Masquerade
by @ndavies
Liner Notes
#disco #morph #sampling #strings
This is a morph of @johncrossman's "'bout love". I kept some of the lyrics (particularly some of the internal rhymes) and some of the harmony. The lyrical imagery evoked secrecy and drama, so I went for sort of a house/disco song about a masquerade.
And then, thinking I could take some melodic cues from John's song, I added samples of his vocal to harmonize(?) with mine. Maybe a better idea in theory than in practice
Here's the whole #morph3 chain @erbaer - https://fawm.org/songs/319909 @powerstars https://fawm.org/songs/323468 @lowhum - https://fawm.org/songs/325599 @johncrossman - https://fawm.org/songs/326651 @ndavies - YOU ARE HERE @bandybum - you're next, don't look back!
Lyrics
secrets written on paper folded over and over again who’s behind the mask it's a guessing game never know the name never know the name
secrets written on paper folded over and over again who’s behind the mask a guessing game never know the name never know the name
at the masquerade, novelties are delighting revel in all our little tragedies newfound passions are igniting delve into our little mysteries at the masquerade, novelties are delighting revel in all our little tragedies newfound passions are igniting delve into our little mysteries
now a different scene this cycle, this circle set by the Queen round and round we swirl round and round we swirl captured in a snowglobe lit up like a cathode that keeps me warm in the shadows keeps me warm in the shadows
at the masquerade, novelties are delighting revel in all our little tragedies newfound passions are igniting delve into our little mysteries
can we talk about love something stolen, something won can we talk about love something burning ‘til it’s done
at the masquerade, novelties are delighting revel in all our little tragedies newfound passions are igniting delve into our little mysteries
