Re'mix - "I'll Be Right Here With You"

You may have heard "I'll Be Right Here With You", it's from 08. I re-did the vocal using M-audio, and remixed it using 8.5.
 
I hope you give it listen!!!

Below is from the olp post
"I'll Be Right Here With You" is a rewrite. I stayed with the melody for the most part, but changed about 8 line in the lyrics.
I never posted it on here, because I never like the way it turned out the first time.

I’ll Be Right Here With You


You can ask me if you like - but when it’s cold
I’ll light a fire for you
If you need someone to care -just to hold
I’ll fill that desire too
When your troubled and down
I will bring you delight
Through thick and thin I’ll stick around
I’ll be here both, day and night

Chorus

I’ll be right here with you
To light a fire on a cold winters day
I’ll be right here with you
Sharing what ever comes are way
Take a trip see the world
Or just a walk down the street
I’ll be right here with you
It’s a promise that I’m gonna keep

If bad luck should come your way - and make you sad
I’ll cure that sadness in you
When you have something to share - makes you glad
I’ll share in your gladness too
When there’s nothing to do
I’ll make it your leisure
When there’s just to much you’re going through
I’ll turn your day to pleasure

Repeat chorus

It can be a cold cold world
And sometimes it gets even colder
I’ll be here to keep you warm
As life goes on - as we grow older

That's a very uplifting pure pop song. I like it.

Production and arrangement sound very well to me ... except that guitar-like parallel/counter melody to the bass line during the chorusses (sounds a bit like a GM overdrive guitar, sorry ). It's quite upfront and dry and gets a bit annoying over time. But that might be just me ...

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Tommy

crisp, clean, refreshing, like a good white wine.

I agree...good pop song...nice clean mix, good musicanship....

I have to agree with JT...that midi sounding thing in the chorus is very distracting, and annoying... remix w/o it.

The solo instrument (midi synth) at about 3:10 sounded really good...consider replacing the chorus thing with that.....but let it play in the background.

I hear that my music is a 60s sound so much that it feels great the hear the eighties. I heard the 80s one other time when someone sade I soulded Like OMD. I have some songs That I am working on right now that I hope to bring in to the now, But I like hearing the 80s as long as it's good 80s. Thank you, Terry

Good Pop tune. Nice mix. Made me think I was a kid again and that's not a bad thing.

Hi Terry

You the first thing that occured to me on this was that it had something Gilbert O'Sullivan about it, with a touch of early Jeff Lynne in the production. It also reminded me of another Cakewalk Forum member, Kiwisdontdrinktea, who writes in a very similar style.

I'd have like to hear an 8 bar intro rather than going straight in with everything, but it's your song to arrange. I like the strings that come in at the three minute mark.

Cheers

nice work as ever, the vocals are pure 60s, i see where someone has commented on the 80s, the verse could be early Madonna or something similar, whilst an elcetronic drum beat and non-chorused/slapback vox would complete the transformation! your stuff is always well put together and feels like a thru-composed song. i'd like to hear some drum variation in the middle, just to break things up a bit.

Yeah, definitely got a 60's feel for me. As other's have mentioned the mix is very good. The separation was done quite well. I wanted a little bit more kick drum, but that might just be my taste. Also, I think some harmonies thoughout the song especially in the chorus (I think someone else mentioned this) would help to set off the chorus from the rest of the song.

Did you double-track the vocals or did you apply an effect to them? I'm wondering if it would add more interest to only apply the double-track in key parts to the song. However, Lennon did that quite often in early Beatles music (mainly because they had to pull the vocals out on those recordings) and it worked pretty well for them. :)

Take nothing that I've said as criticisms, I like the song a lot. Keep up the great work.

Take care,
Tom

Terry, I hope you will take this as a compliment...

I heard a song the other day (forgot where) that had a vocalist that strongly reminded me of you. The difference is the music was very contemporary and modern. Prior to hearing that, I wondered how you would sound with a more modern style, it seemed to me that great voice needed to come to the modern era, but I was not sure if the vocal style would work well in a modern song.

It did work very well. While there is nothing at all wrong with the 60's sound to your music, I would really like to hear you singing a modern style song (not that I am particularly good at producing modern music myself - I seem to be stuck in the 70's a lot of the time).

I missed the original mix, but this one sounded great, and as always, your vocals are second to none.

Always a pleasure to hear your stuff.

Cheers

We all have our own style, there's nothing wrong with having one, your current style is a good one.

What Robby said ^^^

This is (and your other stuff too) much more enjoyable for being true to itself IMO, rather than trying to fit into some definition of 'modern' whatever that may be.

Someone said once along the lines of that 'fashion changes so often because it can't bear to look at itself for very long'.

Very droll Tom...

Sounds like feel-good 60's music to me. Love it!
