It has a nice homy feel.

I don't want to vote because I am playing. But I sure love
hearing your voice :)

Good going

Thanks so much fairymagic17 for singing with the guitar

OK I was hoping you'd like it. I'm such an amature at this recording stuff. I'm learning as I go. But I'm so happy you liked it. It was a pleasure singing to a real live recording instead of a loop :P Thanks so much! If you have anything else I could write lyrics to I'd love to hear it. Once again thank-you :)

Nice work, you two! :)

Love the lightness of the song, and the hopeful lyrics.
Well done.

I really enjoyed this one. Nice flowing lyrics and excellent
singing. Great playing by Tiler. I think the guitar is
slightly overpowering the vocals though. Bring the vocals
up a touch or the guitar down a touch, whichever is more
appropriate. Watch out at the end; your vocal track noise
cuts off abruptly at the end after your last line. A lot of
people here make this mistake. Either use the gate to cut
out the noise between phrases or at least make sure to
fade out the the ambient/line noise before cutting the
track. Nothing makes that subtle noise stand out more
that when it suddenly cuts out.

Again, I really like the song and your performance.
Thanks for letting me hear it on this sunny morning.

You have a roughness to your vocal that is very appealing.
Great for this song. I agree with Peter that in places the
guitar is a little too loud. And overall there is a real
brightness (almost too bright) to the sound. Like it needs
more mid-range and less treble in the mix. I'm no expert,
not sure how to fix that, but I think a filter on the master
track might work?

Nice piece.

Thanks so much for the comments! I think the song went pretty well too. Recording vocals is my favorite part of creating a song. Those are some really good tips about the ending and the fact that the guitar is too loud in some places. I'll experiment a bit more and perhaps post another version of this. I never knew how to use the Gate before. I'll try and clean up the ending that snips off too. All very good suggestions that I never would have picked up without your help. Thanks everyone!

...has a coffeehouse feel. I don't think it's always
important to have a studio sound (unless you are trying to
sell it, of course...). I like the genuine feel and almost live
sound to this. Nice work, both of you.

you two! Beautiful harmony. Thx for sharing.

It has an excellent feel!

It is a good "get back on the road" kind of song.

I agree with pgreenstone about the guitar level. The
playing has a great swing but your fine voice voice needs
to be nearer the top.

words to live by! great writing & performance,
fairymagic. your voice rounds out tiler's playing perfectly.
nice to hear something so positive-it rubs off on people &
spreads

Excellent song- played and sung very well. This is a very
sweet tune. I was really drawn to the positivity of this
song... sounds like you had a smile on your face while
singing.

Bring the vocal forward more is possible. Did you double
the vocal track on this? This is just a little mixing away
from being ideal!

What a great mix of wonderful talent. I love both of your stuff. It's a pleasure to listen to you together. You both do each other a great justice. Well done. Is there another one coming?

[ Reply to This ]

Love the vocals. This is a great tune all around.

[ Reply to This ]

What I like about your vocals is that they are unique.
There is an ease and a joy to your singing. There are
some intonation things that at first my Left-Brain said
"little flat there, little sharp there." And in most cases, my
left-brain would have a point. But with you, its very clear
that you have a great ear, and so my right-brain would
defend by calling it a "relaxed" style. Either way it fits this
song perfect.

I slightly disagree with Emily's comment about not
needing a studio sound, and only because I would lurve to
hear the full tonal range of your voice as recorded using a
good mic. Both you and Fairy Beth (any relation?) offer the
same dilemna--standout female vocalists, pinhole mics...

Oh, and the guitar playing is as great as it always is, Tiler-
man. Again, I'd love to hear more presence and less
volume, if that makes any sense. I'm getting some
amazing sound from my J-45 by simultaneously recording
the signal from my bridge pick-up and mic-ing the tone-
hole. Nice work!

Great job guys! The guitar and the singing are really beautiful. Nicely written song, enjoyable to listen to. --D

The first verse sounded a little hesitant and uncertain to
me but then you came in with the chorus and pow I was
hooked. Great voice that will only get better. I hear
something in your vocals that is lacking in so many others
- real, honest feeling. I agree the guitar backing was a
little loud in places and perhaps you were trying to follow
what the guitar was doing too closely. Maybe a more
sensitive backing is needed for your kind of voice. But
overall very nice song.
