Love on Paper – coop w/ Duhsjaak (Gus)

HomeAudio & VideoLove on Paper - coop w/ Duhsjaak (Gus)
Summary:
I got invited to do a coop with Gus who I want to thank for pushing me out of my comfort zone. I’m no professional singer but that is my voice with some tuning and reverb added in. Hahaha I’m in the mind frame of trying it at least once!! And a shout out to my son Ricky for helping with the whole process.

Every day, every second
beats alive in my mind
when I’m far away from you    
when I’m far away from you
constant moments on rewind

enough to fill miles of clouds
with happiness and  
Valentine’s Day rain  
Valentine’s Day rain.  
kissing me everywhere 

so today I decided to send you love 
so today I decided to send you love on paper

on a lonely February day    
reminding me I’m loved  
waiting for us to be together    
waiting for us to be together    
I feel you everywhere 

my marooned heart 
shines like to moon for you      
casting whispers of light    
casting whispers of light   
into your bedroom window 

so tonight I decided to send you love.    
so tonight I decided to send you love on paper

sending you vivid dreams    
of how the night has short curves    
and breathes falling stars
and breathes falling stars
that traveled 51 years

searching until they found you  
in a blaze of blinding lines    
that turned into vapor    
that turned into vapor      
adoring you forever 

so tonight I decided to send you love.  
so tonight I decided to send you love on paper    
send you love on paper    
send you love on paper

    • Chère F.,
      This was the coop I was telling you about.

      I hope you listened with as much fun as A. and I had while making it.
      On the SoundCloud version (identical version) I thank Ricky as well.

      Also on behalf of Adelphina, grateful for you listen and comment!
      Warm regards, Gus

  1. Chère A.,
    Hope this finds you well?!

    You see, it’s not half as scary as you may have thought I guess.
    There’s a first time for all fun and harmless things, and this is such a thing. Kicking some ideas around with a very happy sounding outcome!

    I simply loved the whole process. I am grateful for you having done this coop with me. And extra grateful for children who support the quirkies of their parents. And a very nice touch of voice doubling on the chorus.

    I love it from the first to the last second! Until we’ll meet again… electronically (to prevent gossip – there’s not a first for everything I think). Wish your first song published Tuesday will sound as happy as your voice.
    Warm greetings, Gus

    • Thank you for the invite and pushing me out of my comfort zone.
      I will never forget it, that’s for sure. Haha
      Ricky did great with me and as so patient! lol

      Thanks again Gus!
      Rock on buddy!

  2. Well, darn. I love how you are branching out in so many directions creatively. And yes, I smile every time you serenade me with this song. (hey thats what you called it!). Props to Gus and Ricky for their help. keep in mind that this is your first try at something like this, and it is not horrible! So don’t knock yourself over it, punk!
    And then this evening, you did another poetry reading in your town. Damn! I am so happy sharing your enthusiasm and energy. You are incredible my love.

    • Hoi hoi S.,
      The line between bragging and pride is thin. I choose pride. Grateful for your listen and comment.

      You, the reason A. set this up/wrote and sang it, Ricky who supported his mother, and me by the coop all have our role in this. And I love what is happening.
      The professionals who have listened so far, mentioned:
      – Velvet Underground and Nico
      – Early Jefferson Airplane
      – Early Blondie
      It can’t be bad if profs compare you with their heroes.

      A. has links and screen dumps of the comments.
      I envy her courage and love how this all developed.
      Happy Friday/weekend to you and A.
      Warm regards, Gus

    • Hey you!
      Trying something new is always scary for me.
      But you only live once and I had to do this! It felt wrong for someone else to sing those words.
      They are from me to you!
      So yeah. We all did an our best with this coop and I am very proud of how it turned out.
      And hey! It’s Friday!! I’ll be seeing you next week punk! Hahaha

      Love you babe

  3. Nicely done! Especially this line:

    sending you vivid dreams
    of how the night has short curves
    and breathes falling stars
    and breathes falling stars
    that traveled 51 years

    That gave me chills.

    Thank you for sharing

    • Hey chica! Thank you!
      I was terrified posting this, had a stomach ache and everything! Hahaha
      Turns out I didn’t have a heart attack so it all went great.
      My son has his set up in his room and helped immensely!

      I’ve also started going to open mic night for poetry in my community
      Now that almost gave me a heart attack!

      I love all of your music so thank you for the inspiration:)

      • I’m so glad you posted it! I’ve been checking in every now and then after you told me about it. Can’t believe I almost missed it… 😓

        Ooh open mics for poetry? I don’t even have a clue if that’s a thing where I live.
        That sounds awesome! I might have to research that.

        I’m so happy you like the music I post 💕
        I could never sing though 🫣
        Respect to you! And your son!

  4. As we would say back in the day, “I’ll give it a 99.8. It’s got heart, it’s got soul, and a beat you can dance too.” So where can I get the album?? Tell me there’s an album. Way to go Adelphina, Gus and Ricky. Rock On!! -Curt

    • Hahah! Thank you Curt!
      This was quite the opportunity to do a coop with Gus.
      Never in a million years did I see this coming. I’m so glad I saw it through.
      Thanks again for the awesome comment!

  5. @anyone doubting the power of coops/update
    Posted on StarsRite And SongUTD (very very small forum) but still 66 listens.
    Plus posted on Gitaarnet.nl/forum.
    The counter there says 245, so a steady 20 people (musicians) per day who come to listen to this.

    A very nice way to start a new week!
    Kind regards, Gus

  6. Hey, I just found this, it’s not bad. Your voice sounds pretty good for someone who isn’t a professional singer. Better than I anticipated. I wouldn’t mind hearing another one in the future. Great job, Adelly!!!
