Fate Is A Woman

This time I started with an idea to combine tango and funk somehow. So I ended up with this kind of little tune. The words were born quite easily from the thought of dancing tango of life with a fatal woman.

Lyrics:

Fate's leading me and I only squeak
I dance tango to her beat.
Can't figure out those patterns of her steps
stumbling on my tangled feet.

When fate implied I blindly believed
then she smiled and changed her mind.
She said to me: gotcha and ha ha ha ha ha
her laughter was gleeful and unkind.

Fate is a woman
cunning and capricious
cruelty may be her profession
she promises, revokes
"to trust or not to trust"
that is the question.

Last night she gave me a smooch on my cheek
then at dawn she kicked my knees.
Fighting in vain, tomorrow will be sealed
not once I've had access to her keys.

Fate is a woman...

Only if fate's hand permits
finally, love will grant you a kiss
but she'll take what is hers
all the moments to miss
she'll leave you the longing for bliss.

The intention of fate baffled Hawking as well
defying any reasoning.
The secret unsolved, the meaning of her hints
in my coffin I'll be wondering.

Fate is a woman...

A nice unique sound with an interesting chord progression.
A clever composition that is quite engaging.

Peter

What a cool mashup of styles! That is a remarkable selection of RT’s and, wow, do they ever work well together.

Added to that are cool vocals, lyrics and a strong miix.

Lots of fun and a joy to listen to!

Hi Janne,

Nice song. I love the tango-feel in this track.

Well done!

Janne,
Very positive tune. Loved satirical lyrics, especially
"ha ha ha ha" part

Interesting arrangement of tango&reggae styles and instrumental solo licks.

Thank you for posting!

Misha.

A pleasant whimsical creation...
Your lyrical story & delivery adds to the cunning and capriciousness of your work...
I really like the lines...

The intention of fate
baffled Hawking as well
defying any
reasoning.

The secret unsolved,
the meaning of her hints
in my coffin I'll be
wondering.

Really cool writing...
How in the world did you come up with this great satirical thought?"
I really enjoyed the listen!

You did a really nice job on this There's some really interesting chord progressions here, and I love the groove on this. It flows very smoothly, and got my toe tapping in seconds. The vocals are top notch as well. It's nicely catchy.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey there jannesan, I admired the overall vibe on this. This is beautiful and I dig the overall timbres. Thoroughly enjoyed the piano to harmonize everything. Well done!

Hi Janne,

What wonderful musical adventure!!!

Your imagination has gone into overdrive in the creation of this work. You've mixed and matched some really diverse music genres, and it works! You kept me entertained from start to end. I also really like the melody, the lyrics and your singing... everything sits snugly together and creates a music treat.

It's two thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks Jim for your very nice and insightful comment I'm especially happy you liked that last verse, I have read that Stephen Hawking has said that the biggest mystery he couldn't solve was women, so it was quite natural to refer his thought here

Janne

Thanks David for your positive words Finland is called a tango nation, so I guess I was born with some of that minor feel in me, although I don't usually listen to tango...

Janne

Thanks Dani, I'm glad you found my tune very interesting

Janne

Fun song!! Interesting premise, with just enough humor to keep you out of trouble with the women on the forum! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Janne,

Very nice combination of tango and funk!
The melody is very tango-like.
The chord progression of "Bridge" is very good.
The short guitar solo is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Janne

Thanks Dave for your kind words, I'm glad you found some fun from the lyrics

Janne

Thanks Greg for commenting Yes, it's bit stereotypical and not totally PC, but because of humorous aspects I dared to showcase it - and I couldn't give up the great title

Janne

Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your kind comment I'm glad you enjoyed my song
