Description The backing music to this rendition was created by Mr. Mysterious. I was unable to determine whether this oldie was a public domain song or not ... and was unable to find any difinitive results .... but I wanted to post it so badly ... Mr. Mysterious gave me permission to use his beautiful rendition of the tune and I added my vocal to it .... so I post it not knowing whether or not I may be asked to remove it. All comments are so greatly appreciated and desired.

Lyrics Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind

CHORUS
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself!

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

CHORUS

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind

Wild is the wind (4 times)

Alannah said 270 days ago

Ziti ....
... truly ... you honour me way too much .... although I accept the flattery (blush) .... I was so inspired by this rendition that I couldn't keep my nasty little vocal off of it .... I only hope that I do your words TRUE by truly growing and getting better ... my recording and mixing skills are still lacking that "something" .... my singing skills ... well ... I have YET to record "what I do live" .... that's all I'll say on the subject ... but THANKS SO much for dropping by my tune after having such a HUGE nigh yourself my friend ... I actually wanted to BE THERE but lacking a passport and the timing made it a little difficult for me ... but ONE DAY my friend ... ONE DAY ....

Wild is the Wind
"Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiompkin and Ned Washington. The track was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. The song was very popular and was one of five songs nominated for an Academy Award; it was sung by Johnny Mathis at the March 1958 Oscar presentations. It was later covered by Nina Simone on the album Wild Is The Wind (1966). David Bowie recorded a version of it in 1976 for his album Station to Station. Bowie was an admirer of Simone%u2019s style, and after meeting her in Los Angeles was inspired to record the song for his album.

	wow lovely rendition .. enjoyed that particularily the 02:07-02:19 ... 12 second note, awesome. Mix is excellent too. /Alan

	droop said 270 days ago
	Alannah this is really something to be proud of. Your great vocal performance fits perfectly into this haunting soundtrack. Oddly enough I have never heard this song before, that I can remember. I can't imagine it being done any better than this. Excellent

	Kenta_and_Linda_Rocks_together said 270 days ago
	Lovely I think this is one of your best with a clean mix... And like you always do when you borrow a song you have fun and that you really shows in this one... Kudos

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Thanks you two .... ... this was probably one of the MOST fun for me to do cause I was just SO into the music .... some songs I struggle with trying to find the groove, so to speak - this one just got stuck in my head and wouldn't leave!

	Kenta_and_Linda_Rocks_together said 266 days ago
	Hey! I did a mistake I deleted my profile I was too drunk and depressed...hehehe I hope Simon can help me so I get the profile back. This one is for me and my lady I just use it right now. By the way I love this song. Take care -- Kenta

	Outtaorbit said 269 days ago
	Wild Wild as the wind..really nice

	peacepiano said 269 days ago
	Smokey Sounds like you are singing in one of those smoke filled lounges. Your voice controls the whole tune beautifully. Mr Mysterious provides just enough backing to make the sound complete. Great stuff. Thanks Bill

	said 269 days ago
	Soo Beautiful sung is this awesome song Allanah...your emotion is captured in a fantastic vocal part and made this song alive... wonderful.

	said 269 days ago
	way to go just gorgeous, alannah. i was particularly fascinated with "you're life ITSELF." your extension of that final word was just too delicious. i bow, i applaud, i THANK YOU, anne

	ValleyPastor said 269 days ago
	Fantastic! Goes on my "Favorite Love songs" playlist immediately! Since Mystified seems to have pegged it as "not public domain" I made sure to download before it goes to magnetic heaven. You definitely have one of the best voices on the site, and there are a LOT of good ones here. Still trying to find another tune worthy of your singing all over.

	Vic Holman said 269 days ago
	stunned dang Alannah, this is so chilling that i froze like a statue listening to your fantastic vocal performance. the music bed suites you to a T. So, it's a no brainer to realize why you would be eager to work with it. A real beauty, eh?

	lavalamp said 269 days ago
	Fabulous voice Seen you around and thought I'd check this out. I am not disappointed. You have such a great voice. I'll have to check out your catalog soon. LL

	Jim Bouchard said 269 days ago
	really great! I'm really unfamiliar with the oldie, but this seems to be an original take on it, you seem to own this song, such a nice recording and of course your expressive voice puts it across with a really great emotional (but under control) performance. Sounds at times like kd lang...

Leon said 269 days ago

Alannah...
I had the distinct privilege of being the first one to experience this magical song when you sent it to me shortly after you finished it like weeks (or is it months?) ago. I told you then that it was wonderful and your voice never sounded better. I had it in my ipod since that time, believe it or not. Glad that you have posted this for others to enjoy it as well!! Listening to it again here at Macjams just affirms my first assessment. This is your most awesome work thus far, in my opinion.

