Let's Ride This Carousel

Liner Notes
Recombined from some loose ideas collected over the last year.
Collab
This requires real lyrics. What I have carries the ambience but is essentially repetitive nonsense. If you'd like to give it a go, simply write something, post it, and tag me along - no permission needed.
These are SynthV vocals, Liam, supported by Solaria. As always, I'd prefer human vocals, so speak up if you'd like to add your voice to this.
EDIT Feb 12: Alternate versions for lyricists:
- Hummed vocals: https://on.soundcloud.com/avCoiAcR6eZBZR6sMJ
- Without vocals: https://on.soundcloud.com/c5Ad1mVFuWDb1HwkNE

Hey, you're welcome. As I wrote, no need to ask for permission. 😊 I added two alternate versions to the original post, one with hummed vocals, one without vocals.

I love it! The lyrics have the feeling of a circus showman, possibly casting spells, it has a hipnotic vibe to the delivery.

It's a captivating post. Your music talent is amazing. The singing distracts from trying to imagine lyrics to fit. A melody hum line would be easier to work with, IMO.
Thanks Andrea! Good point. I added two alternate versions, with hummed and without vocals.

I can't believe this is a machine singing. This sounds great and so YAY! but it sounds so great so YIKES! I would never have guessed so... yeesh. Good job

Fantastic vocals complete with accordian! Just beautiful, I'm ready to fly to Paris. I love the lyrics - fun and full of great imagery. Totally gorgeous!

I love the jaunty Parisean carnival music start and the nostalgic flow and feel to the music that is a perfect stage for the images and love in the lyric that you don’t call lyric - wonderful instrumentation! Love too how your vocals soar with emotion and take us on a ferris wheel of love.

I love it! I'd love to take a shot at lyrics, though I think there are good chunks already there.
