This has been interesting. Stef's recitation seemed so tenuous, her opinion of the over-all works so unassuming, then you came along and put it to exactly the sort of music to which it was the most adaptable. I just can't imagine it being done as any other sort of arrangement but accoustic guitar and voice. A minimalist poem, fully fleshed out through minimal application of technology.
That'd be nice! Collabs are great, but there needs to be that special spark of creativity in one that ignites something in the other. For me, it's rare.
I have a BIG harmony song coming your way soon! I wanted to get this song to be a real spur of the moment thing. Besides, I couldn't find a nice sounding harmony for this one...... lol
Great Stephanie and Peri collab! With such a fabulous poetess and a super songmeister how could it be otherwise. Love the melody and your voice is extra appealing on this one, 5 stars!
It is unfair to be able to play an instrument and have a good voice such as yours, peri. Purchase a terrible sounding guitar immediately, please. Or maybe you can just distort the sound? A few scratches and hisses should surfice.
Like your treatment of the lyrics here. Would be interesting to juxtapose what Will would interpret them to. Kind of like me and Ken interpreting a piece of Will's over on LiveVido, only opposite.
Well I'm just plain giddy now! Thanks so much for this. I loved it. I kind of felt like there was a song buried in there somewhere when I wrote it... just didn't know how to go about teasing it out.
Well, I gave it a shot! The words really managed to capture the place I am at right now. This is the FIRST time I ever used anyone else's words. The moment I saw them (even before you read them) Basement Peri had me reaching for the guitar. Thanks so much!
good job..you have it in you
