Sajjad Taherian - Mix
(Intro: Sung softly)
Oh unicorn
Unicorn
Oh unicorn
Unicorn
(V1)
Chain me to a pomegranate tree
Surround me with all your ecstasy
Oh what treasures do you bring
A white horse ... without his wings (backup: Oh, unicorn...oh, unicorn)
(V2)
We're surrounded by a wooden fence
Does our future make any sense
Will temptation be your fate
A broken heart the first mistake (backup: a big mistake)
(Bridge)
Believe in me
I believe in you
The legends tell me
What to do
If I rewrite the books
You can live in peace
Where no one looks
(Chorus 1)
Ooooooooh
Unicorn, what do you see
Are you real or fantasy
Evil men they fear your horn
A drop of poison, I'm reborn
They want to hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Oh, unicorn (backup: unicorn, unicorn)
(V3)
I'll ride you far from this place
A palace of kings
Where true love doesn't mean a thing
Your secret language has been forgot (backup: language been forgot)
Ancient wisdom tied up in knots (backup: all...tied up in a knots)
(Bridge)
Believe in me
I believe in you
The legends tell me
What to do
If I rewrite the books
You can live in peace
Where no one looks
(Chorus 1)
Ooooooooh
Unicorn, what do you see
Are you real or fantasy
Evil men they fear your horn
A drop of poison, I'm reborn
They want to hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Oh, unicorn (backup: unicorn, unicorn)
(Outro)
Oooooooooh
Unicorn, they'll hunt you down
Til there's only one to be found
Your precious iv'ry horn
Becomes a rose that's been dethorned
Oh unicorn ...

Solid rock number, nice dreamlike quality.
Good lyrics, great singing and enjoyed the dual guitars. The track sounds tight.

Thanks Andy, we just finished the song a few days ago. Elppa Records loved it and it's currently playing on community radio in Ontario near Haliburton "cottage country".
-
This song turned out wonderful Cas.. Thanks for allowing me to play too. (AND for finding such great musicians for the piece).
Got links to the radio stations it's getting aired on?
EDIT::: I'd like the wav of the mastered file please.
-
I'll find the link and send it to you - hmmm, it's buried 100 e-mails deep somewhere - eeeek! I need to start a post in my forum for promotion like this.
I imagine the final wav is in the project. There would not be a mastered one per se, just the last one in the project.
-
I was just wondering around and came across this one. The whole thing works well - the subject of the lyrics, the melody and vocal, and the piano. Love it!
-
Thanks Benny, I was quite pleased with the outcome on this one. I do like writing mythical ballads, I should do more :)
-
I do like writing mythical ballads, I should do more
Agreed.. just FIND me for drums when you do Cas!
There would not be a mastered one per se, just the last one in the project.
Well Hopefully thats the mastered one then! The mastered one (FINAL MIX) is the one that gets the radio airplay... Hopefully!
-
Yes, the final mix is the one that gets airplay as far as I know!! Christina was looking after sending the files to Elppa Records.
I didn't quite understand this message, it may just be grammatical that is confusing me: "Just FIND me for the drums"??
-
Look me up next time you write a song like this one.. I'll do the drums Cas. The "FIND me" phrase is referring to the fact that you collaborate at a LOT of sites, I may have no idea you have another song in the works, cause it's prolly on another site.
You can always FIND me here. thats all.
-
Ahhhhhh ... will do, thanks. Ehsan does have one of my lyrics that he's playing with now, not sure when he'll post.
I'm currently writing a lyric for Sajjad as well, not sure if he'll post it anywhere though or if he's just working with it in the background with his crew. It's a fun upbeat love song. They both make great music.
-
Amazing quality. The harmony guitars are soooo good!
And drums are really cool here.
Great song.
-
Superb song and performance by everybody!
The mix needs more work IMO (especially the vocals), but that may just be a matter of taste (or my cheap PC speakers fooling me).
Great listen anyway. :)
Regards,
Steffen
-
Cool Tune all ;) ;) ;)
-
Great production and a very catchy toon!
-
Thanks for all the kind comments. I'm very happy with how this one turned out.
What are you suggesting Steffan on the vocals? I'd like to hear what you're thinking.
-
Beautiful tune guys.
Welcome to the top-100 playlist on my iPod.
Guitar player is from Iran. Amazing.

Thanks Peter, I'm honored to be in the top 100 - can I promote that ;D ;D ;D
Yes, he's from Iran - a young 20 something. He was going to do a bunch more of my lyrics but I believe he got involved with school - imagine that :D.
The mixer is from Iran too. Another young guy. These two guys have some cool tunes, I like their style. This song is currently playing on some community radio channels in Canada and the USA. Guess I better get my butt in gear and start adding songs to SOCAN. I only have one song on there - it's a lot of administrative work - such a pain.
