Beach of Bones

I see at last a beach of bones while sitting in the sand
Little coral skeletons are sticking to my hand
The beach becomes a cemetary baking in the sun
A pathway to e-ternal sea from which all life has come

We are land we are sea we are the air we breathe
With constant change we re-arrange be-come what we be-live
We are the past the living earth and love binds us to-gether
The sparkling flow the sunset glow of ripples in a river
And we go on for-ever

The bones of birds, beasts and men and fish that wash a-shore
Ground up rocks and shells and glass, wood and iron and more
These ancient relics call to us a secret sandy song
A promise we can join the potent brew here be-fore long

We are land we are sea we are the air we breathe
With constant change we re-arrange be-come what we be-live
We are the past the living earth and love binds us to-gether
The sparkling flow the sunset glow of ripples in a river
And we go on for-ever And we go on for-ever

Rich,

I never liked the 70's New age music BUT I did like this by you.
You portrayed very vivid images with your words, excellent.

A great way to start my day

Alyn

Good words and thoughts Rich.
Some interesting instruments and chord changes in this.
You are not afraid to experiment.
Good work mate.
Rob

Hello Rich,

As always you are producing some very interesting lyrics here! You seem to have a different angle on this every time, which is very original.
The flute works very nicely in this song.

Hi Richard,

I found this song a very interesting walk along a pathway filled with a kaleidoscope of images. The key change took me by surprise! I think it's great how you experiment and invent so freely. The way I see it, that's exactly how music should be. I always look forward to seeing what you bring with you when you post.

All the best,
Noel

Richard,

I like everything about this. Good write! Good arrangement. Good mix.

One of your best!

Beautifully done Richmac!! Some wonderful lyrical images and the music fits perfectly-love those electronic flutes. This is my favorite of yours so far! Take care. Greg

Floyd sums it up nicely for me too. Plus 1...

Charlie

Hi Richard,

interesting lyrics again, very strong images.
The flutes give it a Beatlesque touch.
Enjoyable listen.

Hi Alyn.
Am delighted that you enjoyed this one.
There is an old photo of our most popular local ocean beach littered with skeletons.
Probably buried in the sand over the last 1000 years and left uncovered after a big storm.
Got me thinking that the earth is really just a big recycling plant. Cheers.

Hi Rob.
Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah. Buzz bass again set off against electro flutes.
Lovely toys we have to play with. Cheers.

Richard, Nicely written lyrics. A couple of nice chord changes that set a different mood. This is so original and the longer I listen the more I like it. Really good job. Tom

"With constant change we re-arrange be-come what we be-live"

What a cool thought provoking line.

We enjoy and look forward to your experimentations
and this one raised the bar.

Nice

J&B

Hi Rich !

Your lines are always
very thought provoking
as can be expected from
the master lyricist that
you IMHO are ! This tune
really got me thinking
of our short journey on
this planet !!!

Cheers
Dani

Hi RnAM.
Glad you enjoyed this and yes i really like the flute sound.
Thanks for commenting. Cheers.

Thanks Noel for the kind comments.
I wish I had your lyric precision!
When I start a song I seldom know where it's going so get a surprise too.
Cheers.

Thanks Floyd.
You are most encouraging and supportive.
Am delighted you enjoyed this.
I almost didn't post it but am now glad i did.
Cheers.

Thanks a lot Greg.

I am surprised that this has been well received.
Just goes to show I have no idea what others enjoy!
Cheers.

Thanks Charlie.
Your positive encouragement is appreciated. Cheers.

Thank you Guenter.
i wish i could do more of that Beatle psychedelic kind of thing.
Glad you enjoyed this. Cheers.

Hi Tom.
Brilliant that you like it!
Happy listening. Cheers.

J&B Thanks for those lovely comments.
It was a great big melting pot type theme and I enjoyed writing some lyrics I actually believe in for a change. Cheers.

Hi Danny.
Good to see? you again.
I must check out more of the user showcase (to check your emotional temperature).
Have been busy trying to get started on the 50/90 challenge.
Started half a dozen songs but haven't finished them.
Best wishes and thanks for your generous comments. Cheers.
