fan-tribute short improvisation on "My point being" by Curt Smith

As you already should know Tears for Fears is my favourite bands as I always mention them in my interviews as one of my influences that made me want to become a musician.  I've been a devoted follower of this band in their past, recent and even in the solo works of their band members Curt Smith and Roland Orzábal.  The band is still there but they both have also some lovely and amazing solo work out there and Curt´s been pretty much active with his own projects these years. So  here is a little snippet/tribute of  the song "My point being" featured in last Curt's solo album "Deceptively Heavy". I only cover a little part and not the entire song which is longer. As you know I recently made a cover of "Mad world" as tribute to the anniversary of TFF (and they are re-releasing The Hurting so be sure to stay tuned in the official site  (TFF network is handled by Curt himself) but this time I wanted to share this humble and almost minimal (barely a few notes in piano and three vocal lines very much improvised)

So  dear Curt, I really hope you don't mind, this little tribute has been made as a  TFF fan I've been all my life,  but also as  an admirer of your own solo work too. It's just a small improvisation but I hope you get to listen to it and like it. Thank you deeply. 

These have been particularly sad and strange days for me (thinking on my lost father and the many questions I cannot understand and cannot ask him, about my struggles in life, and so many mundane things that have hovered over my head like a black cloud these weeks), so this song has become a good companion for me and I couldn't help to sit at the piano and improvise a little excerpt out of it. It soothed my soul

 

Please do listen to the original full song as performed by him and  buy My point being from Curt Smith´s bandcamp (or itunes) here and there you can read the lyrics too

Emotiva...se me hace un nudo en la garganta.

Primero escuche la original de Curt,voz deleitante y unica,lo cierto es que al igual que la tuya...y pense que seria dificil hacer un cover semejante en lo cautivadora que resulta.

Pero...es un fragmento de melodia cargada de sentimiento,fiel reflejo ademas,por como la interpretas,de como te sientes.Tu padre,en esas cuestiones de cosas mundanas y luchas,sigue ahi,respondiendolas a traves de ti,ya que portas parte de el,y es muy probable que vele por ti desde ese otro plano que no captamos nosotros.Una cosa es segura:estara orgullosisimo y lleno de amor hacia ti,esa es su luz.Una hija como tu es un tesoro.

Esta cancion tambien sera una compañia para mi,transmite algo a lo que curiosamente,aun no logro poner palabras,ya que es muy complejo lo que se fabrica en mi.Visiones conjuntas de mi vida,pensamientos...

Gracias por compartirla con tus seguidores,seria posible poder guardarla? o comprarla? No quiero dejar de escucharla asi pasen los años...

 

En sueños nada me impide llegar a la isla de San Borondón,La Encantada,trocito perdido de la Atlántida...si desapareces entre tu niebla despertaré.Mi espíritu galopa,sobre puentes de ramas,bajo un cielo de aguas nacientes,abrigada por el valor del viento

Thanks, 

I was really thrilled that Curt Smith himself retweeted about it when I released it and that absolutely made my day!  I keep on playing TFF songs in solitude, they were a major inspiration for me but also I love both Curt and Roland´s solo works, and this is one of my favs from Curt smith´s solo works. When my father died I had it frequently in my mouth
