[another edit]

Here's the vocal AND guitar solo version, I'm going to remix the whole thing to make it sound a bit better [mix-wise] but for the moment, here's the track with all [or most, of I decide to add some more instrumentation] the building blocks in place...

And here's Wopelka's current mix:

Thanks Wopie :D

:D :D :D

Here's Josephine with Dave's vocals, I love it and I think you will too. :D :D

Still need a bit of help on the mixing cos none of us can mix vocals as good as other KvR fellas, and some jazzy guitar from Gordon on the fade out would be great. :D :D


Lyrics



For every heavy stone that you throw away

There's a great white hope trying to find its way

For every floating sunray that you leave behind

There's a falling star to wish upon tonight

For every cross that you have to bear

Even though you don't know, there's always someone who cares

For every mountain that you have to climb

For every journey I'd go with you every time



Josephine, don't you leave me

don't you leave me, don't you leave me






[original post follows]:

I wrote this with the intention of putting vocals over it, but of course I realised that I couldn't do it. I suck at singing, period.

It's a very simple jazzy/pop thing, maybe someone could do it, or it'll go where unfinished songs go to die a slow and painful death. :D :D

[some may even like it as an instrumental though, but I don't think so, without a melody it's a bit directionless]

Cheers,

I can just imagine Remco singing his heart out on this :wink:

Missing a bit of low drive on this though, but that could be as I listened to this after Glassback's tune. Always loving the summery feel of your tracks :D

Thanks Dave! I wrote some lyrics for this tune, I even have a version where I sing the first verse myself in a ridiculous faux-soul baritone and then *gasp* Curtis Mayfield-esque falsetto :o :-o which I will be uploading shortly for anyone who wants to take it as a guide :shock: :lol:

The lyrics are these:

verse



For every heavy stone that you throw away

There's a great white hope trying to find its way

For every floating sunray that you leave behind

There's a shining falling star to wish upon tonight



chorus



Josephine, don't you leave me

don't you leave me

don't you leave me



[the chorus melody follows the vibraphone melody that appears during the first part of the song]

That's all of it, really, the second verse is same as the first, I just plan to play some ethereal synth to accompany the vocal in the second verse. I'm not that great with words. :D If anyone wants to write his/her own lyrics before singing on this, by all means, go ahead. I'm sure you can do better than me. :D :D

Please let me know if you're interested. :D

Hey Dave!

Please go ahead :) :D I'd love to hear what you'll do with this. :)

I'll upload the guide vocal in a while, i don't know if it's going to be of much help cos frankly it doesn't sound that good, but it may give you an idea of what I had in mind.

Thanks again man.

OK, here's the guide vocal with changed words [I hadn't written all of the verse - all 4 lines of it :lol: - at the time so it doesn't quite follow the words I wrote above] - I hope it'll give you an idea. :)

And here's the melody for the 'chorus' part, it follows the vibraphone line of the first half of the track as I have mentioned before. I just sang it to make my point. :D :lol:

If anything needs clarification [and you probably will, Dave, I can't explain things that good] - let me know... :D
