Title: Teo Torriatte ( late submission for heartbreak-fest )
Post by: Ella on September 06, 2015, 12:52:32 PM
Heartbreak (banner image missing)


I wanted to try to record my old piano. So I played this song I have always loved. It's made by Queen. I wanted to do it also little-bit different way.More mystical or something. I tied micro br with Jesus-tape inside the piano.  ;D  

I added church-bells onto chorus - I don't know if it was a good idea. Anyway that sound is from a Finnish church.

I got permission from admin team to sent this song for heartbreak-fest although I'm late.

This wonderful Ella....your piano and all the singing parts are perfect! I really liked the acapella section.

This is so beautiful. I love the sound of the piano and how well it complements your vocals. And the acapella ending is superb!

On a side note:

I've never heard this expression before! It's called duct (or duck) tape around here, but I think I may start calling it Jesus-tape. I've been saved by it more than once! ;D

Wow, what a performance. You have lots of imagination. I loved the windy section with the bells. and the harmonies are delightful.  I love Queen but I actually didn't know this song.  Its a good one and I loved you take on it.

Thank you so much. :) It is wonderful how you can build strong feelings with music. I'm glad if I succeed with that. This song is from Queens album, A Day At The Races. Released in 1976. I think it's the best Queen's album.

Don't know the original and don't want to now.  This is fabulous, Ella.  The recording and the performance are spooky and spectacular.
