Description

Just a diddy to celebrate our friendships. Thanks Alannah for the vocals and the melody for that matter. Jack, for the B3 and encouragement and Patrick for that Bass line. You allowed me to propel this up a notch. Thanks Mike for the miscellaneous sounds at Found_Sounds. All in this collaboration were at the Dallas Jam 2010. I just wanted to acknowledge that somehow

Lyrics by Alannah

I think I am starting to believe again
In the humanity of man
maybe I was just in a state of disillusionment In the past
But I think I am starting to live again
I think I am starting to feel again
Its like waking up after a long dream.
Maybe I'am in a place of fantasy in my mind
But I think I am starting to live again.
Oh yes I think I am starting to believe again.
In something other than the past which holds me back

Thanks dear one. I am really glad you like this. I wasnt sure. But thanks for the encouragement. This makes a big difference. The lyrics spun this song to the next level. At first it was just a bunch of piano chords and then Alannah added her diamond. Jack and Patrick tied it up right, That B3 is just right and love the bass.

	Andrew Thanks my friend. The phrasing was the part that I was most unsure about, but when Alannah added hers in it counter balanced everything just right. These folks are a real joy to collaborate with. Check out my latest song called If You Can Hang On by Outtaorbit

	in a lot of ways since we had all jammed together in Dallas in Feb. it came real natural. The parts fell out of the sky so easily from long distances. I had a bit of a time debating (with myself) if I sould change the intro, but it came together when the bass and B3 came in. IT's a real joy to work with such sweetness.

Nice!

crissew said 3270 days ago (May 12th, 2010)

Very nice
piece here. Sounds almost like something you would hear in a smoke filled lounge in the old days. Great sounds all around with excellent singing. The only suggestion I would make is that Alannah's voice sounds a little distant from the mix, not sure exactly why, could be the reverb used or maybe even the eqing. Sounds great though, good job on this one!

awigze	awigze said 3270 days ago (May 12th, 2010)
	cool comment I have 3 regions for her. one is slightly chorused, on one side, the other is dry and the repeat track is somewhere in the middle. I dint tweak any of the eq because I figured Alannah has a sound she goes for and the file came in that way. will take a listen and consider said tweaking in future projects. Thank you!

Specialer than cool
Really enjoyed this. The laid back mood. The bass line got me from the first 3 notes. The relaxed voice and drum pattern. The touches of sax... so cool. Cool ending with those ambient noises. Love the B3. I think the piano could have been a little bit more restrained, making small touches here and there, leaving the bass drive the song, but that's a very small detail and just me.
This is really cool. Another excellent collab coming out from that TX jam (in some way).

Super-Nice
Great lyrics. I do love this as it has a sort of moving "Steely Dan" groove to it. This sounds like a complex but clear mix and has some cool sections. Dare I say it's too short? The end sounds like a kind of ambient bridge that I'm wishing was longer and would go back to the main theme once more. Sax solo is tasty and the other players also do a wonderful job. Nice one.
