Description:
I absolutely love the desert fulte loop it is a very emotional sound.
My wife loves eastern music and I am beginning to love it too.
When we first went to Kyrgyzstan we tried to get married in a place called Osh. We were drunk and I was singing 'we're off to see the wizard' when we were hit by a car TWICE. Just like a bad movie when everything is perfect and then Wham.
Lyrics:
My wife, Kyrgyz girl
Don't ever leave me on my own
My little Eastern Girl
Don't ever leave me
Took me a lifetime to find you
Now I'm so happy arn't you
My little Kyrfyz girl
My little wife
Went to see the Wizard of Osh
But he wasn't in to us
We saw the Wizard of Osh
But BANG on the floor
BANG on the floor
Went to see the Wizard of Osh
But BANG on the floor
Not a lot left of the story
Just to say I Love You
Love Me Too
Love Me Too
Love Me Too
Love Me Too

Pavlina, I could write... &mdash 06/11/07 - 09:47:07 AM
...I could write a book (maybe I will) about our adventures in Kyrgyzstan trying to get married. It was an exciting time.
Thank you very much for commenting. Obviously only heard that loop because of the competition but fell in love with the haunting sound of it.
Thanks again

Big change... &mdash 06/11/07 - 12:22:27 PM
from your last posting! This is nuts, but groovy! I think your voice is fine, though maybe a little tiny bit low in the mix ... sounds like Mr Curtis with a bit of Jim Morrison. i tell yeah Len, the way I record vocals is this - if I can listen to the whole track without something buggin me, fine. If there's anything you don't like on the vocal, redo it, 'cause it'll bug you forever.

Nuts &mdash 06/11/07 - 02:22:47 PM
Thanks again Steve,
I know what you mean, I have a big problem with impatience (always have). I just like to get these things done quickly and move on. But, you are definitely right and I will take try to take more time in the future, maybe even try to write lyrics instead of just saying the first thing that comes into my head.
Cheers

Flippin' 'eck ... &mdash 06/13/07 - 05:37:49 PM
Well, this is the most original and unusual thing I've heard on MacJams in a loooong time.
As Steve says, it's a bit mad ... but in a good way! And I like the vocals just as they are. [ Reply to This ]
WOW... &mdash 06/14/07 - 01:15:38 AM

I have to say you got a real courage to\
explore such boundries with eastern scales
I dig the bass very much .. very nice !!

Eastern Scales? &mdash 06/14/07 - 05:30:49 AM
Thanks Feter for listening and your comments, I would love to pretend that I knew about eastern scales but just used normal chords. You have got me wondering now though, where do you find out about other scales? Off to do a search.
Thanks again
Len [ Reply to This ]
I love &mdash 06/17/07 - 06:01:54 PM
songs with an Eastern flavour. I like your vocal delivery as it is and those loops work so well. Both unusual and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

only one who sang! (so far) &mdash 07/01/07 - 05:12:08 PM
I found this loop hard to write lyrics that would work for me, so congrats for accomplishing this.
Did that really happen?? Where you two ok??
BTW love the song.
[ Reply to This ]
Yes... &mdash 07/02/07 - 11:48:54 AM
Yes it did happen, luckily we were both OK. I was very worried (understatement) at first because my wife to be was unconcious.
Thanks Karen for your comments and concern - I really liked your version too.
Cheers

Made for the Flute solo &mdash 07/02/07 - 09:58:18 AM
I can't believe how naturally the flute solo drops into this - I think I've heard that solo nine dozen times in the last two days - but I swear I'm hearing it for the first time. That's one incredible feat, let me tell you.
I have a soft spot for any song that has a surreal story behind it, as well. But for sheer freshness and energy, this is top-rate. Applause! [ Reply to This ]
Rik... &mdash 07/02/07 - 11:56:41 AM
... Very good of you to take the time to comment. I have said on many posts that this is a fascinating loop and I have enjoyed hearing it in so many different songs.
Thank you for your kind words - the story is surreal, I agree, but true.
Cheers

Hi Len &mdash 07/02/07 - 12:43:44 PM
I like this version alot, and its sweet about that fact it is about the love of your wife. The music and very good and ethnic, you have used the flute well. Probably closer to the meaning of the desert flute then most people including myself. Nice. [ Reply to This ]
Very... &mdash 07/02/07 - 01:01:58 PM
...Good of you to comment Keith, I had a lot of fun doing this one and remembering our adventures. Of to listen to yours' when I get home from work. Cheers

What a wonderfully exotic melody to set the story of a far-off place.
Love the little throat warble near the beginning.
I get the feeling there's a lot more to the story than you are relating in these lyrics. In fact, I'd like to hear some details of that distant place ... as well as more about the double car crash ... and maybe something about (physical description?) that little Kyrgyzstan girl that ended up your wife.
[ Reply to This ]
Details... &mdash 07/05/07 - 03:35:38 PM
Thanks for your comments Warren. When I write my book I will send you an advance copy. My wife's physical description is beautiful.
Kyrgyzstan is in Central Asia and is also very beautiful and where I shall retire to.
We are going back in August for a holiday and I can't wait. The people are lovely and extremely hospitable.

You should visit if you get the chance.

flavour &mdash 07/26/07 - 09:15:43 AM
Great steady beat to get sucked into.
Good loop usage.
Curious and Image inducing lyrics. I picture a fantastic place with a beautiful woman and a basket of fresh fruit.
I like fruit.

Thanks Rain &mdash 07/26/07 - 01:04:43 PM
for commenting - your image is spot on but I would include incredibly cheap vodka and smiles.
Cheers

I try to stay away from loops as much as I can these days, although I am working on something at the moment that is taking me full circle.
Appreciated.

That's not a fun story.
But it's a cool song. That violin thrill is a very unusual effect. Good find! [ Reply to This ]
