Got this doodle to share. This was an experiment for me of using a midi arrangement that I have started a couple of months ago in an arranger software and completely forgot about till last week. BIAB was not very kind to me on this one and I used some unorthodox methods to marry the Midi arrangement with realtracks, but in the end, I won. I got the idea for the song from a haiku of a Japanese poet Kobayashi Issa (1763 –1828). Original translated haiku goes like this:

“O snail
Climb Mount Fuji
But slowly, slowly!”

Dear Misha,

that was a treat, cpuldn't say which 'ingredient' appealed to me most: the nice melody, the sweet lyrics, the way you sing the backing track... Very very niceall the way !!

All the best,

Stefan

Lyrics:

Little snail is waking up
grooming shell and cleaning snout
chewing on a crunchy leaf
sliding down a mossy rock
It embraces morning breeze
And delights in passing clouds.
Spreading its antennae wide
Catching radio signal.

Climb, snail, climb
Climb on the Fuji climb
But do it slowly.

Passing days in shade of ferns
Sharing news with friendly worms.
Watching busy fire ants,
Their construction never ends.
Wandering around the hood
On a single slimy foot.
Feeling happy, never blue
Winter is so distant

Climb, snail, climb
Climb on the Fuji climb
Climb, snail, climb
But do it slowly.

This is a dangerous world even for a snail
It can encounter sharp objects like broken glass or a nail
It could fall in the hands of a child
Get slammed by a heavy door
Or become a fancy dish of Escargot

Climb, snail, climb
Climb on the Fuji climb
Climb, snail, climb
But do it slowly.
