Anyone heard of Ilse Delange?
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 11:57 amHey all I have a story for ya...
Have you ever heard of Ilse DeLange? Well I hadn't untill last week. I found her new profile on Myspace. I saw that she only had 3 friends and could tell it was a new profile. I invited her to my friends and moved on.
After listening to her music, I fell in love with her voice and one of her songs "I Still Cry". You know when you have a song hit you just the right way...? Well, when I heard it, I pictured a woman sitting near her lovers grave and talking(singing) to him while she made paper flowers for him. I also imagined that her lover was looking down from heaven agonizing over her sadness. He could hear her but could not speak to her. He could only sing along.
I wrote a couple of lines and dubbed over the song creating a duet of sorts. Took me like 60 takes, and two days cuz all I use is a cheap-ass mic plugged into my computers soundcard. I dont have any editing programs or any of that stuff, so I had to get the mic level, and reverb just right. (still not great but not terrible either) I sent Ilse a message saying what I had done with her song, and where she could listen to it and waited.
So meanwhile, I am dying for her to hear what I have done to her song. She had not logged in in a couple of days. So im visiting her myspace again and I actually read her bio this time... this woman is a platinum album seller in The Netherlands! Ok NOW im nervous!! I had already sent her the song!!!
So for the past night I am like stalking my "sent" box to see if she had recieved the message, that I had posted her song on my Beta Records Site. Today when I woke up, I found she had recieved my message!
I have not recieved word back from her. So I think, she either has not listened because of lack of interrest... Woman is prolly used to over eager fans and stuff. OR she is about to slap a lawsuit on my ass for alterring her song and posting it LOL!!
I just realized that the profile I visited may not have been created by Ilse DeLange at all, but perhaps another fan.
...only on Myspace right?!
Anyways, I just wanted to share that with ya. If you want to listen to the " I Still Cry Duet", heres the link:
