Description:
The backing music to this rendition was created by Mr. Mysterious. I was unable to determine whether this oldie was a public domain song or not ... and was unable to find any difinitive results .... but I wanted to post it so badly ... Mr. Mysterious gave me permission to use his beautiful rendition of the tune and I added my vocal to it .... so I post it not knowing whether or not I may be asked to remove it. All comments are so greatly appreciated and desired.
Lyrics:
Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind
CHORUS
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself!
Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
CHORUS
Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind (4 times)

... truly ... you honour me way too much .... although I accept the flattery (blush) .... I was so inspired by this rendition that I couldn't keep my nasty little vocal off of it .... I only hope that I do your words TRUE by truly growing and getting better ... my recording and mixing skills are still lacking that "something" .... my singing skills ... well ... I have YET to record "what I do live" .... that's all I'll say on the subject ... but THANKS SO much for dropping by my tune after having such a HUGE nigh yourself my friend ... I actually wanted to BE THERE but lacking a passport and the timing made it a little difficult for me ... but ONE DAY my friend ... ONE DAY .... [ Reply to This ]

... actually I first heard this tune by (Mr. Mysterious) which he created for another singer. But I was so MOVED and inspired by the piece that I BEGGED Him to send me the instrumental and allow me to sing on it ... which he graciously did .... for this I am grateful because I LUV this song to death ! Thank you for your gracious comments. [ Reply to This ]
Wild is the Wind &mdash 03/08/08 - 01:29:51 AM
"Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiompkin and Ned Washington. The track was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. The song was very popular and was one of five songs nominated for an Academy Award; it was sung by Johnny Mathis at the March 1958 Oscar presentations. It was later covered by Nina Simone on the album Wild Is The Wind (1966). David Bowie recorded a version of it in 1976 for his album Station to Station. Bowie was an admirer of Simone%u2019s style, and after meeting her in Los Angeles was inspired to record the song for his album.

something to be proud of. Your great vocal performance fits perfectly into this haunting soundtrack. Oddly enough I have never heard this song before, that I can remember. I can't imagine it being done any better than this.
Excellent [ Reply to This ]

Sounds like you are singing in one of those smoke filled lounges. Your voice controls the whole tune beautifully. Mr Mysterious provides just enough backing to make the sound complete. Great stuff.

Fantastic! &mdash 03/08/08 - 11:35:21 AM
Goes on my "Favorite Love songs" playlist immediately! Since Mystified seems to have pegged it as "not public domain" I made sure to download before it goes to magnetic heaven.
You definitely have one of the best voices on the site, and there are a LOT of good ones here.
Still trying to find another tune worthy of your singing all over. [ Reply to This ]
I've said it before .... &mdash 03/08/08 - 10:27:35 PM

dang Alannah, this is so chilling that i froze like a statue listening to your fantastic vocal performance. the music bed suites you to a T. So, it's a no brainer to realize why you would be eager to work with it.
A real beauty, eh? [ Reply to This ]

I'm really unfamiliar with the oldie, but this seems to be an original take on it, you seem to own this song, such a nice recording and of course your expressive voice puts it across with a really great emotional (but under control) performance. Sounds at times like kd lang... [ Reply to This ]
I used ..... &mdash 03/08/08 - 10:35:20 PM
... to listen to a lot of KD Lang back in the day (constant craving) may have been one of my inspirations .... although my original genre of preference was rock - I am finding I am quite enjoying the "crooning" and bluesy types of tunes that I have seemed to have done more of here at MJs. Thanks for the listen and comment .... [ Reply to This ]
Alannah... &mdash 03/08/08 - 03:55:09 PM
I had the distinct privilege of being the first one to experience this magical song when you sent it to me shortly after you finished it like weeks (or is it months?) ago. I told you then that it was wonderful and your voice never sounded better. I had it in my ipod since that time, believe it or not. Glad that you have posted this for others to enjoy it as well!! Listening to it again here at Macjams just affirms my first assessment. This is your most awesome work thus far, in my opinion. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Leon .... &mdash 03/08/08 - 10:38:00 PM
I always enjoy it when you visit one of my tunes .... knowing that you are a perfectionist with the tunes that you post, any praise I receive from you is high praise indeed ! (this might be slightly different from your IPod version ... I know I tinkered with one part a few times until I felt satusfied) ..... hope to catch you in chat sometime! [ Reply to This ]

