A little something knocked off over the last few hours. It's still unfinished, but I thought maybe you guys might dig it. I played the flute, and my friend and associate Mr Simon Che de Boer played the digital piano and all the production stuffs.

Oh yeah, and just for shits 'n' giggles, a few years ago, when Simon and I were flatting together in the dodgiest flat in the known universe, he and I and a bunch of other people got drunk in his room, and I recorded a story I wrote called The Tale Of Bob The Chicken.
I wish you all the very delightfullest of mornings. I, however, am far too ratarsed to stay awake.
Goodnight all.

I don't see what's there to be finished, except maybe some eq'ing on the flute. It's already in my KVR folder 
.
Why "saudade"? You know, it's a portuguese word, with no possible translation to any other language

The piano, as it is now, annoys me. There was a second piano track, not sure what happened to that. And I think I want a harmony flute and possibly some choir vocals in there as well.
The constant talking throughout the piece was an accident (Simon's usually so professional!) , but I think it kinda works...
I do know what saudade is, and the total lack of any English word for it. It's not supposed to be the name of the piece, just a reference to the effect I was aiming for.
Still can't think of a bloody title for it!

'Saudade' expresses the feeling of missing someone or something, being homesick, longing for something, etc. We can explain what it is, but it can't be expressed in a single word in any other language, afaik.

I was introduced to the word by Nick Cave in a spoken word piece called The Secret Life Of The Love Song.
It's a great word. I'm sure I don't pronounce it properly though.
