My Love

My love is April showers, my love is winter hours,
My love is lilac on a soft summer breeze
My love is snow at midnight, my love is autumn twilight,
My love is birdsong in the tops of the trees

And when I find my love,
I’ll do anything for her
And she’ll be everything to me

My love is lazy Sundays, my love is stormy Mondays
My love’s adventure every day of the week
My love is helter-skelter, my love’s my fallout shelter
My love is silent,  no need to speak

Lovely little track Smiley String are well placed, vocals are good, lyrics are simple and flow well.
I think this is a good entry, nice one Smiley


To get a review, give some reviews. Give and take. Simples. If that's too complicated........

Soppy yes, but its a valentines competition so I think you've hit the nail on the head with this one - love the simplicity of it, i don't think it would work with lots of instrumentation, the strings at the end are just enough to lift it without overpowering. Lovely quality to the vocals  Smiley

Re: VDay Entry - My Love

Thanks for all the kind comments, sometimes simple is best - the song was well received when I played at an open mike on Sunday  Smiley
I'm very pleased with the strings, its my new Kirk Hunter Rock and Pop strings library that I managed to get at 75% off in the January sales - result!

Re: VDay Entry - My Love

Delightful. Don't be apologetic about it. There's a place for edgy and there's definitely a place for this. Good voice too.

Re: VDay Entry - My Love

perhaps soppy, but also beautiful

lovely little song
with nice strings indeed

i had a feeling there was a tiny timing issue with the high string at the end, starting just a bit to early relative to the guitar, or too abrupt (some more attack on the string there?)

and: a bridge / middle 8 could make the song more complete,i think

but well done

Re: VDay Entry - My Love


hi martin,
really like this, like a breath of air,
i know its sentimental but its lovely. you sing really well ..

this would be a number one in Ireland, no kidding,
and being London Irish and well acquainted with the misty eyed balladeering fellows, 
i enjoyed it..
not surprisd the missus isnt keen tho with you pining for the fjords so beautifully..

i thought the ending was a bit sudden
nooms


i may not believe this tomorrow...

Re: VDay Entry - My Love

Lovely mellow love song.
If you can't be soppy for Valentine's Day then when can you be?
As for originality, it's almost impossible in a love song and familiarity is not always bad.
Great vocals, guitar and strings.
There's nothing I can suggest to improve it. It's just right the way it is.

Justin
