OceanAndSilence

lyrics to an old song that I haven't posted up here;

this is our holy grail
now so rusted and frail
since we dipped its hands
in the crimes of our past

skies turning red
alarms overhead
we had our say;
we are to blame

and, the stars will align, and form a new age... it's time for a change.

bright sunny day
children now play
past times are shed
as we look ahead.

succinct ramblings in confused precision. - still a work in progress.

this isn't done yet. I may add percussion and an "intense" bridge, which was the original plan, but I don't mind it being short and simple like it is now.

lyrics;

do you know who I am?
I'm an old soul.
I want to get out of this place, and
if you wish I'll take you with me.

no time for internetz, but time for songzes.

I know nothing,
I am but a fool
tempted in wily haze
and childish ways
remember
your fallen friend,
your muse
your perfect one
the one you loved?
passionately
in sobriety
that's all I need
all I need

and I thought I was wise, but
I was never the old one
or the young one
I was just the stupid son
and the currency
my parents earned in wages
was payed year over year
with their ages.
yet blaming the world
will bring no relief
'cause all my faults
were the point of grief

and no one no one no one knows
where the story goes
once the writer rests his hands
and then dreams in throes.
yet ink may drip from the quill
to form the darkest sea
on which the brightest ashes
could still spread freely.
maybe they would reflect the stars;
we'd count their numbers
with smiles on our faces
unemcumbered

this, this is my simple song
the one which I don't need to
wander through the throngs
of my faulty mind
and in time, and in kind
I'll find me, how I need to be
for you.

Your work in progress has your signature slow, relaxed guitar strumming. I think you are an Australian cowboy singing in the outback somewhere.

I loved the rich echos of the chorus you made of yourself singing with yourself on the "oo-oos," Ocean! Your harmonization with yourself is much richer in this song than in the others I've heard, and I like it. It sounds like at least 3 or 4 of you singing together!

My only quibble is with the high part when you use your falsetto...it sounds so piercing and high, out of sync with the eerie, plaintive "oo-ooing." Should I stop mentioning your falsetto? Every time I give feedback, I mention it! You know I prefer your non-falsetto voice...and I know you love it. So, we are at an impasse.

I really did love the "oo-ooing." A beautiful sound. Meshed well with the guitar, too.

thanks. I did another version of that intro plus the rest! also, I'm recording a song in which I don't use falsetto, it's actually the most simply structured song I've ever made, since the focus is on the lyrics. same prog as "in the aeroplane over the sea" by nmh.

here's a very rough demo of the simple song, even the volume needs some gain. lyrics are slightly different to what is posted above.
