Our first upload that is not a cover but one of the songs written by myself (lyrics below). Compared to other songs, this one unfortunately received rather weak ratings from my test audience but I couldn´t resist trying to bring to life a few of my visual ideas. Besides it was a good chance to check out the holographic features of my rather new keyboard.
This is more or less an unplugged version wheras my original recording contains drums and electric guitars in the chorus.
THE VIDEO
The video was made using Magix Video Deluxe and Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 for the batch processing of images. The latter made recording very easy because we didn´t have to pay any attention to the quality of the chroma key background. The original recordings technically look horrible with a blue screen that had wrinkles and shadows. Thanks to the processing of single images I could easily wipe out all shades of blue and didn´t have to rely on some built in chroma keying feature.
Considering that I didn´t pay much more than 100 € for the equipment (including 3 € for a blue blanket for the chroma keying and 1 € for the wooden lightsabre) I´m quite satisfied with the results.
THE SONG IDEA
Many might know the quotation "The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public". Surely true, but others might also have noticed a similar effect when facing a beautiful woman and trying to tell her that you think she IS a beautiful woman indeed and if she didn´t agree that it might be a good idea to see each other even more often etc., etc..
The lyrics are based on an event like that which I witnessed many, many years ago and which to me seems extremely funny - today. I remember that way back then I didn´t fully appreciate the comical aspects because unfortunately I played a leading role in this incident and payed much more attention to the absence of results than to comedy.
Whereas the song ends at this point to keep it sad and hopeless, in real life I managed to change my strategies with satisfying results. I´d better point this out to prevent too many letters of sympathy. ;-)
Finally I´d like to thank Alex who probably is not very happy with his violin part: I asked him to play the violin as if it was some kind of theremin sound constisting of a series of sliding notes. Being an exceptionally gifted violinist, he definitely doesn´t need to gradually approach the correct pitch like he was guessing but he usually plays all notes straight to the point of course. But personally I´m glad he agreed to play it this way which hopefully makes it sound a bit like the well-known "Simpsons alien sound" from the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes.
And finally I have to thank him for a 2nd reason of course: I don´t think it´s easy to move an unsecured lightsabre so close to the face for such a long period of time. I know, of course, that the lightsabres used in classical music are only low voltage devices (unlike the ones used in the movies). But I wouldn´t want such a thing to get in touch with my face anyway. ;-)
THE LYRICS
Hoping one day she´ll be his Juliet
Would-be Romeo walks her home
Decisive words still unsaid, the moonlit alley ahead
The end of waiting for the perfect moment
Standing close to her beneath a sea of stars
The only sound is the beat of a heart
He looks in her brilliant eyes
When to his own surprise
She hears him say...
Did you know the constellation of the great bear has a double star?
At nights like this you can tell with the naked eye!
Just an illusion of a binary ´cause Alcor´s lightyears from Mizar
That means no Tatooine sunsets in their planets´ skies
Another Juliet, another moonlit night
He takes her out to where she never has been
To show her that place above the city light
Careful planning of a worthy scenery
For this moment of truth about to change a life
Will love be bound to fly high or to die?
But drowned in those bright blue eyes
When worries and doubts arise
They hear him say...
Did you know the constellation of the great bear has a double star?
At nights like this you can tell with the naked eye!
Just an illusion of a binary ´cause Alcor´s lightyears from Mizar
That means no Tatooine sunsets in their planets´ skies
And have you noticed that the Pleiades soon will achieve their celestial climb?
Those diamonds of the winter sky at night
The image of the skies above reveals a view through space and time
Effected by the finite speed of light
