It was generated through the Cakeawalk Pro Audio “extract rhythm” function performed on radio static…

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
This was written after an incident in the early morning hours as I was waking. It wasn't really a dream but the whole thing came to me as the lyrics tell.

haven't done a song that was laid back in a while, no fuzz, no distortion.
this is sort of a laid back prog song about a woman in, or your dreams that made an impact at the time, though she was never really there.

An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
!!! Absolutely genius! Love those orchestra elements - unsettling, compelling, bold, brilliant!!!
You have become an electronic mad professor - I like!
Supercool!
Love the haunted windchimes intro - and then the follow-through keeps the tension! Very effective - supernatural!
Space-age and marvellous!
That's pretty intense.

Nice!

That was really well done. I like it!
Loaded with lots of MeV! Excellent.
More cleverness! Very nice!
I enjoyed that. Oh, it ends abruptly!
