Elephant Eyes

By Cosmic Cairns on July 17, 2018 8:53 pm

I was scouring through my old folders of music as I sometimes like to do and I found this file from 2010.  All that was there was a sketch of the melody and the title "Elephant Eyes" so I thought I would flesh it out and add lyrics and instrumentation.  I decided to keep it entirely acoustic this week.  No synths or electric guitars.  Percussion was provided by a dried gourd I used as a shaker and a little bit of hitting the back of my acoustic guitar

Another beautiful dreamy song. Great theme and title. The tapping percussion is a nice touch (not sure if that is the gourde or tapping on the guitar).  Lovely!

  Thanks!  The gourd is more of a shaker-like sound whereas the tapping is the acoustic guitar. 

Nice work C.C... great vibe

Love the way the vocals slide into pitch. Who's doing the harmony?

  That would be me harmonizing with myself.  Nobody else but me on this track.  smile

I love this! For the vocals and this joyfull guitarmelody

We have real good weather and i feel like having holidays, i am working right now, and this song intensifies this summer feel. Thanks for that!

Cool laid back lyrics and vocal harmonies that lead into an uplifting guitar melody.  The gourd adds a nice touch to the acoustic feel of everything too.  Yais!
