Herb, I gave you my thoughts in the Nashville songwriters meeting this month and I guess I'll stick to that. As I said then I love the potential of this song and I think some really wonderful things are going on. To me the piano playing is beautiful. I think the lyrics are on the right track for sure, and for sync music there is a fine line between lyrics that don't make any sense and lyrics that make too much sense. To a certain extent they should be kind of vague, for sync. So these are the kind of lyrics that don't really make sense or "shine" outside of the context of the music that they are wedded to, but that's okay, because that's the way it's supposed to be, for this type of ethereal sync song. I think I told you that I spent a long evening many years ago with a guy who was at that time one of the most famous rock and roll singer songwriters on the planet. While we were sitting on the hood of a car he told me that the most important thing that you need to know is that if it's rock and roll, the lyrics can't make sense. And that the moment you start trying to make sense, you kill the rock and roll. I thought that was pretty funny but I think he has a good point. In developing the lyric I think that the more you can work with the struggle that's going on and the way people are struggling, and striving and trying to deal with their struggles, the more powerful the lyrics will be, but that's just a matter of trying your hand at a couple of different approaches, so that you really bring out the poignant aspect of the human struggle element. But I think that all the work will be worth the effort, because I think you're really on to something with this one. I can see you crafting something here that could be genuinely and authentically powerful. David. Thanks for that. I'm trying not to overthink it. If I overthink, and it's easy to do, it will ruin it. Thanks for the compliment on my piano playing skills. It's where I started with music and kind of got away from it when I got a guitar. It's relaxing and challenging to get back to it.

Nice job on the piano. I listened to the version with the bass but couldn't really hear the bass (on quality speakers). Bass isn't really necessary here, but a piano with more depth would help (this one sounds like it it would be great in a lo-fi production - but that's all subjective). The melody on the chorus is the really nice. Best thing about the song. Floyd. Thanks for your insight. The bass is certainly there but intentionally low. With a fatter sounding piano it wouldn't need a bass in it. I'm working on that. I'm glad you like the melody of the chorus I appreciate you.

It sounds fabulous but the inflection of grief struck me as a bit odd. Ray, thanks for listening. Yeah.... I caught that too but somehow neglected a fix. I still have some work left to do with this so..... There's always hope

Herb, I really couldn't decide which version was better. Personally I think upping the volume of the pad and the pad and bass would improve the song, but that is just my opinion. Note I listened with both my near field monitors and my AKG headphones. Regardless this is a very good song. Great job on that synth vocal. Mario, thanks for listening. I was trying to keep the synth parts low but..... I'm still pondering about another mix. Glad you like the song

Here's one reason that I dislike Windows. My notepad PC is dual boot as occasionally I want to run Windows on it. I just did to test something (which didn't work), Windows(8.1) did an update. Now it always reboots to Windows ... it's somehow even bypassing the bios, so even resetting to Linux as the first boot, the PC boots into f***ing Windows! I need my Linux on this PC, no ifs, no buts! I need it urgently! There are times like this when I could actively get to hate Microsoft and Windows.

Gordon.. my…comments about linux…more of my odd opinions…lol… I don't really want to write too much here for fairly obvious reasons. I'll write a quick aside relating very loosely to the Abbey Road & Martin observation ... Most, possibly all, of the cinematic CGI stuff runs on Linux. Nether Windows nor Mac were capable of that in the early days. I'm not sure they are even now. The reasons that Windows and Mac are most popular desktop OSs is because of the power of marketing and because they're the path of least resistance.

Grazie! Ron, Thanx for the pleasant flashback. Super vocal and lyrics. Great mix. THANK YOU, Mario! I'm of an age where the term "flashback" can be as traumatic as, say, "infectious" is today. But I'm going to assume your flashback was a good one. Ha! Howdy Ron....This is a good write. Good upbeat energy, arrangement and well performed vox all around. Lots of imagery which is what I like in a song. Enjoyed the listen. Well done! Glad you liked it. THANKS for the listen! Fun and catchy song Ron!!! Like the retro energy!! Mix sounds fantastic!!! Take care. Greg Greg, THANK YOU! "Fun and catchy" is the objective, so glad this worked for you. Hi, Ron. Cool song -the segmented phrasing reminded me a bit of Squeeze's "The Junction", which is a good thing. A bit more "jolting" that I'd want, but the kind of thing that would quickly grow on me. I'm amazed how you and your team keep putting out solid pop. David, wow. "Up the Junction" is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. How do you write a pop song that good...without a chorus? Difford and Tilbrook just do it for me. Thematically, our beach tune is closer to "Pulling Mussels from a Shell", another banger of a Squeeze song. But all their early stuff is gold. THANKS for the listen and an excuse to go on about my love for Squeeze!

