Beautiful song. Her voice is very captivating. I love when the harmonies come in around 1:40 or so. Perhaps there may have been a but much high-end for my taste on the vocals but otherwise, liked it a lot.
Lovely voice…lovely song, kept expecting it to sort of…‘‘get going’’ or develop, still a good song though,
Kevin
wow ,you should be very proud of this.
Cheers. You might be right about the ‘toppy’ vocals… after reviewing other songs with this singer I’m noticing the same thing.
Thanks for the listen and comments. I guess it’s just not one of those kinda songs that ‘get’s going’
Beautiful song, Ian!
Helen sings wonderful, as usual.
Great production!
Cheers,
Wim
Thanks Wim
Another great mix, Ian. Is this the same Thomas from the old forum? Classical/acoustic guitar ace? Is he still working with you? He was one of the best in the old forum.
Hi… yeah… same Thomas, but not a new project. This one was part of my year-long project revisiting my entire pre-2009 catalog reworking/remixing everything from scratch. This was originally recorded 2007/2008 ish and I think was the only time Thomas featured on one of my tracks.
As everyone else said, the vocals are exceptional, .30 to .34 reminds me of something Amy Lee would do in a slower Evanescence track.
The intro, with the instrumentation being isolated, really shows where the quality is at. Really I couldn’t conceive a more fitting piano sound; guess you are still using Garritan, IIRC. The little abstract elements added for interest are very much on point as well. #gotta get to your level someday
Thanks The piano is NI’s Alicia Keys Yamaha, and yes, orchestral components are Garritan.
Simply beautiful. Vocals amazing. Harmonies perfect and in line with the mood of the track. Instrumentation and mix as classy as normal from you.
Glad I dropped on this as I’m thinking of buying Alicias Keys!
well done
Neil
