Description Feter sent me this song, a 2.43 long conversation between a man and woman in waiting. He asked me to sing the female pert and then graciously let me change nearly all its words. (I’m so picky) Then he graciously asked me to post it on my page, even though he did all the playing, half the writing and half the vocals. Thank you, Feter!

Feter: composition, most excellent guitar playing, lyrics, vocals

Lyrics Good morning my dear lady
Good morning oh, what a day !
You seem pretty weary
Well, what can I say….
Hold on my sweetest love
I will, but it’s so much work
There will be a day to rest
It seems so far away….
Look babe what have we done

Its getting me to much weary
I hear what you say
Isn’t all about the faith
It’s hard to see a way
But we all hope for the freer
I know it will come
He promised us to help us
Look up and hold on
Look Babe what have we done

You took me so serious
I’m waiting to see
I told you I’ll do it
It takes more than love
I want to be an overcomer
So much to go through…
Come and give me a hope
That’s all that I can do
Look Babe what have we done

smiles
always gives me smiles to hear harmonies between New York and Syria... what a great place, gives me hope. Thank you Roxylee and Feter, this is unique, and Feter's guitar work and singing mesh very nicely with Roxylee's singing and harmonies, or is it the other way around? Doesn't matter, another sweet gentle pop-ballad.

However, I am probably almost as anxious as Roxylee for her to get a replacement audio interface so she can use her nice AKG condenser mic instead of the slightly muffled Samson USB mic.

Feter, your side is nice and clear sounding.

ttfn,
Drakonis

of mics and men
Uh, um, you must have skipped the liner notes in your packing to get away for the weekend. Thank you for taking the time to come here for a listen during all the prep. I always appreciate your detailed appraisals, my friend. I hope the mic/pre is working right. I have the pre gain turned almost all the way up and am standing 3 inches from the mic to get a decent level. I hope the mic isn't messed up- shouldn't the Perception be more sensitive than this? Any tips from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Muffle is a bad thing! Feter recorded in a studio and think he used an AKG studio mic, no idea which interface. I love doing harmony and this song was also fun, being a conversation. Yes, MacJams is such a great place for bringing the opposite sides of the world together in song! Thank you again for introducing me to this community and for always being there with your friendship and encouragement.:-)

	What have you done A very good song . Thank you .

	damiengh said 65 days ago
	Bright Bright and hopeful tune. Reminds of the flavors of innocent happy tunes sung in those 60's coffeehouses. You know, the ones with the red or blue checkered tablecloths and those well waxed over Mateus wine bottles candles a glowing. You guys would have made for a wonderful evening.

	Drew Kopr said 65 days ago
	Very COOL! I love the lyrical conversation and melody...man can Roxylee sing...and the chords/song structure is solid. Very COOL!!!

	DustyAttic said 65 days ago
	Two overcomers... in music, life, heart, and friendship. What a treat of a song. When do you go on tour? Can I tag along and carry the equipment?

	Joe Brady said 65 days ago
	Conversation.... A great idea and well done. Like a great stage song, this tune illustrates how two ways of looking at life compliment (and may ultimately depend on each other) and make up some of the parts of the thing we call love. I love the pickin' too. Joe

	kristyjo said 65 days ago
	Great Sweet, folk style piece. I really love the conversational set up here. The guitar playing is also very fine. Excellent collaboration - it sounds like you're together in a home studio, able to see and hear each other as you perform. awesome.

	Cori Ander said 65 days ago
	Pretty and nice Pretty and nice collab! Wonderful song! Congrats to both of you!

	lengold said 64 days ago
	Another lovely song - you two compliment each other perfectly. Cheers Len

	bud said 64 days ago
	Great collab You two sound great together.

elfdaughter said 64 days ago

Beautiful...
Amazing work, you two! Your voices complement each other so well. Even though there's a noticeable difference in the recording values (sorry, Roxy, but your mic isn't as powerful as Feter's it seems), it adds to the piece, rather than detracts - to me it seems that because of that, although its a conversation between a man and a woman, the woman seems to have gone away, and it's more of an internal conversation, or the man conversing with the memory of the woman....anyway, it's a definite one to add to my faves list.

	pablatone said 64 days ago
	this is sweet You guys sound great together. That's a pretty cool idea singing as a conversation. I like it.

	Skean said 64 days ago
	Oh! What a nice thing to do, sent you a song with longing & waiting. You 2 belongs to each other... Very sweet collab :D) LOVE IT.

	Outtaorbit said 64 days ago
	Ahhh Just when I want to chuck it all..... I hear the sounds of where I first loved music. Thanks great tune

	egobandit said 64 days ago
	Nothing like the expression and, a longing for love nice ...collab!!!

	BossHook said 64 days ago
	This has a great parlour folk simplicity that sounds so much easier to do than it is. Great vocal dialogue.

