Twilight Time from TWILIGHT TIME

TWILIGHT TIME © 2011

Lyrics by A. Michael Storm
Music by AndysOriginalSongs

From the Musical Play TWILIGHT TIME which is the second musical play in the Stage Door Ghost Trilogy I am producing with A Michael Storm. This song is a demo version which I have sung but the song is in fact for a female playing the part of MARION.

Synopsis of the Play TWILIGHT TIME

An aging starlet, MARION RAYMOR, spends her twilight days struggling with her orphaned grand daughter who reminds her far too much of her late daughter; and, far worse, with her worthless son who never grew up emotionally and wishes her dead so that he can inherit her wealth. Both live with her in her Manhattan penthouse. Her life is further complicated by her longtime agent/manager and, as far as she knows, friend who is constantly begging her to make one last comeback and star in a one woman show on Broadway; all the while he is plundering her bank accounts to live his high life style since he no longer makes big commissions from her career.

This would be enough for anyone to deal with in later life, but this is only a small piece of the tangled puzzle which MARION'S life has become. She also receives regular visits, yes she sees them and talks with them, from three spirits from her past; the spirits of her late movie star daughter, MARY LEA, the spirit of her late first husband P.J. and beloved spirit of her late son CHARLIE, who died in a fall from the balcony of this very penthouse when only twelve years old.

Her "twilight time" is one drama after another as she deals with her grand daughter's struggle with the same inner demons which plagued her daughter, MARLEE'S mother MARY LEA. She also must cope with her growing suspicions that ALVIN her agent is stealing from her; and there is the fact that her worthless son POOLIE has grown tired of waiting to collect her wealth when she dies and has decided to help fate along by killing her; and of course there are those two spirits who never seem to let her rest or forget the short comings of her past life, her dead movie star daughter, and MARLEE'S mother, MARY LEA PAGE and her long dead first husband P.J. BELL, POOLIE'S neer-do-well father, who is still every bit the scoundrel he was in life. Her only solace is the third spirit who visits her frequently, her dead son CHARLIE, the son of the only man she ever truly loved her late husband Charles Raymor. CHARLIE has become her confessor, her strength and her protector.

In each life there are promises to keep, questions to be answered, and wishes to fulfill..... for some of us these promises, questions, and wishes live long after we have gone!

TWILIGHT TIME has twelve (12) well placed Musical Numbers to help tell the story of tangled lives and unhappy deaths. The story is told entirely in the living area of the Manhattan Penthouse of MARION RAYMOR.

Your music sounds well done, like real instruments. I was wondering if your using a synthesiser or traditional instruments. My music content is 4XDOUBLEVISION youtube channel, and 4XDOUBLEVISIONII. My youtube video JUST LIKE RUSS is comedic rap.

@ELECTIONCANADA2011 All tracks are played on my Clavinova CVP 409 and then mixed in Cubase, so yes, sythetic sounds but I think pretty realistic!! Thanks for your interest.
