beautiful and powerful, vocals reminds me a bit of Dave Matthews

sensitive and warm, I like it very much BD!

Nice tribute to a new (to me) couple of artists...Thanks so much for making me aware of Salt Fire BD!

Your guitar playing instantly grabbed my attention.  The track played on my phone when I was doing something else.  Grabbed  my headsets and it was you.  Great track.  Things that come from the heart are meaningful!

Excellente song et une parfaite réalisation musicale. Excellente voix. Joli travail.

Paroliers : Hubert Giraud / Noel Roux

On peut vivre sans richesse
Presque sans le sou
Des seigneurs et des princesses
Y'en a plus beaucoup
Mais vivre sans tendresse
On ne le pourrait pas
Non, non, non, non
On ne le pourrait pas
On peut vivre sans la gloire
Qui ne prouve rien
Etre inconnu dans l'histoire
Et s'en trouver bien
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Il n'en est pas question
Non, non, non, non
Il n'en est pas question
Quelle douce faiblesse
Quel joli sentiment
Ce besoin de tendresse
Qui nous vient en naissant
Vraiment, vraiment, vraiment
Le travail est nécessaire
Mais s'il faut rester
Des semaines sans rien faire
Eh bien, on s'y fait
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Le temps vous paraît long
Long, long, long, long
Le temps vous parait long
Dans le feu de la jeunesse
Naissent les plaisirs
Et l'amour fait des prouesses
Pour nous éblouir
Oui mais sans la tendresse
L'amour ne serait rien
Non, non, non, non
L'amour ne serait rien
Quand la vie impitoyable
Vous tombe dessus
On n'est plus qu'un pauvre diable
Broyé et déçu
Alors sans la tendresse
D'un coeur qui nous soutient
Non, non, non, non
On n'irait pas plus loin
Un enfant nous embrasse
Parce qu'on le rend heureux
Tous nos chagrins s'effacent
On a les larmes aux yeux
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, mon Dieu
Dans votre immense sagesse
Immense ferveur
Faites donc pleuvoir sans cesse
Au fond de nos coeurs
Des torrents de tendresse
Pour que règne l'amour
Règne l'amour
Jusqu'à la fin des jours

La Tendresse (Bourvil) par Tulipe et Dominique

■Helplessly Hoping (2005 Remaster) - Crosby, Stills and Nash 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdBs7JFn9Pk

◇A historic masterpiece that can be played with a simple chord progression and basic three-finger playing technique◇

[Am7]Helplessly hoping her  [C]harlequin  hovers near-[G]by,    awaiting   a   [D]word.
[Am7]Gasping at glimpses of [C]gentle true  spirit he [G]runs wishing he could [D]fly
only to [Am7]trip at the [C]sound of good-[G]bye. [D] 
------------------
I started playing this song to get my hands used to playing a guitar with nylon strings (ball end type). This is because I often play it for tuning purposes. I feel that it will still take some time for me to get used to these strings, so I will upload a number of recordings here, including some of me sluggishly, and show off my practice scenes.

I know that this song has been covered many times by large choirs and choral groups consisting of several people at recitals and the like. I recommend that you use the link below and use it as one of your regular practice songs :)

Once you listen to this recording, you'll notice that my guitar strings have a slight crackling sound. This wouldn't be a problem if my guitar wasn't used to the new strings, but this song uses a lot of open string sounds. Therefore, even if the performer tries to control the chattering sound with his left hand, he may not be able to do so. 

In other words, our acoustic journey with nylon strings has only just begun. I would be happy if you could feel that at this stage of recording, I am still in the ``beginner'' stage where I can't control myself. Because if you listen to the original work on YouTube from the link above and start singing along, you won't be able to hear the slight creak of my guitar in this recording. Please sing along with CSN's music source. 

Please master this song that has been sung by many people for decades. And sing along with my guitar. If you are practicing guitar, please follow the same steps. It would be a great honor for me to be able to start this nylon string acoustic journey with you all from the very beginning. That's a great start :)

Lyrics
Well, your folk rocks
Pristine
Just over the channel
Brightoned two sheen

Salt Fire looped by the hour
Teachers of tuned tone harmonious flower
Guitars for me cornered still
Their voicings will tend to your will
New musical pathways the pill
Everytime, ears getting that fill

Salt Fire go hear their higher
Salt Fire Lo-fi classical attire
Salt Fire Go hear their higher
Acoustic crumbs of grandeur
Harmonies. The biggest aliens have landed...

So come, let's all fly away in a song
We do it cause we are it
This is where we belong
Good tempered bones
Some tension tones
Utopian homes
Fly away in Salt Fire song
Good bye dystopian drones
We're aligned 
Our staves are long

This song is about the artist Salt Fire across the pond in Brighton. Superb music worth a permanent rabbit hole & I think worth more ears...

Ok so track filled. Added Celtic Harp, Classical Guitar and strings via Keyboard 

Theres a nice point here. So I used the phone recording, imported to the daw and it became the base and click track for the song. It's a nice way of locking in your human time but still filling over it and getting a full tune with more instrumentation. For those ideas your not at the studio and plugged up... 

Android I end up with an m4a - convert to wav for free online (usually fixes bitrate issues) - import to daw audio track - turn off tempo and click track - Your jam just became the click track. Playing to this only then allows you to lock into your feel again as opposed to recreating the whole thing to a click track from scratch...



On the human time... I was chatting with my best friend Anto the other day. He's a fabulous photographer. He shoots only film and uses an eye piece view finder still. He says it feels more instinctual to him. I feel similarly recording things on the spot in random places... You're playing to your instincts which can be spiritually way more creative I think then sitting down and doing it by sums. Both have their merits but starting more regularly in the former more natural way may offer more instinctual goodies. The method part of the process can always iron out and perfect the unusual things you find instinctually in hindsight when further along the process and it's all getting stitched.


To give the phone recording sufficient presence I add reverb 80%20%/compressor for acoustic guitar/EQed for Vocal/Light Stereo Spread for LF & HF. Then I double tracked it each panned slightly either side. The difference is actually a pretty cool example of cleaning something up for use. Recording wasn't changed aside from the dynamics

Fragile Tales [Green Interlude]

Dear Universe. Please stop all war on planet Earth and give all humans Peace now 🙏🏽

Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here...
