Sadness


epii

Recommended Posts

This is a tune I wrote after watching the animated Disney movie "Inside Out". I love the blue "Sad" character.

I used a flute-y instrument as a vocal guide so as not to forget the melody if I ever get around to finishing the lyrics and singing it. Just insert the word "sad - ness" when the flute-y thing comes in after the intro and everywhere else that melody occurs (there are many of them)... like this; "sad - ness blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." Writing lyrics is not my favorite thing.

I mix in my studio grade headphones.. I know, I know shame on me. So any comments on eq and levels would be much appreciated.

Here’s a Soundcloud link, or you can play the uploaded mp3.

Thank you Sepharite for the kind words. I've not tried writing a musical.. wouldn't know where to begin seeing as I don't read music.

But kind of you to suggest it all the same.  :)

This song drew on my love of Gilbert O'Sullivan and his "choppy" piano style.. I love his music, and also The Beatles, especially the "Penny Lane" trumpet solo.

I'm a huuuge Beatle freak!

Thanks again! You've encouraged me to post another piece.
