Passionate Surrender

More three part solo. This time even the melody is improvised. The lyrics are a poem that caught my eye online. (link inside) The poem is "Passionate Surrender" by Pauline Hamblin I was looking online for poems I could write a guitar part to and found this one. I ran the microphone while I hummed a few guesses at a melody and didn't think anything about it. When I listened to what I had recorded the next day I decided to do another A capella piece Its still the laptop microphone, but I think I'm getting better about killing the white noise.

Another nice one.

Do you work out in advance how the harmonies will work, or do you just wing it?

Thanks for the kind words.

I kinda just wing the harmonies as I go. I used to look at lyrics to songs I didn't know and make up melodies. I did the same here, except it was just a poem. The harmony just seemed to fit on top of it.
