Title: "Lullaby For Zakk" - A Geir & Bethan original
Post by: Geir on March 21, 2012, 06:23:05 AM
Bethan wanted to make a lullaby for her new grandson and asked me for to  make a music track for her to sing to.
Tess added 2 extra riffs and pitched it down as well. She also did the mixing and the vocal arrangement.


This is the result. A big thanks to Bethan and Tess @ alonetone for this collab !!

Lullaby For Zakk
w:Bethan,  m:Geir
Shadows Come, Day Is All Done,
Soon You Will Fall Asleep
Stars In The Skies Will Open Their Eyes
Guard The Dreams You Keep
Watching While You Sleep

When You Are Grown And Life Is Your Own
A Stage Where You Can Glow
Whatever You Do It'S All Up To You
You'Ll Give It Your Best, I Know
Happiness! Way To Go!

Every Day People Will Say,
Who Do You Look Like, Who?
Come What May, Who Cares What They Say
It Is Certainly True
Baby You Are You

When You'Re Grown And Life Is Your Own
A Stage Where You Can Glow
Whatever You Do, It'S All Up To You
Don'T Think That I Won'T Know
My Love Sits In The Front Row.

Little Zakk probaly must love this at nap time  :)
Wow that`s beautiful. Perfect guitar tone and playing G-man! I don`t think I could come up
with a lullaby song if i tried.

Bethan, once again you impress me with your voice. So much range.
The beginning and ending harmonies are perfect and love the words to this!! What a collab!

This is amazing! So beautiful and mezmorizing. The vocal arrangement is just gorgeous and the productions is perfect. I'm on computer speakers but I can hear a few arpeggios going round, what do you have going on in there Geir?
 Really great stuff!
Sleep on!

This was wonderful.  Really nice melody. It will certainly lull Zakk Wylde Jr. to sleep.

I think this would sound ominous over a dark video as well. I see vampires.

What a lovely voice. Very original tune. I can see this being used for a sound track in a move. Can you picture it?

I imagined this song being sang during Medieval times to many children just before bed time. Lovely song with the perfect voice for it! It's very enjoyable to hear a sweet lullaby every once in awhile. Must have something to do with my childhood. lol! Thanks for sharing this.

Ethereal beauty!  Draws on a fine tradition of minor key lullabyes, but with much more pleasant lyrics.  I have to assume Zaak sleeps very peacefully these days..  Beautiful collaboration!  DD

Thanks for the bump and for the kind comments !! Bethan really made this music come to life with her wonderful voice !

At some places it might be a ukulele back in the mix, and I also switched to some arpeggio-ish playing after a while for some variation on the guitar. All done with a pick tho (as far as I can recall :) )
