Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Means 'Butterfly' in Spanish.

This is a new song (on my profile) I just wrote a few weeks ago for my girlfriend. She is such a peaceful lady, a beautiful heart, who endured some pretty awful history, and came out of it with stellar shine ... Truly , she is amazing.

This song is an also an exercise in Chromatic phrasing, some pentatonic... very 'beatlish' as always , but only in musical/movement principle , not any attempt in signatuire emulation...

When she heard this...it drafted a tear from her...

I did my job...

Your creative prosody is growing TREMENDOUSLY.
You are becoming very creative!!!! I enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing you old DAWG.

Much Thanks, Glen!

Dog, out of all the musicians/writers whose music I have heard here on bandmix I place your songs among the BEST! While listening to Mariposa and found myself enjoying it like a favorite movie! You know the type that you don't want to end! As I age I am finding that I enjoy the Beatles, Stones and MOST of the music & sounds from the 60's more than I did as a younger man ! Great Job when you start selling your cd's you have a huge fan here! I just wanted you to know that!

Frankly I like your other stuff better ...

Was it my player or is your new track so supersaturated with effects that I can scarcely make out the words ?

George it must be your player. The vocals were very clear to me. I listened to it through head phones plugged into my laptop! I really like the effects you are using.

Sans, It might be the player, but admittedly, this was a click track and wasn't really prepped with a full mix. I know he (George the engineer) did equalize it and said it might be 'hotter' than normal (meaning saturation and other levels).

The only effect he used (that I'm aware of ) was som tap delay and little reverb...mostly on the vocals.

Sorry its not resonating with you, but its cool, I toitally understand..different tastes, etc.

But thanks for giving it a listen Your opinions do carry weight with me

That was Jeff , but I'll second him if that helps.

Ok so now we have two great songwriters up here. I can definitely deal with it.

Thats not to put down any one else like JW who has also posted some great original material.

Thanks Dawg. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

ALL you guys are awsome...! Thanks For the boosts! it means a lot !

very decent piece of poetry,
I'm sure she was pleased and flattered.

Nice!!
