I did this song for the 2017 February Album Writing Month. All music is BIAB. Vocals are me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04ilA2mz7GESong File Name: Midsummer's Night Tempo: 65 Key: C Time Sig: 4/4 BB RealBass 1827 Bass, Electric, PopModernGrooveA-B Ev16 07.WAV BB RealDrums-PopModernGrooveSync16^1-HS4,R24.WAV BB RealPiano 1839 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGrooveA-.WAV BB RealGuitar 1831 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGroove.WAV BB RealStrings 1828 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGroov.WAV RT2773 Harp, Rhythm Celtic16ths Ev16 075.WAV RT2364 Synth, ElectroFlutes, Rhythm Pop Ev 085.WAV RT1167 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBalladBrent Ev 065.WAV RT1003 Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm ClassicRockPicking.WAV RT1598 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop16thsGritty Ev16 065.WAV RT688 Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 065.WAV RT841 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladSlowGritty Ev 065.WAV MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT Seated in a fairy circle, In the trees a velvet clearing, Fire in the middle, In the woods just out of hearing, Doves are calling, Night is falling. As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT. Breathe the smoke, It makes you wise, Read the patterns In the skies, Taste the nectar, smell the flowers, In the shadows are the powers. As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT For a while, In denial, This can't be just what it seems. When the flames call out our names, Hold me tightly, floating up in dreams. Queen of Fairies entertains us, Seated here among the Seven, Satyr blows a tune of sorrow, I thought this would be like heaven. Too much smoke, Start to choke. As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT. For a while, In denial, This can't be at all just what it seems. When the flames call out our names, Hold me tightly, floating up in dreams. The Fairy Queen has run away, The Satyr packed away his flute, The Seven look as one down on me, Faces ashen, standing mute, Fireflies, I close my eyes. As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT. © Jerry Pettit, 2017

Great song. Interesting melody, and intriguing lyrics.
This might have come from early Beatles even.
Very well done, and enjoyable throughout. Presumably mixed separately in a DAW (given the number of instruments)?
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.

Yes, I export all of the tracks from RealBand into SONAR and then whittle away. I help the vocals (they need it a lot!) with Melodyne and run them through whatever Izotope Nectar preset suits my fancy that particular day.
