I composed this for a couple of good friends of mine who are moving from the west of Scotland to Italy very shortly. I thought the title would be perfect as their family moved to Italy last year. I decided on a 12/8 rather than modern waltz hoping it would give a better Italian flavour to it.

Style is _POPPNOS.STY (Pop Piano 12/8 Ballad )

RealTracks in style: 533:Bass, Electric, 12-8 Crystal Sw 065
RealTracks in style: 895:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopSlow12-8 Ev 060
RealTracks in song: 2650:Guitar, Electric, Background DreamyPopBalladFillsBrent Ev 085
RealTracks in song: 2879:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaSparseSlow16thsColin Ev16 060
RealDrums in style: Pop128^4-a:Sidestick Brushes , b:SideStick, HiHat


Also in the band line up so to speak, Mandoline from reason 3 and strings from East West sounds

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello, Graham

It sounds like a song of Nino Rota.
It is a very romantic melody that invites people's nostalgia
The tone of mandolin drifts well Italy, especially Sicilian mood.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Graham,

This sounds like I was listening to a commercial production for cinema. You are truly gifted on your instrument. A perfect title for the perfect song.

This has very south-European feel, Italian and Greek, lovely melancholy tune going my mind back in time to the fifties. Beautiful musical texture of accordion and mandolin, BIAB band supporting them perfectly.

I love how much you make songs inspired by or for people you know. I think it adds a really personal element to your instrumentals, and great flavour.

Thanks so much for sharing another great one!

Great job on this one, Graham smile This tune is so beautiful - it took my breathe away! It is so calming and easy to sway to. You nailed the composition on this one. It sounds fluid, and magical.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Graham,
Nice inspiration for this very pretty, slightly sad melody you`ve written for your friends.
The arrangement really takes the listener to another world. I especially like the way your accordion comes in and carries the tune.
One of your best.

Perfect Graham.

You've created a fitting tribute and captured a beautiful feel of both Scotland and Italy, all perfectly combined.
