A little background ... it's an old song, written when I was nineteen or twenty. A friend of mine had just told me how her best friend had committed suicide. A teen pregnancy and the parents of the lass forced her to give the child up for adoption. She had wanted to keep it. So I wrote this. Maybe not a tribute, perhaps more of a memorial.

The song was arranged in Magix Music Maker then exported as individual .wav files into Reaper for the final mix and master.

The vocals proved rather difficult to record as I changed/upgraded mic's and an audio interface mid-way through the recording (not a mistake I'll ever make again), so I had a helluva time trying to match the EQ's. But it is what it is and I'm pretty happy with it

Hope you like it, and I'm open to any feedback (and it's OK, I know I'm no Springsteen!!)

As a side note (and to prevent any potential copyright infringements), all the images in the clip were taken by me on a trip around the North/West Scottish coast.

good job - ciao da sandro

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
