Description
Drakonis: This started a few years ago as a sketch for a slow dark ambient piece and was almost forgotten. Recently, I found the sketch, fleshed it out it, and posted here as Ember-Rekindled. It has been a piece yearning for collaboration, and so far it has received help from some very talented Macjammers, who have taken it to heights I'd only hoped for. Here then, is another delightfully moving interpretation, by Alannah. Artwork by Eduard Schwan, inspired by Alannah's interpretation. Drawn freehand into Photoshop with my cool little Wacom tablet.
Alannah: Drakonis invited me to participate in the creation of another version of Ember Rekindled. I struggled with this project for some weeks... how can one sing all over such a beautiful piece of music allowing the original piece to retain its integrity? No matter what I sang... it detracted from the song, and I didn't want to do that. I was going to give up on the project completely when I came to the conclusion that perhaps the spoken word was softer and might add a little something to the music rather than take away from it. So - that being said - my "Alannah Haunting" version of Ember Rekindled was born.

HAUNTING
My name whispers through
The breeze of your soul
I feel it and it scares me
I know I'm on your mind
In your dreams
It’s my image that you see
Memories of lost passions
Furtive glances - secret moments
The warmth of my hand on your chest
The feel of my lips
Close to yours - haunting you
The ache of secrets not confessed
Of how you felt down deep inside
I watched you breathe while you slept
This you didn't know
You should have told me how you felt
Before you let me go
I know it now - I feel your thoughts
Hidden in your tears
I cry myself - for what was lost
Because of all our fears
Of love and trust and partnership
We should have had it all
But it collapsed - it fell apart
We didn't stop its fall
So dream your sweet dreams
Imagine me there
The taste of my perfume
The scent of my hair
Call out to me
And I will come back
Into your imagination
I will be there
My name whispers through
The breeze of your soul

I think Alannah adding the spoken word really adds great texture to this. I
think this piece really sounds quite developed. Mesmerizing
Quite a nice production I think.
