Still Waiting For You (w/ Morning Light)

Description

When Morning Light graciously sent me her vocal tracks to "Still Waiting," I was reminded somewhat of Julee Cruise's ethereal vocals circa Twin Peaks. In an attempt to create a "Dream Pop" piece, with somewhat of a Cruise/Lynch-esque atmosphere, I tweaked ML vocals and my backing track a bit. This is the result.

p.s. If there's too much processing on the vocals, it's my fault--ML's original vocal tracks are cleaner and more up-front:

Morning Light washes over...
ML's singing fits into this quite nicely... I think the slightly-over-the-top echoing actually works here, giving a dreamy gooey quality to the otherwise-sharp/precise sounds of the synths. Good ear for melting these together, and Linda, nice wafty singing (hope you're not "Still Waiting" for long!)
ttfn,

Agree about the processing
Would have prefered the vocals a bit more up-front. Overall sound and production quality are clean. The MIDI guitar needs to have some "emotion" injected. As this song goes on, it begins to "ramble." A change up might suit it fine.

If I were to rate this, my consideration would be "better than average." More edge and emphasis (strikes and breadth) could be placed in taking this up a notch. As mentioned before, changing up the structure by adding an instrumental bridge might also maintain interest through out.

	Still a good song ... But I prefer the version with iamOpen singing. (MJs song # 35532) I 'm not a big fan of to many "Uhhs" and "Ahhs" ..) Also I started listening to music in the days of Yazoo and that is what the other version reminded me of. Check out my latest song called Rain Rain [vox/ Linda Courtien]

	ahhhh The vocals should be a bit more up-front! The mix is good and the production great... Nice collab Check out my latest song called Valarty & AJ Craft - Burn (Alternative version)

	Hm! I have a tune from ML and it sounds much better in my ears. And like you say "ML's original vocal tracks were cleaner and more up-front" I have to agree. If I was you I had done a REMIX. You always do good songs so I know you can do it... Cheers Kenta

I have to add my two cents here ....
.. I think this is MORNING LIGHT'S BEST-EST performance ... and I echo the others .... that a slight vocal boost in some areas ( I would also say .. that some of the backing tracks would remain slightly set back and optimized as backing) .... might have done the tune benefit ..... (I think I have heard them all so far .. the renditions that is ....) ... as different and diverse as they are .... each is so unique I think I am now inspired to post a forum on the topic of open collabs and how much I enjoy listening to each artist's personal take on the same piece of music ..... nice job ML .... although I STILL "CHALLENGE" you to experiment a little ... and try to put a LEAD vocal on a number .. and then add backing tracks separately ... I think it would have worked very nicely into this tune in particular ....

	That is a very nice blend of your music with Linda's voice. Dreamy but with wakefulness, expectation and hopeful anticipation. EZ, you have a fan. Thank you. Check out my latest song called The Sea
