"Subtlety" a Redler & Hook original

[Hook]

Redler posted this https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=21333.0 a while back & I just loved it! In fact I have neglected to listen to ORH's take of the same tune so I wouldn't be influenced. I did this yesterday Kari, on you birthday, hope it was a great day & I hope you like this.

Subtlety

music by Redler  lyrics by Hook

Why must we change
And why must we grow
I'm not the same
But not all my changes show

Subtlety has never been my strength
But it's the subtle things that move me
Held to ideology at least I'd like to think
Perhaps I'll make a difference subtly

I miss the way
you used to be impressed
Used to be my quirks
What you like about me best

Chorus

We are so fragile
We are so shattered

Why must we feel
Anything at all

Chorus

[Redler]

I'm on the fourth listening and I like your interpretaion a lot!! The rhythm of the vocal and vocal melody is so different - it can be done at least hundreds of ways . Really fantastic job on lyric as well! Wow!!

And I love the hookastic way you sang this! Really fantastic birthday present! Thanks!

I really like the both versions (yours and orh's). Long live collabs . That's the big factor why I love this site!

This is such a beautiful piece of music, it would stand up in its own right and the vocal additions take it to an even higher level. I have become a big fan of Cello's in songs in the past few years, and yet another fine example of some well placed additions here adding a wonderful somber tone.

The echo/reverb on your voice Hook sounds great, it gives it a bigger impact and sits in the mix perfectly.

Well done guys, this is a hit!

A beautiful instrumental to start with, and the heartfelt vocal sits alongside it just right. A lovely, thought-provoking track and another smashing Songcrafters collaboration.

kari provided a fabulous tableaux to work with.

but hook you have just kicked the ball out of the park.

fabulous lyrics.

your vocals and lyrics are eerily reminiscent of one of my heroes, kurt wagner of lambchop.

fabulous guys.

[Jarle]

Fabulous collab. I have listened to this beautiful song a lot.

Wonderful collab - super cool. Such a mellow track, excellent sounds and overlaid by a great vocal. Love it.

This is soooo interesting! To see how different versions two musicians can do about one tune. Both are so good!   

[FuzzFace]

Nicely subdued and ultra ambient
You achieved a mood here, bro
