Sure this is just the barest of bones in terms of recording and vocals....but some day you could really add a lot to really turn this into THE most wonderful finished piece. the ultimate tribute I can give to any artist or song is to call it Weaveresque....if you follow LadyWeaver then you will understand what that means...and that i don't say that to many people... Well, i just said it to YOU! Excellent Karen.
@tubesbestmusic Thanks Tom! I love LadyWeaver. She's phenomenal. I do have a polished version of this song recorded, but it's not exactly where I'd like it to be. It still feels like it's missing something. I will probably post the new version someday. I truly appreciate you checking out some of my originals. Cheers!
I love it! Will you come and play me to sleep with this some time? I live in Denmark. By the way, it reminds me a bit of the song Not While I'm Around from the movie Sweeney Todd. Find it on Youtube. It's a part of your melody, and the general message and feeling. By the way, your painting is awesome. It's cool to show off creative projects when you have the chance. So your filming location is well chosen.
@Plafintarr Thanks for noticing the painting in the background. Most people don't. Denmark may be a bit far for me to travel, but you can put this video on repeat at night. How about that? ;)
Hi Karen, I stumbled upon you while listening to at 17 by Janis Ian. I had to listen to more and must say you have a new fan! Love your voice and your style of music. This is a great song!
Ok, I can't get this song out of my head. Do you have a CD of your original songs I can buy? You truley are wonderful and I want to listen to you not just at the computer but anywhere I want! I love the words to this song and your style but all your songs are great! Thank you!
My Lord, what talent. I have just discovered you here searching for Stay (Lisa Loeb). I have not heard all your work yet, but this one is just fantastic and it's an original to boot! So I had to stop and write you a note. I've hit replay now for the fifth time, any suggestions :) (People say I obsess :)) I think I am in love Hell, I know i am.
You continue to amaze, I hope the person you wrote this for was guided to a better place in their life. I can think of no better gift, than a song as reassuring and tranquil as this.
This music and the painting are a nice match, one draws you into the other... I can almost hear small waves lapping at the sand on an empty beach. :o)
Yesterday favorited, today subscribed. Looking forward to checking out more of your other works.
Beautiful. I like how the second half of the verse (during the G part) you only complete lines rather than start new ones. The minimalistic lyric approach makes it easier to appreciate the sweet guitar melody.
The F creates a nice dissonant feel and I like how the lyrics during those parts introduce a negative element (storm, monster) and then resolve both lyrically and melodically back into the verse.
You know more about what's going on musically with this song than I do! lol :) I'm glad you appreciate the little details. Thank you so much for listening!
Wow! I'm enthralled to say the least. You have a terrific voice! Deep and rich like Karen Carpenter kind of voice. Your command of dynamics is masterful too. I'm looking forward to getting through your repertoire.
tks for yr nice reply, being occupied by listening to yr song, i forgot to mention something about yr painting.Its been said before, but as far as i can judge from the vid it looks nice. U should do that more often. I know its hard work, but as U know, so is making music.
Wow! A beautiful original song. A true lullaby and a wonderful gift to the friend you wrote it for. Excellent songwriting and such a pretty voice all packaged into a very pretty lady! Love the painting too!
Do it! I'm glad the one you've done is hanging somewhere (I have a thing for thunderstorms. Cheers for the subscription. Now I have to post more songs :)
Wow, thanks! This is tuned to DADEBE (I think). I just play around until I hear something I like. I'm always open to any other suggestions/collabs to make it better...
wow, this one really blew me away! pure art! :) I absolutely want to hear more of your orignal songs, especially after this one. so from now on I'm one of your subscribers :) thank you once again for posting this.
I like that painting in the background. Sweet. I like your picking style. You'll have to teach me. All in all, a good song, Karen. Thoroughly enjoyable. I like the monster's gone part musically and lyrically.
I love that.
