Hi All, Here's something a bit loose and fun called Time Machine. I wanna see through your abandoned eyes So close the door on your time machine I wanna float through our universe So throw the switch on your time machine I wanna swim in the Atlantic waves And feel the sand run between our hands I wanna write all those summer songs So shine the sun on your time machine I wanna breathe all your big words of love So turn the dial on your time machine I wanna keep all the coffee warm So set the clock on your time machine I wanna find an old black telephone And hear your voice come across the line I wanna talk till the sun comes up So don’t hang up on your time machine I wanna see my story in your eyes So take me back on your time machine I wanna find all the yesteryears So break the glass on your time machine All BIAB Tracks: 1293: Bass, Electric, TexMexCountry Ev 120 1118: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 691: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 2541: Pedal Steel, Background ModernPopCountry Ev 120 800: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SouthernSnappyGritty Ev 090 Loop in Song: Percussion/Tambourine Quarters 4 Bars RealDrums: NashvilleEven16 Sidestick HiHat, Snare, Ride Thanks for listening!

Man, you are on a roll lately!
Really good, Bob, has your signature sound with those great, distinctive vocals.
"Band"sounds good, love that guitar part you dropped in between the verses, perfect choice!

Bob, Another good one! I really like your harmony vocal on this one. Drums are nice and upfront. Again you have created a poetic write with lots of room open to the listener for interpretation. Your unique sound never gets old to these ears, Tom

Cool song.
The mix seemed exceptionally hot in the low and mid end. It was roaring a bit in the speakers here. I normally can listen to everyone's music without having to grab the knobs.... this needed to be lowered a bit .
Anyway... good writing.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Wow - you nailed this! I'm getting some really nice nostalgic type vibes on this one. The harmonies you did on this are fantastic, too! The arrangement is awesome, and your vocals really cut through and are attention grabbing. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,

Floyd, Thanks - much appreciated. I generated multiple versions of that rhythm guitar and then picked the best pieces for the solo part. So great to be able to do that. Bob

Bob,
This song IS the time machine. I love how all of your songs take me back to the village and NYC. I always feel like I AM back in the day, and having such a blast.
One of the first ones that hit me this way was "Woodstock" which is one of my all time favorites.
When I close my eyes and listen to one of your tunes I can see myself going in a time machine back to Greenwich Village in 1968 and Lou Reed and Nico are sitting at some cafe outside in sunglasses.
Great artistry.
