Description:
the music is a gift to char. she is a generous friend. she is "charming". this is an idea from her. she spoke of the inner child. we all have an inner child. i wanted to write a lullaby. it is slow, gentle and soft. it attempts to describe wonder and curiosity. there are many things a child sees. however, this is a view from above. it is an adult with good and bad experiences of life, looking inward. it sees the inner child. there is small regret and a hopeful wish.
char wrote words and is singing. she completes the lullaby. i created a new char with choppy and paste. i changed her pitch with curves to create harmony.
please slow down. listen to everything. see the music through the inner child.
brought to you by the numbers, 2, 4, 6, 8. it is 42 bpm. it is 6/8.

Lyrics:
Charming (Baby)Baby, Come to me
You will find how safe you'll be
In my arms I'll hold you near
For to me, you are most dear
Baby, I love you so
Baby, you just don't know
Baby, how much I care
Baby, my soul I'll bare
---- To you
Baby, you are mine
In all of this world you will find
Only few that you can trust
With your life, if you must
Baby, I love you so
Baby, baby, soon you will know
Baby, that I've got love to spare
Baby, baby, my life I'll share
Baby, with you
Baby, you are mine

We'll see whether or not this was a good experiment. Keeping my fingers crossed. Arigatou, Hakucho. :)

Char
My heart hurts. I don't know what to say. Ah, well...
ic42
it is work to create music. however, the heart must make music. feter knows this very much. the music comes from inside. char added beautiful words from the outside. it is now complete. thank you for thought and comment. 0x0

Wow! I wasn't expecting this!
Char, your voice is a perfect addition to this lullaby. It really belongs there.
I really love it!
Funny, I've had two cups of (yawn) coffee and suddenly I'm...... so..... sleeeeppppppyyyyyyy.......
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
ic42
it is unexpected for me too. char is very gracious to add such sounds to the music. i agree with your thought. it is perfect. the voice is gentle and slow. it melts into the music. char is very skillful at lyrics and singing. it is an antidote for coffee. 0x0

this is a beauty. the two of you have created a wonderful track. the music is hypnotic and char's voice and lyrics top it all off with whimsey and innocent longing ... kudos folks .... i mean it sincerely ... kudos!

char hypnotized the music into a perfect lullaby. the words have other meaning. the song means many things now. it is complete. thank you for listening and comment. it is time for a big finish soon. i will wait. 0x0
And it works well. Char, your voice has a quality that reminds me of 'the standards' from the 40s. And that is unique these days. I hope you will continue to include yourself in MJ music.
IC, your song is beautiful. The production is tops, and the added vocal effects were tasteful and effective. My compliments.
ic42
we are unusual creatures. it is a compliment for the music. much effort is made to create a "soundscape", to sound unusual, calm, interesting. it is a skill you have. i attempt this as well. char complements this music so well. it is a lullaby for the soul. thank you for a comment. 0x0
dajama
This works really well. The instrumental soundscape and the vocal complement and enrich each other really well. Char, your voice sounds really good, with a lovely kind of vibrato that adds a sense of true emotion. Can't believe you recorded this through a webcam! Just goes to show - talent will out! The lyrics are nice and light at times, and sprinkled with darker tones, like all good lullabies. The music is really good, lilting and dance-like, and soothing. Very cool. A great combination of talents. Nicely done to both of you. Peace.
ic42
char has a very nice singing voice. it was hidden behind a noisy webcam and hesitation to sing. i used a noise filter to remove noise, and boost volume on the recording. perhaps your words will remove her hesitation to sing again.
it is music from my heart. it is joyful to know that you like it. i try to use my short time to listen to music in return. it is time to listen to your music. thank you. 0x0
Moviz
dreamlike background music to this song and I love Chars Voice with that wonderful rich vibrato making an unusual combination of sound that works really well, cheers M
ic42
it is a gracious heart. char shares her voice here. moviz, you also have a great voice, and a gracious heart. thank you for listening to the lullaby. 0x0
michael2
know, for some reason when I saw this it struck me as an odd pairing. and it is, that's what makes it genius. almost reminds me of Korean pop music, slowed down and made more introspective. i love it. great job guys.
ic42
it works well, i think too. it is music slowed into a lullaby. perhaps korean pop music is too fast. they do not savor life if they move too fast. it was a surprise for char to offer to make lyrics and sing. and it fits well. i think that she savors life too. and so does michael2. your music is so skillfully invented. now i must listen to you again. 0x0

