Description:
It feels like it’s been a while ………..!
The melody just fell into the basic chord sequence, and then the 4 chord cycle which makes up the instrumental showed up to provide a bit of interest – an unusual instrumental I know, but it works for me. There are three saz tracks and a didgeridoo in addition to the guitars – a representation of harmonious blending of cultures, which we could certainly do with more of these days. Just let yourself go with the saz breaks - shut the eyes and think good thoughts :) The saz is a 6 stringed lute-like middle eastern instrument, strung as 3 pairs of strings). More on saz here.
Lyrically, it’s just a number of things which have been on my mind lately – just family and friends, and changes they/we are going through.
Loud works best – but take care of your ears!
Lyrics:
Make Me Smile!
© 2/2006 Neil Porter
We’ve been getting in the zone again
You’ve been laughing
It’s enough to make me smile
Guess I’m feeling in control again
Hope this lasts for quite a while
I hear Jessie’s on her own again
If I was young and single
That would make me smile
What is wrong with younger men these days?
They should be queuing for a mile
Where I see it from,
We’ve got a little time
We’ve done all we can
And things have worked out fine
When I reconsider
All the dreams we had
My conclusion is
Things haven’t turned out bad
Michael’s walking to the exit sign
Well respected in
The things that pass us by
He’ll go through there that one final time
His decision, don’t ask why
Little Aja, she’s on my mind again
Her first photo
It’s enough to make me cry
Things will never be the same again
Anticipation . . . . . deepest sigh!
Where I see it from
We’ve got a little time
We’ve done all we can
And things have worked out fine
When I reconsider
All the dreams we had
My conclusion is
Things haven’t turned out bad
We’ve been getting in the zone again
You’ve been laughing
It’s enough to make me smile
Guess I’m feeling in control again
Hope this lasts for quite a while
Little Aja, she’s on my mind again
Her first photo
It’s enough to make me cry
Things will never be the same again
Anticipation . . . . . deepest sigh!
Where I see it from,
We’ve got a little time
We’ve done all we can
And things have worked out fine
When I reconsider
All the dreams we had
My conclusion is
Things haven’t turned out bad

When I was a young songwriter... &mdash 02/20/06 - 08:06:42 AM
...my partners Phyllis and Nan and I had a rule of thumb, which was,
"What is most specific is most universal"...
You're proving that here, Neil. Very personal and specific observations
and reflections drawn from your life, and they work and add life to the
song even where I can't guess what they mean...
I think I usually comment on your music, but on this one I want to say
that I really enjoy the lyrics.
That being said, this manages to capture JigumaSound while seeming
a little bit less layered than is sometimes the case. I really enjoy the
instrumental breaks... they sound very 1966-1967 Beatles 'n Byrds to
me, and this is not a bad thing at all in my personal cosmos...
Ed [ Reply to This ]
When I was a young songwriter... &mdash 02/20/06 - 12:26:00 PM
Thanks Ed, The lyrics are generally about changes - our relationship, the
impending birth of our granddaughter, and changes in friends' lives.
As far as less layering goes, there's just one guitar track for most of the song
- I added a phased guitar in the instrumental sections only - plus bass and
percussion. No double tracking (guitars or vox), and not too many effects.
This started out as a "man guitar and microphone" number, but I felt it had
more in it. I was really happy with the instrumental - in "the old days" I could
have put that section on repeat and listened for hours :)
Always appreciate your comments and observations.
Cheers,
Neil

I think I would've rather there been more of a lead vocal, at least in a
few parts, to help carry the song along. But I liked the track. It had a
nice groove to it. Thanks for posting! [ Reply to This ]
i enjoyed it &mdash 02/20/06 - 12:30:10 PM
Thanks for stopping to listen Moses. I'm not sure I've seen you on my songs
before - I have a tendency to do harmonies where sometimes a single vox
would do - it's just part of my style I guess - originally because of my lack of
confidence in my voice. I agree that I could have backed it down to one vox
in parts - maybe in the remix. Groove is what I do best.
Thanks, Neil

yeah this is the first i've listened to your stuff, don't get me wrong the
harmonies sound very good! i just think that the contrast between harmonies
and an occasional lead vocal would give it a fresher sound and lead the song
along, and about vocal confidence, from what I could tell your voice sounds
pretty good, you just gotta go for it! i don't think i have the best voice for
singing, and when i was just beginning it was completely horrid, but it was
because i wasn't confident, if you just go for it and record a bunch of times
and keep your favorite, splice here and there, it'll be great!!

