Original Latvian love song, "Latvian Girl"

A Latvian girl has truly stolen my heart, but I could never let her know for various reasons. Maybe I will show her this song years from now and we will look back and laugh, but right now I value her as a friend, and I would never do something crazy like letting her see this song. I plan to record this soon. I will share the lyrics for below, and post the link once I record it. Anyone familiar with the Latvian solstice celebration and the Jani festival should understand the references in this song.

"Latvian Girl"


This girl from Latvia's got me
Praying to ancient Latvian god's of love
They say a Libra's heart is not easily won
But that's all Capricorn has been thinking of

I check my horoscope for fun
But I know she controls the planets and the sun

So I'll wait for the solstice at dawn
I'll bring amber and an alter to place it on
And if this takes more than sacred stones and gems
I'll plagiarize the angels hymn's

Beside the fire and the incese smell
I'm already under your spell
I check my horoscope for fun
But I know she controls the planets and the sun

And they say
The saddest words of song and pen
Are all the ones that might have been



Okay.. this is the link! I hope you guys enjoy this. I had fun writing/recording it.

It's a very nice idea, but I must say the performance is horrible.
May be just because of poor recording and really bad mixing.

Still, thanks for it. Very nice surprise! What inspired you for this song?

I recorded it again with slightly better production:
This is the final version of the song, except for the fact that I meant to say 'amber' at some point during the song. I am sure that some of you are familiar with the tradition of using amber during the Jani Festival during the summer solstice in Latvia? I did say "sacred stones and gem's" though, so that sort of references amber.

You don't have to repeat hyperlinks. It's enough to have just one the most recently updated media above. Imagine visitors coming to this site - they don't need to scroll down through tons of your updates. They need to listen just to the final version, right at once.

As about amber traditions - I think they are not really alive now. Amber is rarity and expensive. Drinking lots of beer on Jāņu night means you can lost them, so usually nobody wears such things.

Yes, it's a bit better production. Keep on

I think I know what Plomb was meant by saying it's terrible recording. By the way, I would say it stayed the same.

I think, I could say about it:

Pros -

+ very original lyrics, must be a hit in Latvia, if many people would understand English here. Perfect lyrics.

+ very nice motive, I mean the arrangement, accords and notes. Simple but yet effective and very sounding with the text.

Cons -

- absolutely poor recording. The voice interrupts in some places, and is overcompressed on recording. It's also very noisy.

- the guitar sound is recorded like on the kitchen. It also interrupts and pops in few places.
