Hi all,
Here's a folk ballad.
Thanks to David Cuny for his good advices.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/in-my-brain

I have two birds in my brain
Don’t know which one to follow
Each one sings me his refrain
The white dove and the black crow

White dove tells me to stay quiet
Just fly by me, that’s wiser
Avoid wild ducks, they could bite
Don’t speak with them, that’s safer

Black crow tells me: drink the rain
Explore the clouds, brave the sky
Just look for fun, life’s a game
You will like it if you try

Chris, this is an outstanding song.
Super synth vocals
Loved that backing band, that violin makes the song.
Super mix.
Loved it.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hey there Chris, I've worked with David once before too - he's great to work with, and you made a good choice. At first I thought the nylon guitar could use a bit more reverb, but as the song progressed, I'm not so sure. You may have already played around with that.

Hi Brad,
This nylon guitar played by Brent Mason is really excellent!

Hi, Christian.

Pleasant song! The harmony worked out especially well.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi David,
I found it funny to add a second voice.
Natalie just sings when the birds are talking.

I like the extended metaphor. Great opening line: "I've have two birds in my brain."

Sweet melody and instrumentation.

Kevin and Natalie sound so authentic. I'm impressed.

Great job, Christian! Nice melody and feel to match the topic. Something to consider...you have a very strong word in the first stanza which rhymes with your hook's main word (i.e., refrain to brain). My two cents is it would be more natural to the ear if you took the extra time wordsmithing to align them in lines 2 and 4.
