The Voice Of Splendor

The original idea for the song was conceived three years ago, probably inspired by a bird song that was new to me at that time, but I haven't heard it in years. For a long time, I was just circling the subject, because I didn't want to ruin the song by hurrying. Finally this spring I felt that it was time to finish it. Well, I hope you'll get the mood of hearing/meeting someone special just for a short while.

There is also a bird video for the song, but its mix is older and vocals are too upfront. I hope the new one sounds more balanced, but I'm interested in hearing any kind of opinion on the mix. I used a Carole King song as the reference target for Ozone to get a folk pop feel, but maybe some other genre target would suit the song better...

I used my favorite Weina for the lead vocals. I know that I should have tweaked parameters to make her sound softer in several places, but I'm still learning...

Lyrics:
I remember the morning dew
the awe and rapture
I caught a call from you
I remember the early spring
the icicles melted
when you flew to sing
the blessing of fate
opened the door
for the sweetest voice
I had not heard before.

Singing in my garden
by the maple tree
a captivating melody was
comforting me.
Singing in the shower
on a rainy day
happiness is fleeting
but the memory stays.

I remember the tenth of June
the voice of splendor had
quietened too soon
I remember the empty roost
the genie of craving
spread its wings and loosed
I miss all your past
sweet warblings
they were feathers stroking
my sensitive strings.

Singing in my garden...

From springs to autumns I watch the trees
I whistle your tune
among the chickadees
I regret that I lost your voice
wondering if you had no other choice
I look through the leaves
at lovely lives
wish I'll be prepared
if a new chance arrives.

Some chances never come true
the headwinds or hurdles may bring down your nest
fortune can be just a short trill
I'm grateful for the time when you were my guest.
