Such a beautiful piece! You have a special way with music. I love the simplicity of the backing tracks—everything it needs and not a hint of the unnecessary. You literally make music sing at its best.

Simply gorgeous.

Hi Alan.

It is always great to see you smile Thank you for visiting.

When I started working on this poem and turning it into lyrics, I was amazed at how easily everything fell into place once I had the first verse organised. As mentioned in posts above a couple of times, the first verse is a reproduction Barrett Browning's original words, original meter and original rhyme scheme. In making her words into lyrics, I changed the poetic flow so that it would fit with music. With that done, I used the remainder of EBB's words to inspire me in the creation of additional lyric material. Creating this song was a very satisfying journey for me. Being guided by EBB's work took me in directions I would never have chosen by myself.

I hope that you and Di had as terrific a Christmas as possible, and I wish you everything good for 2025.
--Noel

Please let Di know that I think of her often and send healing thoughts her way.

Janice has always been a big fan of EBB’s poetry and she is looking forwarding to sharing your song with her sisters during the holidays.

You said, “Honestly, I like tinkering with Synth V's vocals. I find it fun.”
It’s great you're having fun because reading your workflow about how you created such a fine production would intimidate a lot of folks!
Including us. smile

Loved it!

J&B

Hi J&B.

Thank you heaps for taking the time to pop in, have a listen and comment. I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you. I actually thought of Janice when I wrote this. I wanted to create something that would sit comfortably with her vocals and her sense of lyric phrasing. That helped me a great deal when it came to shaping the song and putting it together smile

I hope that the two of you have had a good December. I also wish you all the very best for 2025.

Happy New Year!
--Noel

Synthesizer V Natalie's vocals also fit this song well.
The beautiful melody does not require any extra accompaniment.
It is gorgeous enough on its own.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Shigeki Adachi.

I really appreciate your visit. Thank you so much for taking time to have a listen and to pass on your thoughts. The poem is one of English Literature's classics from the 1800s, and it was just by chance that I stumbled across it. Fate must have been smiling at me that day smile I'm really enjoying using Synth V. It's quite amazing software. I think I'm finally get the hang of it.

All the very best for 2025!

I think the "masterpiece" aspect of this song comes from Elizabeth Browning Barrett. Her sonnet is the masterpiece. I'm just riding along on her talent smile Thanks for having a listen! I have a recording of me singing this but Natalie does it a 1000 times better than I can do it so, in the end, I went with her. Synth V is quite amazing once you start getting the hang of how to increase the realism.

All the very best for 2025!

Natalie has an almost male/unisex quality to her voice. I kinda liked that aspect.

Well done and the simplicity is what carries this

Thanks for taking time to have a listen and comment. I appreciate it smile

Hi Greg.

Thanks for visiting, and thanks for taking time to listen. I haven't been around so much in the last few years because getting old has kept me busy in ways I never anticipated.

To present a song with so few instruments in this way takes a lot of skill.
But then to work with an artificial voice as well.
Hats off Noel. That turned out fantastic!
Wishing you and your loved ones a great and healthy 2025
