Description:
Piano, vocals and some orchestral embellishments. And yes... after 10 years i bought myself a new tenor saxophone.
Thanks for the listen.
- Walter
Lyrics:
She dances while he’s watching her
All movements seem to him
That she’s divine, untouchable
Made of glass and breakable
She’s turning round and round again
And pulls him closer to
The boundary of lunacy
Loosing all up his dignity
Shades against the light that come alive
To make a private painting
Unexposed to public gazing
While foot by foot she’s coming near
She looks him straight into
The eyes that stare persistently
Showing vulnerability
When shivering fingers touch her skin
She smiles more honestly
Than prophesied by tendency
Improvised conspiracy
Sounds that fill the room and glue the glass
Which hit the ground in slivers
Lust and life, contagious quivers
Anguished hearts and broken lies
Will fade away by the light of day
Blue-ish dancer, through the night
Will fly away, we’ll fly away
Unclothed flesh, uncoated core
Dictating singles to be
Sinners whispering secretly
Soothing words of mystery
They’re turning round and round again
While moving closer to
The border of insanity
Loosing all their dignity
Shades against the light that come alive
To make a private painting
Unexposed to public gazing
Anguished hearts and broken lies
Will fade away by the light of day
Blue-ish dancer, through the night
Will fly away, we’ll fly away
Hardware:
same old stuff + cheap tenor sax i bought on eBay :-)

Great job.. Love it.. The tenor sax sounds fine.
Most guitars I use are cheap, and I great sound out of them.
Great song ..faved!! [ Reply to This ]
thanks steve... &mdash 04/28/07 - 08:37:26 AM
Sure, instruments don't necesseraly need to be expensive to sound great. At least for an amateur like me, that baby sounds pretty enough. Thanks for stopping by!

gorgeous film noir music, beautiful lyrics, I like the chimes that come in around when the glass breaks - great attention to detail. I'm smitten with this one.
I don't think you just create music, you really do create an entire other world with those piano chords, saxophone, and heart-breaking voice. [ Reply to This ]
creating an other world... &mdash 04/28/07 - 09:51:17 AM
...that's one hell of a compliment, Estella:-) So glad you enjoyed the entire piece. As usual, blood, sweat and tears on the lyrics, and i'm glad you could spend some time lending your 'poetic' ear before it was finalised. I do appreciate that a lot. Thanks so much again, and be sure i'm looking forward to your next song.

More Moorlandt! &mdash 04/28/07 - 08:23:28 AM
Love it. The "polytonal" piano intro is great.
Your sax may be cheap, but your sound and playing aren't!
Pro's: the sound, the atmosphere, the images,the composition
Con's; none
The lyrics also remind me of someone singing "She dances while I'm watching her" :)

merci &mdash 04/28/07 - 10:02:38 AM
jajaja... in fact it was that 7/8 sketch track you sent me that reminded me of that 'old' song we made together. And then came the memory of the lyrics I wrote at that time. I thought it fitted well:-) Euh, am I cloning myself? Damned!
Thanks stef... and the next one is our collab. For sure

where is Poirot? &mdash 04/28/07 - 08:43:28 AM
I was certain i saw a glimpse of him in here somewhere...
Wonderful sax melodies wrapped around the piano. It would do great as the soundtrack of one of Agatha Christies stories.
You're almost spoken words adds to the dark mystic overall feeling.
And did I mention the sax? You must have played some during those ten years? It sound fab Walter! [ Reply to This ]
Captain Hastings &mdash 04/28/07 - 10:10:12 AM
Aaah, monsieur Poirot. Yes, now that you mention it... i also hear that sax intro of the Poirot series. Must be my belgian blood:-)

Song with Soul &mdash 04/28/07 - 09:30:27 AM
This song makes me the same feeling like once when i listened the first time one of your songs. I just cant resist you. Wonderfull deep and touching. I love the musical buildup with all the details and its wonderfull what you play on the saxophone. The lyrics are so special like just you can write them. All in all its an authentic song on all levels, thats what i like.Defently yours. I love the soul of this song. [ Reply to This ]
when it touches you &mdash 04/28/07 - 10:14:08 AM
Perhaps i never spent more time on a song than on this one. But when you say it touches you, it sure was worth every second :-) Thanks so much tan, for your continuous support and great friendship. Wonderful.

...Walter, you are a well rounded musician, with the ability to evoke so much emotion in your songs. Your voice should be insured with Lloyds of London. The performances of instruments is superb. All the subtle nuances fit in perfectly. That sax is simply haunting!

nothing like great..sax.
great feel and an intimancy that draws one in. you do that so well.
really liked the lines "Sounds that fill the room and glue the glass
Which hit the ground in slivers Lust and life, contagious quivers" great imagery.
the sax really compliments your style. i was surprised as well. i've kicked myself in the but as well on selling instruments, who knew they would be worth so much nowadays.
Great song Walter. totally loved this one! [ Reply to This ]
just listened to your latest... &mdash 04/28/07 - 12:23:06 PM
... and was extremely charmed again. Well, after all, it wasn't such a bad move to sell my old Yamaha years ago. Just made the longing stronger. Like with great...sax :-)
Thanks for popping in again, Vic!

