Title: When Night Falls
Post by: moraamarolaloba on September 20, 2021, 06:54:00 PM
Hello everyone, I hope you are fine!

his song has given me many problems and work regarding atmospheres and rhythms and their possible combinations, in those moments I should not be very in history
Haha
But I finally got a result that I like.
I have combined my logic loops with sounds and instruments that I have created on existing synthesis with Alchemy and my keyboard and, in addition, Marcus's guitar has given him a special color so, here is this song that I think many will understand, Having passed, or strangely living moments in their lives, in which night, falling, awakens fears and other obsessions. When you are emotionally tired you want the night to bring the rest but unfortunately and for what I have lived, it is not like that, it seems that everything bad happens at night! Well, it's an exaggeration, I've lived it that way
In this tone my voice sounds more serious than normal and I like it, I do not know what you will think.
Go through here and leave your opinion.

Thanks

Mora





When night falls
fears come
and all the lights
seem few to me
to cover their shadow
to cover their shadow x2

When nght falls
memories come
When nght falls
memories come

and any sound
seems little to me
to cover their mouth
to cover their mouth

Fears
memories
they all dance together
in a steange place
with no walls
with no floor

Fears
memories
that shake hands
to torment me
to torment me

That's wonderful! Very hypnotic and strangely addictive. I love the vocal and the whole vibe. I'm glad I listened in daylight when I'm in a happy mood - I feel like I could happily be dragged into the darkness with this sound. Well done. I enjoyed that!

@moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233) - Well this is very good, hypnotic, reminds me of Yello...Your husband really enjoyed that I think, jamming on his axe, Tell me what guitar did he play? This has a lovely Tango vibe about it.

Very nice.

Lovely Eastern feel to this @moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233) .. those bell-type synth sounds are great.. and of course the guitar..

Hypnotic.. love the image of the floorless/wall-less space...

Wonderful production .. I'd expect no less!

Brava!

Wonderful guitar that immediately makes me think of Brian Ferry recordings (at the time of 'Slave to Love').   I can immediately relate to the night time theme and how tiredness invites us to dwell on things that we would wish to forget.  Great images for the video - the dancers are a great addition.  Marcus is a very good guitarist.  The notes that he chooses, have real purpose.  Lovely rhythmic background to support another hypnotic song production.

Hi Mora,

The song definitely captures a night, underground feel. Made me feel like I was wandering around a dimly lit city in and out of some interesting bars.
Has an infectious groove.
Tasteful guitar work.

Hi Mora, lots of sophisticated layers in this, all really well meshed together. There’s a very catchy rhythmic element to it, and the ‘torment me’ section is instantly memorable. The guitar really sits with the electronic instruments very well.

Very nice. I also think this is in your Top Ten! 👍

As always, you have very original and interesting songs with a mystical atmosphere.
I really love the way you work with the color transitions you use in your videos.
From 2:36 a very interesting drummer, I liked this idea with strong fast beats against the backdrop of a mesmerizing melody. It's pleasure to listen!

Your voice reminds me slightly of Eartha Kitt. The composition and production reminds me of I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango) by Grace Jones, which in my opinion is an absolute classic. Do hope you'll take all this as a compliment.

I feel the song has a very infectious beat. It invites everyone to the dance floor, which is makes for a deliciously wicked contrast against the dark and predatory theme.

If you were to dance with the devil, this would be the song to do it to.

Well done.

This is great @moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233) I love the "scratchy" percussion at the start and your choice of instruments. Some wonderfully creative synth sounds. This reminded me in some ways of Marianne Faithfull in her "Broken English" period. You keep coming up with something unique, challenging and engaging. The sigh of a real artist  :)

I think these more latin rhythms really work well for you here - the production is full of interest and the guitar is a real star.

As always, you create some fantastically original images - "dancing with no walls and no floor". And I can really hear the dancers surrounding and tormenting you... (hopefully mostly a metaphor ).

Great track (cómo no!)

Thank you very much, I am very happy to see you back.

I believe that if the human being thought in images there would be no confusion, we would all speak the same language, right?
Creating is a blank page and I love to dive into its space to bring it to life.

Stay safe
