New music awesome Cakewalk peeps! Let me know if it needs something more or something taken away! 😁 All the best to you! 💝 RexRed

Wow, thanks peeps for the awesome feedback and compliments. This song, the lyrics seem to have deeper implications that spoke to a part of me that desires to reach back into antiquity and embody romance at its greatest pinnacle. Back when civilization was just beginning and when mythology was perhaps, actually true (for the most part). Not all songs of mine do this to me. I like that it has generated some interest, it reflects the caliber of artists here on this forum, and that we may all share an ethereal philosophical connection that spans eons of time. Music inspires us. All the best to you! I hope to bring more of this kind of genre to light. ✨🌞

I just uploaded the final version of this song. I have a flamboyant style and I add the falsetto because, well, I am gay and my songs I edit to gay romance films. My fans expect the falsetto as a signature of pride and identity. So it may seem out of place if you are expecting this to be in a "straight" romance. But, in a gay romance that falsetto fits perfectly right in and signifies the spirit of the effort. 😊 This video will premiere tomorrow morning. 👍

Thank you Jack for the Merry Christmas and lovely compliment on my song! Best to you in the New Year! 🎄👍💗 This song was very difficult to make. At one point I had nearly 50 tracks all going at the same time and I had to figure out which tracks play at what time. It was a soup of sound with everything from the refrigerator in it. I had to slim it down and my ears got tired and I almost gave up. The Oohs and Ahhs helped me to nail down the song. I tried about 100 different pads in the song and hundreds of different congas and bongo samples till I found the right one. I tried several basses and then settled on a bass that I use in most of my songs. The vocals were sung "very" close to the mic with no windscreen so it would be "intimate". There are percussion sounds for bass and snare that took many tries to find the right samples. The wind sound is an arctic wind (the best wind sound I think). Even though the wind is from a cold place it sounds dry and warm. The cello solo is a Stradivari cello. I hope this synopsis of the song is helpful. 😉

Hey Jack, Jude and Supa, thanks for your really nice comments! I really struggled with the music for this song. It sounded really good live, with just me playing the dobro alone. But when I added other instruments suddenly I lost focus on the song. It took many tries just to bring it to the place where it is now. It is a beautiful song and I spent days and nights trying to do it justice. At one point I had drums playing and it lost all trace of what it seemed to really need. I am not sure it is even there yet but it seems to sort of relay the feeling it may be meant to relay. It needs to be done live with an audience and maybe a nice bluegrass band. Something that seems a bit out of my reach musically maybe. As for the story behind the romance in the song. A bridge is a structure that others can benefit from to help them cross a stream as well after the builder is gone. It is an unselfish act and maybe love is not the only reward. Helping others. This may be why this song has an emotional pull for some. 💞

They will have to pry the cake from my cold dead hand, I will never switch. Gave Studio One a fair try, did not like it at all. Unintuitive interface, a major obstacle for me. Looks like I will be one of the only die hard fans left doing Cakewalk videos on YT. To me it is not really about making money (otherwise I would have used Mike's short video format) as I have never made a single dime from my Cakewalk YT channel, yet. It is about sharing my musical journey with those who may find it helpful. The few subscribers who do show up are awesome. Getting Cakewalk users to my channel is like pulling teeth. youtube search for @cbbtv I have had two Cakewalk channels on YouTube I closed the old one out That old channel I started over 6 years ago, I had to dedicate that channel to something else. I deleted the old videos. One of my live videos is over 7 hours long... Skip over the parts that don't interest you. hehe. And I started off with Master Tracks midi on a Commodore 64 until I graduated to Cakewalk for MSDOS. My own original Cakewalk songs got 2 million listens last month... Studio One for Cakewalk users? No thanks, I'll pass... One caution, my oldest videos on my channel are sort of obsolete because I use different apps and techniques and they have evolved over time. I still occasionally use Dimension Pro. lol Mike has a great Cakewalk YouTube channel that has helped me in many instances as well.