Alannah, beautious. Mellow and soulful and for me, gripping :-) The sound bed was brilliant and you vocal sounds heavenly. [ Reply to This ]
Yes .... &mdash 03/08/08 - 10:40:26 PM
.. the sound bed was truly brilliant - and I can't seem to keep myself off of those beautiful brilliant pieces of music that other MJers create .... I wish I had the ability to create my own music bed ... but alas I am satisfied to sing on the fabulous creations of those more talented than myself .... thanks for stopping by and commenting -appreciated.

Hi Alannah &mdash 03/08/08 - 08:42:45 PM
Let me say that this is just awe inspiring.
Your vocal is quality. And so perfect is the bed, I can see why you couldn't keep away from it...
Just great to here you singing in your element. That dark spooky bed is just so u.
You rule girl...you just pour it on/ you make it sound so easy.

(does this mean I'm sappy??) ... thanks Tim - I always appreciate your support and kind words! Keeps me wantin to sing another one! [ Reply to This ]
I hear... &mdash 03/08/08 - 11:06:27 PM
a lot more control in your voice. For a tune like this, that's a good thing.
Yes, this is your best so far.
Lovin the detuned moog that shows up here and there.
Nice work. [ Reply to This ]
Yes ..... &mdash 03/08/08 - 11:51:41 PM
... it's the control and the timing that I struggle with ... I just wanna belt em out ... and then it all comes out wrong .... so it's a good thing when I can find a song which forces me to test my ability to control .... and be patient a little (usually I start singing way ahead of the music) [ Reply to This ]
Wow! &mdash 03/09/08 - 04:23:19 AM
Have always loved this song - mainly through David Bowie's version - this sounds amazing Alannah. I think this is one of the best things you've done in a very long while.
You have a great set of pipes (and the backing's perfect for what you've done). I especially like hearing you in this controlled context - wonderful last note/s.
Terrific recording and mix too.
Love it!

a sensitive feel for emotion in your vocals always. Your voice IS like an instrument and you play it so well in this very emotional song.... you really do it justice and the accompaniment too is blended perfectly, regards M [ Reply to This ]

Portishead? &mdash 03/09/08 - 10:36:27 PM
Interesting and beautifully mysterious musical backdrop... and and so wonderfully sung. Definitely one of your best performances here. Although I love your over-the-top stuff, this is much more professionally controlled sounding, not in a sterile way, but in a confident strident way. Excellent. I only noticed one minor voice-overlap glitch in the edit, but it was so tiny it didn't really detract. So glad you treat us with this talent, Alannah, and special kudos to Mr. M.

control freak &mdash 03/12/08 - 12:37:17 PM
Those mandolins - they're so touchy : >
Your passionate, yet controlled singing does a superb job of bringing out the pathos of this song of longing. Your voice is a nice match for the music - I can see why you wanted to record it.
I have always thought the odd thing about this song is it flows opposite of what we think of as being wild - it is slow and controlled. But that is what heightens the tension. It is the struggle over maintaining control that makes it difficult - and yet so powerfully meaningful. You have pulled it off! [ Reply to This ]

this is an incredible vocal performance... wow Alannah... this shows such an incredible range, not just in register but emotion... the best singers are actors, and you've really convinced me hear.... you've also capture such an etherial out of body vibe... and all along there is this pent up undercurrent of passion...
stunning and compelling on several levels [ Reply to This ]
For me .... &mdash 03/13/08 - 07:19:16 PM