	Mystified said 64 days ago
	Cool Duo :) You two complement each other so well in voices and styles. Lovely, lovely song. Just beautiful, and sung and played with such soul. Thank you for sharing! :)

	screamalexz said 63 days ago
	nice oh i like the conversation back and fourth :) female vocals are especially sweet and nice playing

	TEXASFEEL said 63 days ago
	Sweet guitar Very nice Feter, Most excellent indeed. I like the trade off between the vocals and fine lyrics at that. Great collaboration all around.

paul f. page said 63 days ago

This is...
...a perfect number for the stage...somewhere in the middle of the first act after the relationship has been initiated...Great guitar work, Feter, and the combo of your two voices is just oh so pleasant. Very very nice. I particularly like the unencumbered rendition with just guitar and 2 voices. It needs absolutely nothing else. What a nice surprise to download this for many many listens. Thank you.
Peace.
Paul

Alannah said 63 days ago

Isn't it great ....
... that there are "no borders" at Macjams .... and two people from complete polar opposites of the world can sing together as one ..... I liked the "folkiness" of this tune and it brought me back to times when I am in a room with some musicians and they are jammin ... and the fun is happening ... and people are singing together ... and everyone is just having a good time ! .... very very nice collab you two !

	Rocha Malhada said 62 days ago
	reciprocative conversation The guitar parts, the vocals & lyrics... What a fine exchange. Feter, you are really developing a wonderful singing style - always great on the guitars. Played in counter with Roxy's wonderful talent, and - 'Kaching!' you have together delivered yet another winner. . - Harold

	LunaTrick said 62 days ago
	Nice harmonies.... I like the tone you get on your acoustic too.

	ted23 said 59 days ago
	cool Went for a looong walk this weekend up a mountain in Wales and at the top, as i stood there with the rain and wind driving into my freezing face, this song kept playing in my head. It's very catchy and stayed with me very clearly after one listen.... I've given it a few more now and it's really great. This is a cool tune

	jamorama said 58 days ago
	VERY NICE! Gave me a little chill at the end, quite cool and a great collab for you both -- more, more! -jamorama

	thetiler said 40 days ago
	Thanks fpr sharing. The words are nice to hear, with all the turmoil going around us it is nice to hear good fresh dialog between opposite sex. Thanks for posting.

	davisamerica2 said 36 days ago
	Feter and Roxy, You're are my favorite macjammers because your collaborations produce my favorite songs. If I listen to you guys with my first cup of coffee in the morning, the day goes great! Thank you both for making my day. Terry

	Soulman4270 said 35 days ago
	Feter and Roxylee This song makes me happy.....its like breathing fresh morning air....... I really love the music you two work on.... God Bless you both Italo(Soulman)

PrototypeEightyOne said 23 days ago

YO
not within my normal boundaries of listening, but i actually really enjoyed this. I liked the guitar and the mix was nice and clean. I loved how the vocals went back and forth, and it was written well. There is a noticeable difference with the mics, feters sounding more clear picking up every characteristic of his voice, but yours feels a little distant and heavy on echo or reverb? or maybe pushing out some low end? not exactly sure technically what it is, but in any case it still sounds great. It doesnt take away from anything, just mildy takes away from that intimate feeling..but what can you expect your thousands of miles away and using different equip! So with all things considering this was GREAT! good stuff roxy and feter!

Roxylee said 19 days ago

Thank you!
It's so cool that you listened to this, even though it's not your usual genre of enjoyment. i really appreciate your feedback. Feter recorded this in a real studio, and I have an inexpensive mic and know next to nothing about EQ. I'd love to have my vocal tracks EQ'd by someone who knows what they're doing, or have someone show me how to make it better using just GarageBand. I don't even remember what I did to this- maybe it would have been better dry? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm glad you liked the lyrics- we each basically wrote our own parts and it was fun to sing in the conversation style. We thank you for stopping by. :-)

	sschedra said 1 hour ago
	More! I just think its great that Feter can get studio time and we get to hear more of him. You guys are the folksiest team on the Web. The sweet honesty of Rox's voice contrasting against that earthy smooth baritone of Feter just make this another treat. This tune is also meaningful to me as my daughter just gave birth to another promise in Dec. Thanks guys, Stephen

	davisamerica said 65 days ago
	oh my you two this is so sweet .... I am just awed by this collab. Feter and Roxy I do believe this one of my favorites by you two ... downloaded and smiling am I !!!

