This week song:
All I want
A love song I wrote for Anne-Marie's birthday.
Although her birthday was last year, I finally came up with the song this year
(Wiser Woman, one of our previous songs, was also written for her birthday, two years ago).
Anyway, now it's her turn to write me one because my birthday will be next week
The song features the very nice Joni Mitchell style. I immediately liked the piano playing and started to experiment with some chords.
For MIDI tracks we usually use the Forte DXI but this time I needed a piano that would sound a little bit sharper, so I decided to use the Musyng Kite light soundfont along with the BassMidi SF2 soundfont loader. Finally I rendered the MIDI tracks with the program SynthFont.
Further specifics:
Style is P_JONI.STY (Joni Mitchel piano)
MIDI Instruments: Acoustic Piano (1), Acoustic Piano (2), Synth Strings 1 (51), Standard MIDI drums
2478:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 110
1175:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100
1680:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085
Soloist: 2448 Electric Background PopDreamyBrent Ev085 (is there any other?
)
Hope you like it! Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Rob
Lyrics:
All I want
All I really want. All I really need is your caring
When you reach for me, when you say that all is fine
And though there's less that I fear, still more than enough to worry
That's when you tell me that, that's when you say to just let it go
Some days we're miles away, never close enough
We keep the days within our minds.
They're never very far
What I never knew, is what I've come to find in your presence
Learn to feel at ease with myself. Letting days go by
And much sooner than I thought, those restless days seem to vanish
I'm getting closer now to ourselves, to who I could be
Some days we're out of reach. The longing's building up
We keep the days within our hearts. They're never far apart
All I ever want. All I ever need is your loving
When you tell me that, when you say that you're doing fine
There is so much more to see, so much more to learn when we want to
When I reach for you, when I say that I'm doing fine
At times we're miles away. Never close enough
We keep the days within our minds
We're never far apart
All I want
