Description:
Playing around in logic again. CJ sent me a poem which I used for the lyrics of this. I tried a stab at it - don't laugh too hard. I must admit the chorus sounds decent at least.
Anyone feel free to take their own stab at singing this if they wish. I also have the instrumental posted.
Ben
Lyrics:
[Lyrics by CJhoose then modified.]
Strength.
Silence.
Earliest in the morning,
when you still see twilight
flashing before the night.
yes. yes.
Day will be the night.
Night will have a meaning
but it’s not what you think.
Night will be the day.
It’s in the brightest star
and in a north wind,
the scent of warmth is evident.
In your eyes a whisper
in your throat a shining.
In all strength
there is something
In all strength
thre is weakness
In all strength
there is something
in strength
is all fragility.
no risk
no reason
therefore we carry on
yes, oh yes.
therefore we carry on
Day will be the night.
Night will have a meaning
but it’s not what you think.
Night will be the day.
It’s in the brightest star
and in a north wind,
the scent of warmth is evident.
In your eyes a whisper
in your throat a shining.
Earliest in the morning,
when you still see twilight
flashing before the night.
In your eyes a whisper
in your throat a shining.
In all strength
there is something
In all strength
thre is weakness
In all strength
there is something
in strength
is all fragility.

"this is a fun song! I hear piano! We're gonna dance, okay?"
--The Chaos Twins. (and I concur)
Cool to hear your voice, Ben. Sounds a bit like Ben Folds. Still, I think this
is crying for female vox! Dang, I wish I could sing... Where's the lyricist?
Beautiful poem. Ben, your production skills are top. [ Reply to This ]

Beautiful, Ben! Hearing your first version I knew If I'd given you more
words it wouldn't be as strong. So I'll just sit here, listen and smirk to
myself. No, not everything is perfect. But not everything *has* to be
perfect. ;)
I love the simplicity in your voice. I love the music.
In short, you did an excellent job. [ Reply to This ]
Duality! &mdash 04/18/06 - 06:54:01 PM
One of the most beautiful mysteries.
Nicely expressed. I think you captured this moment of insight very
well. [ Reply to This ]
Good start &mdash 04/18/06 - 09:08:13 PM
I really liked this, reminded me of some &mdash 04/18/06 - 09:53:40 PM
bands I saw in the UK in the 80's though I cant seem to put my finger on
an actual name.
Timing got a little goofy during the first "in strength is all fragility". Your
voice is really well framed with this music, keep it simple if you continue
to work on it.
Putting you on faves... need to keep an eye on you;) [ Reply to This ]

Is that really you, Ben? &mdash 04/22/06 - 06:12:02 PM
Great poetry in the lyrics, CJ, and Ben, I totally appreciate that you did
sing on this one. This is a song that resonates from the heart. It's quite
refreshing to actually hear your voice on your ever-lovely music. [ Reply to This ]
Way to go! &mdash 05/31/06 - 11:42:19 AM
This is lovely, Ben! I know how much guts it takes to put your first
vocal track out into the world, and you've done a very competent job
with it. Keep at it ... it will get better and better.
The song resonates with me on a deep level, touching on real
emotions. Very atmospheric and heartfelt. It's not easy to get that kind
of emotional resonance into software instruments, so it's a great credit
to you that you achieve it so well.
And CJ's lyrics are a perfect match. [ Reply to This ]
