Description A song for my father who died a few years ago.
My first expedition into Logic Pro 8.
Lyrics Big Man, People Just Loved
You So Much, Then
You Made Them Laugh
So Dry, Ben

You Were, The One
I Looked To For Direction
You Were There
Giving Affection

You Never Knew
You Never Guessed
How Much They Loved You
Big Man

You Never Knew
You Never Guessed
How Much They Loved You
Big Man

Hey Look Over There
See How It's Oh So Bare
Hey Look Over There
See How It's Oh So Bare

Sometimes I Think You
Are Still Right There,
Over My Shoulder
In The Chair

I Can, Never Say In
This Song How
Much You Are Missed
Yesterday And More Now

You'll Never Know
You'll Never Guess
How Much I Miss You

Nice to have something new from you, Len. This sounds fantastic - the move to Logic is very noticeable on this. The production is great - your voice sounds deep and rich on this - a sweet tribute to your dad.

Tx...What a great title&song!(makes me think of my dad who passed 7 years ago) GREAT of You to do this for Your father...I just love "dedications" & that kind of thing, it can be easier doing somethings when thinking of "Your Next" & not ofyourself... Lovely .
tx for dl so good voice You have : )

lengold said 233 days ago
Lena...
so pleased you liked this - he really was a 'Big Man'.
Cheers
Len



Moviz said 233 days ago
A nice
tribute in the lyrics Len, and the clarity stands out both in the vocal and the instruments.... a more powerful sound than previously, so I guess that's due to the Logic 8, nice one, cheers M

lengold said 233 days ago
Thanks for
the vote of confidence on the production Mo. Logic wasn't as frightening as I thought it would be, but then I've only tickled the surface of it.
Cheers
Len



magnatone said 233 days ago
Big Man
what a beautiful tribute to your father, your love comes shining through. And congrats on Logic - you're a lot braver than me! And echo is right - it shows. Thanks!

lengold said 233 days ago
Karen I'm
really pleased that you took the time to listen and comment. Logic was a bit like getting in the swimming pool - once you're in it's not as cold as you imagined.
Cheers
Len

Love the instrument choices, too....Kudos :)

lengold said 233 days ago
Voice
Thanks for the voice comment - I am never sure about my own voice - sounds terrible to me - also the hardest thing to mix.
Really appreciate the complimentary comments Cat. Thanks.
Cheers
Len



Bob Rodgers said 233 days ago
Hi Len!
Good to see a new song from you and this is great! A very clear production with a great vocal from you!
Great sounds too and a nice choice of instruments, wonderful tribute to your dad, I loved it!!

lengold said 233 days ago
Hello Bob
Yes it was a little bit longer than usual between songs. Been very busy at work and too tired in the evenings, coupled with getting to grips with Logic. Back on track now though.
Thanks for the lovely vote of confidence - really pleased you liked it. Must speak soon.
Cheers
Len



dajama said 233 days ago
Excellent sound

Dee...
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, and am so pleased you liked it.

thoddi said 233 days ago
fathers
Very well witten words to remember your father. You write "You Were, The One, I Looked To For Direction". Something that is true for me too.

Your music is always very cool. The sounds has a strange vibe to them, but the way you put them together makes them pull in the same direction. Well crafted.


lengold said 233 days ago
thoddi - I was just
listening to your latest and I love it. Thanks for the listen - I probably am a bit strange. Really pleased you liked it.
Cheers
Len



Peter Bauckham said 233 days ago
Unique
as ever Len. Great song and excellent production. You've obviously got to grips with Logic. Sounding better than ever!

Peter

lengold said 233 days ago
Unique - I like that word.
Thanks Peter. When are we going to hear something new from you? Your public awaits.
Cheers
Len




Ibstrat said 233 days ago

lengold said 233 days ago

Cheers
Len



Vic Holman said 233 days ago
cool tribute Len
a strong song in craft and production. very clean and beautifully done.

