Not sure what has happened to me lately. I have been finding sounds on my guitar and building the melody and lyric at the same time... I guess over time you try new things and processes change, but this is one of them. A little DADGAD fun! It is short, born of the vision I have of the fall. You will only understand the lyric if you have some Greek Mythology background on Demeter and Persephone, but their story of the fall is where this was inspired. All music, vocals and recording/mixing are me...I'm the one to blame.... Anyhow....let's celebrate the fall!!! THE LEAVES ARE FALLING on SoundCloud Leaves Are Falling by Tammy Jann © 2015 Moving away far from the sun warm goodbyes have begun Hades is calling the flower journeys down below when the darkness knows the leaves are falling, are falling falling, falling, the leaves are falling falling, falling, the leaves are falling Summer's fruits put on display animals hide from the grey the birds are calling, they're calling the colors dance on every tree they're swept away by a breeze the leaves are falling, are falling falling, falling, the leaves are falling falling, falling, the leaves are falling falling, falling, the leaves are falling they're falling, falling, falling

OK, so now you are moving on up into joni mitchell territory. Quite excellent, well done across the board.
Good set of lyrics, too -- and your voice is beautiful on this one. Mighty fine instrumentation and mix, too (the background noise didn't detract too much).
Loved it.

Tammy,
Very soothing and mellow tune. What really makes it for me is your exceptional vocal performance. It seems so effortless and spot on as always. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tammy,
Very pretty song. Your vocals are quietly passionate here, and fittingly so.
I agree with Kevin. Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, too, if you are exploring alternate tunings, both are great sources.

Hi Tammy,
Such a lovely song! It inspired me to get up, walk to my window, and watch the leaves in my yard, while I listened!

Beautiful Tammy. Wonderful playing and singing and probably the best recording I have heard from you. My only nit is it was way too short. I wanted to hear more!

Ricki,
Glad you like the Joni vibe, I didn't do it on purpose, but I do listen to her pretty often to be influenced!

Donna,
Glad the autumnal feeling is there for you, I could feel the leaves falling in the music, there was no other idea for this song after that. Thanks for giving this a listen!

Dave,
Maybe it seemed good BECAUSE it was short..LOL! This was such an experimental song for me, I wasn't sure how long I could stretch it out without boring folks...still learning, but glad the attempts aren't too difficult for folks to endure. Thanks for giving this a listen!

Hey Tammy,
Simple and very sweet song, nice write, nice vocals. (Work on getting rid of the background noise like Kevin suggested--that will make a significant difference especially with open space in song with few tracks).

Thanks Eddie, yes, the background is the fan in my computer... can't get rid of it on the Tascam, thanks for taking a listen, I admit the recording is not my forte, just trying to get the idea of what I'm writing across....glad to see you again!
