Calling Sister Midnight

New Website and now THIS is a blog!

Melody Elwell Romancito — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:23:02 +0000

I’m excited to announce a simplified website and structure which now turns this wordpress site into a blog — the way it is suppose to be. The new location: http://callingsistermidnight.com is actually a subsite of my alter-ego – aka Melody Romancito. I feature three songs, which I should be able to change as I need and that leaves this site as a great way to update you on new music and what’s going on in the world of collaboration, intelligent dance music and moi.

The Backstory to “Famous Last Words”

Melody Elwell Romancito — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:25:07 +0000

I wrote this song with my then-music-partner David Hale just after September 11, 2001. We were playing at a great little spot in Taos called The Western Sky Cafe. David had this great progression and I wrote the melody and the lyrics, thinking about what it might have been like for people on that day. I know it was how I felt.

So years later, I am making music online, collaborating with people in the Creative Commons. Recently, I posted a mix I made featuring sea gulls, and called it the Gulf Mix — for obvious reasons. then a couple of days later I get *this* mix back from someone calling himself “El Gambrero” and when I ask who he is, all I get back is, “I am musician from Russia.”

I made this video with free creative commons images and video. Thank you for watching and listening. http://melodyromancito.com or http://callingsistermidnight.com for more information.

Famous Last Words
(c) Romancito & Hale 2001

If I find myself at the end of the world
All alone and without you
Floating down the river to the sea
Gold sunset over me
Well, I’d have my speech ready
I know just what I’d say
My darlin … you know my famous last words would be “I love you”

And if I find myself on the road to heaven
St. Peter by my side
My life sketched out before me
all my sins and triumphs … I
I know what I would tell him
I know just what I’d say
My darlin
you know my famous last words would be “I love you”

Don’t be afraid to speak your love
Baby tell it where you are
you know you life is like a shooting star
shooting star a shooting star

repeat verse 1

Under the Speckled Sky

Melody Elwell Romancito — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 20:45:46 +0000

Here a new collaborative project with other users from ccmixter.org, Speck and colab — I call it “Riding This Train (Under the Speckled Sky)” because it reminds me of Yoko Ono’s “Fly” which was probably made 30 years ago.

Finally here!

My CD, “Collaborator” is finally here!
