This song is not in a battle


"There rise the rain-bringing Sisters,
And they follow the Black Bull.
Whose horns hold black nothing, and light,
So heavy and old it seems full."

OK third song I've heard from krysbaker and co....know what I think?
I think you're all following the rules obediently...I also think that lyrically you've put a piece of poetry to the music....by doing so the poems story is lost to some quickly sung words and some looooong held words.....just to fit in.
The written piece has it's timing and story just like a rhythm guitar.
You could do with listening to the music if you already have a tune and write the words for it / to it.
Just my humble opinion

Nicely done though just the same. Enjoying it again.....it just sounds like different stories going on.

Stella's Song
Kings thanks for the comments.

I understand what your saying about music and story/lyric but I'm not sure I agree. You were dead on with this being a poem set to music. The poem was originally tetrameter and the poet felt that the music captured it well. I was going for a Sarah McLaughlin sort of feel to it. Anyways, I always thought what sets poetry and music apart was melisma......

harmonies in verse are are great .................
the backing is a bit plodding -----stuck on on the bass
Its a beautiful song but needs a bit of light letting in ..........
high register sounds .......to lift it

the backing is ''thick''' .........

love any trombone ......... hes a great player!!!! ''clean''

I play it too!!!

impressed - sworfish

Love the vox in this - nice harmonies.  The drums sound a little sterile to me - but that could be because I'm listening through computer speakers (labtec) and not my good monitors at home.

I could do without the horn solo - it sounds all in key and stuff but for me it took some of the emotion out of it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this actually...something I would listen to again if I were in a certain mood, so nice work!

Peace,
Brian
