Long time in making, just finishing up.. Desert Crossing On my way 'cross a desert of plenty and opulence; Far away from oases of blessed emptiness; The blazing, endless dunes, And sizzling afternoons, Scorched by the heat of wealth. Straight ahead is an image of quenching luxuries Or instead should I wander the path my spirit sees? For this desert trek of life Isn't barren and parched by the heat of the sun But it's marked with Comfort and wealth and all the finest things This quest for my soul. On my way 'cross a desert of plenty and opulence Far away from oases of blessed emptiness But this desert of my life Isn't barren and parched by the heat of the sun I see a vision-- Riches and wealth, all the finest wonders So cooling! Right in front of me! It's just a mirage that can't mislead me; This desert has freed me--I'm home! ================================ Style = _SLBOSKB - Slow Bossa w/ Poll Winners RD = BossaBrushes#1, BossaLewis01 and BossaRockPerc^9 RT's = 465 Bass, 1104 Nylon Rhythm Guitar, 1773 E Piano JazzFunkMovin Solo, 1070 Trumpet Solo, Jazz Poppy MIDI from ST3 = Strings, Surdo, Tremolo Strings, Wood Block, Shaker, Piano

Love this piece of music. So cool how the backtrack and vocal had three different timings but fit so well together. Very interesting. Well done..

EXCELLENT! Your vocals and lyrics are super! Your backing tracks fit perfectly. I can hear John Pizzarelli doing this.
Two thumbs up.

Wow - you did a great job making a unique piece here. The groove is infectious, and so unique. There is a lot happening here, but it avoids sounding crowded. I'm really curious what time signature this is in! Great job, and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Thanks for comments! Regarding time sign, it’s just a 4/4..If you think about the rhythm section like a piano, then the “chords” are in the right hand, and play on the off-beats.

Musically, this is just so well written.
The chord structure gives complexity to the overall delivery.
Lyrically, this is just so catchy.
Great, great, great.

Hello, Tom
The influence of Tom Jobim is felt everywhere.
Speaking of which, your singing way is exactly like Tom Jobim.
It sounds like hearing Jobim's new song with his own vocal.
How to use each instrument is also very nice.
Strings are comfortable, too.
I would like to hear your spectacular orchestration once some day.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

This song has a nice little bop to it. It painted a very distinct image in my head. I can see a guy in a suit with his tie loose and crooked around his neck, his arms sagging at his sides and he takes this fast-long strides and just bobs along as he wanders this this opulent desert. Like he's not bothered by being there under the blazing sun, but like he's looking for something and hasn't found it yet.
Very cool tune. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember
