Music: I Weep

[Tormod]

It's been a while since I posted a music track so here goes. This is my entry for the August contest over at kvraudio.com.

 

It's a real shocker...my first only piano-based piece with (woot!) NO guitars in sight. Oh, and with my sore throat I hope the vocals are not too of-key. :hihi:

 

 

If you can't see the embedded player, find this piece and more at:

For good measure, here are the lyrics:

 

I Weep

 

Feel me. Feel this. Our lives

Are not like fish in bowls.

We love. We weep. We try

To keep the poison from our souls.

"Come here," she said, and I complied

With wings that only wanted to fly.

 

./. I weep ./.

 

She touched me with butterfly care

Pretending there was something there

To see, to hear, to touch, to sense

To fly, to kill, and then dispense

(As if there is some evidence!)

 

./. I Weep ./.

___I like it very well ;) . I like also you posted the lyrics because my hearing is too dispensed to clearly hear. You musicians amaze me. :D no wait, :hihi: :D

[Tormod]

Thanks, Turtle. We should have a whisky emotikon. I really need one now. *cough*

./. I weep ./.

 

She touched me with butterfly care

To fly, to kill, and then dispense

Touching lyrics Tormod, now I weep.

I couldn't figure out how to embed the player like you did..

Music Is a Beautiful thing. I have always wanted to learn to play Piano! You have brought a tear to my eye Tormod.

Thanks guys. I think my piece needs to be played with the volume slightly up because it sounds a bit cut-up otherwise (I am not a sound engineer...). :hihi:

 

Rocky, use our music tag, like this:

 

[ music ] url to song [ /music ] (obiously wihout the spaces inside the tags) and the embedded player shows up.

 

It's actually explained at the bottom of this page (not that I think a lot of people would find it...):

I like the melody and the lyrics are like poetry. Together, they sound very nice. :hihi:

 

;)

[Tormod]

Thanks, Guadalupe! I am working hard to learn better vocal production but if I never put anything out I'll never get any feedback either. Better to just jump into it... :hihi:

[rockytriton]

you should put your stuff on garageband.com, you can have other artists rate your stuff and you can rate other artists music as well. It's a pretty cool site, I'm on it as userid rockytriton as well.

[Tormod]

That's a good idea, rocky, thanks.

 

I usually hang out here: http://www.kvraudio.com/ - a site mostly about virtual studio technology and music production.

Tormod, when I open my poor thesaurus of 'weep',it's meant 'cry' or 'sob'. It's so terrible, I would cry, we cry beauty of infinity , beauty of mind we've tried to understand integrity of universe, our life, and the future.

 

I weep now, I'd like sing to my favourite song 'Moon River', why favourite of me, because I have deep interpretation into mystic of this song and its lyrics. Imagine moon and river when initial life started on Earth since Hadean eon 3.8-4.5 bya, He[God] was alone and silent looking moon moving and river flowing and now I am singing in front of my organ :

 

Moon River, wider than a mile,

I'm crossing you in style some day.

Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,

wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.

There's such a lot of world to see.

We're after the same rainbow's end--

waiting 'round the bend,

my huckleberry friend,

Moon River and me.................

 

I really weep........... :D ............. :hihi:

 

Kind Regards,
