FAWM: "Jazz of Love"

Jazz of Love

Liner Notes

This is my first real attempt at writing a jazz song and I couldn't figure out a way to emulate the brushes so I was forced to use a sample from YouTube. I'd consider this song incomplete, I was considering writing a trumpet solo at the point where it ends but I can't spend so much time on one song so this is the best it can be right now. I'll be updating these notes with the process video soon :) #jazz #waltz
P.S I did do some heavy vocal tuning on here using Melodyne, I figured it's best to be transparent about it since I know how some people feel about vocal tuning.

The process: (kind of, i lost a significant amount of footage due to a couple screw ups)

Lyrics

Underneath the twilight's gleam
Your eyes like stars begin to dream
Whispers of the night persist
In the magic of your kiss

A melody in minor key
Your laughter sings a symphony
Softly swaying as we dance
Lost within a sweet romance

Oh the rhythm of our hearts
Plays its tune as love imparts
Every note is sheer delight
In the jazz of love tonight

Each moment like a tender rhyme
Caught within this spell of time
Your touch a gentle serenade
In this love that we have made

Oh the rhythm of our hearts
Plays its tune as love imparts
Every note is sheer delight
In the jazz of love tonight

This is great! You've got a gift for finding interesting chord progressions and melodies.

Ho ly snap, this is gorgeous! So absolutely lovely.
And, your vocals are magical. I don't know if you're using tuning there, but it sounds great! Dayum, good stuff

@audrey 2w

Wow! This is really great! What a wonderfully sultry jazz number. Love your vocal and melody in this one. Beautiful song! Kudos!

@lemoan 2w

@ohljazz I can do that! I'll be sure to send a link on your profile once I get to it.

Nice laid back vibe. I can see where that solo might fit at the top of the second verse - I'd be happy to add a piano part to this if you like!
(not sure I can notate the part, but I'd be happy to add a piano track to the existing recording if you can generate a piano-less version and the chord chart)

@nkrefting 2w

Hey fellow Reaper user! This is very impressive, especially considering you couldn't record the keyboard and had to do it all in the roll!!! That's some knowledge and patience at work there.... (Also the song is gorgeous :) )

I sincerely believe that the autotune gives a lot of character to this song, I need to start experimenting with more effects on vocals.

@witcrafts 2w

Well, if that's your first attempt, your 10th might be up for a Grammy 🤯
This is already beautiful as it is; the trumpet solo you're thinking of adding might jazz it up a bit but it does not feel to me like it's missing anything.
