Greetings!

Valentines Day is near and I would like to contribute a love song for the occasion. I first thought about some words to get me started and a picture that best represents the song as I express it. I decided to do a romantic dance score.

The words ...

Love is ...
Were it is given ...
And where it is found ...
Love is ...
Where many see thin air ...
But a few feel a powerful bond ...
Love is ...
Where there is a heart and soul ...
To be a part of ...
Love is ...
The feminine ...
And the masculine ...
Love is ...
Where there is no gain ...
Without the necessary pain ...
Love is ...
A challenge ...
And a commitment ...
Then love has been given,
And love has been found 

... are simple and only in my thoughts creating the song, but the meaning and feeling of love and the romance is in the music ;)

For my next Music Maker - hybrid song using much of my own studio resources I will present 'Love Is ...' ... Shall we dance and be what love is!!!

Mark ;)

@Vio-Project

Hello Sylvio, thank you for your impression of my 'Love Is' song. My intention was for it to be an instrumental but a few inspirational words did come to my mind. Well I did sing (with my own voice) once on a cover song that is playing on Soundcloud titled 'Turning The Pages Of Time' that was my own arrangement of the song 'Turn Turn Turn'. My favorite version of 'Turn Turn Turn' was sung by Judy Collins in the late 60s. It took me the an entire summer to produce the song. I did 12 takes before I was finally satisfied. Maybe I will sing on a song here on Magix (to accept the challenge ;) but I would have to be very emotionally involved to do another 12 takes of such a song and an entire season ;)

Thanks again Sylvio for your great comments ... my best!!!

Mark ;)

An interesting choice of sounds, harpsichord and strings. Not as lush as I thought it would be but it's romantic in keeping with St. Valentine. I like the rewording of "no pain no gain" which is often used by exercise coaches. I believe Magix has a text to singing facility in it somewhere. You just feed it in. If you didn't use that, maybe next year. A worthy track, pleasant to listen to. Can't say I'm the romantic type but I can still listen to that style of music.

Best wishes,

Philip-J

Hello Philip,

I always enjoy your visit and thorough impressions of my works. Well not lush in the usual mushy language of romance but the expression of the quality and genuine feeling and connection of a loving relationship. I think the 64 bpm is a great pace for close slow dancing. The lighthouse image signifies that no ocean or distance can be a barrier to the love between those we choose to love. I wish a happy Valentine's day and season to all!

Mark ;)

@Paulo.Costa

Hello Paulo,

Thank you for enjoying my music. And I'm glad my music reminds you of someone you truly love, your mother. Yes, this song is about what love is, and you can even feel that powerful bond you have with your mother. Someday you will be where she is now Because now she is 'where there is a heart and a soul to be a part of'.

My best wishes to you in your quest to understand more about what love is... and my music!!!

Mark ;)

Olá Paulo,

Obrigado por curtir minha música. E fico feliz que minha música te lembre de alguém que você realmente ama, sua mãe. Sim, essa música é sobre o que é o amor, e você pode até sentir esse vínculo poderoso que você tem com sua mãe. Um dia você estará onde ela está agora Porque agora ela está 'onde há um coração e uma alma para fazer parte'.

Meus melhores desejos para você em sua busca para entender mais sobre o que é o amor... e minha música!!!

Mark ;)
