Pretty Voices

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings before, so this was my first attempt at scoring. I also had had this melody line and lyric: “All my life!” floating around for a while that suddenly noticed it was meant for this song. Lastly, I love the name Adelaide, I think it is such a pretty girl’s name. So, she graces my song. Lastly redux: The final lyrics are intentionally super buried and quiet, since that tone was supposed to match the defeat of the subject singing to Adelaide.
