My wife is a singer in Korea. This is a song that she and I recorded together. In it, she's asking me how my day was. It's sung in Korean. The translation can be found in the "song lyrics" section.

Lyrics:

How was your day?
Who made you tired?
Did you see the bright blue sky through the window this afternoon?

Did you see the smiling children running home after school?

I don't understand Korean but you don't have to to hear that your wife has
a great voice and a great melody. The Guitar playing and pianos are right
on the money. I liked everything about this song. The only critique is in
the production but it might just be a limitation of the software and mic.

I feel the day wind down in your song, The voice is beautiful. So full of humanity.
Nice relaxed guitar, keyboard, brushes, whistling and xylophone.
I love your song. So much soul.

Loved This &mdash 07/03/06 - 09:00:37 AM
What a lovely song, with the perfect energy and balance between the instruments and the vocals. Your wife has such a sweet voice and the words are beautiful. I don't think I've enjoyed a song this much for a long time.

The only production note I'd give is that some of the instruments elements, like the brushes, seem to be a little too much in the right ear, to my taste. It's a minor quibble and I've downloaded your song to listen to again and again. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for your comment. The problem with the brushes being heavy on the
right side comes from not being able to record in stereo with fast track. I'm
looking into buying a nicer audio interface.

We really appreciate your comment!

Love it &mdash 07/03/06 - 04:52:32 PM
Love it! The feel is great. Relaxed and cool. Your wife's voice is delicate
and understated, but doesn't lack surety. Great track.

easy on the ears &mdash 07/03/06 - 06:02:49 PM
Lovely voice, beautiful laid back song. Production-wise, there are
some problems - an underlying hiss which takes away from the
beautiful vocals. Lisa is right about the brushes - even in mono, they'd
sound much better centred more, same with the xylophone. It just
sounds like you got carried away with the pan control.
These are things it takes time to get on top of, and, considering you
sound like you're using limited equipment, the result you've come up
with is good. Very easy on the ears!

Wonderful laid back feel. Love the simplicity, the space. A few
suggestions: The brush sound could have used some variations, since it
comes across as a single loop repeated. In my ears the guitar and the
electric piano are not perfectly in tune (the guitar is slightly sharp). But
the intimacy you two achieve is heartwarming and such a pleasant gift.

What a wonderful song. the light guitar mixed with the beautiful vocals
makes for an enchanting piece. if you hadn't commented on one of my
songs, I may never have found you.

very tasty &mdash 07/06/06 - 01:47:40 PM
you both sound great. a simple and elegant composition. would have
to second the thought theres a small (ensey weensey) tuning issue with
the guitar vs piano. whistling at the end a nice touch.
