Leo-

Sorry to hear you have been sick... and glad you are better now. I've been a little busy with some php studies myself. Trying to learn how to install cli. Do you know about php?

I'll check out your bass track tomorrow. It's been a long day behind the console for me. I want to be fresh when I listen...

Leo I did listen a little bit to your new mix. I think you're using the new lyric edits on that right? I like the vocals, guitar, and the lyrics now. I am not sure about the bass. It feels quite sparse.

I am not sure how that would go with drums. Are you wanting to keep this an acoustic, laid back type thing? It kinda feels like you've slowed it down or made it more mellow with the guitar, compared to the first take you posted?

The first one you posted feels more rythmic. This new one feels more mellow and or acoustic feeling?

Let me say this now.... I really like the dynamics of how you are singing this. You sing the verses softer than the punch it up on the chorus. I really like that.

My opinions on the bass depend on what direction you arte wanting to go with this. If you want it to remain kind of mellow then we won't do much drums/percussion, and the bass has a better chance that way. If you'd like to rock it up a little then I don't think the bass will hold up. It's quite laid back. I even had some difficulties picking it out in the mix. I'll listen tomorrow with fresh ears...

Hi Fred. yes I´m usind the edited lyric, but I sing wrong "these days" the first verse...the end is right..I forgot in the rec time...haha.
It is more mellow, because I changed the speed and used a eletric unless my acoustic guitar. But there´s no bass yet.. I make this effect using one finger on the low steels when I play the chords...its only guit and vox.
It is very different from the first idea...but it comes when I was creating the intro in my guitar...inspiration...and I continue at the same level, but I can make another version, more folk.
Sometimes I fly high when I´m composing...I imagine myself in a stadium rocking...hahahaha

You have good contrast between the verses and the chorus. That's what I was saying I liked about your latest. It's good the way you pick up the volume in the chorus, and it helps the dynamics. You could maybe help it with the guitar too. Do the picking style during the verse to support the low feel, and then strum it harder and more percussive under the chorus similar to your first take. A mixture of both styles. That will really help the dynamics.

I am a little concerned about the harmonies Leo. Are you open to some coaching for what yo sing for harmony? I believe I can give you suggestions as to what notes specifically to sing to harmonize. I can demo it on the piano or using synth voice and then you can try singing it and you'll see better harmonies.

You have a good voice Leo. A good feel. I just think you need to study the harmony line a little so you know exactly what to sing. I hear you struggling to find what to sing in harmony. I can help if you are open to it.

This has great potential.


No wonder I was having a hard time hearing bass. You said bass audition so I was thinking you played a bass. Now it makes sense why.

Ok well maybe soft verse and rocked up chorus? So we'd need a more rythmic bass under the chorus. Sparse bass on verse would be ok then... CHorus needs to hit it with the band and pick it up IMHO.

I could maybe do a drum track if you can supply guitar and vox lead. That might help develop the bassline.

Wonder if I could talk Ashley into auditioning backing vox harmonies.

If I had my voice I'd eat this backing vox up. It's right up my alley (American slang, meaning I could sing this).

The corrected lirics are very good Fred Thank you for the help!! We can use it as the final!
I think the drums will be a chanlenge, it have to be simple and can not change the the feel...it have to appear in the turns, and brakes a little...its how I imagine, but your ideas always fits in the songs and walk with the lines...
There some spaces for solo guitars and bass too.

Yes during the verse the drums would have to be sparse too, or maybe even no drums at all, but the chorus it could be rocked.


I see one thing yet in the lyrics that I'd change Leo. A small thing but it'd make better sense to change

"If I am lifted from the Lord"

to

"If I am lifted by the Lord"


change "from" to "by"


"from the Lord" means going away from the Lord, so "by the Lord" is better.

yes I like this song. It could be worked up to save the feel.

OOps I post the comment and now I saw your new post... hehehe
OK, we can mix the ideas, and its opened for auditions the backing vocals too..even the vocal if someone want to try...
The problem here at home is the space to practice and to experience high vocals...I dont have a place to do it and no even time because of my job... and my equipment its only to do the basic...but I can accept your suggestions and try to repoduce it here... I´m always learning.
