The Walker Of The Wind

This folk song is dedicated to my good friend. The music itself has got inspiration from celtic artists, especially from a scottish band called Runrig. Once again thanks to RnAM who created beautiful vocal track that fits nicely with the mood of the song. Everything else (except the wind sample) was created by another friend of mine, Band-in-a-box smile

Lyrics:

I was born to be
afraid of tiny breeze
but you will breathe the nature
when you see the swaying trees.
I wish to follow in your tracks
wherever you may go
to join your spirit's flight
to where the strongest flurries blow.

Dangers lie ahead
for the walker of the wind
brittle life hangs by a thread
when the gust begins.
Hold on to the brimstone
stand the pain in your knee
in the storm alone
fight your way back to me.

I haven't felt the need
to be bold and proud
but you have seen volcanoes burning
climbed above the clouds.
I wish that there will come a time
with challenges to share
but I guess my part always will be
to tell you to beware.

[Chorus]

I have fought my own tornado
when I fell for you
I had to leave my haven
once that startling wind blew.
When you face your fears
you find the urge to survive
you can't calm the turmoil
but you sparkle alive.

[Chorus]

Janne,Rob & Anne-Marie

Nice inventive track - reminded me a bit of something Yes might have done once.
Excellent vocals and a different and engaging backing - with an interesting melody.
Well done.

Lovely opening on a song that has an uplifting, folky feel.
RNAM have done your lyrics proud here and the production is very well done.
Simpler than many of your songs and no less enjoyable!
btw Runrig are one of my favourite scottish bands.

Janne, this is fabulous. VERY like the style of Runrig as you say. These guys are masters at ballads and you've certainly done well with this song

Hi Janne,

Very nice music background. Good selection for the backing tracks. The piano is particularly catchy. And you can't go wrong with Rob and Anne-Marie. This is a really nice collaboration. Modern celtic with a dash of the old. Nice song and the finished product is terrific!

Thanks Robert for your very positive words smile I'm glad you enjoyed also my simpler song, although I think the melody was rhythmically bit challenging. Nice to hear there are others who like music of Runrig, I found the band at early 90's and I felt a deep connection with them immediately.

This song starts off with a capital 'Q' for Quality.

And the quality follows the song throughout.

This is exceptional material, amazing instrumentation, stunning vocals, and superb vocal backings.

This is absolutely a real winner. Maybe some of the best material ever presented on this forum.

Quality, definitely.

Nice collaboration! I think it was Peter who mentioned Yes and, yes grin , it does hint of that.

Vocals and mix are tops along with the fine arrangement.

We enjoyed the spin!

Hello, Janne

Very beautiful song!
As Robert said, simpler than many of your songs and no less enjoyable!
RnAM's vocals are surely expressing what you want to say.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
