https://soundcloud.com/artwhimsically-yours/a-tall-tale-from-galata-by-muhammed-aqib-kamil-meThere’s a medieval stone tower built in thirteen forty eight where she told me I should meet her and she begged me “Don’t be late!” It was used for spotting fires back in seventeen seventeen but the passionate flames that we both shared was a heat it had not seen. I was labeled as a foreigner just a fool in Istanbul who had fallen for this Turkish gal but her father had strict rules Plus she also had six brothers who were built like Huge bronzed Gods and she told me they had found our plan from my texts on her I-pod But I chose to face the odds Even though her father had arranged a marriage she despised and I’d find my face all rearranged if I met up with these guys. In a town that they call Galata sneaking like a common thief to steal away with the girl I loved against her families beliefs. Down alleyways at the crack of dawn with just minutes to spare then suddenly I came Upon her brothers standing there. They must have seen my latest text that I”d sent her on her phone but I had set a backup plan and I was not alone Imagine all their great dismay when six of my best friends all lean and mean and ex-Marines came walking round the bend . Cause I had an appointment with no time for them to bash me so I left them to the devil dogs and jumped into a taxi. I had two tickets pre-reserved for an airport quite near by so I had the cab go quick and nab my girlfriend on the fly Her passport was in order thanks to smugglers that I knew So we settled in to first class seats and few off into the blue. Love can’t be stopped by any rules new or antiquidated A show of faith and force will do or usew a trick if you need mated Thus happily ever after we both shared our wedded life and she wrote her mother to comfort her saying she was a joyous wife. The moral of my story is Marry only who you want to don’t let family or friends dare sway you their decisions just might haunt you.

Hey MFB,
A very compelling and listenable tune. Great lyrics and a story well told.
Problem ? The vocal line is not "gelled" with the backing track. Good and compelling tune which needs production.to make it shine.
cheers, niteshift

Hey Niteshift, it is a learning process, that I am struggling with and gradually getting better. Production is in the works. but the brilliant writers of the music i work with are not as speedy as I am in getting it gelled. which is O.K. the songs are drawing hundreds of hits and some thousands all over the sites i frequent by listeners who enjoy music without a trained ear. Meanwhile it's back to the boards awaiting what's to come. Thanks so much for your comment.
