The Story
Warrior Music is the story of a warrior's thoughts and feelings put to music.
I hate saying goodbye, but I have to do it often. As a civilian male military spouse, moving is part of the lifestyle. While I enjoy moving tonew places and meeting newpeople,I find it very difficult to leave friends behind, especially since it takesme along time tomake new friends.
I heard the original song by Sergey Muravyev/Marina Muravyeva and I immediately wanted to do something epic with one of it's parts. I contacted Marina Muravyeva and sent her my interpolation.
Instead of sampling the original recording, I interpolated a musical part by playing it myself. I introduce this interpolated part in the first verse and bring it back throughout the track with different voices (instruments).
In my mind,I saw two pianos on stage forall of the music in this collection. The piano parts would be played on separate pianos - the low, repeating phrase on one piano and the melodic verses on the other.
The melodic piano parts are all improvisation (by ear). I just recorded what came to mind at the time.
Original Song: Goodbye My Love (New Version)
The Long Goodbye
This is a sad piano song about leaving and saying farewell to someone you love.
The haunting sound of the low strings is what I used as the starting point for building the musical canvas. The strong, straight, repeating nature of the orchetration is contrasted with my jazzy, improvisational piano play throughout the track.
A long goodbye scene is the vision I had while making this track. The reality of the relationship's end (goodbye) is hard, set and unchanging. This is reflected with a repeating low piano theme throughout the track. At the same time, the melodic, jazzy piano play attempts to provide assurances that this is not really the end.
What Does Goodbye Really Mean?
good·bye
exclamation
used to express good wishes when parting or at the end of a conversation.
synonyms:farewell, adieu
"Goodbye on the other hand, is profound. We say goodbye when we mean, God be with you and may your life be full of blessings; because we know that sometimes goodbye is permanent."
- Odyssey
There is a subtle yet simple difference between "bye" and "goodbye" in English. You say "bye" when you are leaving and you will see the person again. "Goodbye," however, is often understood as an indefinite parting, that it may be the last time you will see the person again.