Hi. New and checking out the scene. Must say I had a good time
listening to this song. The music is really easy-going and fun, and the
lyrics are straight-up and honest. Kind of a zen reflection -- here is
what is going on and it's just what happens -- seeing it, but not
attaching or focusing on it. Thanks for sharing! Kepler [ Reply to This ]

happened. Thanks for taking time to listen and leave a comment - look

Made me smile &mdash 02/20/06 - 01:56:06 PM
Thanks Mike - I nearly always just use "didge" - much easier! I think my use
of didge might have been inspired from one of your first posts (was it yours?).
I just love the saz sound, and hope to buy one someday. Thanks for such a
positive comment - as usual, I see glitches once I've uploaded, but generally
I'm happy with how this worked out. Glad you commented on the bass - I
was after a standup sound, which seems to have worked out OK - nearly all
played on the bottom strings for that extra rumble.
Peace,
Neil

dig it &mdash 02/20/06 - 10:58:13 PM
Cool tune, man. Very unique. I like how it comes together in layers.
Really fills out nicely. Such a playful melody. I like you singing on this,
low with a great texture and steady. I like how it drifts from tribal to jazz.
Very colorful. I'd like to hear it mixed a little better though; the live
recorded parts sound very compressed compared to the hand drums and
some other instruments so it sounds a little uncohesive tonally. If you
could get all the parts to sound more like they are in the same room I
think it would hold together better. But that's just a nit about the mix/
recording. Overall, it sounds great. This is a fun tune with a lot of
character and soul. [ Reply to This ]
dig it &mdash 02/20/06 - 11:21:32 PM
Thanks Peter - very interested in your comments about the production. I'm
afraid my production is often a bit hit and miss as I mix by sense of smell a
lot of the time - maybe I need to do some reading :) I'll go back and
experiment with compression to see if I can make it sound any better.
Learning more about production has been on my "to do" list for a while now!
Really appreciate your comments,
Neil

You are the king of chill &mdash 02/21/06 - 01:40:55 AM
This tune makes me happy Neil, but for a number of reasons... Well,
you have gone to the next level for for one I can hear. But it's gotta feel
good that went there on your own... But time will give to us, what we
need...
I love the deep rolling bass in this. I like the sparseness of
instrumentation; just enough of everything. Where the hell did you find
a didgeridoo??? This is quite an exotic chill my friend. I love that each
of your latest tunes, how they become my favorite, and almost
instantly. This one is crazy good, Neil and I wouldn't want to try to
improve upon it in any way. Well, certainly, it's always fun to work on
good music and this is GOOD MUSIC! -
Thank you sir. And thanks for your kind and thoughtful support lately.

You are the king of chill &mdash 02/21/06 - 01:53:47 AM
Hey Dion - love getting your comments - EVERY time! I felt really bad that I
set this up with you and then went solo, just couldn't resist! Have some new
ideas which I'll send you first next time!
The didge was a loop I found amongst my collection (you have to remember
where I come from here!) - much more interesting for me were the saz loops
(3 of 'em) which I found on my iMac and on the web after much searching.
Glad you noticed the bass - I was really happy with it, grumbling away at the
bottom of the street there. Always like a really low bassline.
Really pleased you liked this,
Neil

I love your family and friends tunes. Ejh said some really wise words
again.
Your songs have such richness. To me the addition of "world
instruments" is not necessary at all. Even think I would have prefered
traditional JigumaStyle. During the 60:es I loved Byrds, Beatles, incense
and meditation. Today am allergic to all of that, (including zitar-like
sounds. But that is just a personal thing.
To conclude; I feel that what is of lasting value here is your song. The
core basic. It is a very good song!
[ Reply to This ]
Love your family and friends tunes &mdash 02/21/06 - 03:02:36 PM
Thanks for the comments Curry. Being allergic to birds could be handy these days :)
The world instruments' addition is a long story - I'd been working on a colab (up soon) which has taken a while to arrange (mainly because I'm moving to a new ISP soon), and decided I wanted to do a quick tune - I hadn't posted one for a month, which is a long time for me. Anyway, I'd suggested to Cydniko that we could work together on Make Me Smile, but my urge to post got the better of me and I decided to "go solo". But how to fill the long instrumental section I'd left for Dion? That's when I went back to my Turkish experience and grabbed some saz loops and samples - the didge is something I've always wanted to do. I quite like the "integration of cultures" model at this point in world affairs! I might post a "western" version of this without the long instrumental sometime.
Cheers,
Neil

