"Understatement" by Johnbee

[Johnbee]

With just two chords, this is probably one of my simplest projects musically.  Done as a "hybrid".  Meaning that Reason 7 lacked the string sounds I really wanted so I imported them from other sample libraries.

"Understatement"

Recorded in Propellerhead Reason/Record 7.  Strings by Garritan Pocket Orchestra (ensemble) and Miroslav Philharmonik (Solos)

Looking out my window
Through crystal drops of rain
I see that memory
Brings emptiness and pain
And through my misty point of view
I choose to close my eyes
Remembering all too vividly all those times

I touched the heavens
Each time I touched your face
My words could not convince you
And time could not erase
I was a fool to let you go
Could not have been more wrong
I lost your love so carelessly
Forever gone

(Chorus)
To call it love is an understatement
You're every part of my world and more
Everything I adore. You're all I live for.

Wake with me in the morning
Stay thru the afternoon
As evening comes the darkness
Brings solace to my gloom
Now touch my hand and let me know
It only was a dream
You're at my side. You're still the one
moving me

(Chorus Repeat)

Nice song. The use of the pizzicato strings was a nice touch.

[Farrell Jackson]

You have really put the WOW factor in these two chords John! It may be two simple chords but the strings and the melody you've placed with them makes it seem like much more than just two simple chords. Well done!

I have to agree with Farrell! Very nice tune & those strings are wonderful!
Rock On!

Beautiful song, really excellent vox and super production!

[Johnbee]

Thanks so much, guys!
I'm glad the pizzicattos are coming through.  I was afraid they weren't audible.

This is a great song, great mood....the opening is awesome....so....what is pizzicattos?  Violin maybe?  If that's what it is, it sounds great in this song.
