♫ LYRICS:

Late nights, are you sleepless too?
Wide awake in the starless blue
Staring up at the ceiling
Do you feel what I'm feeling
Little fights at the weekend do
You love me better when I'm not with you
We were built like concrete
I used to know your heartbeat

The light has disappeared
The dust has settled here
But still I want you near

So I been waiting for that slow fade
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
There's no color in us lately
And it's too hard to say
I been praying that we'll
Lose our love in slow fade

Crazy how it was me and you
From the start of the sun and moon
Held each other through it
We were young and foolish
Now we're dancing like we're done
We found the end of the moon and sun
Was it always like this
'Cause now it's always like this

The light has disappeared
The dust has settled here
But still I want you near

So I been waiting for that slow fade
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
There's no color in us lately
And it's too hard to say
I been praying that we'll
Lose our love in slow fade

Maybe I'll find you again, maybe I won't
I think for now that it's best if we let it go
I hope you get all you want out of this life
Even if it's not with me by your side

So I been waiting for that slow fade
Kinda hoping that you won't stay
There's no color in us lately
And it's too hard to say
I been praying that we'll
Lose our love in slow fade

I been praying that we'll
Lose our love in slow fade

Piano Karaoke

Ruth B. - Slow Fade [Piano Backing Track Karaoke]

I wrote this piece for my beloved cat "Caline" whom I had to put to sleep due to heart failure. She was a cherished companion for over 14 years. The melody of this piece spells out her name.

About the composition:
This first Fantasie, as suggested by its title, was composed as a response to a number of sleepless nights. The thematic material is found throughout, expressed as an "idée fixe" with an evolving emotional framework. This idée fixe represents the uncontrollable obsessions of the subconscious as they cycle through a fitful, sleepless night. 

The piece moves through a vast range of emotional extremes as the initial expression of melancholy builds and evolves towards increasingly emotional declamations. The traditional Fantasy Form determines that the structure of the piece must be relatively free, so the work is given structure through the symmetry of the large sections. Furthermore, the cohesion of this piece is achieved through balanced phrasing, and the recurring presence of the original thematic material, which is represented not only in many keys, but also in differing registers, in melodic inversion and with thematic variation. The core of the work is where the composition construction is most complex: constantly juggling multiple layers of melodic ideas superimposed upon one another. As new melodic material emerges it encourages a dispute between animated passion and emotions of a more whimsical or reposed state. The coda suggest a delirious, exhausted conclusion to the seemingly endless night, with the last hints of the idée fixe overcome by hallucination and finally yielding to a fanciful flight into dreams.
