding on this topic.
Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to staying in touch!
Hello, nice to see that you used my acapella. However, you've slowed down my singing quite a bitmaybe a bit too much for my taste, right? Best regards, Manuela
my friends all think your great Manuela they all love Warriors on the Beat and Zombie they were like wow, everything i play them of you, even tho' they like what i do they think I'm lucky to have you guide me, seriously, take this seriously 100% they know how good you are just like me :))
i promote you and Rita to all my friends as i do with all the artists I've worked with, i big you all up, not myself, they think were are a talented group of people
Hello Paul, Awesome song! The music fits perfectly with the track. And I have to congratulate you on the mix. For me, this is the highest quality mix you've done so far. Your voice stands out from the music without being overbearing. I'd give you 10 points for the mix and mastering. *smile. In my opinion, these simpler musical compositions suit your style better. They give you more room to incorporate your verses. Also, the time signature matches well with your vocal expression and the effects you use. Great job! I'll watch the video when I get a chance.
Best wishes for a great start to the new week, Manuela
thanks Manuela, it was a really easy write as i love the solar system and space travel, it fascinates me, i also made sure there was space, i toned down the fx i normally use too, the video idea was an after thought and i got the stuff i needed and put it all together, its a good watch i think, thanks for the nice feedback, i was really happy with the whole production and i personally think its clever writing as did all my mates, they all think im more creative than anyone they have heard, they are all hard boys and have no issue with saying thats shit, they don't like everything i do, they prefer me to rap but they thought this was good and they loved the vid too :)
Beautiful! Simply beautiful! I'm amazed at how you managed to create such a cheerful and uplifting song with this minimal sequence of notes. Wonderful! I'm looking forward to the mother-in-law song. *smile. Best regards, Manuela
Its something simple and not distracting. I wanted to watch the scenery and have the music make it go a little faster.
I played a game called Fable and I got inspired by that game. I just listen to what instruments go well together.
I can't read music and I don't know music theory I just know what sounds good to me.
Really happy you liked it and thank you.
Hello, I think this beautiful song doesn't need any additions. The song is already very lovely as it is! Changing it would take away its soul. It reminds me of a wonderful bar pianist from Berlin. I sat at the bar with my husband, listening to this blessed pianist with awe. It was a beautiful evening, almost 10 years ago, and you brought it back to life with this song. Thank you! Best regards and have a lovely Sunday, Manuela.
hallo Manuela
that is a lovely story, thank you so much for sharing!
i feel honoured my playing was able to bring back such great memories.
all the best,
savino
Lovely!!! I adore this song too. Your version, which you produced with such incredible ease, is also fantastic. Very lively, very catchy. Great job! Have I heard your voice here before? I really like it. Best regards, Manuela.
Hello Manuela, oh, it could be that maybe, possibly, perhaps, you have heard my voice before... that would be nice. ;o)
Thanks for the praise.
Best wishes,
Micky
Hello my friend. Well, what can I say? Great quality, great mix, great mastering. Although, for my taste, the solo guitar in the middle section is a bit too quiet. But that's just a matter of preference. The image of your audio waveform looks like an arrow. Have you noticed that? But that's how the whole song comes across to mesharp as an arrow! *smile. Well done. Have a great Sunday, Manuela.
Hey Manuela! I was just telling my girl that we needed to check out ur newest song, & here u are! Shes become a fan, too, just from being around me and hearing ur work. I did notice it looked like an arrow, lol. This is only a portion of the whole track, the whole piece is even more arrow like. One of the last things I did was lower the volume and tinniness of the solo pieces, I was being lazy and to my ears, they raised the treble a bit too much. but i think youre right. Ill likely re-mix them into the track. Thanks for listenng, my friend. - Aaron
Wow!!!!!! I nearly missed this beautiful, fantastic song. Such a wonderful, emotional piece youve created with an artist I greatly admire. I can only repeat myself: wonderful!
Hello Anthony, Simply beautiful!!! This light, lively melody that moves through the song and is repeatedly picked up in varied ways by each instrument is just wonderful. Even though we are heading into winter here, with grey, rainy, and short days, your song catapulted me to a sunny meadow full of blooming summer flowers. Sadly, this dream ended with the conclusion of the song, and harsh reality returned. Thank you for the beautiful dream.
Best, Manuela
Hello Manuela
Thank you for listening and for commenting on the song. I am really glad you liked it. I do understand I have uploaded it a bit late, summer is gone by now, I just happened to listen to some of my old music and I liked it, it sounded cheerful and I wanted to share it with the LM community. I am really sorry I have not uploaded it earlier to fit the summer. The days are colder here in Athens too, at least a 10 C drop and windy. Yes, we are heading into winter too.
Have a nice weekend, Anthony.
Hi Robin, beautifully embedded vocalsfantastic work, I really love it. I always find it amazing how your unorthodox approach blends with different genres. Always good, always surprising. Best regards, Manuela
