Description
This is a remix done with Logic Express 7. The original is on rschletty's song page.
A MacJams collaboration of Jack Miller (dadai), Richard Schletty (rschletty) and Michael Lavoie (Mr. EI Oval). Jack’s original sketch for this piece is called “Love Alters Not/Demo” – see http://www.macjams.com/song/song_profile.php?lid=3877
Note from Jack Miller: "I was inspired to put Sonnet 116 to music after hearing Richard's ‘Lovestruck Man’. The challenge is to bring the wonderful words of Shakespeare to a modern audience. As I wrote and arranged the music, I knew I wanted Richard to sing it. He brings it to life. Much thanks to him, and to Mike who provides an elegant and much needed acoustic guitar accompaniment."
Note from Richard Schletty: “It has been a pleasure working with two fine musicians without the use of loops or a metronome. This production is almost a virtual live performance because each of us did our own parts straight through from beginning to end (not necessarily in one take, though)."
Lyrics: William Shakespeare (Sonnet 116)
Music/arrangement: Jack Miller

Lyrics
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
in the overall sound production and audio unity. Way to go Richard. Your work with LE7 has increased the listening pleasure of this song.
Thanks,
Jack