	Roxylee said 65 days ago
	Thank you, Jack Smiles are the rewards for the hours spent doing a piece of music. I love the chords in this song.:-)

	Roxylee said 65 days ago
	We thank you, Mark Ahhh... good to know we did our best and it shows. Thank you.:-)

	Roxylee said 65 days ago
	Hi, Ian Yes, the picking is great, and I always enjoy lending my voice to Feter's love songs. Thanks for stopping by.:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thanks, Rick Glad you liked it. :-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Hi, Maurice Hey, where did you go on holiday? What a great pix! :-) Thank you for commenting. Feter got real studio time and I was recording on cheaper stuff, did what I could with it. Thanks! :-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thank you, Lena When I first head this one, I loved it. Feter's picking and chording is wonderful here. The concept of a conversation is always fun for us to do (like Jangling Conversation) and we wanted this one to be real instead of a parody. Hopefully, we'll do more of these. Thank you, and we are happy that you liked it enough to dl! :-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	and thank you for listening to it and for commenting. :-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thanks, Drew I hope my voice holds out for years and years because I love to sing, especially harmony with others. Thank you for stopping by. The chords and structure that Feter played are great, and I keep humming this tune. I'm sure the Quiet Man thanks you, too. ;-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Tell you what, my friend You can carry the sax, harp, clarinet, and the plethora of other instruments you can play, as long as you play them in the band. :-) Thank you for your wisdom, friendship, and listening ear.

	Hi, Joe Thank you. I love how music allows me to sing parts written about someone else, yet I can relate, having experienced many of the same things throughout my life. It's like acting, but not. It seems we are all waiting for things to change. Music helps along the way. Thank you for commenting.:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	So glad you like this, Kristy I tried to give it an intimate feel, even though the equipment and distance came between. We appreciate you coming over to listen .:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thank you, Johannes It still amazes me to think we can collab with people all over the world. I was listening to "Oceans" the other day. I'm grateful to the wonderful artists here, and thank you for listening to these collabs and for your input.

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Funny, isn't it? how our voices just go together like that. I'm grateful that our blend is so pleasing. Thank you.:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thank you, bud Always nice to hear from you. We appreciate your listening.:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	Thanks Kenta How nice of you to come over.:-) I'm always happy to be able to collab with Feter from across the ocean and that our voices go so well together. I am happy that you like our collabs.:-)

	Roxylee said 64 days ago
	60's folk lives on! Thank you for letting us know that this lifted your spirits. This is what making music is all about for me, boosting up the hope robbed by living in this chaotic world. Than you for listening and for letting us know this touched you. I'm a folkie forever. <G>

	Roxylee said 63 days ago
	Thank you, ha cha cha;-) Your name reminds me of Jimmy Durante, but I digress.. Thank you for coming over; we appreciate it.:-)

	Roxylee said 63 days ago
	Thank you for noticing that it sounds easier than it was to do. It took more than a few tries for me to be satisfied with the timing in how I answered Feter's lines. Thank you for stopping by! :-)

	Roxylee said 63 days ago
	We thank you, Cat We must be romantics at heart. I'm happy that our collabs are so well received, and we thank you for coming to hear this,:-)

	Roxylee said 63 days ago
	Thanks! We really like the conversation style and plan on doing more. Thank you for appreciating our efforts.:-)

	Roxylee said 62 days ago
	Thank you, John I love Feter's chording and playing in this, too. We are glad you came by. I am so far behind in listening to songs, but will catch up soon!

	Roxylee said 62 days ago
	Hmmm... ideas... Feter, did you see this? We might make a whole story out of this! Thank you, Paul, and I keep listening to it, too and I agree; the guitar is just right and needs nothing else. I appreciate your comments- thank you. :-)

	Roxylee said 62 days ago
	Hi, Alannah Thanks for stopping by! :-) Yes, being able to collab from across the globe is fantastic! Last night I was listening to us all singing in Jack's masterpiece collab and was thinking how special it is to be able to do this. I'm glad this song brought back good jammin living room memories for you.

	Roxylee said 62 days ago
	Thank you, Harold I'm excited that Feter has been getting to the studio to do his recordings. I'd love to be able to get mine as clean and crisp as his. Someday... Anyway, thank you for listening and appreciating our efforts. :-)

	Roxylee said 60 days ago
	Thanks, Luna It's easy to sing with such a wonderful guitar sound. Feter's playing is wonderful.:-)

	Roxylee said 58 days ago
	Wow, Ted Thank you for sharing this. It's always humbling and amazing that people all over the world could be humming our tunes. This tune caught me right away, too. I love the chords and structure that Feter created. Thank you for listening and commenting. -)

	Roxylee said 57 days ago
	Thank you! :-) for coming by to hear our collab, and we plan on doing more. (we have done other collabs, some on my page, some on Feter's). We appreciate your appreciation. :-)

	Roxylee said 33 days ago
	Hi, Bill! Thank you for listening to this collab. It's half hopeful, half tentative, and like a conversation, has give and take. Props to Feter for the song and for letting me change the words to my part. :-)
