Hola!!

I adore blackbirds, their voice has a special, inspiring magic and I came up with this song.
I think the voice is good in volume here, I'm always afraid that it's too loud...



While I listen to the voice
of the  blackbird
I look at yoiur face
wondering
why why why
it's impossible to change past

I think of a thousand things
no clear thought
stands out
from the crowd
that  stirs stirs stirs
in my mind
screaming words
that cover each others

everything could be so simple
like the games of children 
but you
have made me grave
for your dreams
and mine

we are dead and alive
under layers of time 
turned into  stones
over our heads

while I listen to the voice
of the blackbird
 singing singing singing
to the night 
to the  stars
that are still  what they are
inertia over inertia
like our life
I did not know that to live we had to die so many times

Hi @moraamarolaloba I adore the song of the Blackbird too, especially in the early morning when everything is quiet and they herald the start of a beautiful new day. This one is very hypnotic. The drum beat draws you into a trance. I think that it's another excellent song. Vocals sit just right in my opinion. Always something original and inspirational from you and Marcus. Wonderful stuff

Agreed, blackbirds are great.  We just had two blackbird chicks fledge in our tiny back garden.  My wife kept having to run out to scare the magpies away before they could eat them.  But I'm pleased to report the chicks made it, and there are now 2 more blackbirds in the world.
The track is quality Mora... for me that simple cello (?) bassline you've got going all the way through it is the star.  The skittering percussion is very nice too.  And the "Tweety tweety tweety" ending really made me smile!  Thanks for a smile.
It's all too beautiful.

What an amazing bass sound! The volume balance of the voice and this music is perfect.
Very original song with modern sound and brilliant arrangement! As always, excellent video.
You are an inspiration!

Hi Mora, I love the way you build a track, it's so simple and restrained but it delivers a punch because of that. Nothing is over played or over done. Great sounds as usual and the sparse use of the lead guitar also worked very well. Another original and interesting lyric delivered in your very own style.

Excellent Mora!

Jamie

Hola @PaulyX

I'm happy about the blackbirds!!!

Thanks for your comment, that simple cello (?) bassline
it is indeed the backbone of the subject. I started with pizzicatos but I needed a deeper and more magical sound and Marcus solved it like this, with his guitar, so I could achieve a left right game to gain realism and depth of stereo image.

Stay well

Hi @moraamarolaloba, this is definitely one of my recent favourites of yours. The bass sound was very rhythmic and deep and the sparse guitaring very effective. The whole production really pulls you in to a strange yet hypnotic world. You are a better dancer than the skeleton though! 😀

A very atmospheric piece and unusual subject matter too. Well done on this one.