...and ic: it is a very, very good experiment...
I love experiments in sound...so much...
You've got a sweet, strong voice, Char. Hand and hand with the music. Nice collab, people...
ic42
it is good to experiment in music. it is how to learn. and so much to learn. you have learned to play guitar with grace. 0x0
I really like the vocals on this, and especially the shift from minor to major about halfway through the song.

she adds magic to it. it is fun to add singing to music. perhaps it will happen again. thank you for listening, and you have magic experimental music. 0x0
ic42
it is a nice compliment. i think to add char singing to this minor piece is a major improvement. the change in mode is good? it is a new experiment for me. thank you for the listen. 0x0

.. this came out really well ! I luv it .... beautiful ... Char .. I cannot wait until you get a mic and really start recording more and more and more .... this song is now complete! Your voice complements it perfectly!
Char
I feel badly that ic42 had to put up with my poor equipment.
I am not buying anything until I know what to get and how to use it. Totally clueless!

There's a cold, but lovely feeling to this work. Very enjoyable.
Char's voice sounds like a female Bryan Ferry almost.
Beautiful song.
Char
I listened and I got what you meant. Good ear! Your left one? Thank you from me and I'm sure ic42 appreciates your stopping by. :)
ic42
there is often a chill in ic42 world. however, char is antifreeze. she offers warmth to the lullaby. there is still a chill in the music. perhaps it is a good match? thank you for listening and thoughts. it is time to visit a new piece from you. 0x0

Char
I was inspired by ic42's music. I guess i wanted to return the favor. No one ever wrote a song for me, before. Thank you.
ic42
it is not meant to frighten, but instead to lull. perhaps it is char who is frighteningly beautiful. it is a great surprise to have her sing to my music. it is hoped that she will sing often now. she is charming. thank you for such kind comments. 0x0

I am so pleased you got the lovely Char to sing on this. She is a woman of great heart, and to hear her express herself through singing is a real treat. I get to feel closer to her through hearing this.
Thank you for writing this vehicle for our wonderful Char, Mr. ic42. And congratulations to you Char for this heartfelt track.
ic42
it is char with a big heart. she caused this music to be created. her song comes from the heart, and it goes to the heart. mr. futzpucker has a big heart as well. it is a generous compliment of the music. douzo, arigatou. thank you for such a welcome visit to a little music place. 0x0
Char
for the gift of your time in listening. It took me several times to get used to it. The words are very simple. They came easily. ic42 was gracious to let me sing on the song and to clean the bad recording of noise. I am most grateful for a chance that I never thought would come in this life. Thanks so very much.
futzpucker
May many more chances come your way. We'll all benefit...

just go away and be never heard...So thanks Char for pimping it up.
Now I can go to sleep... Good work from both of you.. I love it.. Thanks.
Char
Be safe and warm in dreams. Thanks. :)
TheReverendAG
But the minor key makes it sound not like a lullaby but a requiem.
It's good though. You need to sing more.
Char
I need to brighten up a bit. I don't know about singing more. I sure don't want to annoy you. Thanks for giving it a shot. :)
Char
Came back to listen. Finally used to hearing myself. I thought I messed it up.
Thanks, again.
ic42
it is known now. your singing is enjoyed. it is a joy to see you embrace your voice as well. it is an honour to have your singing grace my music. thank you again.

two artists are better than one. char added so much to this. it became what it wished to be. thank you for listening, and a comment. it is time to discover your music now. blindsidedpoets is an evocative name. 0x0
Char
I have been really lucky. :)
Char
I heard this correctly. I am listening through the Maudio interface. There are all these tinkly things in there that my PC sound card never picked up. At least, that part of this hardware works. Now, if I could only use the new mic. Thanks, ic42! This was a lot better than I knew. :)
ic42
so much of this music is beautiful from your singing. however, i know you do not hear that part. it is a joy to know the hardware is improved, and your listening is improved. this is good news. thank you for singing with the tinkly things. it is a hope that the new microphone will work for you soon. 0x0
