Description : EDIT: I took into consideration some advice I got on the track - and realised I HATED the vocals I did on this! So, spent an afternoon fixing it up a bit... adding some additional harmonies, and now feel much happier about the end result. Jeeeez... that first draft was false! hehehe
Thanks for the suggestion DFury :)

(song for O'Shea)
A day... condensed into a song. Dublin, as I remember it. Thanks to DJ4Real for the beautiful "Bells" loop. Also used in this track - harp, piano (layered), tremolo strings and an Indian flute. (albeit briefly)

saw you standing there
in a flurry of red roses
at the top of Grafton street
i flew up
i flew up
i flew high o'er St. Stephen's green

and this is where I am
everytime I see your name
taking me back
to the bus stop outside the museum
where the bones of a warrior
lies in rest
forever and ever passing the test of time
test of time

everytime i look into his eyes
i wished he were you
i wished he were you

and i was just a child
i didn't know what love was
you stood the test of time
i didn't know what love was
everytime i look into his eyes
i fly up
i fly up
o'er St. Stephen's Green
the Liffey
Grafton street

You've got such a great ear. To layer things like this, the melody, harmonies and textures and have things float forward and free at just the right moment...yeah, young lady - you just keep getting better and better.

Great choices for sounds throughout. All that's left is my applause (can you hear it way down there?). Well done!

Delicate and beautiful intro... Great vocals and effect usage, I'm loving the fact you are using your voice as an instrument with many tracks devoted to is gorgeous tones. Your production and arrangement on this is also spell binding..

Cheers, Slap...

Wow, I'm not sure how I missed your work.

But I'm glad I found it. Definitely had to add this one to the favorites. You have mad skills, and a flawless voice.

Beautiful work.

This is amazing. Bits remind me of Imogen Heap and in other spots I get a Sigur Ros / Jonsi feel. Are you going to put an a capella track out of this? I'd love to write something to go along with it.

Nice job minette I swear you just keep getting better and better, this is a great production throughout. You voice sounds excellent, and in my opinion has a nice pro sound to it. The lyrics really good as well. Keep it up.

I could imagine this being in the same realm as Dido or adult contemporary stuff I hear at an office or something! I love it, Looperman always has some surprises, you are very talented Minette!

minette replied Unknown
i'd like to think i sound a bit less "whiney" than Dido - but really appreciate the comparison.

thanks so much for listening - come back soon and check out some more of my tracks!

Great muted intro and I really like the moment the beat kicks in. Nice vocalism and lyricism, crisp layers, nice pace, overall great production. Only thing the beat and melody faded out a bit abruptly at 2:30, could be another way to transition (maybe just chop it off at 2:27?) but this is being picky, keep this up & happy new year - DF

Thanks for the advice - basically redid all the vocals and changed the cut off to a double layer beat at around 2:30 :)

Description : hi guys, so the object here was to write an original Christmas track that has all the Christmas trimmings but also brings home a few stark reminders, things that you don't necessarily think about as you selfishly open your presents with your families, i would describe it as a modern day festive treat, it has nods to the old, and the true meaning of Christmas, this is so not what you'd expect from dime, lol, tbf Im gassed about it :)

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoy

Description : Description : Ever heard an oompah song? No? Well, today's your lucky day! Kayos likes to keep things not typical :-)

After a few mellow and emotional tunes, we thought it was time for something to lift our mood - maybe even make you grin.

This one's for all the free spirits out there - the ones who don't quite fit into a normal office job and are sensitive to environments and energies. We all seek joy from freedom in creativity.

Description : Here is another house/pop track. This one was made for a collab with another artist but, decided to make a different beat, since this isn't quite what he wanted. If you would like to collab on this, leave a message below or send an email to magic41151@yahoo.com. Thanks for stopping by and take care!

Description : Please listen to the original version of Its Me by Speacarrier. She just picks up her ukulele and her beautiful voice sings the pain off her soul. After Rushes I couldn't resist putting her in a different musical bed again. I hope you like it.

A big Thanks to Juke 4060 and Takesbeat for your guitars.
