One (Audio)



This song has a simple message, kind of a reminder to myself also: small thoughtful words can be of great importance to someone and one true fan is more valuable than number of listeners or likes in the social media.

Thanks again to Miira for her great vocals. At first I thought that this song would not fit her voice, but she managed to sing so well that I don't have to look for another singer.

Lyrics:

You don't need a crowd to praise you
when you play guitar
You only need one to tell you
how important you are
you only need one to find you
among brighter stars
to show you your worth
you are her caviar.

Often I look for more favor
but I am too blind to see my own greed
one is enough for the blessing of life
I already have what I really need.

You don't have to live from the likes
of the virtual mind
you only need one whose feedback
is thoughtful and kind
you only need one who follows
the path you've designed
who's honest and real
and won't leave you behind.

[Chorus]

I still cling to the fleeting moments
those time grains in a sandglass,
I should seek the rare things
that won't go with the first tide
dissolve when decades pass
but stay by your side.

Are you the one not afraid of
throwing herself out off the safe ground?
Are you the one who wants to dive deep
knowing there's a pearl waiting to be found?

-
Janne

Hi Miira and Janne,

Very nice song with an interesting chord pattern. Miira has such a lovely voice. And yes, this song is a perfect fit for her voice. Everything works so good in this recording - the backing tracks, the chord pattern, Miira's voice - everything.

We enjoyed this very much. Best to both of you,

Alan & Di

I think Mira is perfect for it. It has sort of a Cranberries vibe. Very pleasant, very melodic, and well arranged/mixed. Excellent job with this one!! Take care. Greg

Janne,

This is very nice! Miira's voice and way of singing strongly reminds me of the female singer of the cranberries (Dolores).
Good and thorough musical arrangement.

Thanks Greg for commenting and quoting my words blush Interesting reference to Cranberries, I haven't listened to them much before, but now I'm going to. Glad to hear that you think Miira is perfect for this.

Thank you Shigeki for your kind comment smile I'm pleased you liked the chord progression and the bridge melody - I'm satisfied with it also, because it is bit unusual, but still close to my own style.