	Karmatoburn said 269 days ago
	wild is the wind Alannah, beautious. Mellow and soulful and for me, gripping :-) The sound bed was brilliant and you vocal sounds heavenly.

	timothy devine said 269 days ago
	Hi Alannah Let me say that this is just awe inspiring. Your vocal is quality. And so perfect is the bed, I can see why you couldn't keep away from it... Just great to here you singing in your element. That dark spooky bed is just so u. You rule girl...you just pour it on/ you make it sound so easy. tim

	Bad Smells said 269 days ago
	I hear... a lot more control in your voice. For a tune like this, that's a good thing. Yes, this is your best so far. Lovin the detuned moog that shows up here and there. Nice work.

	jiguma said 269 days ago
	Wow! Have always loved this song - mainly through David Bowie's version - this sounds amazing Alannah. I think this is one of the best things you've done in a very long while. You have a great set of pipes (and the backing's perfect for what you've done). I especially like hearing you in this controlled context - wonderful last note/s. Terrific recording and mix too. Love it! Neil

	Moviz said 269 days ago
	Such a sensitive feel for emotion in your vocals always. Your voice IS like an instrument and you play it so well in this very emotional song.... you really do it justice and the accompaniment too is blended perfectly, regards M

	bud said 268 days ago
	Haunting beauty great collab - your voice suits this really well and the backing is perfect.

drakonis said 268 days ago

Portishead?
Interesting and beautifully mysterious musical backdrop... and and so wonderfully sung. Definitely one of your best performances here. Although I love your over-the-top stuff, this is much more professionally controlled sounding, not in a sterile way, but in a confident strident way. Excellent. I only noticed one minor voice-overlap glitch in the edit, but it was so tiny it didn't really detract. So glad you treat us with this talent, Alannah, and special kudos to Mr. M.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	magnatone said 268 days ago
	Wild Your voice just blows my fricking mind! I love this song, and you've done the best imaginable job and bringing it forth here. Thanks!

	regulus said 267 days ago
	You've really progressed, especially with this one. Really elegant, feminine, sensitive and lovely. I like so much I'm taking it home with me. Don't be to concerned about your own musical bed. You make up the bed of others very well. Rember: It is the singer not the song. Mic Jagger sigh..........

	said 266 days ago
	Beautiful ITs very emotional . Kept my hairs on end.. Ten thumbs up!!!!!!!

	Alannah said 266 days ago
	Hairs on End .... YES ... those are the "chibbles" I was referring to in an earlier comment .... thanks for the hair raising listen and comment !

	Alannah said 263 days ago
	sorry Ego ..... .. but this comment somehow got stuck between two of my own answers and I didn't notice it ... but the ODD number gave me pause and made me look deeper to see where I mussed a response ... but YES hairs on END are a good thing ... it was what I was going for when recording it !!!!!

Warren Smith said 265 days ago

control freak
Those mandolins - they're so touchy : >

Your passionate, yet controlled singing does a superb job of bringing out the pathos of this song of longing. Your voice is a nice match for the music - I can see why you wanted to record it.

I have always thought the odd thing about this song is it flows opposite of what we think of as being wild - it is slow and controlled. But that is what heightens the tension. It is the struggle over maintaining control that makes it difficult - and yet so powerfully meaningful. You have pulled it off!

	Scott Carmichael said 265 days ago
	pathos with an undercurrent this is an incredible vocal performance... wow Alannah... this shows such an incredible range, not just in register but emotion... the best singers are actors, and you've really convinced me hear.... you've also capture such an etherial out of body vibe... and all along there is this pent up undercurrent of passion... stunning and compelling on several levels

	TobinMueller said 264 days ago
	Naked responsiveness Such a restrained European sound, and yet it is also as if you hold nothing back, have no self-consciousness, are letting you naked almost improvised lines float wherever the moment takes you. A unique sensuality/responsiveness audio concept. Great concept track. Like experimental jazz ballad. I wish more downtempo carried forward those jazz blues roots. Really good.

