Here it is, as promised. This is the second song of the concept album I started many months ago.

All original, composed with synth and atmospheric sounds. All lyrics and vocals by me. Sorry about the bad quality of the vocals. I'm not a good singer at all.

I don't think I need to explain much about the story, just the timeline. This takes place about a week after the first song. The lyrics tell you the rest...

Lyrics:

Refrain: We drink, we feast, we gather 'round the fire

where legends are told, which always inspire

and take us far away, to another day, as we sit and play lyres

This night of the festival

 

The annual celebration

A day to give thanks for the joy in our lives

We are a grateful nation

No greed will control us, we are satisfied

And now it is time to reflect

And now it is time to recollect

[Refrain]

The sky so clear, the stars so bright

A cold excitement now fills the air

All cares are cast aside tonight

The sights and sounds are a wondrous affair

And now it is time to reflect

And now it is time to recollect

[Refrain]

Whispering voices we hear

Whispering voices draw near

Out of the woods they emerge

Shadowy figures converge...

 

There is a slight twist in the plot here. It will get much more interesting in upcoming songs.

Thanks for listening! I found the picture on google. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, a "lyre" is a type of stringed instrument.

Sehr gut geworden, die technischen Schwierigkeiten bei den Voices finde ich sogar sehr gut und passend.
Das gibt dem Stück ein wenig mehr "live-feeling"...
Und mehrstimmig Texte einzusingen ist ohnehin shcon "Hohe Schule"...

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

 Thanks to everyone for the very nice comments! Maybe I hear the vocals differently because I have heard them so many times in the process of composing and mixing, but I'm glad it is enjoyable when hearing them for the first time.

Hi,

ich bin sehr fasziniert von deinem mehrstimmigen Gesang. Hört sich echt schön an. Ein sehr ruhiger Song mit einem sehr fröhlichen Charakter.

Sehr gut gemacht.

The arrangement of your voice overdubs are the work of an excellent composer.
