Had this melody floating around my vacant head for a few days so I thought I'd do something about it.
I picked one of the rare quiet moments today and recorded the melody
I tried a number of different styles and decided it needed a Latin feel to it.
Rather than the bolero piano I used pop solo, which had much more flow to it. Also used dreamy guitars rather than the standard latin ones. For extra depth I added full orchestra strings from reason 10.
Hope it's to your liking ?

It's lovely but I find the bossa drums a little odd in this setting.
That's just me and my headphones I fear.

Thanks David there used to be an ad on TV here years ago for cough sweets. They were called tunes.
Perfect for musicians, tunes help you breath more easily LOL

What a tune Graham! Absolutely love the production on this. It sounds lush, and really gorgeous. The layering is magnificent, and that subtle bossa groove helps the entire thing float along perfectly.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing smile

Hi Graham, what a marvelous song! The arrangement is wonderful to the ears and very soothing to hear. Great tone with the guitar and adding the piano to this is a nice touch. Well done! smile

Hi, Graham !:))


Wonderfully beautiful tune
you´ve written !
Does it sound a little Italian ?
It´s a tune that you want
to dance to on a moonlit
night with your loved one
in your arms !!! Just great !!!

Cheers
Dani

Very nice melody and production. I concur with Dani. I was thinking the same thing as I was listening--dancing with someone at some Italian locale.