You like to watch? &mdash 04/28/07 - 11:46:57 AM
Walter - this is so intimate, I feel like a voyeur listening to this. The sax and piano playing are great, arrangement excellent, but this isn't the sum of it's parts -the whole mood you create here is dark, sultry, wet.
Same old stuff it surely ain't.
I'd put this up with Ghosts by Japan - it's that good, and your voice sounds so deep and strong here. I love the suddeness of the ending to - it's just .. perfect.
Really, outstanding, I look forward to playing this in dark, intimate circumstances.
Steve [ Reply to This ]
Ghosts &mdash 04/28/07 - 02:34:27 PM
Ghosts of Japan... that has always been my favourite track of them! Perhaps one the more experimental songs they made, but surely one of the most dark and intimite. It must be at least 15 years ago since i last heard that song.
Just want add that i admire your recent work so much as well, steve. That's why i'm double delighted with every visit of yours. Thanks so much!

I was alerted by MacJams and heard this great song immediately, but had no time to post.
So now:
Great lyrics, great sound, and the sax tune surrounding the song is marvellous! You have the perfect one-of-a-kind voice for this kind of music.
Thanks for sharing!

Just Great &mdash 04/28/07 - 09:38:22 PM
With "Sail On" and now this, you're really flooring me. While this has a definite early 20th century European flavor, your production and very very clever use of effects makes it absolutely contemporary. Really stunning stuff.
Are you taking requests? Do a cabaret song next! [ Reply to This ]
thank you jim! &mdash 04/29/07 - 04:56:17 AM
I'm very much charmed by the fact that you compare this song with early 20th century music, as i'm a big sucker for the music of composers like Satie, Ravel, Debussy, etc...
A cabaret song next time? Hmmm... I might consider it once... but my next song will probably be a collab with my friend stefaan. Thanks for your great support. Very very much appreciated, jim.

A delight! &mdash 04/29/07 - 05:13:12 AM
The piano intro immediately draws me in; it creates a haunting, impossible-to-ignore mood, with an edge of craziness, which is a perfect setup for the lyrics that follow. Your harmonic language is remarkably sophisticated, relative to the multitude of popular music genres, and the way you build the whole production is a model of restraint. Your voice is, as usual, one of the most expressive instruments to be found here at MacJams, and this time we get to hear your skills as a saxophonist as well! I am always hugely impressed by your music, but never more so than with this song. [ Reply to This ]
Clark... &mdash 04/29/07 - 03:06:49 PM
...what can i reply to such a posiive comment coming from someone whom i respect tremendously. Speechless indeed... It's so nice to get these compliments on the harmonies and composition from professional musicians like you. Like i might have told you before: i compose and perform only with my ears, as i don't have any clue about music theory (i can read notes, that's all, but very basically :-)
So, thanks again for honouring me with your visit and your great words, Clark. Cherished for sure.

That sax sounds great - very old sound. Another excellent set of lyrics in your inimmitable style, and the vocals are typically deep and unique. I took more norice than usual of your piano and arrangement this time - a really subtle use of simple runs and chords which is so effective. All-round fantastic post. That mic suits your voice so well.

Yes, this mic is a true jewel. Incredible quality for less than 100 euro.
Thanks so much again, Neil.

Wow, this is huge, surreal, amazingly visual, epic. Other people have posted songs on this site where they tried to capture, to varying degrees of success, this vast soundscape, you have captured so brilliantly here. There is a lovely complexity to it, all it's little variations and mysteries, I would be interested to know if you considered some note during the verses held at some quiet midclimax. This is very adventurous and wonderful. Fantastic [ Reply to This ]
Willy... &mdash 04/30/07 - 05:12:07 PM

Secret Lovers &mdash 04/30/07 - 12:24:32 PM

Bravo! [ Reply to This ]
Marc... &mdash 05/01/07 - 03:24:58 AM
I don't know how you do this, but you are ALWAYS able to point out EXACTLY what what the soul of my song is about. And you it again here... I wanted to capture the way she seduces him, and the man's excitement through the feeling of my music. That's why this saxophone is so very suited i think. It's the only instrument i can almost litterally 'sing through'.
Thanks so much again, mister sharp vision!

This is fantastic! You have such a great touch. I love the relative simplicityof the arrangement and the attention to detail that makes such powerful use of the instruments. Nothing wasted. The production is perfect. You capture your rich voice so well, crisp, close, deep. The words are thought provoking and poetic, a little mysterious. Everything is just right, massaging the ears and stirring the mind. And that sax sound great too. Very professional. A real work of art. [ Reply to This ]

Peter, you make my day with this great comment, because you know how i admire your work so much as well. I've put quite some energy in the production & balance, and i'm realy glad it seems to work for your ears (ah, i'm here to learn!). Right now i'm in a stage of remixing my previous song for the upcoming CD. So, besides the comments you already gave, please be my guest of honour to shoot any comment that could help me getting better. Enourmously appreciated.

like the third dimention, the twilight zone, another rhelm. Great sax tone and playing.
I found this at 1:46am and how appropriatly so. The sultry sexy sax sound and dark chord changes are awsome. What a cool piano holding it all together. Nice use of the orkestra sounds. they complement what you got going on and excentuate the whole experience.
what a great ride.great performance. vocaly you got such a hip voice,
it works so well with this tune.
Sad when the tune ends cause I'm waiting for one more of your interesting twists or turns...gonna download, fav and enjoy forever.

Late night is cool.
When I was a High Schooler...70-74
i would take my am/fm radio under the covers at bed time and listen to Alison Steel, "the night bird" WNEW radio NYC
This was a show that went from 10-2
and she was hip, introducing stuff that who new it would be classic
anyway your comment reminded me of the old days when the new music was found late night under cover
I'll never forget the first time I herd Who's Next!!!!
After Tommy....wow
I'm going on...sorry
This song was a great listen again,
very clever
thanks

Technically i'm not much of a sax player, but i love the instrument because of it's ability to project my emotions through it.
