[LAU] Re: [Music] Friends

Hey hey, here's a new song called Friends: https://youtu.be/kO-fozsPB_A It moves between progressive rock and power ballad, I suppose. Thematically, it's perhaps even closer to my heart, lovely modulations aside. :) And no, I never had a friend called Matilda or someone like her. I'm very glad about that. You'll find the lyrics at the end. First, here are the instruments I used: a lot of Yoshimi for the bell-like sound, the pad, the choir and the soft chord instrument heard in the beginning. LinuxSampler for the Rhodes, acoustic piano, strings and acoustic guitar, as little as there is of it, and of course the Carillon. Drumgizmo for the drums. Fluidsynth for the bass and Csound for the electric guitar. The lead sounds are analogue hardware, the Behringer Neutron and Arturia Minibrute 2S respectively. It was again recorded with Midish and Nama. Processing courtesy of - in no particular order - Caps, Invada, zita-reverb, Calf, SWH, CMT, g2verb, TAP plugins and 4-band parametric EQ. Ah, and I shouldn't forget AutoTalent. What can I say? I'm very glad it exists and with even more tweaking it would have been less obvious. And here are the lyrics, hope you enjoy it: Today, I met Matilda again. She stated: you're no more a friend of mine. When I asked the reason why, She mutely turned her back. Today, I lost my oldest friend And I don't even understand. So mad, so sad I can't believe it. Bereft, I stare into space, while I'm grievin'. As I seek the reason why, I'm swallowed by the void. Today, I lost my oldest friend And I can't understand. Today, per chance, I got the story. Her political creed made it mandatory To look askance at my way of life. Why is it us or it's them? Either for or against? Do you know? Today, we lost a thousand friends, Does any one know where it eends? Matilda, it's time that we come to our senses. We have done it before, let's be mending fences. We never were in full accord, There is no need to be... Let's break the circle of defiance and fear! This farce, it ends right here. Today, I met Matilda again. We argued and laughed all through the night. We din't part till the morning light, Two sides of a coin in accord. Today, we stood as closest friends. 'Cause now, we understand.
