(picasso songbook) joi de vivre by honker (ken and orh)words by fuzzface

[Oldrottenhead]

this is a completely different version from the first version by ken and i https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=8732.0 ken came up with new music and fuzzface provided lyrics.

there are two versions of this song that i cant decide between, version 1 includes a mix of kens music with a mix of experiment in ambience.

version two is just kens music.

here is version 1

here is version 2

Great song guys !!!!!!!!! Really great !!!

Can't decide which version I prefer. Seems to me the un-ambience version has had another mastering effect, cause the overall sound of ver1 sounds better. I would love to here a version with a tad less ambience and the same mastering as ver1 !!

Anway, fab tune !!!

And fab words FF !!! just fab!! You really have made some great poetry for this project !!!

[Oldrottenhead]

yeah v1 was done with live mastering v2 with pop
but v1 was accidentally mastered twice i did a master without vox using live mix, then when vocals where added i mastered again using live mix yet again, i am a numpty

I'm going to check them both out today at work.....

Wow... really nice.

This has come together beautifully.

I think I prefer the 2nd one because the words are clearer.  Typical for me being the word guy.

And we imported words from ORH's Joie de Vivre making this a writing collaboration.

I have to agree with Geir, love the ambience effect, just needs a bit less.

I think I am feeling the same way.  I would personally like to hear some vocal chorus kind of stuff, especially towards the end.  My ears seem to be searching for something else.  Maybe it's bass.  Not sure, I need a few more listens.  It feels a little empty, even though there is a lot going on, maybe that is intentional and I am just not tuned in enough yet to this one.
