Thanks CDO2!
NAh, lets leave those back up vocals down low in the mix, lol.
Ok, youve been inspired so lets get collaborating! :slight_smile: Thanks again.

Dominique what have you done ? :scream:
Your first and then starting like this is setting the bar very highā€¦ :sunglasses: :clap: :man_bowing: :bouquet:

I think your voice is very pleasant with this and it fits fantastically with the very fine singing voice of Allison ā€¦ wonderful instrument stuff etc and the solo is really really enjoyable too, Allisonā€¦ :sunglasses:

As Jeniffer indicates, there is certainly more to be achieved, but my goodness, there must still be something left for later collaborations :smile:

Greetings :clap: :clap: :clap:

Really enjoyed this one folks :smiley:
What a fantastic debut collaboration between you two!
No niggles here on the song and performance front. My only suggestion would be if you go to the trouble of putting it all together, Iā€™d go the extra mile and add even just a simple picture you like. (Iā€™m a visual guy). Iā€™d also add the lyrics. You can use the hide function if you donā€™t want them ā€˜out thereā€™. Finally Iā€™d write the credits down instead of ā€˜Aly did everything elseā€™
What a partnership!
Congrats :sunglasses:

Fabulous Dominique and Allison, that was lovely. Such a chilled vibe. Vocal worked so well. Great tones, cool lead. Maybe the backing vocal could have been a wee bit louder in the mix as I heard it on my gaming headset (but that can also be the headset not great on those higher frequencies).

Bravo. Hope we hear more from the two of you.

I hope Dominique is reading all these rave reviews! Heā€™s so humble & he has no idea how talented he is!

Thank you for the glowing words!

Oh no - I havenā€™t been away for such a long time!
I was reading a few comments on the tablet yesterday , but I donā€™t like typing on it!

I am very much appreciating that youā€™ve taken the time to listen to our song!

Thank you, Pamela! :slight_smile: I also keep your renditions and your collab in good memory!

Thank you, Phil! I remember you from your progressive rock piece - just the thread next door so to say - where you played all kinds of intruments!

Thanks a lot, Jennifer! Yes, there could be some change, contrast somewhere.
I think that Allison kept the song simple on purpose, so it would be easier for me on my first collab.

singing ā€œgreatā€ - oh, wellā€¦ :blush:

And - beginner? Iā€™m pretty much new to songwriting. And collab for sure!
Recorded some musical bits when trying to learn the piano on a masterkeyboard around 2000 or so. So I wasnā€™t a beginner in terms or recording musical bits to a DAW.
After I learned a bit of guitar, I reinstalled a DAW and recently upgraded it, and then watched a few videos on recording, effects and mixing, but I feel like I nearly know nothing :slight_smile:

But Iā€™m really glad to learn the guitar and now I feel like songwriting is achievable!
And you played a part in that! Thanks again, Allison!

Thanks a lot, Hec, my friend! :slight_smile:

Thank you Eddie! :slight_smile: I just see youā€™ve got a lot of recorded songs and Iā€™ll check them out!

Thanks a lot, Tod! And Iā€™m also thankful for your critique!
I didnā€™t find it easy to mix. Put the vocals like they sounded right, next time, I thought Iā€™d have to adjust this track, then that, and so on. It wasnā€™t because of the insecurity with my vocals. It felt ok to me, but I wasnā€™t sure about it.
I need to go back to learning a bit more on it and need more practice, probably. And I feel Iā€™ll do more of this thing, so practice will increase anyway soon!

Iā€™m glad you checked it out! And thanks a lot for your nice words, Constance!

Thanks a lot, Craig! Next time, Iā€™ll try to find a better balance with the backing vocals!
And - donā€™t miss your invitation above! Ok, not, if you really donā€™t feel like it.
But honestly, Iā€™m convinced youā€™d come up with something nice!
And even - if you wouldnā€™t be entirely happy, this is still a great learning experience!

Well done Dom and Alykat, lovely song! I love that instrumental in the middle, wonderful melody, fitting perfectly the song. :slight_smile:

Rogier, your comments are always incredibly nice! Thanks a lot!

Fortunately you leave some space for potential improvement! :sunglasses:
Thereā€™s also a silly BLIM song (from me alone) in the BLIM only AVOYP section if your mood is too good and you can take some bad stuff, haha :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot, Brian! Itā€™s much appreciated!

Youā€™re right! I was too fast when writing this and those credits werenā€™t something to skip! Iā€™ll correct it!

What do you mean by ā€œpictureā€? Put it on youtube as a video with sliding pictures, or so?
Iā€™m not as good with video as you are! Still remember your cover with that hairdresser scene! Marvelous!

Thank you so much, Paul! I rarely had those while studying, certainly not in maths, but at least now from you! :slight_smile:

Thank you, David!
Me too, I hope it! Maybe not tomorrow, but one fine day hopefully!
And I appreciate the hint on the volume balance! It had been mentioned before, so youā€™re not the only one!

Oh, I canā€™t take that much! Enough now :slight_smile:

Thank you very much, Gordon!

Thanks a lot for checking our song out, Boris! Yeah, that instrumental was Allison, of course! But Iā€™m in to improve on my abilities in this regard as you know! See you soon!

Iā€™m not up to that yet (just avoyps etc), but Iā€™m trying to write a song with Dominique at the moment. My lyrics game is slooow. Iā€™m blaming insomnia rather than ineptitude lol.

Now, that was a great first original. Itā€™s not easy to come up with good lyrics, melody, and arrangement. I think you hit your vision very well. To me, originals are very personal, so I wouldnā€™t make any suggestion for changes (apart from bumping up the backing vocals), plus I think itā€™s good the way it is already. So something you should be very proud of producing. Well done, both of you.
