Goodbye my friend tells a story of an old man, togehter with his friend and his love, accompany him on his last journey. The track is based on some lyrics I wrote while composing:
Goodbye my friend goodbye.
My time has come. You don’t need to cry.
'cause one day, I promise you
we’ll be back together.
Goodbye my friend goodbye.
It hurts to say that i have to go.
My dear friend never forget,
I’ll be there for ever.
Good bye my love goodbye.
Let me close my eyes and
kiss you once more.
Stay with me until my dream
of you and me is over
Good bye my love goodbye.
I did my time and gave all to you.
So if this is my last breath
we‘ll take it together.
Sounds great! I would be curious to hear what it sounds like with vocals singing the lyrics. It sounds like the melody fits with the lyrics from what I hear. In that scenario the cello could be a harmonized or counter melody line supporting the main melody.
Really liked this one. I think you’ve captured the feeling very well and I like the poem that goes with. It’s really interesting to see so many different interpretations of “sad”; tragic sad, angry sad, hopeful sad. I think this gave me a feeling of peaceful sad, and maybe had a bit of a lullaby sense to it. Good work!
Good job Michael. It sounds like a Vangelis echoed song.
Personally, I don’t like how drums fit here.
It is a like melancholic and hopefull dream. I love it.
Thank you so much Vincente, @VSHDEL
the idea with the drums came from a military funeral march, thats why they are in here.
But they should be processed a bit more, i am about to try things out acutally
