June OSAM, ellll, Distant Cry

[ellll]

Hello Friends..... Well......

Here is my song for June..., for Guitar, Piano and Strings. The name is likely, self explanatory ... and it is,
.., to me, a new beginning..........

It appears it will likely be my last entry, as many things are conspiring to derail the train.. as it has become a car...and I will be traveling and working for a good time yet.... (traveling, anyway, with my wife...)

I hardly know how to part from you .., yet, I WILL be in and I humbly ask you to forgive me for my flagging support at this time... But to attempt to make the year this way would be a mistake and cause undue problems for my wife and myself...

Feel free to comment on this in any way you choose... And remember .., my heart will be with you... Always!

My most Sincere regards to everyone... whom I have spent so much time... and joy in knowing...

Johnny...John....(ellll)

I think this is just beautiful, and I will miss hearing more of these. Your songs every month have brought me such enjoyment and inspired me to no end. Here's to a great travelling time and do stop in when you can.

This is beautiful, inspiring and engaging. I even had to wait for it to play all the way through before I could start writing.

Technically, I can't fault it, save for the mixing of the strings and guitar - the strings seem to clash with the same frequency region of the guitar, unfortunately, making it difficult to tell which part to listen to. The piano was a nice surprise to hear towards the end.

I too find it disappointing that we won't hear anything like this from you in the future (despite the fact that I haven't heard many of your entries, having only started OSAM this year), so I wish you luck with whatever direction your life will be taking!

Hi John

As always, your music is very inspiring, and beautiful. For me this song captures that feeling of being on a journey, maybe in a plane, above the clouds with the sun just rising, and that mixture of nerves and excitement before arriving.

Hope you enjoy your travels, on terra firma , and that you will let us know when you get back.

Regards from
Dee

I wish you all the best John, I'm very sad that you won't be blessing us with your music anymore, I'll truly miss that, but life does go on.


Your song is very beautiful, as always, I'm so impressed with how you create such emotion with your music.

Thanks for all the pleasure, and travel well.
Regards,

Hi long time I don't post here... since everyone have already say this track is amazing I won't (even if I think this too). The only thing I would change is the eq of the guitar, I would give it more air boosting the high frequencies.
regards, Lorenzo
p.s. did I say this track was amazing?

Hi ellll, I'm gonna miss you mate, your comments were so inspiring for me, it'll be sad not to see you on the forum, but life goes on.
'Distant' is a beatiful song and worthy of a mention in any musical language in the universe!

ellll, there is no distance between friends and family in our hearts and in our minds.

I enter again to thank people .. and for another reason as well. To leave my name in one place now and maybe more later...

Many spoke of travels.... inc privately ...when I left...

Thanks to them many times over..! Most of mine were from my home .., up into : Alabama, Georgia .. and down into the central parts of my own state, Florida..., after a "medium"tour across the USA...

*None were by air, Dee....., Above the clouds is a place I have NEVER been.... but I am ready now, I think ... It could be worth it to me to be brave enough to get into one of the d--- things now... "Time waits for no man"

Soooo Who know's ...

But one I know.!! Should another OSAM ever start... SOMEONE let me know ... for I miss it most days in some way..!!

Your friend ALWAYS... ellll (John) (Johnny)
