Dear Forum Friends Good to hear your recent music. I hope everyone is well and doing fine. I've been busy the last few weeks working on a new song called "We'll Remember You." We wrote the song to honor my mother who passed away last summer. It's not your typical tribute tune. Being a proud Greek-American, my mother brought her distinct culture to our home. She also loved to dance, so I wrote music she could dance to and arranged it with Greek mandolins and bouzoukis. We hope you like it. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13723090As usual, I'll post the BIAB technicals and SoundCloud link in a few days for PGM. SpaceDog

Super backtrack. Song has a familiar feel to. Like an old rock tune... Loved it. Super vocal. Maybe an "Under the Boardwalk" vibe.

Hello, SpaceDog
Great tribute!
Love bouzoukis.
It reminds me of Zorba The Greek - Sirtaki.
Greek dance comes to my eyes.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

A very fitting tribute SpaceDog, and a permanent keepsake of your Mum.
The bouzouki is a favourite instrument of mine; I bought one a while back in Crete.

Wonderful and what a cool idea to use those most appropriate RTs!
May she RIP and dance along to this.
Superb!

Rob. Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Scott. "Under the Boardwalk" had a similar bass line and rhythm. The Tango or Beguine rhythm was an integral part of the concept for this song.
Shigeki. Thanks. I listened to a lot of Greek music growing up and then studied a few iconic Greek songs while I was working on this. I'm glad I got the sound close.
Bob. Thanks for listening and taking time to comment. I like your new photo icon.
John. I'm so pleased you liked the song. The bouzouki solo is actually three midi tracks with nylon guitar and steel guitar. I tried to mimic the midi style from BIAB. I also searched online for bouzouki synths but couldn't find anything for free.
J&B. Thanks, I'm sure she would have liked it. I found two mandolin RTs that seemed to fit the style alright. Ironically, she hated playing the mandolin. Like the lyric says, she just wanted dance the Greek folk dances.
I also a bouzouki RT but it didn't make the final mix.
Thanks everyone.

I liked the personal details in the lyrics and the warm feeling of your vocals.
The bouzouki solo was a cool surprise.
A fine tribute toyour mom.

Very nice sound. I can really feel in it the Greek sound so you've reached your goalie.
Very well done.

What a wonderful tribute space dog. I love Greece. I lived in Spetses for a while. It was a blast. Beautiful--and always a soap opera. I liked the part where the feuding families in town show up to a restaurant on Saturdays, throw plates at one another, break the furniture, punch one another, then start hugging and crying and saying they really love another, all the while the Romeo and Juliet lovers from across the families are yelling and screaming. It's like West Side Story. I love Greece man. Good times!!!  Put me in coach!!

Robert, Thanks. The lyrics are all true. I hope they resonate with the listeners.
Sergio, Glad you liked it. The two cultures merged as one in our family were Greek and Italian. There was a lot of great music and food on Sunday.
Peter, Thanks for listening and commenting
David, Sounds wild. It must have been so much fun. Greeks live large and load. Those bouzoukis and mandolins really get my olive oil flowing. OPA!

This is a beautiful tribute, and a beautiful song Definitely unique for a song like this. It was a breathe of fresh air hearing the upbeat mood and positivity in the music despite the topic. It really shows the celebration of her life, and the appreciation of the memories made with her. She sounds like she meant a lot to you and others around her Very well done - thanks for sharing this one!
Cheers,
Deryk

Nice tribute....more of a "We'll remember the good times" versus a song of mourning. I'm sure she'd love it!! Instrumentation is great. Sorry for your loss...my mother is approaching the end and it is very hard to see her degenerate. Enjoyed this! Take care. Greg
