Might You Come Home Soon - an original

[Jim Baldwin]

Hi Everyone,
Here is a song I wrote and performed on the CVP 509 + Motif Rack XS

Hope it is okay to post vocals on here.

Comments would be appreciated.

Hi!

Nice. Reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel.

I'm a bit interested in poetry and lyrics. "Waiting for your letter to come" was a bit repetitive at the end. How about, like you have "Might you come back some day" followed by "Might you come home one day"; "Waiting for your next letter to come" followed by "Waiting for the next day"?

What do you actually use the Motif for here? Sounds like it's all 509.

Hi Danny,
Thanks for listening and pleased you liked it.

"Waiting for your letter to come" at end signifies waiting each day is repetitive.

Motif used for backing. Using motif for backing gives more flexibility for playing CVP. Also I chose the backing parts from the thousands of arpeggios provided. I get what I want as backing this way. In this song piano part is simple but more generally you can play CVP in normal piano style and get interesting backings from Motif.

Hi Jim,

Very nicely done. It has a very relaxed feeling -- both your voice and the background.

I haven't had much time yet to drill down in this forum, but I will as time allows. I'd like to eventually read/hear them all, but I'm just sampling a few from people who have responded to my postings.

So far, it looks like the contributors are creating on their CVPs, whereas I'm creating on my PC, and exporting it to my 405 for creating wav and mp3 files.

I was a tenor sax player in my my old life, and don't have strong keyboard skills, so I have to approach music from a different direction. My main thrust now, in retirement, is writing.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Ruffo,
Thanks for listening and I am pleased you liked it.

The good thing about modern music technology is that it gives you many choices of how you want to work. Choose what suits you best. Your way of working is fine. It is a suitable approach for writing music. I wish you the best.
