Several years ago I found a lyric by ouroboros in the lyric thread. I thought it fantastic and the melody came instantly. I came up with the music and recorded it. Alas, I was crucified for my horrible vocals and I pulled the plug.
So I approached watto (anyone seen him lately?) and asked him to do a vocal. He refused. He wanted to do a whole different version. What I'm sharing here, is what he sent me in order for me to do my part. But I thought it was so beautiful on it's own, stark and simple, that I could not come up with anything to complement it.
Hate to let it go without sharing it. Beautiful singing, excellent lyrics which just spoke the music to me.

I can see what you mean about having difficulty adding to this. Great lyrics, a great vocal performance and a lovely piano/bass accompaniment with a chorus that Mr Finn would be proud of.

Great track

Beautiful track! What a nice voice he has... and there are some Finn moves, as Tim astutely points out. Thank you for sharing this!

p.s. I always liked your voice too. You must have had an off day.

Wow!
That's beautiful.
Love it...great vocals and lyrics.
Maybe try some acoustic guitar, and a mellotron flute thing for the short break, add some violins, w/t mellotron flute for the short buildup toward the end there.

Don't forget the trance re-mix version though...

uhm yeah, ain't gonna happen.

If I could get back in touch with watto, it might work to add your suggestions.
As it is, all I have is this mp3 to work with.
My fault, as he did gently prod me to do my part.

Oy! I'm still lurking here on a daily basis, just not doing much of this stuff at the moment

Nice to hear this again, thanks mate

Incidentally, I don't remember any of your above anecdote lol. I must have been involved, though...

crikey! great to see you around!
glad I didn't embellish the story too much!

but I did send you the track and asked for your vocal; but you wanted to do something where we both contributed to the music. i'm sorry I didn't follow up on my end.

All good, mate. I have great (if somewhat vague

) memories from my KVR collaborations, and this is no exception