	Patman said 263 days ago
	Liquid velvet O, the aching, the longing, the abyssmal sadness. This is easily one of the most beautiful songs I have have ever heard on MacJams or otherwise. I am including you in my faves! Thank you sooo much! Patman

	Heightened said 263 days ago
	This is hauntingly beautiful. May you never take it down!

	ic42 said 261 days ago
	it is echoes of love it is a sensual song. it longs for a life that never happened. it is very touching and of beauty. the music and the singing melt the world away. your voice is an instrument of gold. it is lovely. 0x0

	saymme said 261 days ago
	AWESOME ...dont no what else to say . . AWESOME Thx

E-Frame Wrecker said 260 days ago

Another amazing MJ artist
I have seen you post on a few other songs I have listened to, so I decided to check out your page. This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful productions I have heard in a long time. One of the best pieces I have come across at MJ. The bkg music is superb and your vocals are sublime - I don't think anyone has used that adjective yet. Great production on the vocals.

Its really interesting that you don't have GB but can still make music.

	biba_nova said 260 days ago

I have that many takes on that one now- not sure where I am up to
half the time- i do not even know what time of day/night it is.

But the main thing is I absolutely love listenening to to other artist music and collaberations are sooo much fun. hee hee.
And recording my own music.

I also read that you love to listen to this nice song yourself
' Wild' and thought it wierd no it isn't !!!
Its your own unique beautiful sound creation that you also sang like an angel. I like the pic too.

My ' Smile haha has not been off my ipod on repeat for days and nights now. I do not know what it is about that one. But I find it so special. Anyhow Phew I can really talk for all England. Pity I am no singer but Gee you can really sing Girl! Go! Girl! Go!! lol

	rsorensen said 236 days ago

	guygrooves said 205 days ago
	Beautiful..... I'm really glad you stopped by Alannah I really enjoyed this tune, your vox are so smooth. Thanks for your visit. I'm off to listen to more.

	Alannah said 205 days ago
	Thanks guy ... ... it ocurred to me later ... that it wasn't my intent to "plug" my own tunes when I commented on yours ... hahahaha I just thought that if you "were" gonna listen .... to start with one of the better ones .... thanks for stopping by and taking the time to listen and comment!

	guygrooves said 205 days ago
	No worries One Canadian to another ..... it IS the polite thing to do ;o)

kassia said 186 days ago

never gets old
This was one of the first songs i listened to and downloaded when I joined MacJams. i thought I had left a comment, but maybe I hadn't figured that part out yet! lol....this is so brilliantly beautiful. So haunting. I listen to it over and over again. Just gorgeous - I love how the instrumentation cuts out and just lets your voice soar. Thank you for this. My favorite of your songs by far!

	BridgeCreek said 186 days ago
	Wild Nicely done Alannah - this has a feel of restrained abandon, opposites that attract.

	Char said 93 days ago
	Unbelievably wonderful. You are one of a kind. I love your voice! Thanks.

	vegetal777 said 59 days ago
	Talent WOW Alannah... wonderful voice performance. Excellent!!. This is charming. Congrats!.

	Alannah said 270 days ago
	Thank you so much .... ... actually I first heard this tune by (Mr. Mysterious) which he created for another singer. But I was so MOVED and inspired by the piece that I BEGGED Him to send me the instrumental and allow me to sing on it ... which he graciously did .... for this I am grateful because I LUV this song to death ! Thank you for your gracious comments.

	Alannah said 270 days ago
	Thanks Feter .... ... I'm not sure I have encountered a song here at Mjs that you haven't listened to and commented on ..... !!!!! Loyal member !!! There should be some honorarium or something for you !

	Alannah said 270 days ago
	You are .... .. aorable APB ... I'm sure that Mr. Mysterious is reading your comment about the (...um numbers thing .... which being a non-actual-musician myself .... escapes me) ...... thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment ..... did I mention that you were aborable ????

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Yes ... ... haunting indeed - and this one haunted me constantly while I was trying to get some of those notes just so .... I was singing it everywhere all the time (still am ... heh heh)

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Thanks Dirigent .... .... dreamy yes .... every weekend I listen to this one over and over (hahahaha kinda weird when you think about it cause it's me singing it) ... but that tune ... so alluring.

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Well now ... .. ya gotta just luv it when someone uses the word "superb" in the comments ... thanks so much.

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Gee ... ... stunning, wonderful and amazing ... WOW I am getting some fabulous adjectives now aren't I .... careful now or you might just swell my head .. hahahaha

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Thanks Outa ... .... always a pleasue to see you visit one of my tunes .....

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Actually .... ... it was my smoke filled basement .... with maybe a touch of beer thrown in for ambience .....

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Thanks Eagle .... ... from the first moment I heard this track .... the song was already "alive" in my mind .... I just craved breathing my own brand of life into it too .....

