bjornpdx Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 John B While listening I kept thinking what a perfect song this would be for Valentine's Day or an anniversary. Just beautiful lyrics. The emotion behind your singing came across very well too. Great job on this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Beagle@bjornpdx@mark skinnerThanks all so much! @bjornpdxI'd like to think this would be another "Colour My World" as far as emotional milestone songs go, but I don't think it will get anywhere near that far. ?John B.

Starise Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi John, Lovely ballad! Your choice of piano chords underneath the vocals was very nice indeed. Great lyrics that come across very sincere. For me, the vocal and instrumentals aren't quite congealing together. Mix seems a bit bass light. I think if you bring the instruments up just a little and maybe tie everything together with some "mix glue' you'll have a perfect mic. Material itself is excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Like Paul McCartney once sang - there's nothing wrong with silly love songs? I liked your vocal on this - nicely done. I thought the song was quite good and well arranged. The horns and strings worked quite well. No crits on the mix - sounded good to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "mix glue" you probably mean buss compression. That was the next thing I was going to try. ? @Douglas KirbyThanks so much, Doug! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 And where would the world be without "silly" love songs. This is a wonderful song. You have a strength in writing very sincere lyrics (they seem very personal) and matching them with great melodies and music. Well done!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnbee58 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Please forgive me. I took the song down from Soundclick last week due to personal reason. For the benefit of more who might have wanted to chime in I've re posted it. New link is also on OP above. Very sorry. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14002417 ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Another fine bass line on this one John. Love Ballads are tough, and I credit you for taking it on. But man, the bar is high. Colour My World, I'm taking a risk here, not a favorite (here come the flames). But I can see the parallel and you've nailed that. Maybe I'm just "projecting" here, ballads; I avoid 'em at all costs, so take it with a grain of salt. Overall, well done and "props" for putting it on the line (I don't have the courage). Do keep them coming! All the best, t and just to be honest here: Ann Wilson is the undisputed Queen of rock, Unchained Melody, she didn't nail it. I'm so doomed! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Screed Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 sounds great nice piano great melody the only thing I could think, and this is just me, I think it would be better if you removed one verse, seemed a little long but otherwise another top notch JB pop original 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