This is what Robin over at Ardour.org stated: There are some statistics from “new version checks” from official versions from ardour.org and Linux users have a slight edge. That does not include all the versions from linux-distros (who disable version check calls to ardour.org ). Ubuntu alone has 74481 installs and that’s only from users who agreed to submit stats. As of today, official stats say 43% Linux, 42% Window, 15% Mac. Yet by factoring in Ubuntu alone it’s more like 75%, 18%, 5%. and that doesn’t include Debian, KXStudio, AVlinux, Arch, etc I think that Ardour was originally developed on Linux and then ported to Windows and Mac, which would give it a head start on Linux. OpenSource and free also helps! Mixbus is a derivative, so not surprisingly is available on Linux. Reaper's guys noticed and supported the many people running it in Wine and worked on a native version. The native has been out for some years now. That business of disabling version checks is significant. There have always been quite a few people in corporate environments who disable (or falsify) version reporting because they use a Linux box against company standards. I kind-of did for many years, particularly for things like version control, where the Windows alternatives were just incompetent. In my case I had an agreement to go against 'policy' as I proved my case. A great many people just go with the flow.

I've followed David's good advices and I've changed the wrong sentence. Now, it is " You bring joy in the ocean "! Do any of you know of a good English or American children's song site with a forum?

Dave, Chris & Marty, Wow! A new favorite! Chris sounds excellent with a perfect slow-burn vocal and some great piano lines. Love the arrangement and the mix as well. You and Marty sound great together. I really like your guitar parts here - I am getting some Santana vibes. Awesome stuff! Bob Appreciate that, Bob! Nice! Beautifully melodic, with more than a hint of Latin. Dave is a marvel on the lead guitar, Marty is unobtrusively but flawlessly playing the bass, and Chris is expressive and communicative in her solo. Well arranged, well written, well performed, VERY well produced, and (not least) a good video. Love that this song is, once more, melodic, and tells a clear story well. Good job - and I agree with Bob about the Santana vibes, of course. Thanks, James!

I think this is a poetic song and I consider the Ocean like a person. So I think that "And you make laugh the Ocean" can be used... Sorry, I wasn't clear. Calling the ocean a person is fine! It's just not written as an English speaker would say it. But then, it wouldn't rhyme, so... All's fair in song and poetry!

I forgot to mention the flute, Marty. Oops I'm so glad you're listening, and subscribing to my YT channel, also. I mainly put videos up there for my Mum to hear ... she prefers YT links to any other kind of music link, so ... Thanks for every listen and comment!

Thanks, Dave. Yes, the word "fountain", for example, is mis-pronounced. Will have to fix that, when I get the chance - but thank you again for listening

The economic benefit for PG Music to quit using J bridge applications was apparent when apple banned 32bit applications. Same with other bridge applications, BBW4, they can't use that with an iPad or Android version, they will require JUCE self-contained code. If the code is moved to the JUCE all the old limitations will be got rid of and you won't be able to open the same project in old Biab, only in a DAW that can handle more bars, real time signatures and decimal tempo maps. The same project from the iPad will open in the JUCE Plugin in a DAW on Linux Mac or Win. If I try and open a frozen Win SGU now on Mac it won't open as the Mac version with those RealTracks have not yet been released on Mac. Whereas with JUCE all platforms are released at the same time with same features.

Thanks Mario, DC Ron and David for your comments. I've changed the chorus using the plural. I think this is a poetic song and I consider the Ocean like a person. So I think that "And you make laugh the Ocean" can be used...

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
