bjornpdx Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I posted this song on the old forum about 4 years ago. I decided to update it so I changed some lyrics, some instruments and the name of the song. The vocal track is much better although with my singing "much better" means it's way up there to mediocre now. Thanks for giving it a listen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The millenials all want to look old, with their beards and dyed gray hair. They're so derided (like the hippies) that they want to appear sagacious and authoritative. You have a great voice, not sure why you're so concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I thought my vocal came out pretty well actually. Melodyne helped a lot. The "mediocre" comment I made didn't come out the way I meant it to be - funny. Anyway.. David, hidden symmetry, wookie, bapu Thanks for commenting. I do appreciate it.

Being of a "certain age" I think I get the whole thing. Well done Bjorn! Glad you brought it "up to date" and are happy with the results (and why wouldn't you be!) ? t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 This was very enjoyable, Bjorn! It almost had a sixties feel to it. I liked the lyrics too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I like your vocal on this one - it works quite well with this song. I also enjoyed the lyrics - nice job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 that's a catchy melody for sure! You might start the file with a tad of silence, instead of the music starting immediately. You don't by chance have one of them pedal steel guitars, do ya? That could fit in there somewhere . . . cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Nice one Bjorn. Approaching the colder of the seasons, I sure can relate to the lyrics. Great instrumentation to complement the lyrics. BTW, the vocals are perfect for the sentiments expressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 tom Yep I'm in that "certain age" too. It's kinda strange hearing people talk about what life was like in the 70's when the 70s seem like yesterday to me. Leadfoot Sounds like the 60s 'cause that's where I still live - back when music was, you know, good. Doug Thanks. I worked on the lyrics for a long time. I thought they came out pretty well if I do say so myself. Tom I didn't notice the abrupt beginning, so good catch. And yeah I do have a pedal steel guitar (maybe 3 actually) that could be put to work here. Thanks Freddy Thanks for the comment on the vocal. The initial recording would not have worked, but Melodyne did a great job with pitch correction and breath sound removal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Beautiful song, Bjorn! I don't think I remember it, but I really like the sentiment. I just wrote a passing of the torch kind of song, so I guess it's going around. Nice mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
