Lost At Love

When you really love someone and thought they reciprocated but they didn't it hurts. When they break up with you you go into a depression. You cry and the more people try to help you the louder you cry.

Sometimes things just flow together easily. I finished this one in about 5 hours.

BiaB style - Milisa2 - EV.16 Folk-Rock
Tempo - 40 PBM
Bass - Ample bass - Upright
Guitar and Piano - Kontakt - Picked Nylon string guitar
Strings - EastWest Symphonic Chorus - Full Chorus
Drums - I deleted most of the drum parts and those that I kept I used for percussion from Kontakt-Indiginus - Brio Percussion Ensemble

Via my breath and wind controller I am playing the Swam Tenor sax.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario, man, that sax sounds GREAT! Very natural and ALIVE.

Ah, unrequited love...a timeless theme. You've done a great job capturing the doubt and angst that comes with the territory. Really like your harmonic development and arrangement in support of the narrative.

Just a super duper song!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

What a great take on the theme ... and to do that instrumentally is amazing.

That sax! The closest we've come to horn playing was Janice on clarinet in high school but we love a sax.
Our favorite is Lester with Billie Holiday and that was our first thought listening.

Excellent!

WOW! So much emotion in those sax lines --so well played with passion. My favorite sax is Charlie Parker and of couse Phil Woods who adopted Bird's kids. Strings/voices whatever it's called is the perfect drone for the background. I also like the stipped down percussion. Much enjoyed, Mario.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanx Floyd! Sometimes those quick and dirty songs come out the best don't they.

Thanx David. I really like the breath controller, keyboard controller, and those Swam instruments. A whole new world has opened up to me!

Thanx Janice and Bud. Janice should get a wind controller and Swam saxes. Wind controllers can have clarinet fingerings. Also thanx for that Lester Young comment!

Thanx so much for this very kind review Marty. I am making gains on the breath and keyboard controllers and those Swam instruments. I'm glad you noticed the emotion that I tried to inject into this song. My favorite sax is John Coltrane. I really like the jazz from that era!

Some very sweet sounds Mario.

That seems like a nice sax VST you have there.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Great job with your windy thingy.
You create a depressive and sad mood, very well done.
Love that!

But, real man™, don't cry, they carry on.
Or, as Dave Grohl gently puts it: "Done, done, on to the next one"
