Take care Rebecca and Jochen https://soundcloud.com/rebecca-newcountry/on-this-road On this Road What if we could leave, leave everyday life, pack our things, take a chance and leave it all behind. Oh, what if we could create a new path, straight ahead into the wide open. On this road, open road I feel alive, alive again somehow. On this road, open road I feel my love, my love for you, for you. Even if we get lost on the way. I just know we will find back on track again. What if we could built a ferry for the flow. Follow where the water falls, wherever it may go. Oh, what if we could create a new path. No, there is no turning back, just moving straight ahead to the wide open.

I found you've not commented on anyone else's work since May last year. On that basis I'll demure. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

And vocally, you always sound great! In the past, I think I've complained that your high end was a bit too brittle for my tender ears. That's not a problem here - I can turn up the volume without the high end becoming painful or the mix sounding unbalanced. Some minor nits about pronunciation, though. The vowel sound on "track" in "back on track" is being softening it so it comes across as "truck". (Just in case, I ran it through Spleeter and isolated the vocal to make sure my ears weren't playing tricks on me). The lyric "leave everyday life" also doesn't come across clearly. You've almost dropped the /V/, and put an /UH/ sound in front of the word "day". I'm mis-hearing the line as "leave that free day alive". My son - who has much better hearing than me - heard it as "leave that great daylight". An excellent track! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Super vocal, nice instrumentation, and a good mix. What's not to like about that! Excellent song.

Every couple that is struggling in their relationships with each other should have the opportunity to listen to and feel the reaching-for-the-sky energy in this song. It's exhilarating in its upbeat musicality and hopeful lyrics. I love the subtle way you harmonized your vocal. The songs feels free and playful in its form. It's a gift.

One thing I’ll add..I think that your opening line could be improved..the way you broke up “cou—ould” into two syllables to cover the melody notes wouldn’t be a bad idea if you were going to continue that pattern throughout...but a better approach would be to re-engineer that first phrase...that’s what I wou—ould do!

We also were able to get to know some members and correspond with them via messages, received a lot of good advice there too and are very grateful for the collaborations, that came out of this. We always wondered, if it was okay to be in the Forum without responding a lot to the work of other members in the users showcase, because we simply did not find enough time to do so properly. You are absolutely right, everybody here deserves appropriate Feedback on his or her work, we want to apologize, if we offended anybody in not doing so. Best Regards and Take care. Rebecca and Jochen
