A Waltz for Ning

I've written many love songs over the years for specific individuals. This is...really just another love the song. The opening notes are supposed to represent how my heart stopped and fluttered when I saw her and hopefully my feelings for her will now be immortalized on the internet. I noticed that people don't seem to post too many love songs on this forum...but which one of us have not written a love song at some point in our lives?

I wrote this one earlier this year and got around to recording it last weekend. Trying some new formats. I notice that a lot of people here don't tend to post live pieces. Do people like having the sheet music, vs watching someone play? Let me know....Recorded on a Bechstein Grand. I might try to add the sheets in so you can see my hands playing and the sheet music, if people feel this is a nicer format

Me. I've never written a single love song in my life. That is because no one wants to receive my noisy music 😅 But maybe someday? If I get a "beautiful musical spirit".

Honestly, watching someone play is better for me. One reason is that I can glimpse their individual spirit a bit. On the Internet, it is difficult to get their character, so it helps me to understand not only their music but also themselves even better.

Another reason is... "I CAN'T READ SHEET MUSIC!", haha. It's very personal since most of you guys can read it.

As for this piece of yours and the video itself, I have already commented on your video, as you know.

Have a wonderful day, grant.

Oh, also, glad to know you love Bill Evans. I really love him too. He definitely has — hard to explain — unique and lovely, gentle, harmonic textures, touch, and tone, really great. I love him... He is one of the few musicians whose music, even when I hear clipping in his album, I not only don't care, but I couldn't care because I am totally indulged. Have you ever listened to the album "Living Time"? That is different from his main musical spirit, but it is also an amazing one. I talked too much, sorry, haha.

Best,

Lithl.

Thanks for the kind words, friend. Once again...very humbled to have conjured up images/feelings of Bill Evans for you.

I have not heard of Living Time. I had a listen on youtube...it sounds a bit more avant garde, perhaps more up your alley! For some reason, it reminded me of parts of the SimCity2000 sound track. I love the track titles... Event I/Event II, brilliant! I am going to have to take some to digest it all. Once again, thanks again for giving me something to chew on. For now, really liking Event VI. Very funk/rock and roll jazz feel!

You bring up a great point about sheet music. This is something so obvious that I did not even consider. I really appreciate you sharing that point, it helps me much more than you might know.

If you ever write a love song one day, please do share it! This forum needs more love songs (in my opinion).
