Robert (and Scott):

Very poetic write set to some pretty music. Love the harmonies here, Robert—very well done and artfully mixed. “A blind girl’s rainbow songs the deaf man hears”—wow, what a great line. Just a lovely tune, brought home by Scott’s terrific slide guitar solo. Excellent!

Happy Holidays, gents!

A beautiful song ..it’s a real tapestry of words and music. It reminded me of Don Mc Lean’s Vincent and all the incredible imagery. Well done..

Sweet tune.
Robert, your lyrics are a pleasure to get lost in. Excellent composition and vocals! Strings work very well. Neat slide guitar from Scott! Clear mix & easy listen. Thank you for sharing.

I needed Google on the lyrics, but from what I could understand it was just very nice.
But the way you pronounced the word "Earth" in Asylum Earth was very, uh... expressive!
And Scott, you had played a wonderful solo. I liked how you started the outro. Very nice dynamic you released.

So, I bet we will hear much more from you the next year!

Merry Christmas,
Hans


Hans,
I appreciate that you continue to listen to Spirit Level despite having to Google my lyrics!
Thanks for all the positives you found in this song.

I may not understand your philosophy veiled so esoterically in these outstanding lyrics (as you always write), but I know I am in total agreement with you, Robert. I'm also totally agree with the impact Scott brings to it. What a perfect voice he sings on 6 strings. Speaking of singing, dang, you sound terrific on this, and the harmonies are outstanding.


That`s very kind, Marty-yes, Scott really got into the mood of my esoteric write here!

I don't remember hearing this before, but your resurrection of the tune is justified! Lots of deep lyrics that paint wonderful word pictures! Good job Scott! Slide parts are hard to do without a lot of extra noise, but you got it done! Good job guys!

Thanks, T




Torrey,
As mentioned this isn`t a revisit of the original song, but a new song of the same name. Glad you liked it- thank you for commenting!

Thanks for listening, Floyd.

“grounded freighter tilting in the bay
refugees through moonlight wade
sacrifice their lodestone
feather on feather bone by bone
to give a child wings made new
in the impossible blue”

Great lyric and we enjoyed your philosophizing. smile

As always Scott's work and your choice of tracks well support the melody and lyric.

And we always enjoy a nice open mix. Excellent soundstage.

Happy holidays and best to you and yours!

Your lyrics are always good, but this has become my favorite. The "Elysium Green" stanza is the highlight for me. Instrumentation is quite appropriate with Scott's guitar matching the mood of the lyrics.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
