The Bamboo Flute Song There were a couple of terrific songs about musical instruments posted last year - those songs plus my gardener`s affection for bamboo in all its forms inspired this.I tried to find real Shakuhachi flute recordings to loop but it didn`t quite work- the synth here comes quite close to the true sound at times. Key=D , Tempo 82, Length (m:s)=4:20 8 bar intro, 77 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 85. Repeat x1 chorus Melody has 167 notes, Melody harmony is < no harmony >(0) No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _MEADOWS.STY (Meadows Piano Pop with Brushes) RealTracks in style: 1767:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Pop16 Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 664:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SouthernRock Ev 085 (A:fpick) RealTracks in style: 665:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SouthernRock Ev 085 (B:Strum) RealTracks in song: 2328:Shakuhachi, Synth, Background NewAge Ev 110 RealDrums in style: BrushesFolk16ths: a: Brushes b: Brushes Tap percussion & nature sound loops The Bamboo Flute Song everything is music in the grove that I`m cut from the chatter of cicadas the sigh of wind my maker`s hum I don`t know why he chose me my stem leaned o`er his daughter`s grave but these words he said filled me as he carved where she once played six holes I will give you where the spirits come and go and another that`s hard to reach but those who hear that note will know to all the world she was only one blade of grass my sweet girl to me she was all the world so many have played me since I fell from his trembling hand healers and charmers took me far from the forest where his daughter danced I played `til I`m broken open marching young men to war but one song I still sound quite clear my maker breathed into my core to all the world she was only one blade of grass my sweet girl to me she was all the world © Robert Cordrey December, 2016

Very mellow. Nice mix and arrangement. I have a friend who makes flutes, I'm sure he will enjoy listening to your song. I enjoyed listening to it.

Floyd, I found this song took many revisions on the lyrics - many pages on the floor- so I`m glad you liked them. I`ve not tried the delay vocal effect before... thank goodness for presets which make such things easy! Robert

Kenny Thanks Kenny! I guess these must be si-kahdas of the English variety (those Brits- maybe they needed a word to rhyme with "armada"?) Robert
