Our Love Is Here To Stay Subject description: by George and Ira Gerhwin |

I knew this piece but a few days ago I stumbled into it while browsing an Aebersold volume. Of course, I wasn't satisfied with the written chord progression so I changed it. I love this song and the lyrics too:
| Quote: | It's very clear
Our love is here to stay ;
Not for a year
But ever and a day.
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go !
But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay.
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibralter may tumble,
There're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay.
|
so I thought to record my version

Hey, those are fingers in use!
Very nice arrangement. You could add some reverb for the production quality, or not. I would have. Not a lot, mind you, but putting you in a bigger room would just make it more like a concert to listen to. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.
EGM: What does retro mean to you?
Parker: Like, old and outdated.

I dunno, I think Gershwin sounds best in a close, intimate setting, rather than in a concert atmosphere. It reminds me of those old movies where the pianist always gets the girl.
Very lovely, Seraph.
Cheers,
Scott _________________ My Site |

thanks guys
George's music is so charming and Ira's lyrics so witty, I just love it.
The sound I used has a tiny bit of reverb and being a fast song with "lots of notes" I thought it could get muddy adding it. _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube
