Richard and Ilsa

©2016 Robert Randall Burke


Richard and Ilsa
In a cafe'
By the Seine
Frozen in flash-back
Repeating
Again and again
Champagne and laughter and love
In black and white
They'll always have Paris
Paris, The City Of Light.


Richard and Ilsa
Come from two different worlds
A tough guy from Brooklyn
And a young Norwegian girl
Life was full and they lived
Without a care
They'll always have Paris
Paris, La Ville Lumiére

Hi Bob,

I like the rhyme between "without a care" and "La ville lumiere"

You didn't list RT etc, but I'm thinking a lot of this was masterfully crafted in MIDI, based on how perfectly the parts work together. It all seems too "right" to be randomly generated.

However you did it, it's awesome!

Pat,

Thanks for the listen and kind comments. I edited and added the memo. The accordion and glockenspiel were from Dim Pro. The strings were Miroslav.


Regards,

Bob

A true delight, Robert.

Nice write, lovely production. Your best vocal (I think).

Nice accordion and glockenspiel and strings...

Really nice Bob!! This has a wonderful, whimsical, romantic quality in both the music and lyrics. You delivered the vocal perfectly and mix and arrangement are excellent!! Take care. Greg

Hi Rob,

Simply romantic, you captured that whole French essence with that delicate touch of the accordion, so essential. It just took one right there. A lovely soft whimsical vocal rounded it of beautifully.

That was so good in so many ways.

Lovely production with the GLock, Accordion, and Orchestral strings. Those instrument sounds take the listener right to some back alley Parisian cafe with candles on the tables that are stuck in old wine bottles with the wicker baskets on them. The overall word that comes to mind is "delicate"....

The melody and chords reminded me in a very fleeting way of Willy and Merle's "Seashores of Old Mexico"....

Another great song.

Bob,

This is absolutely beautiful... a stunning listen.

I loved the concept of love's being captured in the eternity of one moment of time. Framed by such a sensitive and creative backing, the poignancy of verse 2 really hit home. I would love to have heard the second verse repeated in full after the instrumental section.

Everything about this... writing, arranging, performing, mixing... is top shelf!

Regards,
Noel

"Frozen in flash-back" Very nice!

Dittos re Noel's comment "Everything about this... writing, arranging, performing, mixing... is top shelf!"

It's a beautiful write with superb imagery. So much there with so relatively few words.
Nothing left to add and nothing left to take away.

We enjoyed the listens...

Herb,

Thanks for the listen. This song came from the Paris flashback scene in Casablanca, one of my favorite films. French is where I was aiming for.

Excellent on every level. The write, mix, performance and production are spot on as has been previously noted.

Mario stated it well --- this is a keeper. A great song to follow "While the music played"

Enjoyed this from start to finish.
