Longest Love Song (Pre-Production)
Thru time, there have been so many love songs, and I wish that I could sing them all for you. It would be the "Longest Love Song."
Performer/Songwriter
Hey everybody! I'm Jerry Flattum, Performer/Songwriter.
The recordings you are listening to are in Pre-Production, a fancier way of saying "demo." I'm currently working on getting up the financing to re-record and master several recordings in preparation for commercial release.
Nothing drives me nuts more than knowing how these tunes will sound with new arrangements and a top notch mix/master. There's alot of color missing from the current recordings, but most of all guitar and backup vocals. Live drums and new keyboard samples will really bring the arrangement to life too.
Two of the songs feature "hired guns" (session players). Tim Thompson did the guitar and mix on "My Little Girl," a Country/Rock ballad. Thompson is a finger style champion and when he let's loose on uptempo rockers he rivals the best pickers I've ever heard.
Stephen Sea knocked out his own arrangement of "Best Place Around" and topped it off with some amazing guitar work.
Virtual instruments and sampling technology will be heavily used in the new recordings.
Once the recordings are finished, with sufficient financing and backing, I'm planning a global tour with a stage show that includes dancers, acting, stage design, lighting and costuming.
Story behind the song
To borrow from the the first line of the lyric, "Thru time, there have been so many love songs," and it's those songs that inspired the "Longest Love Song." Well, that and being terribly in love.
The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
LONGEST LOVE SONG
Through time,
there have been so many love songs,
and I wish that I could sing them all for you.
In rhyme,
a 1000 verses long,
I could sing of all the things I love about you.
It would be, THE LONGEST LOVE SONG,
and it might take a lifetime to do.
So I want to know, if you want to spend,
a lifetime with me,
and listen to me sing it all for you.
Each note,
as it dances through the memory,
brings us back the times and places we once shared.
We'll go,
beyond the broken dreams,
and no matter what, at least we know we cared.
It would be, THE LONGEST LOVE SONG,
and it might take a lifetime to do.
So I want to know, if you want to spend,
a lifetime with me,
and listen to me sing it all for you.
When you find yourself where you don't fit in,
hearing eerie laughter in the howling wind.
You listen closer, a melody,
sung by voices in harmony.
It would be, THE LONGEST LOVE SONG,
and it might take a lifetime to do.
So I want to know, if you want to spend,
a lifetime with me,
and listen to me sing it all for you.
