Here is a cover of a song that I always wanted to record, since when I was a child. It's "This Masquerade", originally written by Leon Russell in 1972. Most people thinks this song was written by George Benson, but his version was actually a (great) cover! That's why I putted his name in the title.

Everything's been recorded by me in my own studio, using only free plugins, vst, samples and free OS too (Linux)! ;-)
Only thing I used that's not actually free is the DAW : REAPER.

Mic : Blue Baby Bottle
Digital Piano : Kawai Mp4 (used here just as a master)


- LYRICS

Are we really happy here with
this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say

Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
from being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Everytime I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try

To understand the reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
from being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of weepin’ disappear
Everytime I see your face/eyes
No matter how hard I try

To understand the reason
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
