Hello everyone,

This weeks new song:

Evening Ball

My initial idea was to keep this purely instrumental. I was experimenting with a rather different type of chord scheme. Also trying shots and holds in all kinds of styles. The result was almost 'not BIAB'. Unlike anything else I had heard the program do before.
Later on got I got some ideas for proper lyrics. Anne-Marie did a co-write on the final version.
This is influenced by songs like: Telegraph Road and Private Investigations by Dire Straits. Not very strange because Brent Mason's PopDreamy realtrack plays a prominent role in the song (the rest of the arrangement is pretty much a Brent Mason one-man show too laugh ).

Attraction, fate and the famous 'tunnel towards the light' are themes of this song.

Hope you like it.
Any comments are welcome.

Rob

Lyrics

for a longer time I've been walking
considering life for miles
with everything I ever knew,
swept away in a single blow
so I just keep on walking
in this place that I adore
but all in all the streets grow bear
when you realize.... you're no longer there

we're on our way to the evening ball
you want to do dance, you love to show
I watch the way you fix your hair
a sudden light, a sudden call
your final touch, your worried stare

it's strange as I see myself lying there
you won't let go of me, you never could
and then, I hardly realize that I'm moving away from it all
like a bird flying up, or a plain rising
rising up, rising up

on our way to the evening ball
a reckless drive would end it all
the dance, the love you wanted to show
the lights are down, the calling fades
a future that has come and gone

We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.
