OK, so today I had some free time and was listening to some music and digging a bit in the depth of Looperman, what have I found? A real gem.
Thans a lot for sharing this with us Janis.
Superb. There is nothing out of place.
Ciao, Domenico

Well, the music and the mixing/mastering were made by a professional, so yes, it may sound good ...
Now I'm making music on my own, with my poor means, and it's quite hard to get things clean ;)
Anyway, I'm very happy you came over here, Domenico and liked this song, which is dear to me and reminds me of so many things .
Thanks a lot for your words,
Bises,
Janis

Brava Janis!
I am sure that Donizetti would have liked your voice: you bring this aria to a new freshness.

And I strongly disagree with you: it's surely *NOT* full of defects!

Thanks again.

Pavarotti never did this any better than you just did...

I cannot believe I missed this.

Once again, you have rendered this old Bear speechless. Absolutely stunning performance.

You truly are a gift to all of us. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with all of us. Thank you for the download as well. I have added this to my collection of classical greats because you belong right there with the best of them. I hope all is well.

So, in a way, I'll be there when you'll have a nice coffee listening to that, Bear ;)
Oh la la .. don't speak such undeserved compliments ... ! I've just been in love with that piece for a long time and wanted to put a little of my heart in it, with vocal weaknesses in terms of "legato" and many other defects .. but it finally sounded like I wished, as best as I could .
My warmest thank you for your so gentle comment, dear Bear ... !
Yeah, how can't all be well with such nice people as you paying me a visit here ? ;)
Big hugs from my snowy Frenchie village,
Janis

Hi Behnam ;)
The music's not mine, it's an instrumental version I found on the web and this piece was originallly sung by Pavarotti . I just wanted to make it mine for fun and sing it with my heart . I'm happy you liked it and spoke your impression about it . Thanks a lot for your gentle words,
Regards and wishes in return,
Peace,
Janis ;)

Janis, you are such a special talent, but when you combine your skills with those of Ed, it is a magical moment indeed. Your voice is nothing short of spectacular, with perfect pitch, intonation, and inflection. You are truly a rare talent and we are all lucky you have graced Looperman with your presence. Thanks to you and Ed for this wonderful collaboration. Definitely added to my favorites. I hope all is well.

I "fell" on Looperman by chance and yes, speaking of grace, that's what I feel with this opportunity to share and meet and "work" with passionate and very friendly musicians here ...
I would never have dreamt of such a nice place to fulfill my wish of music sharing .
Ed made me a beautiful gift and you came over to listen to the song . I'm overjoyed and very touched .
Yes, all is well Bear, thanks a lot for your gentle words .
Take care my dear friend ;)

oooh, very sooothing, quite impressed, this is only my firstime listening to you Janis. Awesome.

excellent lyrical content and awesome execution.
I love birds :) actually kinda funny - when I do sing it's either about animals or food, and 1 song about both lol

ps: I have an african djembe if you need some sometime lemme know... also lots of acoustic stuff ; )

Hi Neal,
Nice to meet you !
I thank you for this adjective you used, "soothing" ... That's exactly what I felt when I first heard Ed's music .
I'm delighted this song managed to say what we had in our hearts .
Ths for your offer, I will definitely have a walk in your garden, Sir ;)
Cheers,

I think when you can bring vision to your music you've actually reached the starting point of what it's really all about,it then transforms into storytelling.
I part company with my long time creative muse Salavador Dali here for his abhorrence of folk (and jazz) music,no doubt founded on a misconception that these forms represented an unsophisticated and anachronistic section of society,nothing could be further from the truth...all the culture of the world has at it's heart the voice and memories of the people and nowhere is this more personified than in folk music,and this composition is a superb example.....Such a beautiful song that transports the listener to a multitude of dimensions,you just don't get that everyday,it's a rare thing...I'm amazed,astounded..dare I say dumbfounded!..Now if Salvador had his head screwed on right he might comment.."This song is autobetrothed by it's own chastity".
To Janis and Ed..I salute you!
cheers Dave :)
janis71
janis71 replied 4th Mar 2013 - 12 years ago
I'm always amazed by your clever, deeply thought and interesting comments, Dave ... !
I agree with what you say about this misconception about folk music and the fact that folklore is the people's ancestral oral tradition, culture and rituals . Some people look down on folk music considering it as too "rustic", and tend to forget that each musical style has its origins in a previous one, just like blues was born after slaves work songs for instance .
As Ed's music's so pure and delicate, I felt I could sing about tenderness, nostalgia, nature and memories .
I'm very much honoured by your words, Dave and thank you warmly for the time you spent commenting on this song . What pleases my friends, fills my heart with bliss and I'm indeed very glad Ed and you all liked it .
cu around,
My friendliest thoughts,
Janis :)

Life, love and unity, that's what Ed's music infused into my heart when I first heard it . I kept listening to it as a child who wouldn't get out of the water on a sunny and warm afternoon ... Words and notes came naturally when Ed told me that Aghalee was this little magical place very dear to him .
This music is so full of these three elements in your motto, Billy ...
I'm so happy you enjoyed it and paid us a visit here .
Big kisses,
Take good care my dear friend ;))

Well...I certainly have no special knowledge of classical vocalists Janis71...but I know a when song is performed with such wonderful talent and feeling...as you do it here. I have listened to and enjoyed many professional singers (though not as many in classical performances) but you prove here what I have oftens felt....that some of the best vocalists on our little planet are those undiscovered gems who make no claims to fame...but just shine like a light with their own talent.....We are fortunate to have these little music communities that allow us to hear what you do...Bravo....I am a fan........Ed

I am absolutely at a loss for words. Like Ed, if I try to describe how this made me feel, I will simply fall miserably short. Very few singers have the ability to leave their listeners speechless. You are one of those few.

All I can say is BRAVO young lady, and hope for an encore. I will cherish this download (thank you for that) and enjoy it over and over again.

You really are a marvelous talent. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us.
