The Essence Of You

I am pleased to announce that my song The Essence Of You has been released. To listen to the song free of charge or purchase in MP3 and FLAC formats, please go to My Music page.

For this song, I wanted to create something a little more uptempo with a catchy chorus that compliments the lyric. It tells the story of the singer's pure love for his partner's various traits and characteristics - the things that make her the remarkable woman that she is in his mind. A male lead sings the verses with a female backing singer joining the chorus. The song is written in the key of D major and is recorded at 156 beats pure minute.

The song was entirely created in the digital domain using VSTi instruments, including alto saxophone played with split embouchure, a lead guitar, bass guitar, piano, congas, a standard drum kit and obligatory hand claps. As is usual for me, the vocals were created using VSTi voice software.

The lyrics to The Essence Of You are partly inspired by memories of events in my first love affair and partly by the workings of my imagination. If you would like to read the lyrics, please go to My Music page and activate the Note and Script symbol on the track player.

I like to encourage listeners to give constructive critique on my songs and lyrics. Please do use the comments box to let me know your views, ask questions or 'like' the song as appropriate. Thank-you.
