Home Again ( CD, Billy Doc, Gbm, Albino )

[gbm]

really great song, it has everything. Lyrics, melody, 80's. top notch production.

 

In the "early days" these songs where on no. 3 or 4 of an album..

This would be the hit on the album, unless all the other songs on the album are hits too?

Yes, it's hard to know where it will sit in the end. The running order is an art in of itself. My gut feeling is next to last because it has quite a climax and then it can be followed by the final song.. the denoument it you will....and I already have this song that Billy helped me put together called "Trying" which is purely piano, string and vocals that seems tailor made to be the final track.

You never know though until you try it !

Hi Mark,

Lovely track. Cool discordant notes to start the song off.

All the performances are top notch. Very strong vocal too.

Steve's drums are very good too, but did they need a touch more body in the mix?

Thanks for the compliment AndyG.

The drum sound obviously fall's in with CD's vision for his project.

I, of course, wish there were no syth, guitars, vox or bass. Just drums.

Yeah I think they are at the right level. If you listen to different records they are at all different levels.. I remember buying " Battle For the Sun" the Placebo Album and thinking how "big & heavy" the drums sound was compared to other CD's I had.

It's a good reference, if I have mine any louder then I know I've gone too far ! But in every mix there's only so much space..notice how much fatter they sound at 2:06 when there's less going on in the track. When the full arrangement kicks in they are a bit more buried.

This is your best song so far IMO, Mark! Great job, and much better than most of today's charts crap.

Cheers Steffen , my singing teacher reckons I can still improve on it but goodness knows how long it will take to sing a better vocal than this one. I may try it again in 6 months and see how it comes out, at least I have this one in the bank.

A year later and I'm still working on this ! 

HELLO MCS

Who's still watching ?  I have new vocals, a new mix and I'm just in the middle of working on my harmonies with my singing teacher so I hope to finish it by Christmas 

Here is a little teaser of the harmony part..it has compression & reverb but none of the vocals have been auto-tuned.
