Description:
Davisamerica originally posted "Emma" back in June 2008 ... I have been haunted by this tune .... I always felt that Jack's vocals could be boosted a touch in this tune ... and while attempting to do so ... of course ... couldn't resist adding my own brand of "tinker" .... Emma has breathed a little laughter into another of Davisamerica's tunes .. which gave her a new dimension ... I can only hope that I have managed to "Bring Emma to Life" once again in this version.

Lyrics:
Emma is sleeping - But I will not wake her
Will not tell her -The things that I know
So close now - What is she dreaming
Her eyes move about - All the places she goes

My love - Emma my darling
You say - I worry you still
I think - You are mistaken
Emma - Who did you kill?

Emma in back doors - In alleys and places
I follow behind - keep her concealed

How did it happen – that she's come this far from
The Emma who loved me - Who touched and could feel?

My love - Emma my darling
You say - I worry you still
I think - You are mistaken - Emma

.... it's ok ... you can sleep

Some early morning - They're going to find you
I'll have my head turned - And you'll be gone
In the meantime - I'll follow you closely
To see you are safe - I know this is wrong

My love - Emma my darling
You say - I worry you still
I think - You are mistaken
Emma
....awake .... Emma are you awake?

Jack's song blew me away. &mdash 09/20/08 - 12:00:38 AM
Like the boost. I like the doubling and whispering. Makes it more eerie. I can see this performed by a couple of interpretive dancers on a half-lit stage. Super sexy, girl. Love it. Thanks.

Psycho Waltz &mdash 09/20/08 - 12:04:46 AM
Great vibe.. slightly haunted... with deliciously doubled vox at the apex of the piece. Love in the vacated copse... where only the shadows cling and the promise of a new day jars with the utterance of new promises. I am mistaken... I Listened, loved...and am mistaken!

Excellent &mdash 09/20/08 - 12:35:20 AM
If you guys have ever heard the band Bongwater, well, that is what this reminds me of. Hauntingly beautiful and poetic. Good job!

this &mdash 09/20/08 - 02:01:00 AM
is really great, kind of creepy in an innocent way. like a freaky little kid. i love it. you guys sound great together, and this song is just HAUNTING. really nice touches all over and the melody is really nice. there's a "band" called Peter and the Wolf that you guys should check out, kind of gothic folk with male/female vox. great job.

[ Reply to This ]
oh right ..... &mdash 09/20/08 - 02:50:02 PM
.. I had forgot about Peter and the Wolf ... I must revisit some of their stuff ... I do believe I used to listen to they way way back in the day ..... thanks for being haunted .... Emma haunts me too!

love the add ins and production flourishes. Very cool and haunting vox there. also ... did I hear Cassandra at the end there? thanks for taking this one on Alannah. Well done indeed !!

[ Reply to This ]
... right then .... &mdash 09/20/08 - 02:54:48 PM
.... you should be the one being thanked for bringing Emma to the arena .... and yes Cassandra was also there ... I`m wondering if Cassandra should be a little like Alfred Hitchcock and maybe make a little appearance in every post from now on .....

This such a fantastic piece of work.

My greatest compliment: I'm jealous.

Very cool! &mdash 09/20/08 - 08:12:55 PM
Reminds me of Leonard Cohen mashed up with Tim Burton. Like the echoes. nice!

Leonard Cohen and Tim Burton ... &mdash 09/21/08 - 02:25:32 PM
... yes .... you have captured it perfectly ..... this and all things macabre .... all that is missing perhaps is a nice little intro by Stephen King. Thanks Jim for listening and commenting.

wow!! &mdash 09/20/08 - 09:17:36 PM
this is wonderfully haunting! it has a sweeping grandeur about it, but what a dynamite combo! everything about this track gave me goosebumps!

spanish... i never noticed... well done

[ Reply to This ]
Interesting ..... &mdash 09/21/08 - 02:34:12 PM
... I never thought of a "Spanish sounding" angle .... I am always fascinated by how people hear a piece of music so different from each other and will have their own interpretation of it .... I will have to try and listen again to see if I can hear what you heard ...

it is a shadow &mdash 09/26/08 - 11:21:37 PM
the first emma is good. this is also good. alannah adds a voice concealed behind davisamerica. it is a very good effect. this makes emma real. it is a strong chill on the neck. i do not wish to meet emma. it is a powerful song of twists. it is well done. 0x0

Thanks IC42 .... &mdash 09/26/08 - 11:29:46 PM
.. I am also reminded of the story of Madame (Emma) Bovary .... written by the French author Gustave Flaubert - are you familiar with the work? Madame (Emma) Bovary also has many adulterous secrets .. and her husband Charles Bovary follows closely behind her wanting to know her secrets .....
