I recently posted this traditional Scottish tune as an instrumental version.
Just the other day I had an American singer ask if she could add vocals to it. I gave her the original 1820's lyrics and this is what she did.
Not finished yet but thought you might like to hear a beautiful voice.

Not my type of music, at all.
But, I really like this piece!!!!
Yes, what a gorgeous voice. Love it.
My only complaint would be that near the end, when the drums come in, there are some tuning issues? Also, when the drums first came in I thought there was a flaw in the recording, but I see now what's going on. Still ... with the beauty of the 1st 90% it bothers me. But, could just be me!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for listening Bob.
As always I appreciate any and all comments.
Your are spot on with your observations and this is why I said 'not finished yet'.
When I got the vocal parts in I cobbled the rest together to define the ultimate structure of the composition. I will be returning to the production of this to re-record some parts and give a full re-mix.
Thanks again.

I enjoyed the original, but this is another dimension altogether. Stunning singing  I'm really not keen on the drum at all. I don't see how it fits |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Thanks.
Yes, that will be coming out on the final version. 'Twas an experiment.

Just had some piano added (surprisingly nice) and made a few mix changes. Waiting for a final contribution then will wrap it up.
I'm busy working on a few trad Scots tunes. One of my latest interests since that darned 'flu messed up my (almost)singing voice!

James this is one beautiful piece of music with a fantastic singer. She is really good.
FWIW I wouldn't change a whole lot. I'm glad that you are dropping the drums: I didn't see how they fit either. Plus I'm not sure that I would add any more instruments, maybe a stronger string bass, but that would be it. i love the simplicity you have going on here. Your expert instrument playing and her voice are a super combination, very clean and clear, i.e. if it ain't broken then don't fix it. Just tighten up the timing a tad.
Just my two cents and YMMV.

For those who may be interested here is the final version of this song.
Took out some of the 'experimental' elements, tweaked the bouzouki part and had a light piano section added by another friend.

Hey, this is very, very nice! I don't have time right now to listen to all of it (sorry, but 6+ minutes is a long song). But, I really do like it a lot. If I had the option to change anything I'd bring out the singer's voice a bit. Mind you, that would probably depend a lot of the listening equipment. And I won't even suggest substituting a saxophone for the recorder  Thanks for sharing! |
