Lyrics:
Heart on Trial (Music by MickD, Lyrics by Luna Trick)Along the Sienne we watch the sunlight fade
Daring to kiss by the palisades
Pull a Gitane from a faded pack
Ruby lips now drag on drag
You blew a ring to reel me in
Now I teeter on the fringe of sin
Only this morning you were a Cafe smile
And now you put my heart on trial
Left you a note by the Window sill
Crept like a thief while your body was still
What can I say? I'm a lover's lie
My head can say what my heart denies
It's always been easy
I never felt sleezy
What happened this time?
I'm a man in my prime
Search for you down the champs de l'elysee
I'm a beggar in a daze, day after day
Where can I find you? My heart is undone
Haunted by shadows, scorched by the sun
I'm a geezer in peril, a debonair bum
A zombified prince, just a part of the sum
Suave empty posture, in search of the source
I'm an enchanted dreamer enslaved to remorse
I would love you but I frittered you away
I Would cherish you, my love from yesterday
I would love you but I frittered you away
I Would cherish you, my love from yesterday
Heart on trial, heart on trial
Now you put my heart on trial!

...I think you're the first to post for 2009! Well done.
There IS a film here and the lyrics tell that story very clearly, though I wish the female vocal was easier to understand without the lyric sheet for help. The production elements are super...great mix of stereo vocals and that driving percussion track keeps everything slammin' ahead insistently. (I am a melody guy, however, and hear this piece mostly as a recitative on pretty much one note. It DOES work that way--no question. I just wonder if some variety in pitch--perhaps a tonal shift in a couple spots--might not increase the effectiveness of the whole.) This is a wonderful collaboration all around.
Peace.

Glad you enjoyed overall. I'm sorry we didn't add Ramona's lyrics in with mine... I think her part really makes the song and there is a subtle dialogue going on between us. I take your point about melody... and I could have done a better job with variance. Having said that, I think the same criticism could be made of most rock/pop songs. You would really hate EMO - where a whole song vocal contains three whiny notes sung over and over.

LunaTrick
Is what we intended. But I have to say that Mark's music and Ramona's vocal are what drove the piece!

I f this is any indication it's gonna be a good one. Excellent production (of course) - and really well written lyrics (naturally). Suberb vocals (what else?), oh yeah - real cello - what a treat. Thanks all for the collab. Happy New Year!
LunaTrick
With lots of great music from the top dawg... BUD!
