Description

Graham Henderson was a very prolific writer at SongRamp. One would have a conversation with him, and the next minute you'd find your conversation in his song. He's departed this realm - and I miss him so much, but still have his songs.
The piano is a pre-fab loop in the Logic Express Loops Browser - I sliced and diced it for my whimsical purposes.

Lyrics

SEPARATE PILLOWS
Copyright © Graham Henderson 2007 APRA

Separate pillows neither sharing space
Each with a wall and hurdles to face
Pride is riding herd on each tongue
There's nowhere to hide
When the last word has been flung

Armed with hostility
Cuttin' like a knife
Silence has stolen reason and right
There will be no goodnight tonight
Now separate pillows have been brought to the fight

Brooding and sleepless
Separate they lay
This is no way to end a day

Sorry could mend it but that’s hard to say
When pride has decided what games it will play
The seeds have been planted
Now watch the weeds grow
Til separate pillows may be all we know

oooooooo

	Anne a very reflective work. This has a nice lilt to it. Love the changes. Lyrics remind me that honesty without compassion is disguised hostility. There is no charge for that one. Least I could do to trade that for such a wonderful song. 3 part harmony in there? Check out my latest song called Afraid of the Rain w/ Davisamerica

	So sad, so true, and so beautiful I've always been in awe of your singing Anne but to hear you created this piano backing by slicing and dicing loops is really impressive (not to belittle the vocals ;-) Check out my latest song called Caledonia

SISTERS	SISTERS said 1058 days ago (July 26th, 2010)
	go right ahead and belittle the voice - i was PROUD of my slicing n dicing. tho i probably misled you - music was pretty much all there in its own - i just edited it. so nice of you to drop by - thank you, richard. Check out my latest song called UNIVERSAL SONG w Astronomusic & 24 Soloists

On this one....
I'm actually kind of awed that you could slice and dice the piano into such a natural sounding backing...

I think your phrasing and pitch on this is just perfect, Anne.... You get that 'sweet blues' thing going just right....

Sorry to hear about the tomato worms... That photo was pretty scary... Though you did seem to be channeling Xena there....

	So pure Gosh I love the sparseness of this song. Very intimate, very 'on the skin', the bluesy chords, the proximity of the vocals, the perfect control on each note sung. Sweetness. Check out my latest song called Free (remix)

	Separate Pillows Very nuanced and emotive vocal performance. Spot on in pretty much every way. Kind of a Sarah McLaughlin vibe on this with a little jazz and gospel infusion in style. Nice work here. Really enjoyed it! Check out my latest song called The Devil's Argument :P

	what lovely vocals This song, and performance, are just gorgeous. I could do without the stereo delay/echo on the vocals --I think it's a little distracting from your excellent delivery. So effective nonetheless! Check out my latest song called Till the Tap Runs Dry (album version)

I like it - I like it - I like it
The first part brought some memories of listening to Janis Ian to mind... or was it Carole King...? Anyway, this is sooo good, and could easily have been a track on either of their earlier albums… And if it was, it would have been a hit. So... what are you waiting for :)

Very nice this one. And I will 'cause of this, make a brand new playlist in itunes with macjams greatest 2010. This will be the first one to enter that list.

And that ooooooooo part at 02:10 is hot:)

Missed ya sisas!
How warm and beautiful. Your vocals are better than ever -- you're one collective voice, so intertwined. The piano sounds so great here I'm amazed you got it by "slicing and dicing" as you describe. Lovely -- which is strange, considering the too-familiar story these poignant lyrics tell. And: Thank you for the download.
