broddie is on a distinguished road
Default Broddie-Tromba D'Oro (a pseudo-Italiano Christmas)

This one's been kicking around my head for many years. I finally had time to finish the worlds and record it, although I wasn't able to do it in my studio. I did it in a motel room on my laptop (using the built-in microphone) in about 20 minutes. All I had was a guitar and a tambourine. I got some of the words wrong, but I think that the "first take" quality of this recording (especially the guitar, which was literally improvised on the spot) more than makes up for any mistakes. I'm not tracking this again before Xmas, so here it is, warts and all....you'll either love it or hate it!

Lyrics:

Tromba D'Oro (The Golden Horn)

When the whole town is kissed with a fresh fallen snow
When the Ice makes a star on the window
When the air takes a bite or your lungs when you breathe
There's not any time left for sorrow
Andiamo
come follow me as we ride as we ride
Bella Donna
by my side by my side by my side by my side
Luna Piena
on the snow covered ground
Tromba D'oro
Is my favorite sound

When I peer through the mist at the most holy sight
When my heart swells with honor and pride
As I bow my head low
And my lips touch the brow
of Maria my sweet virgin bride

Andiamo
come follow me as we ride as we ride
Bella Donna
by my side by my side by my side by my side
Infante Dolce
the world waiting to hear
Buon Natale
for the rest of the year

Default Re: Tromba D'Oro: Original XMAS song by Broddie...

There is something Christmasy about recording a song like this, with no apologies, using the built in mic in your laptop in your hotel room. Nice!

Obviously, there are some clipping issues, but I like what you've got here!

The performance is excellent!
