The tender hoax (16/23-05-2021)

Recently, I was on a train and decided to record a composition based on already written poems.
This melody was put aside for some time and suddenly it sounded in my head. It was a piano, flute and a guitar.

Some people take risks for love, usually women. It is very miserable and sad, because love is a tender hoax. But … This is life, it is unpredictable, and it hosts no mistakes of others, but your own, bitter and sweet. So, go on, reach out your hand. There will be the light at the end of the tunnel – the only true value – HONESTY. You will surely touch upon it some rainy day.

But for now, go on, have your own sweet mistakes.

Here is a bit of the main and chorus with a piano, guitar and a flute as the melody lead. The key is likely to be changed.


The tender hoax.

Key of Dm

(intro) 1-8
|C-Dm|C-Gm|Bb-C|Bdim-Am|
|Em-Dm|C-Gm|Bb-C|Bdim-Am|

(main) 9-16

I wait for the day |Em-Dm|
My rainy and gloomy |C-Gm|
With chills, in the gray |Bb-C|
That constantly sue me |Bdim-Am|

By tireless waving |Em-Dm|
Which drives me astray|C-Gm|
I’m desperately craving |Bb-Gm|
Your honest display |Bb-C|

(break) C 17
(chorus) 18-25

My fearless gladness F
A poisonous snake G
My elegant blackness |Am-Em|
Your glared mistake |Bb-C|

Is always a puzzle F
To bitter my heart G
Why treacherous hustles |Am-Dm|
Mine, prudent and smart |F-G|

(break2) G 26

(break intro) 27-34
|C-Dm|C-Gm|Bb-C|Bdim-Am|
|Em-Dm|C-Gm|Bb-C|Bdim-Am|

(main) 35-42

I’m risking it all
The white, into black
Do quieten the hall
Of orderly stack

Of wishes, your pleasant
I seem disapprove
With mind, effervescent
To blacken the move

(break) 43
(chorus) 44-51
(break2) 52

(bridge) 53-60

I seem to have changed |Am-C|
Now’s tender a hoax |Dm-F|
I’m something estranged |Gm-Bb|
With feverish hopes|Bdim-Am|

I try to live on |C-G|
Awaiting for you |Am-Em|
To burn you along |Dm-F|
With my love untrue |Bdim-Am|

(break) 61

(chorus) 62-69
(chorus) 70-77


Today 23-05-2021, I have finished this composition.

I was looking for which photo to use for the official cover. The theme of the composition is very complex and contradictory again. I don’t know why I write this way. Perhaps my soul is not very harmonious, but contradictory. Once I saw a tree on which hearts grow. The picture is from Vienna. The city, I love.

Recording is often difficult for me because of the balance of instruments, vocals and high or low frequencies. I hope that the quality of the recording will not affect the perception of the melody and harmony. Thank you very much for your interest.
