Probably my favorite moment this morning was the fade out of your guitar on this song. Such a wonderful floating piece which can nourish any unstable soul.
Great major/minor movements and I love the little walk-up at the end of the chorus. The backing guitar (it is guitar, right?) adds the perfect touch, dreamy and somehow unreal.
Great lead keys, man is that good. I need to learn more about alternate instruments so I can create stuff like that. A lead guitar would have been too up front, even if you pushed it back with reverb it still wouldn't have been as subtle.
Amelia Strange is a Fantastic song and the word Fantastic has been chosen carefully. the way you sing this song and the way you play is with no doubt projecting the listner in a kind of fantasy and magic world. All the questions flowing from line to line reinforce a kind of big "?" stamp in our imagination :) You are doing great and always happy to listen to your originals. (I made the same comment on Myspace) :)
hi dave. for some reason you tube has not been telling me when you upload a new song? i checked and i am still subscribed to your channel. maybe it will fix itself. anyway, i've listened to this one a couple times and the melody is just so different from usual postings, that i find it hypnotic. you are a man of varied talents. well done, chuck.
The Dark Choir is pure genius, Dave. Goes so well with the song. Like the electric keys solo as well. Sounds like a Fender Rhodes? The acoustic bass is well worth donning headphones for! Loving watching the way the songs and particularly the videos are developing over time. That's a cracking video. Make sure you let me know when the next gig is!
I can't believe I missed this song,musta slipped by my radar. What was I doing? lol ;)) You're one of my favs and one of the best pure songwriters and singers Dave my bro! This song is so beautiful,one of your best ones! I love the awesome melody,very dreamy and with you playing by candlelight makes it so cool! :)) Very catchy the lyrics too! Always love your awesome guitar playing too my buddy! This is a gem! I like intrigue. ;)
This song should be in a movie or at least on the cd shelves it's that great! You gotta make some big dough off this Dave. :)) Keep em coming,you're awesome!
Every thing you do is fabulous. This is no exception and is probably right up there toward the top of your collection. Absolutely brilliant job on the lyrics too.
Hello Dave ~ You are a master craftsman ^^ Pace is beautiful. Singing eases my soul. Guitar work is so sweet and well tempered. The way your melodic acoustic guitar leads build and release adds even more. Lyrics were enchanting to listen to. All around winner. *thumbs up* and added to faves :) Mary p.s. I can't believe it's a year since I listened to your 1st song about chocolate. You've released nothing but great songs, thank you.
@marywinmusic Thank you Mary you are so kind and I thank you for your continued words of encouragement and support throughout my Utube journey, its what keeps me going. All the best
This is super, Dave, top class on every level - composition, arrangement, performance, video - it's got everything. I particularly like the way you maintain the intrigue right the way through the song, making the listener wonder whether the mystery will be resolved. Do I detect an e-bow in your accompaniment? Whatever the high-pitched instrument is, it's really effective in reinforcing the song's atmosphere.
@oldfolkiepad Thanks Paddy its called "dark choir" on my little synth that makes the high pitch sound. Yes when I started writing this one I didnt know how to end it, I did have an idea that Amelia Strange was a secret admirer and the sign was there to lure him to her but I went for the unresolved mystery instead I thought it was better if folks used their own imagination!
I have to agree with skylark, you always come up with new material..different melodies and music styles, that's Talent!!!!....This sounds devine!..:-)
So cool. I really liked the beat. Love the instrumentation and arrangement. Great storytelling. All the possibilities are so much more interesting than the truth. It's great that you leave us wondering too. Now I want to call her. I swear you're getting better song by song. The video was really well done also. I just liked everything about this post. Another great one.
Brings back memories of a couple of decent song writers from about 40 years ago. Seems to me that they sang about some gal named Eleanor something or other. Really love this song, Dave. You are a master craftsman on so many levels. Thanks. ~ Mark
Excellent writing Dave. I really loved when the backing drum pops in and starts walking with your guitar. Just beautiful. You come up with some amazing topics to write about. Super job friend.
@Roselyne18 I think you are so right Rosy most of the songs I write have got something to do with a woman right enough. Thanks for watching much appreciated
