The style is _SMOOTHY, and I have used also Vocal Oohs and organ realtracks. The melody is bit out my vocal range, but I tried my best This would really need more soulful vocalist anyway.

Cooling stream of sparkling joy from the vessel of your heart I could enjoy bites of kindness you were serving a la carte. It's been a long time since your last call it's hard to swallow the aftertaste, the bitter fall you don't serve me anymore you don't serve me anymore. Your stout embrace intoxicating an age-old spirit that made me strong you let me be a vulnerable uncertain man, you let me belong. please forgive if I have been heavy-handed or too loud or was I just drinking too much to be stranded and shut out? It's been a long time... I have many stories to tell but there is no one who listens to life on the rocks, living through hell like you did for years before but you don't serve me anymore. I was an actor in your play but my glass is empty now you have got what you wished from me it's my time to take a bow. Just for good and old times' sake could I get a final round? I will accept it's my last shout and then I'll leave you chances downed. It's been a long time... Your door is closed I'm out on the streets, exposed the shadows of my past on my heels an unwelcome man, that's how life feels. ----------------- Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

I haven't lost all of my marbles but there is a small hole in the bag someplace! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Thanks John for your positive feedback As a non-native English speaker, I wasn't quite sure that my lyrical intentions are easy to understand, but I'm glad you noticed my playing with words Naturally, I'm sure a native English speaker would have managed to extend the idea much further...