Logic sure makes a difference doesn't it?

lengold said 233 days ago
Hello Vic
Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes it does make a difference, I am trying to find out where to stop - it's very easy to go over the top with it.
Cheers
Len



rsorensen said 233 days ago
original!
great production and cool sounds here. nice job.

lengold said 233 days ago
Original... Another word I like
Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. I am really pleased that someone with your abilities liked the production.
Cheers
Len



Macaudion said 233 days ago
Dammit...
You broke me down, Len. Having a hard time w/ how big of an effect that this is having on me right now. Lets just leave it w/ a sentiment from me that says, you nailed it soooo deeply,

I guess that I needed to hear this one today.

Thanks! Dion



lengold said 233 days ago
Touched
I feel honoured that this touched you Dion. I can't ask for more. Massive thank you.
Cheers
Len



lavalamp said 233 days ago
Outstanding

LL

lengold said 233 days ago
Thank you
Dave for that lovely comment - really pleased you dug it.
Cheers

tokai said 233 days ago
big heart
sorry that you lost your old man..but you tribute to him is very touching, well done mate! cheers

lengold said 233 days ago
Big Heart
It was a few years ago now and not quite as raw as it used to be, I couldn't have written this then. Thank you for the lovely comment. Appreciated.
Cheers
Len



jiguma said 233 days ago
Logic suits you
Big, full sound and a nice tribute to your dad Len.

I thought you'd left ........... ;)

Some nice touches in the instrumentation - but the sound is really strong.

Neil

lengold said 233 days ago
Still here Neil and hope to be for a while yet!
Yes I think Logic does suit me. There is still so much in it that I have no clue whatsoever about. It will be a long, long time before I will feel proficient.
Thanks for the lovely comments Neil (I was expecting more of a critique when I saw your name there, got a bit worried).
Cheers
Len



davisamerica said 232 days ago
right then len
so glad you are back from never being gone ..lol.. production on this is really very nice ... it complements your wonderful voice well. very stong song content and a touching tribute indeed. glad you took the plunge to logic ... you wear it well .. really fantastic to have a new len gold tune .. so will say thank you and download!
..VERY NICE MY FRIEND...
Jack

lengold said 232 days ago
Good To be Back
It's always nice to get home Jack even when you haven't been away.
I really appreciate your unstinting support Jack. My wife bought me Logic for my birthday a couple of weeks ago - but I didn't tell her until afterwards. I am trying to get to grips with it and enjoying the challenge.
Thanks again Jack, nice to think you have downloaded.
Cheers
Len



egobandit1 said 232 days ago
Ahhh!
My Lengold Fix I needed that. Some great piano progression the chord changes realy grab me. Those crazy drums put the chaos in the in lyrics. Love the beatle like bridge and the backward synth excellent!

lengold said 232 days ago
Ahhh!
Thanks so much Tim for the lovely comment - really happy to think that you enjoyed it.
Cheers
Len



guitapick said 231 days ago
I miss...
...my dad. This is a fine tribute, Len...hat's off to you...

lengold said 231 days ago
Yeah...
Thanks a lot Bob for listening and the nice comment - appreciated.
Cheers
Len



woofer3 said 231 days ago
nice tribute Len -
you know my son calls me -big feller- and he's about five inches taller than me.

Very touching piece,

John.

lengold said 231 days ago
Thanks big feller
Thanks for listening John - the reason for 'Big Man' was because he said to me when he was about 84ish and just a shadow of his former self, how he used to be a 'Big Man'. Which he most certainly was in every sense of the word.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Len




bud said 231 days ago
Great tribute
and really adventurous composition - remind me a little of Stephen Merrit/Magnetic Fields. Excellent post - and congrats wrestling Logic to the ground - I've yet to summon the courage.

lengold said 231 days ago
Logic
Bud - I now have to look up Stephen Merrit/Magnetic Fields - new name(s) to me. Very pleased you liked it and thanks for the comment. I haven't wrestled Logic to the ground by any means yet, maybe just got one arm up its back. Although it seems to be yielding bit by bit easier than I thought it would.
You must summon the courage, it's worth it.
Cheers
Len



said 230 days ago
Lovely tribute...
Very touching, this. Very BIG sound for a big man. Nice clean production too Len.

