This is a remix of a 2023 post, so thank you those on this forum who criticised some of the gains. "Venus Walks Again" (2024 remix) uses the same chords as in the original "Venus Walks" and Venus Walks V3: Venus Speeds Home", plus in all 3 each section starts at 3/4 timing and then switches to 4/4. The wordage in one of the first and last images thematically follow on from those in the original "Venus Walks" video.

Chay, this (still) sounds really nice! The time signature changes are very cool, and the lead instruments add a lot of energy over the serene (to me) backing track. Great job on the mix and getting all the players to play in their own space. Can tell you're really enjoying the exploration of this unique tune...

Ooo, I caught this walk of hers a couple times now [it's good getting those YT notifications]. I really really enjoy your videos, and the music you put them to. Brilliinat packages. You make the change in time signatures seamless. Love it all, Chay.

Thanks DC! Yes, the rhythm section is serene throughout. It's really thanks to the brilliance of BiaB that the time signature changes work so well, and also that once I have a good chord structure there are so many ways to arrange things. Though that said, I've found over and over that getting a good solo to work really does depend on the chord structure foundation. I've 2 new instrumentals in which the rhythm sections are virtually identical, but they sound totally different to each other when very different instrument samples are used; then I have a 3rd new piece in which I love the rhythm section, but despite trying over 40 different solo instruments absolutely nothing made the grade. I was only able to make it work by editing parts of samples together so that I finally ended up with 3 solos which are dynamic and not mundane. It's amazing how many hours of work go into each instrumental, often a week of way more than 8 hours a day before completion. But it's a joy to be able to do it, which again is mega-thanks to BiaB as otherwise it would be impossible.]

It's such a shame that we're in different countries and not local to each other as I'd love jam with you and compose new songs. But I'm also frustrated living where I am in a way too small retirement flat - it's even freaking haunted, which is a pain! - with only plasterboard walls separating me from an older lady neighbour, which makes doing anything live impossible. I recently bought a new Fender acoustic as I thought it would get me back into playing again, but I've not played it since it arrived as just tuning it up and discovering that I'm really out of practice I had my neighbour and her forever guests scrambling to the walls to listen, which being so audible is a real put-off as it's a distraction. The only song with my vocals on YT is this, which not being BiaB I won't post as a main post, even though others do, so as you can't read the YT blurb from here this is an edit of how it came about:
Back in 1969, aged 18, I wrote some songs for the second local band I was in as a drummer, one of which was a simple two-chorder called "Still On My Mind" which was about losing my first true love. Many years later in 1988 when playing it solo on acoustic guitar I felt it was too negatively self-indulgent and so I decided to reverse the theme and make it about my leaving a lady and then growing from it. For example "Still On My Mind" began with the lyrics, "You know you gave up all our hopes / But do you realise what you've done to me?", which I changed in the new 1988 version, retitled "Will Or My Mind", to "I know I gave up all your hopes / I didn't realise what I did to you", then I made similar changes throughout, plus I added new and positive 'chorus' lyrics. … / … [This is] an impromptu recording … which unrehearsed I played to test a new microphone. [Right at the end you can hear the whine of my previous PC's fans]. [video:youtube-small] [/video]

Thanks for your amazing responses, Floyd, Mario, Janice & Bud! The organ solo is another one in which I had to edit together 2 separate generations to get the dynamic effect I needed. I find I'm having to do that more often, particularly with guitar solos so as to not have the same phrases repeating in different instrumentals, though in this on I only needed the one generation. The harmonica solo is also a hybrid of 2 regenerations.
