This is the first collaboration that I have worked on, on MCS that has come to fruition. It has been an awesome experience and I've been lucky enough to work with a great group of guys. Everyone came into the project and added a special piece of themselves...the end result, a great song that I'm proud to be a part of. We've had a great time with this collaboration and we hope that you will all enjoy listening to our creation. ~ Lisa
You could not have said it better or clearer. Said with grace, truth and spoken from the heart. Thank you very much Lisa for being an inspiration to all of us through your well written lyrics and fantastic story lines.. You have been so thoughtful of others when collaborating at all times. Your Great!. What else can I say?
Thanks so much.
I would like to re-quote what I said when the project was over on the project thread.

Session Conclusion
==============
The session has been prepared and sent to Nick. He is busy but said he will do the mix. A great deal of time
has been spent in went into this song production. Once Nick has the mix ready we will assemble the proper credits to post in the proper finished songs forum.
There are a lot of folks to thanks in regards to this session. First thank you Tom for taking the starter of Lisa's lyrics and applying some music to that. Thank You Mimmo for coming along and helping Tom lay down vocals. Mimmo as I have said before you sang it with style and you made it your own. We thank you for the wonderful vocals. You have a great voice and it is perfect for this song. Of course we rapped the song tightly to complement your voice. Thank You JMan for laying down a unique groove and for the solid drumming. On top of that you laid down percussion that is just fab as well. You are without question A SUPER GREAT drummer as well as a very thoughtful individual. We cant thank you enough. Thank You Lisa for writing and inspiring all of us with great lyrics. I was and am accustomed to writing my own lyrics but you can see the results when inspiration, determination, and talents get together and inspire each other. That's the real reason we are here. The chemistry is what makes great artists and bands what they are/were. That's why we collaborate.
I am still awaiting Kelly's APE of the vocals.. Those will be sent to Nick as well. In the meanwhile I say again thank you to everyone and lets move onto the other projects...
Cheers

Now I would like to quote what Nick said on the project thread.
Nick Said
This is my mix. I think you all did a wonderful job!
Tubes - you did a great job as project manager and packaging the song for mixing.
Please download and post in the finished section. Don't forget to list the collaborators and update the ID3 tag in your mp3/wma.
Hope you enjoy it!
Nick
Nick thank you on behalf of everyone evolved in the production and recording of what is now known as the song "Cold Without You". It could have easily been entitled "One In A Million" and that is really another sub title build inside of the chorus. While there is a negative twist to the story it is really quite positive and wonderful . Really this is a very beautiful song of love and it does capture and embrace the feeling of romance rapped inside of a interesting & exiting story line.
It is evendent in your mastered final release mix Nick why so many folks want you to mix their song.
Your talents expand from the guitar and songwriting phase direct into production, engineering & producing.
It's easy to say I want some more reverb here, or this could have been like this but truly you took this session out of the mix studio and delivered it into the final listening phase ready to plug into the listeners ears.
We worked hard and we had a great staff and very talented folks in the corner of the ring. Way to go folks.
Thanks everyone. I hope you like the song and I considers Nick's mix FINALl.
Nick in the future if you ever want to ad this to any M.C CD release or any links you have my full permission to do so. Tacman7 & Lisa will have to answer for them selves in that regard. Really the three of us own the song together.
Thanks Everyone

UPDATED: 9:48 a.m. EST, January 20, 2007
I posted a Tubes final mix after getting a couple of requests saying they liked the amber of my working mix.
Did no want to give them that so I got around to doing a mix. As I said on the project thread this is not and cannot replace Nicks mix. It's a variation mix. It embraced the old time vocal idea and maked the accordian a main player in the mix. Hope you like it. It's a clean 320k mix.
See project thread ...

Update: Feb 01, 2007
Kelly sent separates of backup & harmony vocals for this song. while it is finished really I cleaned them out, got them ready and sent Nick a copy of the wave's. Hopefully Nick will be able to update his mix when he has time.
So we have to ad Kelly to the Credits Lisa.
Thank you very much Kelly for your work on this session. Much appreciated. Better late than never.
Additional Background & Harmonies vocals: Kelly Almond
