A slow quickie, if that makes sense. It's a rather sad and slow song, but I knocked it out yesterday (hence the quickie tag). More play with the Plogue, Alter/Ego voice synthesizer. All Daisy 'whispering' variant this time. Apart from that it's a double bass, a couple of Iris 2 synth sounds, and a couple of layered voice banks from Alchemy (before it was absorbed into the Apple arsenal and made unavailable to us lowly pc users - sob). All midi, vst tinkering.
Yep, it's almost certainly too slow, too long and thoroughly depressing, but again I had fun making it. Rough edges everywhere of course. Thanks for listening, if you do.
Lyrics below, for those of you who are expecting to hope to understand what she is saying . . .
How did I know it was over?
The signs are all around.
We used to spend time with one another.
Now you pass me by without a sound.
When did you stop caring for me?
When did you get bored?
Did you not see me trying daily,
Not to be ignored?
I've packed my case ten times before,
But something kept me at your door.
I thought a spark still lived,
And time and time again decided to forgive.
My case is packed again.
This time I go, you're on yoru own.
You are dumped.
Ditched.
I'm leaving.
You don't deserve me.
Wow!
It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I expected to feel sad.
Somehow it's the opposite.
Wait. What's that?
A note where I plan to leave my own.
He's left me.
