Title: Forever Entwined (Casia/Yolande/Steffan)
Post by: Casia - lyricist on September 11, 2012, 05:32:14 AM

See Steffan's post (a few up) for the latest version.

This is a song that was started 2.5 years ago, a rough demo by Yolande.  I could not find anyone to help us out with it so a couple of days ago I asked Steffan if there was anything he could do with this rough vocal to make it sound descent as I really liked this song.  Well, I think he made it sound more than descent, what do you think?  I'm calling it done.

Forever Entwined   
Casia - Lyrics
Yolande - Composition/piano/vocals
Steffan - Mix

(V1)
I've paid my dues
Tonight will be like no other night
The wine is chilled
And I can feel you standing close to me

(V2)
I think of you
And every smile leaves me breathless
I taste your kiss
I'm on a flight through the sky

(Chorus)
Tonight
Everything changes
Tonight
We'll be together for all time
For we are more..more than a lifetime
Yes, we are more, more than a lifetime
We ARE...forever entwined
Forever entwined

(Bridge)
Please forgive me, I had so many doubts
I didn't know what true love was all about
Life seemed so simple
Never wondered why
Life seemed so simple
Until I saw the twinkle in your eye

(Chorus x 2)
Tonight
Everything changes
Tonight
We'll be together for all time
For we are more..more than a lifetime
Yes, we are more, more than a lifetime
We ARE...forever entwined

Forever entwined
We are forever entwined

Thanks for posting this, Casia!

I love the song too, I only wish the vocal recording was of a much better quality. I did try to improve it some more, but the possibilities are very limited. Here is my latest attempt - which I consider to be the final version. It still has a lot of audible artifacts and ugly resonances, but I think it's at least better than it was.

Regards,
  Steffen

Beautiful song and a great singer. Neat production Steffen, simple but very effective. Love the lyrics Casia, hit me in the heart.

Mick.

Thank you for listening Mick, I've always liked this song.  Yolande has just sent a new vocal sep, yahoo, so now Steffan can make it perfect. 

Thank you Yolande  :)

Thanks, Mick!

Ladies, I'm afraid we have to stick with this mix. The new vocal recording is even worse - there are lots of clicks and other serious technical issues on the tracks. Impossible to fix that.

Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.

Regards,
  Steffen

Please do listen to my latest mix (the one I attached to the thread) though - it does sound better than the one you posted, Casia.

Regards,
  Steffen

Oh, it does sound much better.  I've deleted the mp3 from the first post.

Thanks so much Steffan  :) :)
