Description: Soundtrack piece by Jane Sumrall Johnson with Brandon W. Bailey for the Alone cd.

Very nice composition with a complicated harmonies way. I like the unstable mood of this music. Great using a harmonies. Very good orchestration.

I'm listening to this again. this is an outstanding piece, the arrangement and performance is superb, and it is far beyond what even the most notable Hollywood composers are capable of.

So calming-just right late night-lovely !!

LYRICS & VOCAL by J.J. Terrell

I am extremely proud of J.J. Terrell, who took a digital composition of acoustic and Dobro slide guitars that I wrote years ago, and fashioned it into a gem worthy of Nashville. He wrote beautiful lyrics to a new melody, sang the lead vocal, added stunning piano, violin, and percussion triangle — all performed by J.J. 

Please give him praise on this one — Rolling Home, a love song with the soul of Southern Rock and sound of Country about a traveler headed home to a beloved. To J.J. 👏👏👏

LYRICS by J.J.
Now the sun’s setting low, painting the sky
The closer I get, I can’t help but sigh
All the pain fades with every mile
Soon, I’ll be home to your loving smile

The porch light’s on, I see you there
Waiting with a heart, so full, so rare
You’re my song, my heartbeat’s tune
Rolling home, I’ll be there soon

Rolling home, through the thunder and rain
Each mile a memory, each turn brings the pain
I’m counting the hours, 
Til I hold you tight
Rolling home
Back to your light

Rolling Home

When Im out walking in the countryside I often look up & see The Common Buzzard that as made an astonishing come back.
The "comeback" of the common buzzard refers to its successful recovery as the most common bird of prey in the UK, after being persecuted by gamekeepers and declining due to pesticide use in the mid-20th century. Legal protection and a reduction in pesticides have allowed populations to rebound, and they are now found almost everywhere in the country. This recovery is considered a major conservation success story. 
So back to the idea of the song which was recorded June 2024.
Crows pursue common buzzards a behavior called mobbing to defend their territory. By harassing the buzzard, the crows try to drive it away from their nest site, which is a common defense mechanism for many birds. 
I can never understand why the powerful buzzard just doesn’t turn and take the crow out with it’s incredible sharp talons. 
The idea I have linked to dating and trying to free yourself from the worst  brief two dates of your life yet she still persists in pursuing the third one.
Chasing you down just like the Crow with the Buzzard.
Hope this makes sense as my imagination always tries to think outside the box with lyrics.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

The Buzzard and the Crow 

V1
Just like the scratches you left down my back 
There a reminder of our brief past 
I turn my  talons to be a  lethal assassin 
ever time I looked up that never happened 

Chorus 
You are the crow
Me I am the buzzard 
Fly away from me
My brief lover x2
It’s time to let me go
Cause I am the  buzzard 
And you, you are the crow 

V2 
The first night we met the  warning signs were there 
Sharing platter not shared you  got tequilaed and fell of the chair 
I gave you the benefit of  first  date nerves 
I anit saying what happened second date was  absurd 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Outro 
The carrion crow 
who just won’t let go 
As I try and fly 
into the open sky
Your in pursuit 
following my route 
The buzzard and the crow 
Is there something that they know 
That’s me and that is you 
It’s over we’re done we’re  through

Passing Away

Soundtrack piece by Jane Sumrall Johnson with Brandon W. Bailey for the Alone cd.

Broken

"A musical vision of Winter and the silence deep within it's heart. But there is still beauty to be found and life goes on despite the dark and the cold."

Description

My first truly orchestral composition, Winter, finds me trying to express, in music, my feelings about this season. Below is a attempt at doing this  in words too. This is the first of hopefully four orchestral pieces that describe the four temperate seasons of the year.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Winter 
As you travel deep into the heart of Winter, life slowly withdraws for a time. Not defeated, just resting for a while. New life will be reborn as the nights get shorter after the solstice.

But for now, you walk out into it's heart and reflect on the austere beauty this season brings. Water frozen over and castles made of ice. A fellow traveller hunched against the cold nods as you walk by.

The magic of Christmas quickly fades into the chill of the New Year. A time of renewal and vows of friendship and peace.

Nature is holding it's breath, ready to be be reborn with the light of the sun.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation
 
Shevannai vocal library (Eduardo Tarilonte)
Con Sordino and 8ve strings (Albion One - Spitfire)
Harp Harmonics (Garritan GP05)
Piano(Halion Sonic)
Cello (Halion Sonic)
English Horn / Cor Anglais (Chris Hein Winds)
Orchestral Chimes (Garritan GPO5)

Dynamics was a key part of this composition as was tempo. The tempo slowly decreases as the track goes on to give a feeing of everything slowing down as Winter moves on. Only very subtle but its there. 

I wanted a more delicate arpeggio sound later on so the piano was replaced with harp harmonics, that gives a change of sound when I needed it.
