Liner Notes
#loops #vocallooping #skirmish
I've been reading some fantasy books cloaked in historical fiction full of dark magic and other nefarious things which maybe kind of inspired this. Either way, I had fun with the loop pedal. Great prompt!
Lyrics
A maiden so fair went walking one day Trying to get some fresh air Away from the noise that clouded her thoughts that flowed Only when she found herself all alone
Among the roses That grow without restraint Among the roses Their thorns will pierce a heart too faint
A maiden so fair, in sweet disarray Catching the petals that fell on her face And she didn’t see the clouds draw near Bright thunderbolts that did appear
Among the roses That grow without restraint Among the roses Their thorns will pierce a heart too faint
Is your heart too faint?

Gorgeous sound. I like the way the freewheeling sound contrasts with the more fated air of the fairy-tale narrative.

Great use of the looper. Those vocals are stunning! I love the gospel-style sound to those harmonies. Chilling!

This is timeless and great storytelling! Excellent skirmish!

This sounds so cool with the backing line on the loop pedal.
Not quite gospel, not quite swing. This is a keeper.