I just noticed I made hasty writing about The Byrds. They really made great
music ... the Dylan covers! And many of The Beatles-things are forever ...
I meant everything around it; the "new-ageic romanticism" ... and zitar!
PS but I am with you it is better to leave the birds alone these days :)

cool solo part &mdash 02/21/06 - 01:51:50 PM
The part where you make the phased guitar enter and move from left to right in a bit of a chaotic soundbed sounds like something straight from sgt. pepper. And how you take it back to normal again is very well done. Your harmonies on this is right on, and I really like that you've made it less layered than usual:) You have what it takes Neil, so I'd like to hear you do this "simplicity" more:) [ Reply to This ]
cool solo part &mdash 02/21/06 - 03:08:51 PM
Thanks for the listen Thor. Point taken about the layering - although you wouldn't think that if you knew how many layers of percussion were in this! I'm finding that I have the confidence now to keep things simpler, and plan to do so more often - especially with vocals. My next one (almost completed with kevmikwar on drums) has more solo vox and more light and shade than in my previous songs - it's coming along nicely. I'll have to have another listen to the instrumental after your comment!
Cheers,
Neil

Great job Neil, this really fills a room with colorful mellowness. I like that groove, and the percussion fits nicely. Your singing sounds great, but my favorite part was the instrumental soundscapes just after the halfway point, and at the end. Reminds me of some Adrien Belew... and as Ed said, "Beatles 'n Byrds". I enjoyed. [ Reply to This ]
Real relaxin' &mdash 02/21/06 - 11:56:54 PM
Thanks David. Can't beat Beatles and Byrds really - the more I listen to it, the
more I like the saz bits you're referring to. There's something so exotic about
it. Interesting part is that the "lead" saz sample just fitted straight in -
length, pitch and bpm were all perfect. I must check out Adrien Belew.

I'm sleep-deprived and this lovely, mellow song is making me float off

letting you know that, though I have no idea how you do it, each new
song seems like a personal best. You just grow and grow. I truly love
this one and will add to it my pile of Neil Porters.
Sorry not to be more articulate, but I've got my eyes propped open with
didgeridoos at the moment. Lovely, lovely song, it would have been a

enjoyed this song. The bongo's, where did you get them. I like the way
you spread them wide. The guitar is right on. And the bass and
mandolin were nice addition later in the song and took me to each level
in the progression. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Very nice tune. &mdash 02/23/06 - 05:47:07 PM
Thanks John (and thanks Curry!). Nearly all the percussion tracks I use are from various JamPacks - not sure which one exactly - they come as stereo loops, so I can't take responsibility. I suspect the mandolin you hear is the saz (a 6 stringed lute-like middle eastern instrument, strung as 3 pairs of strings). More on saz here http://www.rainbowcrystal.com/music/music7.html
Glad you enjoyed the track,

Nice Neil. Man, you remind me of Tim Finn. I truly love the natural,

you compelled by Cronulla? Where did you find the didge? Great
lyrics. Mate, I like it. Well done. [ Reply to This ]
Cruisey &mdash 02/24/06 - 02:20:05 AM
Thanks Nolan, Timm Finn eh, doesn't get much more awesome a comment
than that! The didge was just in my loop collection - in one of the JamPacks I
suspect. No Cronulla connection here - just some day to day personal stuff
really - all from the point of view of some "wisdom" gained through age.
Thanks for the listen and the comment.

Great Sound &mdash 02/28/06 - 08:45:59 AM
First of all I loved the drawing, it made me smile! The unusual vibe of
this song is very cool. The first part kind of reminds me of Steve Stills
and Manassas as far as the acoustic guitar tune and the percussion.
Then the solo goes into that mid-east thing! I love the way that Fender
bass is growling in the background also. Another good one Neil! [ Reply to This ]

Steven Stills/Manassas - yet another old favourite. The growling bass worked out just like I'd hoped. Good to get your comment,

I loved it and of course wanted more didj but then again I am biased!
What a pocket on that bass, saz and didj is yummy. I would love to jam
live with a saz someday.
Thanks for another eye opener.

"What is most specific is most universal"...
You're proving that here, Neil. Very personal and specific observations
and reflections drawn from your life, and they work and add life to the
song even where I can't guess what they mean...
I think I usually comment on your music, but on this one I want to say
that I really enjoy the lyrics.
That being said, this manages to capture JigumaSound while seeming
a little bit less layered than is sometimes the case. I really enjoy the
instrumental breaks... they sound very 1966-1967 Beatles 'n Byrds to
me, and this is not a bad thing at all in my personal cosmos...
Ed
