Update 2/15/20 - Another year down... another lesson in humility,  always next year!  

https://hofa-contest.com/song/3738/

Welcome to what looks to be my the last competition for 2019.   HOFA is hosting its annual Christmas mixing competition.   When I got the invite a few days ago I took a listen and was like.....ugggghhhh!!!  An "a cappella" which puts me in my weakest spot for a starting position.  

The human voice when on a piece of music, ends up being one of the most important/relatable parts of the piece.  A great vocal performance can prop up a band... but it very seldom works the other way around.  

It's been one of the more challenging things for me to mix properly.  Here is the 2019 HOFA competition and the only thing on it, VOICES!!.  Challenge accepted HOFA and here is where I ended up brothers and sisters.  

The competition closes out in January so still plenty of time to get into the competition if you want to have some fun....working the faders.  I mean common what else could be more fun?....(blushes)  Really people, such dirty minds!!  haha

Happy Holidays brothers and sisters

Special thanks to Bill from November Sound( https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 ) for being an advisor on the project... Big thank you for this and all your support in 2019. 

On a slight comedic note to one of our own:  Sunnidayz always mentions not being a techie...  If you get here sister.... I fought my production rig for 3 hours this morning to print the final mix and master...  Had everything set last night... wanted to sleep on it before finalizing.  This morning bam..kerchunk..bzzzt....with every session crash... I was reminded of those things you mention, about it getting in the way!  Three hours of fighting for 20 minutes worth of work!!

Houses II

The house that was growing, 
while you were cooking,
had too much concrete,
too many doors  and 
too many crevices
to become a home.

It had too many walls,
against which anger and sadness were banging,
without being flushed through the drain.

The silence of long afternoons,
needles knitting by themselves,
chamber pots motionless under the beds. 

There were no blankets woollen enough
to cover the winter evenings
and mornings that followed.

The switched on lights were signals falling through.
Slides of words were bouncing off big heavy carpets
like dust
on the floor.

Words: Manca Klun
Sounds: Alessandro De Oliveira Bastos

Houses II

Sång Lisa Johansson

Vila(kom tillbaks) Improvised

Its all how I feel and all how I am
You're led to the slaughter like a nervous lamb
There's a smirk on my face and a glint in my eye
My hearts beating faster and I don't know why

CHORUS1
I'm addressing you whilst mentally undressing you
Smile professionally and drink up your red wine
Oh my fantasies

How is your day?  And how I do stutter
Whilst trying to talk smooth as I ooze out pure butter
Ogling your moves and ogling your shapes
I'm sensing that I kinda give you the creeps

CHORUS1

CHORUS2
Angel / My Angel
Flirtatious fantasies of mine
Slightly amplified by wine
Be I friend or be I foe?
These feelings grow

Pat on the head for how your are performing
I can't help the feeling, uncontrollable yearnings
Dying to kiss you, and these signs you've read
Lets cut the chatter and head straight to bed

CHORUS1
CHORUS2

Its all how I feel and all how I am
You're led to the slaughter like a nervous lamb
There's a smirk on my face and a glint in my eye
My hearts beating faster and I don't know why

CHORUS2

Be I Friend Or Foe

Name That Tune #331

A picture of A horse

i'm in a state of decaying mind
hoping that this time will heal
so if you please don't fret over me
i'm just trying to mend these wounds

i fear i will fade away this time
there is no light, no guiding signs
so if you please don't fret over me
i really hate to see you cry

if you wait you can 
be my saviour
or leave and let it 
devour me
if you stay we may 
still be happy
just so you know
nothing really lasts

i fear i will fade away this time
there is no light, no guiding signs
so if you please don't fret over me
i really hate to see you cry

you already know
i'm losing time
so forget those tears
and know you're mine
don't fear
even though i'm dying
i'll be by your side

i fear i will fade away this time
there is no light, no guiding signs
so if you please don't fret over me
i really hate to see you cry

i fear i will fade away this time
there is no light, no guiding signs
so if you please don't fret over me
i really hate to see you cry
