Hi all,
I've composed this waltz. Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/valse-hivernale

Here's an approximate translation :

A frozen winter evening on the station platform
Overwhelmed by the cold drowned in the blizzard
I can't wait for this train that doesn't come
This damn month of december is not successful
I go back
All these snowflakes got the better of me

Chorus :
This winter waltz
A southern winter
Cathedral cold
Glacial

On the face of my watch you're late
I can't go against it, no more reunions
Austere and icy this twilight month
Make me spend days alone
I go back
Looking for in the dark without going home

Wanting to follow the tracks I walk along the rail line
These tons of scrap bring me back to you
I sink into my knees yet I strive
At twilight I am not defeated
I go back
I am going to meet you for the last time

This is a return to Monsieur Fournerat's voice sounding like it's in another room.
Not too distracting but a little.
Solid arrangement and terrific melody.
Terrific voice.


Cheers

There's as much despair in the vocalist's performance as there is in the wintry lyrics.

The dry, small room ambience/sound quality of his voice lends a spontaneous feel to the track as though it was recorded for an intimate and impromptu gathering of friends in a little apartment, perhaps, which added a certain air of rough charm to the production.

An arresting, moody listening experience, it was.

I agree with the observation from Ardent.
Quite a lovely waltz.

Love the vocalists performance.

Nice moody composition, arrangement and production.

Your choice of RT/RDs and the fine vocal all add to that
melancholy feel.

Nicely done and we enjoyed it!

I agree with Ray that the placement of the vocal was a bit distracting.

But overall, a nice listen - sad and moody.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Chris,

It is a very beautiful composition full of emotion on these winter months which makes us think of the homeless so numerous in this lower world. The sober arrangement and your voice match wonderfully. Well done.

Kindly regards
Take care of yourself
