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...

Janne,

Interesting in so many ways... The lyric, the melody, the instrumentation - a cool combination.

A really good mix.

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!

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

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

Thank you for posting!

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 smile 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!

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

Excellent lyrics, catchy tune. Loved the minor "ethnic" feel.

I enjoyed listening.

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

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
