Goodnight Irene, 1933

Goodnight Irene, written by Huddie Ledbetter and John Lomax in 1933.

This song is dedicated to all the heartbroken in our world, the troubled, the restless and the outcast.
May you have peace, love and happiness!!!

Hi new friend. I am assuming you did these a while back. Simplicity is great, but I would really love to hear a bigger production including some chorus harmony, bass, and some delicate percussion.
I think Andy already mentioned the harmony part. As is is very nice and it allows your pure vocal to shine. Don’t get me wrong, this is really good stuff.
I always like when forum members tell it like they hear it with no regards to the feeling of the artist. That is how one grows. (IMHO) ha ha
I never get tired of listening to you. I am writing a new song. I will be going home after a short vacation with my daughter and back to the studio. The song is acoustic only. (to start with) I was wondering if you wanted to collab?
If you do, that would be cool. If you don’t, that would be cool also. If you are interested, I would send you the lyrics and a rough demo. I am leaning to you singing it and me doing the harmonies etc. love to get other forum folks involved etc. No biggie either way…peace and happy chords to you

Hi feaker, I would love to do an acoustic collab with you.
I do not know how to proceed with this project, and I will follow your lead.
Pls send me the lyrics and the demo so I can learn the song.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this project.

Good news you want to have a go at it. I haven’t produced it yet. I get back home tomorrow, so the process will start soon. I will most likely post the complete track first. Then one with no singing. At that point you could sing and upload your vocal here. This could be on a pm unless others would like to keep track of the process.
Also I would hope to have input on the lyrics from you or anyone for edits.

Hi again. I have a decent start of the song. I’m not too excited about it at this stage.
It starts in A…the sing notes are f# (5)g# a (people everywhere need truth) That is what I sang out loud and no idea where to go with it. Once again trying to be different
ha ha The biggest problem currently is the chorus is dragging a bit.
I’m torn between getting it much better or sending now to get some feedback?
Let me know if you want to hear it rough or more polished. Also to send a pm or place in on the forum. the best to you
I stepped away from the puter and realized i had highjacked your thread. The truth being my mind is just not right, so sorry

Hi feaker,
PM would probably be best so we do not have a super long thread.
Or, I might want to try it by using a new thread “Collab Feak’nRene”.
Watch for it.
I may add that “truth”, is truly a sad word, as it is being abused from all fronts.
Good topic though.
Pass me the lyrics and the rough.
Rene