Love your singing in this as well.

Peace!

lengold said 230 days ago
Michael...
thanks so much for the lovely comments, especially about the production. I still don't like the sound of my voice - but am not quite so worried about it anymore so appreciate that comment too.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Len

VOX HUMANA
Len:

I understand where you're comin from re your vox. It has taken me a couple years to get used to the sound of my own. It still makes me cringe sometimes!

You shouldn't worry about it...Lotsa folks like it, me included!

Be well!

lengold said 230 days ago
Thanks for
that vote of confidence Michael - appreciated.
Cheers
Len



Robert Rayner said 230 days ago
A great tribute
Lovely lyrics and so well put together. I love the crunchy drum track(s).
I know how hard you've been working on the Logic my friend and it's
obviously payed off. Lovely song and as I said, a great tribute to your Dad

lengold said 230 days ago
Thanks for
your unstinting support Bob - really appreciated. Glad you liked the song and production - WHERE IS YOUR ONE? I am waiting - poised like a coiled spring for it.
Cheers
Len



BeccaJohnson said 230 days ago

Very cool steeped in
originality. It's been awhile since you put out a new song. Was looking forward to it and as usual never disappoints.

Originality - like that word

craft said 230 days ago
very good song
Deep voice on a deeper song.. Well done

lengold said 230 days ago
Thanks
Craft - appreciated.
Cheers
Len



buckhorn said 229 days ago
The
Common denominator of your stuff is that "it just sounds good" , and a lot of music doesn't to me. Especially like your use of percussion. Cheers

lengold said 229 days ago
That's a
very nice thing to say Matthew. Thanks you.
Cheers
Len



spitlogic said 229 days ago
ok big man
Nice track. Like the lyrics.

lengold said 229 days ago
Thanks very
much spit for commenting - appreciated.
Cheers
Len



Alannah said 228 days ago
Very nice ....
.. somewhat "Bowie-esque" sound in those deep ole vocals Len .... is that your Dad in the picture? He looks a little like my ex-brother-in-law .... this tune also has an epic quality to it ... with the swells (swells of emotion perhaps) ... I enjoyed the visit here!

lengold said 228 days ago
Thanks for
dropping by Alannah and the nice comment - appreciated.
Cheers
Len



Diviner said 228 days ago
Lovely tribute to your father
Very interesting music and the lyrics are really good, sweet and affectionate. Cool track Len.

lengold said 227 days ago
Keith - I really
appreciate your continued support. Thanks.
Cheers
Len



Brian D said 223 days ago
great.............
this sounds huge! you make me want to upgrade to Logic! this is a very moving tribute to your Dad. I love all the mellotron - but you knew I'd say that, didn't you? ; )

great work!

lengold said 223 days ago
Brian...
your friendship means a great deal to me and I really value your complimentary comments. Thanks again.
Cheers
Len



said 221 days ago
Great!
Great tribute to your dad, your vocals here is fulled with feelings and the music sounds great to my ears. It's another LENGOLD classic!

Take Care
- Yeman A. Al-Rawi

lengold said 221 days ago
You are a
lovely person Yeman, thanks for spending your precious time listening and I am very pleased that you liked it.
Waiting for your next - 'My Town' is a true classic.
Cheers
Len



BossHook said 188 days ago
I have
heard my share of tributes as we all have - this one stands out at as such a unique expression because of your alternative approach to the melody. I'm sure the Big Man knows how much you miss him.

lengold said 188 days ago
I am so
pleased that you took the time to listen John and very appreciative of the nice comment.
Cheers
Len



guygrooves said 149 days ago
Very touching
Len, I don't know how I missed this one but I am glad I found it. I can relate to this song and I guess that is what makes it so powerful. Great writing on this one. I like your musical style, hard to pigeon hole it. I imagine you have to think when you come to the genre part of uploading. Thanks for sharing this one.

lengold said 149 days ago
Thanks again
Guy - it really is good of you to listen to these. This is one of my favourites. These days I just put everything in alternative rock, whether it is or isn't. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Cheers
Len
