Hi,

thanks for listening and leave a comment.

Hi mate,

sounds like a deep injury !!!!

So  deep that you even felt the need to filter the vocal part with a kind of high and low pass!!!

I would be glad if you could type the  words ,though your intonation is clear ,Iam afraid to miss some details,because I am not english native....

cool sound ..

Hey! Now  waiting for a kind of

catchy upbeat joyfull song😎.

cheers.

Olivier

Hi Daryl,

cool song as usually,

rythm explorations ...not able to give you any technical thought ... Maybe the voice a little bit too upfront but not sure,It might be your choice ....

anyway cool time spent listening to this song.

cheers.

Olivier, you chose a great song by a great songwriter to perform, and you pulled it off beautifully.  You have one of the most resonant voices going, and you always seem to find the perfect songs for it.  As for the volume, it sounds about right on my system, but, rather than lower the ceiling of your limiter, you could raise the threshold instead, and just catch the peaks.  Still, a pleasure to listen to.

Hi Lynn,

yes , great  songwriter ,I miss her in some ways though I never met her,and great song....I cannot  say why ,but this song mooves something deep in me....

thanks for the tip of raising the threshold, I will do it,

I say I miss time and it is true ,have a window tonight....

thanks again.

Cheers.

Olivier

Hi Lynn,

good job,

if I dare .... The only thing is that I hear more guitars than ...love ..sorry sorry , you know how I process and I am found of light arrangements ... They allow me to hear more of the " heart of the thing ( song)" It is also that as a a non native english person It demands me some kind of effort to " enter " your song.

Anyway good job and we need good music and cool people while Notre-Dame is burning .

carry on .... It is a need ...

cheers.

You did a very good performance on this song.  The mix sounded good on my system.  I really liked the baritone notes of your vocal.  Nice one1

Hi Freddy

thanks a lot.

I am discovering that voice is really related to what we are and maybe this way to sing is due to a belief that I am not able to go in the high tones,but I am ok with It....

thank you.

Very nice song, well sung and played. Very good mix too, the guitar and vocal are very clear. The fade out at the end is a little too long and I found it distracting. I think a more traditional ending would work better.  Just my opinion.

Hi Bjorn,

thank you.

well for the mix ,It was not so touchy,one guitar and one voice, though on this one ,I dared to make It all "hardware" based.

For the fade out,as It was a single take,It is more to hide errors at the end of the song than an artistic décision:-)

thanks 

cheers.

1:02, your pronunciation might be more "deh-zert" than "diz-ert".  Your voice is great - love the singing. I know you are non-native to English and I think you do an incredible job singing in a different language.

Mix works for me. Nice voice / acoustic guitar combination.

Overall the file might be just a bit hot (loud?) - I had to turn down my volume knobs a little to enjoy it.

 

Great fade out!!!

 

cheers,

Hello Tom,

thanks for your comments.

I will be careful with the word "desert " .

well singing in english demands some attention with all thoose "s" wich if you miss them ruin the meaning and thoose"th"unprononceable for me but ...I let it happen in some ways.

for the loudness,I must be years late,and try to be a winner in the loudness war:-) ..No I don't know why It sounds louder ,but I am afraid that if I lower the ceiling of the limiter ,the soundcloud convertion  algorythm makes it even louder.

Thanks again.

Cheers .

Hi,

sorry,not much time to muse around on this forum,took time to listen to some titles and will have to leave comments...

By the way this song was recorded in one take( really one,the first shot and no look back)

For me this song is ... Beautiful ,Dolores O'Riordan wrote it for the birth of her daughter,and for me,it was ok to make it for my grandson.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for your time and input .. not sure what your listening through 'cause for me I don't hear it, still I love the idea of working with Kate ....but don't hold your breath

Hi ,

actually I had in mind the song" Don't Give Up  "and  I was telling myself that you could do a duet like this :-)

cheers.

Waow ...

I don't know if it is the sound link algorythm ( not sure if it is proper english ) but it throws loud sound :-)

Open minded music I would say ... 

Good fun listening to this production.

cheers.

Olivier

Hi Peter Gabriel :-) you just have to find your Kate Bush for the next one ...

Imho really cool sound . You are really a british guy.

cheers .

Olivier

Nice playing, nicely captured, though like many even the Shyriiwook translator could not handle the lyric translation  

Hi John ,

thanks a lot...

Well for the translation ,I admit it must be tricky because there are a lot of idiomatic turns of phrases .

maybe I will try to give a shot but not sure to be able.

Cheers.

Yes,  very nice. The vocals and guitar lies almost perfect in the mix. Maybe a tiny bit more reverb on the vocals, but other than that. Splendid!

Hi " kloon "

thank you .

yes maybe a little bit too dry ,but you know how it goes ,one time drawned in the verb then next time  you overcompensate and it is to dry and so on ....

Thanks for listening.

Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for this cool comment.

Olivier

Hello,

listening to this tune on an IPad ( shame on me) so no way to give any technical point of view.

The song is cool and goes quite in a flowing moove ,cool time spent listening to it ( I will go back to it on a more decent device...)

As others mentionned,there is a thing in the vocal part ,according to me it is not the tone ,what I hear is in tune and you manage  the emotional expression quite well , from where I am ,maybe it is something related with rythm ,again for me and with out any proficiency I could revendicate ,it seems you don't manage  your voice the same way as if it was a guitar or a violin or whatever instrument and it seems you let it " float " a tiny bit . Maybe taking the voice part the same way you would approach an instrumental part could help. I don't know.

Hope to contribute in a way.

Cheers.

Olivier

Hello Tom, 

cool! It seems all the people of the other forum are here....

Thanks a lot.

cheers.

Olivier.

Hi Bjorn,

cool to read from you and thanks for your comment.

No It is not a translation ,

Actually It has been a proper hit in France by the times,I really mean a hit ,here in France everyone born around the sixties knows this song .

Joe Dassin's mother and father were american and I don't remember why ,but he landed here in France  and became a real star here... He died  too early,at around 45 .

I like his adaptation ,because ,as a a kind of country fan ( not only though,but I do appreciate country music because of its oral transmission) ,I am really found of  " City Of New-Orleans" , but Dassin ,with his deep understanding of what was going on ,made somewhat another song but imho ,in the proper spirit of the original .

Thanks again,got to take time to check your songs .

cheers.

Olivier

( sorry for the edit It is because my device is hung on french and introduces many typing errors:-) )

Hi David, thanks a lot for paying attention to my music.

.....well for the lyrics you don't understand ,It could be because I set the threshold of the compressor too low 😊