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	yes .... .. the line that required a lot of wind .... I actually had to do that one a few times cause I just didn't know how long I needed to hold that note and eventually it occured to me to just count ! hahahaha High praise indeed Anne coming from Sisters !

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	I've said it before .... .. and I'll say it again ... I would be honored to sing on another one of your tunes .... VP!

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Chilling ...... ... the word I chose was "chibbles" hahaha a cross between "chills" and "goosebumps" ... (dimples - pimples or bumples) ..... but it still gives me chibbles when I listen to it .... thanks for the listen and the comment.

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	My catralogue .... .. never quite thought of myself as having my own catalogue ... but I think I like it ! Thanks Lava ... your listen and comment is appreciated.

	lavalamp said 269 days ago
	You do have a catalog What's a better word to use than catalog?

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	I used ..... ... to listen to a lot of KD Lang back in the day (constant craving) may have been one of my inspirations .... although my original genre of preference was rock - I am finding I am quite enjoying the "crooning" and bluesy types of tunes that I have seemed to have done more of here at MJs. Thanks for the listen and comment ....

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Thanks Leon .... I always enjoy it when you visit one of my tunes .... knowing that you are a perfectionist with the tunes that you post, any praise I receive from you is high praise indeed ! (this might be slightly different from your IPod version ... I know I tinkered with one part a few times until I felt satusfied) ..... hope to catch you in chat sometime!

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Yes .... .. the sound bed was truly brilliant - and I can't seem to keep myself off of those beautiful brilliant pieces of music that other MJers create .... I wish I had the ability to create my own music bed ... but alas I am satisfied to sing on the fabulous creations of those more talented than myself .... thanks for stopping by and commenting -appreciated.

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	heh heh .... .... pouring it on ... like Maple Syrup .... I'm glad that you heard what I was hoping to achieve with this song .... plenty of euphenisms to choose from .... melting butter .... warm honey ... heh heh .... (does this mean I'm sappy??) ... thanks Tim - I always appreciate your support and kind words! Keeps me wantin to sing another one!

	Alannah said 269 days ago
	Yes ..... ... it's the control and the timing that I struggle with ... I just wanna belt em out ... and then it all comes out wrong .... so it's a good thing when I can find a song which forces me to test my ability to control .... and be patient a little (usually I start singing way ahead of the music)

	Alannah said 268 days ago
	Thanks Neil .... .... I struggled with trying to get just the right amount of "haunting" into it ... sometimes I tend to get ahead of myself and have a hard time just letting the words flow .... this truly was an exercise in control on my part ....

	Alannah said 268 days ago
	It is interesting .... ... because the voice is an instrument ... (mine sometimes needs to be tuned tho) ... hahaha thanks for listening and commenting ....

	Alannah said 268 days ago
	Thanks Bud .... .... I was hooked on this one from the first moment I heard the backing track .... and it is still stuck in my head ....

	Alannah said 266 days ago
	now of course .... ... I gotta find that "glitch" hahahaha truly tho .. you are too kind to me Drak .... always so supportive in your critiques and kind words .... I think everyone needs to have a dragon somewhere in their life !!!!

	Alannah said 266 days ago
	Well .... ... aren't you just too nice to me !!!! My next quest ... to attempt to try out a couple of Ella-type tunes ... hmmm big aspirations huh !

	Alannah said 266 days ago
	Hmmmm ... bed hopping you say ??? hahahaha so glad to hear you liked it enough to want to download and listen again ... that to me is the highest form of flattery ... the downloads ... thank you for your kind comments

	Alannah said 264 days ago
	One man's mandolin ..... ... well being "wild" with respect to the "wind" ... well maybe "unpredictable" as wind has been known to be .... OK what the heck am I talking about then ...... thanks for the listen and comments !!

	Alannah said 264 days ago
	For me .... .. there is nothing quite like a "passionate" song ... I hope I can do future tunes justice after reading all the glorious comments on this one .... thanks for your kind words .... (and this one didn't even have panties in it) ....

	Alannah said 264 days ago
	I too .... ...like a tune that has a bluesy/jazz sound to it .... I think I made a reference in a comment above about the Ella style .... (if only I could do THAT now) .... the European sound hmmmm maybe (Marlena Deitrich?) .... thanks for stopping by and giving this a listen and taking the time to comment ... always good to hear from you!

	Alannah said 263 days ago
	Liquid Velvet .... Thank you so much for your kind words ... I am honoured .... if I had my d'ruthers .... all my songs would be similar to this one .... my attempt here was to hit ya in the soul !
