The Gift Of LifeHere is my last showcase song for this year. It is about life, the most valuable gift you receive and you get it only once, so it really is worth taking care of. I made the arrangement with a 'more is more' motto in my mind, so it is filled with everything (for example 9 drum tracks, 7 choir tracks, 10 different VST instruments used), like a fully decorated Christmas tree Vocals once again by Miira, my diligent musical partner of this year. I have worked on almost 30 songs with her this year, so this year has been very productive for me. If you are interested, you can see a collection of my work from this year, samples from 37 songs (BIAB used in all of them) with videos clips I have taken recently: Music and videos of 2017 Merry Christmas to all Band-in-a-box users and PG Music RealDrums: SmoothJazzBallad Loops: 7 drum loops RealTracks: Electric Piano #2506 Electric Guitar #1597, #833 Pedal Steel #2542 MST: SynthPad #1805 (ST3) MIDI From the style SENDER.STY: Bass (Kinetic metal) Pad (Vocalise2) Piano (GPO5) PolySynth (GPO5-choir) Other MIDI: drums (Apocalypse Percussion Elements) Chimes (COMB - RT1597 converted to MIDI in Melodyne, Kinetic Metal) choir (Olympus Elements, Cantus) Santura Balinese drums Vocals: Miira Lyrics: Only once you receive the gift of life wrapped up only once you can feel the excitement of a pup you've been built with love and caring for the play to endure much longer than a toy that is shortly thrown away.
You are not a Barbie, perfection in brochures you've been handcrafted, incomplete, real but immature a brittle doll asking you to love her with all your thoughts and heart to remember to thank for the gift of cosmic art.
You arrive here without your personal guide book parents teach their own ways sad days to overlook we'll bring forth the historic message of Yule maybe we'll get some answers at the lifelong school.
The chocolate box of life contains a few tasty treats filled with happiness.
You are born to dwell in this small unfinished ark you may not get used to suffering, the cold of the dark still you can feel the warming sun, a star above the stall the green of a tree and the beauty of the sparkling life in all.
Through the telescope of life you will understand you are a crumb among the stars but unique and special.
You can now sink into the wondrous world of the book of life.------------- Janne

Loved the song Janne. The beginning almost had an India kind of influence. Good overall vibe, thank you!

THAT is really creative.
Nice use of the midi stuff.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
