Standard tuning? or synth? Nice either way!

a slow burn still in progress, as music should be...in a fluid state

a slow burn

I composed this song many years ago but I updated the tune in 2023. 

Lyrics

I’m sitting here thinking
What are you doing 
I hope you’re doing fine; I do miss you so

That sweet smile you have
Leaves a picture in my mind
All I can do, is just think of you

Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely, never helped nobody, and all I can do s just think of you

When I’m with you
Everything seems so fine
I give you all I have, just give me love in return

I’ll share my love with you
If only you stay near
I really don’t know what I’d do, if some day you were gone

Dreamless Elyana

This is a piece of music that I wrote on the guitar sometime in 2017. I decided to record it again with the added cello and release it onto the world.
I recorded it using my Yamaha Revstar standard with P90 pickups, Orange Rockerverb amp model from my Line 6 HX Stomp and played around with the Valhalla Supermassive Plugin.

Lost Soul

Durante 1973 mi banda "Rata Intelectual" formaba con bajo, batería y guitarra líder. 'Opus 3' es un tema preparado para trío que modifiqué cuando se agregó un nuevo integrante y yo pasé del bajo a la guitarra rítmica.
'Segundo Tema' quedó llamado así ('Second Theme') porque era el segundo de cuatro temas de una suite que finalmente no terminé. Esta versión cuenta con el agregado de teclados que no estaban presentes en la original. El resto es igual y reproduce los arreglos de mi extinto amigo Daniel Eusebi (RIP), profundo admirador de Jan Akkerman. Sobre el final hay una aproximación al estilo de Steve Howe de quien era fan yo por aquellos años.
Esta segunda parte cierra el período que pude recuperar de 1973 basado en registros conservados en viejos cassettes.

'Segundo Tema' was called so ('Second Theme') because it was the second of four themes from a suite that I finally did not finish. This version has the addition of keyboards that were not present in the original. The rest is the same and reproduces the arrangements of my late friend Daniel Eusebi, a deep admirer of Jan Akkerman. At the end there is an approximation to the style of Steve Howe, of whom I was a fan in those years.
This second part closes the period that I was able to recover from 1973 based on records preserved on old cassettes.

Opus 3

She was born on an isle off an island
In the midst of the Emerald Sea
Her daddy spied a light in her eye
That showed what she was born to be

And they called the girl Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learned
Should be learned again

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia knew that she was loved
But she knew that she was poor
One morning when out gathering
Between the strand and the old sea shore
A pirate blown by cruel fate
Slipped his anchor close to land
When he spied the girl his pirate mind
Thought he’d take the girl in hand

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

He took our fair Virginia
Set course for the Isle of Man
He hoped that on the island
There he could complete his plan
But the ocean storms were brewing
And they blew them out to sea
Till the ship was was smashed on the distant shore
That we now call Cape Henry

And the land was called Virginia..

Now Virginia swam towards the shore
Though the company was drowned
But she gathered strength and she walked the way
that leads to James’ town
Now Virginia saw Virginia
And knew that the land was good
And that she could build a better life
than ever she’d have thought she could

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia came with nothing
But nothing was enough
To build herself a better life
Though the going would be very tough
She had an eye for business
And she had an eye for style
And she became the richest soul
In the county by a country mile

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Then one fateful morning
A stranger came to town
She saw at once the hated face
Of the man who’d tried to drag her down
A gun was on the table
She held it to his head
And as he begged for mercy
This is what the lady clearly said

“You brought me to Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learnt should be learned again
Its true that life’s been good to me
Since you took me from my home
But leaving all that I held dear
That choice was mine and mine alone”

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be
