Third song in a week. Argh. Sorry - "inspiration" seems to have struck a number of times, with me, this week - and I'm curious to hear what you genuinely think of this one, so ... thank you so much for listening, for any feedback, and especially for your patience with me.
When One Loves A Rose EDIT: following your truly kind advice, I have remixed the song. Is this better? Feedback welcome - thank you!
SECOND EDIT: David Cuny very kindly re-mixed this for me, with Synthetizer V's Eleanor Forte and Kevin voices. I put this link in a separate post ... maybe I should have put this here, in the first place. Sorry. Anyway, for convenience, here it now is ... thank you, David!
THIRD EDIT: I dared to mess around with David's mix, a little, tonight ... I made a couple of changes, mainly in volume contrast. I hope you like this, and, hopefully, that David won't mind me tinkering a little more with his mix? See what you think? Thanks
P.S. I made a video for it, too - today, 29 May 2023 Hope you enjoy.
THE LYRICS:
(DUET)
And that's how it goes In this world of woes, When one softly knows That one loves a rose.
***
(MALE VOICE)
For he doesn't understand Just how much she loves him, And he doesn't understand Just how bad she wants him,
And he doesn't understand Why she's been so harsh to him, So he walks away, once more From his loved one's open door ...
By the fountain where they met He is there on odd days, Mondays, Wednesdays and the Fridays, That is where he will stay,
And on Sundays, he goes home, And he lets his eyes pour Tears, awaiting the return Of a flame that's no more.
***
(DUET)
And that's how it goes In this world of woes, When one softly knows That one loves a rose.

(FEMALE VOICE)
For she doesn't understand Just how much he loves her, And she doesn't understand Just how bad he wants her,
And she doesn't understand Why he's been so harsh to her, So she walks away, once more From her loved one's open door ...
By the fountain where they met She is there on even days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and the Saturdays, That is where she will stay,
And on Sundays, she goes home, And she lets her eyes pour Tears, awaiting the return Of a flame that's no more.
***
(DUET)
And that's how it goes In this world of woes, When one softly knows That one loves a rose.
