I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am the alien that no one can find. I am the void, provocateur divine self-luminous alien not of this world radiant invincible eternal gold The mind is a computer that needs a programmer but I am not the thinker I am not the thought but that which over eons, many seekers have sought infinite light no enemy can thrwart These feelings are a compass That guide me on my path but I am not my feelings Nor the one you see Deeper than a wise soul, from planet Real 3 Primordial, absolute and free formless then taking shape but unchallengable nameless alien unfathomable numinous mysterious coming foretold wonderous alien bringing peace to this world Ready and thankful for your comments...

Beth,
I like this. Interesting and clever lyrics. Great vocal and a great mix. To me, it has a bit of a Bowie-esque vibe. Really nice.

Beth, didn't see this coming...LOVE it! Super write, vocals and harmonies. You've quickly developed a nice feel for BiaB instruments. Very creative use of the BiaB male ooh RealTrack, too. Nice one!

The BIAB vocal part did give a slight alien edge to the arrangement.
Nice vocal, nice harmony/bvox too.
Well done.
Cheers

Hey !
Excellent! I love this originality. I listened to other songs on SC.
Well, one of my favorites is “Something to say”, just piano-vocals. Subtly delicious. I'm your disciple!

Beth this is a very clever song!
Great vocal and backing tracks.
Super mix
I am a big SyFy fan so this is right up my alley!
IMHO this is your best to date.

"Okay, it's weird. Like me!" Now, there is an invitation to some special enjoyment. You never fail to write and produce some weirdly fun music, Beth. I really like the stuccato-like melody. My first listen was all about the music, and I loved the whole production --even the fading echoy ending. WOW!!! I absoluetly love those lyrics --where they take me and what they suggest. Philosophy is a wonderfully fun subject --especially for weirdos like us. Beth, I hope you don't mind, but I copied these lyrics to really delve into them.

IMHO this is your best to date. Thanks, Mario. Glad you like it. I actually saw a UAP once with my partner driving to Paris at 5AM in the morning. Pretty cool! Hi, Beth. Lyrically not my cup of tea. But nicely mixed and sung! Hi David and thanks for listening even though it wasn't your cup of tea. I appreciate that. Very imaginative and interesting lyrics, Beth.

From one weird philosopher to another, I don't mind that you copied the lyrics to study. In fact, it's a compliment. FYI, Real 3 is actually a teaching about our perceptions of reality. We are born into the world, Real 1, and are subject to conditioning by our parents, teachers, society...etc., etc. If we have a spiritual awakening, we enter Real 2 and begin to question everything we've been taught. Real 3 is a full awakening, a realization of what we are not and an experience of who we actually are. In case you wondered...lol.

Another great song with lyrics I relate to. And I thought I was the only person to us the word 'numinous'! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

That is a thought provoking mystical lyric.
The session guys and and your vocals are very good.
And the BiaB male ah’s have just the right sound for the ethereal vibe.
The mix sets up a nice soundstage on our monitors.
Well done!

Thought provoking lyrics. This one fools you ... at first you are comfortable with the simple, major key chord progression, but then in the (chorus??? middle 8??? not sure) it goes dark and throws you off balance a bit . I like that !! A LOT !!!

BYOBand,
It’s a cool opening . . . good vocal . . . in a weird sort of way kinda reminds me of what a song would sound like if Karen Carpenter did a Bowie tune. It’s a great listen . . . some really nice production elements. I liked it a lot!
