Hello everyone, This is our new song: LADY MYSTERIOUS It's our second collaboration with South African songwriter Paddy Gobel, and I'm very proud of this one. Although it may not sound like it, this definitely also is BIAB, but with a little help of two VSTI synths. The 80s synthpop style has always been one of my favorites, so is the era, both musically and lyrically. In an attempt to create the definite retro song I experimented with completely different styles, soloists and drums. The soloists used here is a Jazz (!) soloist, which works surprisingly good in the song. I doubled my vocals, slightly to get that 'thick' 80s sound. Anne-Marie's vocal contribution has a completely different angle this time, and enhances the 80s feel even more. It may remind you of songs of Laurie Anderson and the Human League. Paddy's lyrics give the song the nostalgic feeling, it needed. The video was constructed of public domain material and edited in MoviePlus X5. I hope you like it! As always: comments are welcome. Rob. Song specifics: 2273 synth rhythm disco digibell 2326 synth background jazz funk lead 1850 guitar electric rhythm pop shining gritty muted 1851 electric rhythm pop shining gritty CDiscoladies (real drums for Biab) additional VSTI on piano, guitar and strings miditracks: Ultra Analog, Z3TA+ Lyrics: oh lady mysterious
why did they give you that name
was it because of your Garbo looks
or the men you burned with your flame
oh my lady mysterious
why do you dance on your own
even in a crowded room
you still look oh so alone
can you shine a light on your past
or does a shadow remain
does he drift through your mind like your fine perfume
the love that caused so much pain
why so sad mrs mysterious
why the tear in your eye
was there someone you couldn't have
way back in those years gone by
oh my lady mysterious
why do you dance on your own
even in a crowded room
you still look oh so alone
and won't you shine a light on your past
or does the darkness remain
does he drift through your dreams like your fine perfume
the love that caused so much pain
they say you dined with princes and kings
and walked the catwalks of Rome
your face was in every magazine
a Monaco yacht you called home
but won't you shine a light on your past
or will the darkness remain
will you stay in your dreams like a fine perfume
the love that caused so much pain

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie.
You certainly captured that 80s electro-pop feel and as you say, the Human League influence is quite pronounced.
Great backing and vocals and everything fits nicely with the moving images.
Enjoyed this one.
ROG.

Hi Rob,
That must be Anne-Marie's sampled voice, haha.
well, I've always been a big fan of ABBA, so the comparison is completely fine by me!

You are a master at creating intriguing videos
with old PD clips. The lyric and vocals
are really effective. To my ears it sounds
like the arrangement took a lot of thought,
planning and execution. RnAM OWNS
this type of production. Pro sound all
the way around. You guys have both a
signature sound and a signature video
feel. Things, in my estimation, to be proud
off. Yeah, we enjoyed it.
J&B
