You Don't Serve Me Anymore This is my entry for the Xtra style Pak 5 song contest in jazz category. The style is _SMOOTHY, and I have used also Vocal Oohs and organ realtracks. Well, this is more like a soul tune than jazz, and those great organ parts BIAB created for me are true blues. The melody is bit out of my vocal range, but I tried my best  I wish I could find a more soulful vocalist for this. Style is _SMOOTHY.STY (Smoothie Soul and Smooth Ballad) Category: Jazz RealTracks in style: 908:Bass, Electric, SmoothBallad Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 2808:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm SoulfulPop16thsMike Ev16 065 Reverb 20 RealTracks in style: 1072:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SmoothJazzBallad Ev16 065 Reverb 75 RealTracks in style: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 Reverb 120 RealDrums in style: SmoothJazzBallad^3-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Sidestick, Ride Reverb 60 RealTracks in song: 1656:Organ, Soloist Bossa Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 3064:Vocal Oohs, Rhythm Pop3-part Ev 085 Vocals: Janne S Mixed in Sonar Platinum Lyrics: You filled my mug of life with foam but happy hours are long gone you made me feel like I am home now how am I supposed to go on? Cooling stream of sparkling joy from the vessel of your heart I could enjoy bites of kindness you were serving a la carte. It's been a long time since your last call it's hard to swallow the aftertaste, the bitter fall you don't serve me anymore you don't serve me anymore. Your stout embrace intoxicating an age-old spirit that made me strong you let me be a vulnerable uncertain man, you let me belong. please forgive if I have been heavy-handed or too loud or was I just drinking too much to be stranded and shut out? It's been a long time... I have many stories to tell but there is no one who listens to life on the rocks, living through hell like you did for years before but you don't serve me anymore. I was an actor in your play but my glass is empty now you have got what you wished from me it's my time to take a bow. Just for good and old times' sake could I get a final round? I will accept it's my last shout and then I'll leave you chances downed. It's been a long time... Your door is closed I'm out on the streets, exposed the shadows of my past on my heels an unwelcome man, that's how life feels. -------------------- Janne

Janne,
Very nice. Cool chord changes throughout... I like your vocal - well recorded.
A good arrangement. A really nice mix. everything clear and in a good place. the drums sound great... the organ, too...
Enjoyed that.

A real Janne song again. We recognize the change of chords and the type of lyrics.
Your vocals are at their best in the chorus, sound great there.

Thanks Floyd, I really appreciate your kind feedback Most of those kind words should be directed to BIAB, realtracks and that Xtra style. They are so good I didn't have to do much mixing work. Janne

Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie for your kind feedback Very good to know I have a recognizable style, I have thought that I don't have one  I agree with the vocals, I use doubling in the chorus, maybe I should use it also in the verses to soften my voice. Janne

Hello, Janne
Very unique chord progression!
Your characteristics are expressed almost exactly.
The melody is a little sad.
I like the sad point of your melodies.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Good luck in the competition.
Best regards.
