Okay, this was really just for fun. I had these lyrics from literally eons ago and I never really new what style of song would fit, so I played with a Bossa and low and behold it worked. So, I can put this to rest and move on now. I'd love to hear what you (really) think... https://soundcloud.com/divinemetime/opium-tearsStyle is _B140_GB.STY (Contemporary Med Bossa) RealTracks in style: ~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in song: ~773:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Sw 110 ('B' Only) RealTracks in style: ~467:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 Loop in Song: World\Latin - boss120a_rim_brush_kick9 drums ev8.wav Loop in Song: Percussion Loops\Loop124bpm Guiro 8ths 4 bars.wma RealDrums in style:BossaBrushes: a: Sidestick Brushes b: Sidestick, Ride In addition to main vocals with dynamics and reverb and an upper harmony, I used a 6ths harmony from the box (just lazy!). I also added another Loop: Drum n Bass\Jungle Darkcore_165_c drums ev 16. wav Opium Tears Reflected in mirrors And dreams lie her fears Relying on someone Who doesn’t have time Inspired, affected While he draws the line Swimming in oceans Sweeping away A day in the life A life in one day She’s rehearsed her outburst with nothing to defend She’s screaming and he’s held her or so she’d pretend But truth be known she’s frightened And the tears are stuck inside So she’s waiting out the force of the doubt So she can push the feelings aside Further she falls She opens her eyes She crawls Into disguise Falling away and Losing all touch Sunshine and madness It doesn’t take much If only he’d say that He felt the same He’d send her off In the sky like a flame She’s rehearsed her outburst with nothing to defend She’s screaming and he’s held her or so she’d pretend But truth be known she’s frightened And the tears are stuck inside So she’s waiting out the force of the pull So she can push the feelings aside In his embrace It's his smile she feels within her own face The Empress card is drawn It tells no lies Just like the Lovers She will learn to fly Way past the pyramid And out to the sun Her heart on fire With everything one

Beth, hmmm. Well, what do I REALLY think? I think this is weird and beautiful. Know the style is Bossa, but your melody lines take this into another genre, but not one I know. The lyrics are mysterious yet stuffed with intriguing inuendo that give the listener a sideways glance at the situation. LOVE your vocals on this (and everything else). A really enjoyable listen.
FWIW, some of the sung lyrics are different from the posted ones. For example, this verse is sung with lyrics that end as "words" and "birds" instead of "same" and "flame":
If only he’d say that
He felt the same
He’d send her off
In the sky like a flame
FWIW #2, in the 2nd sentence of your post, you may wish to substitute "knew" and "lo".

When it's done for fun you can't argue with that.
It has a nice latin feel to it

Thanks Ron. "Weird and beautiful". I'll take that. Thanks also for the lyric and spell check. That happens when I'm not paying attention.

Bonjour
Je partage les commentaires de DC Ron, c'est un peu inclassable comme style. C'est peut être le mélange bossa, d'un piano swing et d'un chant qui survole la rythmique.
C'est bien d'avoir un style original et personnel. Alors Bravo!
Laurent

Beth, I really think that this is your best to date.
Outstanding vocal and lyrics, loved those lyrics.
Great backing band and mix.
The more I get to know people the more I realize why Noah only allowed animals on the ark.
