redtails | Raven's Jig - Scarborough's Piano @redtails | Uploaded December 2012 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
All these "soft"-tiered songs do make me long back for the film and trailer genre. This time, I'd like to present a historic song (Scarborough Fair) that we, at Raven's Jig's headquarters, thoroughly mangled up into a completely different contemporary song. I've told myself numerous times before that the Jazz genre doesn't really lend itself well for the process of reproducing it inside DAWs due to the unusual time schemes; though it somehow worked out fine in this occasion. Whether or not we'll ever do a similar jazz-like song again, no one can know for sure. Please enjoy this modern rendition of a rather ancient ballad!

Lyrics:
I'm a genie, said I to my love
Say your wish, I'll grant it for you
I want a mule with the wings of a dove
Worry not, nothing I can't do
Since I'm a genie with no powers
Had to travel up to the fair
Find a mule there and glue some wings on him
And with that we vanished into thin air
Took the mule back to my darling
Didn't seem so pleased by the view
You're here? Come on! You've got to be kidding
Can't you see I was toying with you
And from that day on, my mule and I
We've been traveling on and above
And sometimes in the night, I look down and I smile
For I thought that I had a love (repeated to the end)
