Wolves lament

Challenge: FOUND SOUNDSLiner Notes
#one-take #wolves #foundsounds Saw the first challenge and had a go. I also managed to get the word "ululate" into the song, which I'm happy about. Thanks to the wolves at Artis in Amsterdam for helping out with this one.
Lyrics
Such a lonely place to be Communications have broken down We send the signals every day No-one there to answer the call
And still we ululate at will Trying to reach our long lost tribe Replies are not forthcoming No sound of distant running
And feathered ones overhead Mocking all who cannot fly If we could only show them If we could only roam the streets
Our name is misconstrued Just like our teeth which rarely bite We like to wander in the twilight Sharpened eyes in the half-light

Hell yeah on using "ululate" so naturally in a lyric line like that! Beautiful vocal melody and haunting chords... My favorite lyrics are the whole last stanza. 🧡
Working "ululate" into a song is certainly an accomplishment! This is lovely.
How the heck are you doing those "sustained" wolves? Very interesting!
Awesome vocal on this! ❤️
This is INCREDIBLE! 500 points for "ululate" :-)
