Feb 2022 twinsies twinavatarchallenge acapella collab
@fearlessflight2014 :
This was created for the twin avatar challenge where I spotted that @mahtowin was also sporting a green saxophone avatar. She has already worked these lyrics into a collab with the marvellous @petemurphy but as Andrea mostly writes in German I thought I'd stick to the language I was most comfortable with. Thanks Andrea for allowing me to work with these beautiful lyrics.
@mahtowin: I am deeply impressed about your interpretation of my lyrics! What you created is amazing and I have to thank you for your beautiful vocals!
Under Mongolian Skies - @mahtowin
——-
flying high
flying far
above me
in deep blue -
eternity
flying high
Flying far
below me
a rider
without bridle
riding fast
riding free
following
the she-hawk
above
flying high
flying free
following
the sun run
we meet
in the kiss
of earth and sky
that’s where gods are living

Excellent vocals & harmonies... peaceful and pretty. Feels like flying.

This one works well too. That is the mark of a good lyric when it will work as part of a complex arrangement, but also, as here, just human voice(s) singing.
@hamiltonpoolhall Mar 2022
Why am I unsurprised it is so satisfying to hear you harmonizing with yourself, with nary an additional instrument in sight? I'm having to listen to this more than once to really appreciate all that's going on. Even if these lyrics are a translation, there's a beautiful poetic brevity to them; every stanza is worth calling out, but I'll settle for mentioning how much I love "we meet/in the kiss/of earth and sky/that's where the gods are living." This a cappella melody really conveys a sense of being suspended high above some empty, forbidding landscape.

Wow these vocals, I completely dig the harmonies here. Are you coming from jazz? Stunning lyrics, cause they are so compact and say everything. I'm happy how you captured this emotion musically. #ListeningSkirmish
@guatecoop Mar 2022
Wow this lyric is so beautiful and the acapella presentation/performance of them is its equal! I really wish that I could read German so I could get the nuance, but the translated version is just lovely, too. Excellent collab!
@elesimo Feb 2022
So beautiful, such a wonderful collaboration! This is such a great song.
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Stunning! Really really uplifting. And I can hear Trentham Falls in the background...
@gilhari Feb 2022
Beautiful acapella voice for some stunningly beautiful lyrics. The last stanza particularly; what a beautiful line. My god!
@dukemeyer Feb 2022
Awesome and wonderful! Great sounds, great moment!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Yup top class vox! A really nice clean lyric that is just right for this delivery.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Such vocal beauty. The note son she-hawk and sun run were amazing. Got me in the gut. This is what I love about singing! Let me know if I can ever do some singing with you!
@sheslin Feb 2022
Gorgeous vocals and harmonies. What a treat to hear such a pretty acapella song. Love the subtle sounds in the background.
