... Love of dragonfly :) and KARA says to me...

[Daniel Pompougnac]

Very, very bad english language 

Imagine.
You're at the edge of a pond. Twilight.
Herds of mosquitos with fighting formation.
Cries of love of mad dragonflies and splashes with worrying eyes

Imagine.

An old friend, Nicolas, is playing mandolin on this piece at the point 2.31. (There's also a midi mandolin in background).

Kara said to me (read the thread):

Just an advice, copy the hard left panned vocals allso to the right with a very small delay. It will fill up the song.

So, I've modifed the pan of voices and add a little background vocal. It's better, yes, Kara.

Oups, I forget, the lyrics (sorry, in french language  )

Le cri d’amour des libellules

L'étang a planté ses roseaux,
Pas loin, tremble un saule, sur l'îlot.
Faut bien dire qu'ça romance sur les rives,
Libellules en folie qui se suivent.

L'étang a figé ses drapés,
Brumes du soir, qui embrouillent les clartés,
Les poules d'eau en appellent aux canards,
Brumes du noir, qui endorment les têtards.

-----------------------------
Bam, dababam, papapa papam, papapapapam...
-----------------------------

Je me baisse en frôlant le clapot,
Transhumance des moustiques en troupeaux.
Je me baisse en touchant la morte-eau,
Le soleil se déchire en lambeaux

... and oups, I forget again : the pond samples are not mine. Found on Freesound.

You painted a vivid colours picture with this song.
I can't understand the words and posting the lyrics helps a lot 
I like the dramatic mood and sad atmosphere.
Technically speaking this is a very good work. Each instrument comes out of the mix really well.
Well done

Cheers

Once again we have a very different style.

Interesting use of the accordian. Is it real one or synth?

I like the mix of instruments overall, as well as the vocals.

[Daniel Pompougnac]

The accordion is 2 SF2 banks. I've listened some musicians and CD to understand this instrument (left hand, right hand) and write this song. The rythm is "pampoumpa, pampoumpa, pampoumpa"    .
Now, a friend is OK to play accordion for me. Nice.

Thank's for kind comments.

Daniel, Super song!

I can’t understand the words but the picture you’ve painted is fantastic.

Great production.  The blend was perfect!

Those were the best accordion SF2’s I’ve ever heard.

Very nice atmospheric piece. Accordion is well done. Good work.

I thought so to. The Accordian caught my attention immediately - I use to play in the school accordian band!

[Daniel Pompougnac]

Oh, you're a happy guy, Folderol. I like this instrument.
An old instrument, but so nice.
I should like to learn...

[Laguna Rising]

well done

A very nice song Daniel. The accordian sounds great - very authentic. The vocals are good (even though I don't understand the words) and the whole thing is very atmospheric. Great production too - every instrument sounds clear.

I am lucky, I can understand the words and I can tell you that they are as beautiful as the music!!

Superb, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for this pure moment of poetry.

I can listen to it in loop for long... I'm a Daniel Big Fan
