Sad Song (new version)

Recommended Posts

Tried to accomplish some MoTown-vibes with the help from VHorns and Chris Hein brass. 

Kudos to Meter who worked hard on remixing and mastering this one!

Sounds good, clean mix. Enjoying the horns a lot. Nice choice of instruments. Nice mood. The lead vocal is a little off now and then, but sounds good otherwise. Mission accomplished!

Thanks a lot treesha! Hopefully there will be another vocalist soon on this one. 🙏

This was a wonderful surprise in my morning! Great song idea, and your instrumentation is credible. The lyrics are nicely elevated above the usual clichés. Very well done.

For me, I got zero motown and 100% 70's James Taylor!  ☺️

You might cut the end solos a bit to bring the vocals back in one more stanza at the end. Fade out, some girls ooooooh-waaahing, you know, proper 1974. Loved it.

Cool and well written song. I've always been a MoTown fan and this fits in Nicely.

If you are looking for any suggestions ..  I'd pull a little out of the vocals around 1k and put it on the drums..  

Enjoyed it ..   mark

Thanks a lot Mark! There is a guy, Meter, who did a whole new remix and master. I linked to that one in the OP.

James Taylor! Awesome, I love his songs. Your ideas are very tempting and I will investigate.

This version sounds richer if I remember the first version correctly. Yes Kudos.

Thanks treesha for coming back to this one. Yes, a fuller sound to my ears as well.

Seems more like Van Morrison genre to me.
Wonderful song, enjoyed it a lot. The mix is super clear which my decrepit ears appreciate. The ending is bit abrupt.
Great job on this.

From the Sound Cloud comments I gather you're Swedish?

-Bjorn

Right, the intention was something related to Van the man's Days like these. Very glad you liked it. Swedish, right. Your name looks very Swedish or Norwegian to me. 🙂
