Copying over from the contest page....
Listens appreciated & comments welcome.

Into the Badlands...with a little acid added to the rockabilly.
The surf guitar (@ half time) & harp are additions to the style.
A big struggle with the vocals here as I used Nectar2 for the first time & found my laptop quickly overloaded by the cpu requirement.

Style is _BADLAND.STY (Badland Baritone Rockabilly)

Nomad of the Heart

wouldn`t you like to ride
said the clown with toad eyes
ride around the mirrorball of heaven?
he took me by surprise
changing horses at the time
at the last 7-11

back then she was all the rage
a psychic doctor named Sage
chose me to ascend with the Master
it might have been the sun
but in her eyes I saw a gun
with one bullet in the chamber

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

I met a girl named Hourglass
it seemed strange but I let it pass
and for me she danced the whirlwind
I thought I`d found the promised land
when I saw her counting grains of sand
as around her room we`d spin

out below this big blue curve
there`s some truths you gotta swerve
the vultures are wearing suits and collars
but I don`t think the flood will wait
`til make all that`s crooked straight
and I gave that clown my last dollar

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

"the vultures are wearing suits and collars"

There are some really interesting images in this, Robert.

Cool title.

A good listen. The harmonica competes with the vocal in a few spots - you might pull it down in those spots...

Thanks for your comments, Floyd.
I had made a note about the harp levels and then didn`t go back to it,so I appreciate your heads up.

Bob,
Glad you liked it - not my usual style on the vocals, but I enjoyed trying to sound a little Dylanesque!

Really nice. Has a real Johnny Cash feel to it (if you had a deeper voice) smile

Like everyone has said, a lot of imagery here.

Enjoyed it.

Kenny,

Glad you liked it.
A few less guns than those movies, but I enjoyed writing some weirdness into the lyrics.

Thanks J&B,
I appreciate you saying the production sounds ok. The process feels like quicksand to me, but if I ever get out and have some time I`d like to try my hand at that video idea.

Music for the spaghetti western movie 'Harry Potter goes Back to the Future'.

I really liked this as I am big fan of SYFY and Fantasy books and movies. Great lyrics here as well as super backing tracks and mix.
