Vlog-a-Day Friday

Sing-scatting/making random sounds that pop into my head. My oddest musical composition yet. Can you find Billie Holiday?

I hope I don't sound like a creepy stalker ... at any rate have a pleasant day. I love your music. You have such a lovely voice.

At 7:10pm on November 4, 2009, Robert Moore said…: Hi,

You said you wanted some suggestions! Well, here's a poem I wrote, inspired by the circumstances and consequences relating to Kate Bush's song "Wuthering Heights". It's inspired by an article I wrote about her where I discuss the compositions origins (or possible origins)....

It's called:

Force Enduring

Haunted by past dreams,
Victorian lace, nightdress seams,
Pale Cathy glides through time ,
through lyrical tryst and spectral rhyme,
Midnight, Leo and Luna, combine.

Other songs were sung,
And new creative threads strung,
But white dress Cathy's will be done,
Where truth and fancy merge as one,
Life as art and art as life, begun,

Floating on ether,
White dress Cathy dwells,
Time expands and memory swells,
New concepts spring forth and wells,
But Bronte's ghost, a moonlight tale,
Gifted renown via talent exelled.

Pacts with ghosts are pale and dread,
White dress Cathy, presence unsaid,
still haunts from pages read,
Banshee ne'er alive nor dead,
Fable bidden from Bronte's head.

The title is inspired by a comment Kate made where she said "Cathy will live on as a force...."

At 6:39pm on November 3, 2009, Robert Moore said…: Hi; thanks for you greetings. We have met on your facebook page link - where I first discovered your music. I've bought your first album as a Amazon UK MP3 download and left some good reviews on the reviews page. I'm the guy who really likes your "lay your hands on me" composition you did! You crafted this composition superbly! Like I said 6 out of 5 on the Amazon scale! (:-)

P.S. You might also enjoy listening to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oBMDcLf6WA
This woman had one of the most amazing voices. It would be fun tackling a piano part for this & although this version is a little slow it hits some incredible dynamics that would suit your style.
