Only Begin ( with Janice & Graham)

Lewis & Clark`s 1804-6 expedition across America.They are friends- one of them is troubled.
With thanks to Graham who plays accordion and offered good suggestions on instrumentation and to Janice for singing fine harmonies again.

Style is _CELTAIR.STY (Solo Acoustic Celtic Air Guitar )

RealTracks in style: 1814:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CelticAir Ev 085
RealTracks in song: 1618 Fiddle,Background Allis
Celtic Harp
Bowed Bass



Only Begin

if wishes were rivers
they`d run both ways to the sea

Clark holds the compass
Lewis reads the time
there is peace in the numbers
remake the world line by line
this morning a sea of grass
under a robins egg sky
Missouri uncoils
from the Great Divide

Pierre saws the fiddle
band of brothers dance and sing
Lewis forgets he`s a song
with one loose string
like nights in Virginia
hunting by the stars
he`s a boy on a tramp
afraid he`s gone too far

only begin
your maps are unfurled
on the edge of the world
only begin

the hard part is over
they taste the salt tide
in Columbia`s torrent
Lewis braves the storm inside
Clark thinks of Judith
speeches and huzzahs
how to save his friend
from the old scars

there`s no call for angels
to stay his hand
Lewis knows Clark is coming
to Grinder`s Stand
with lead powder rifle
paper and quill
they`ll slip into the west
leave the glory the bills

only begin
your maps are unfurled
on the edge of the world
only begin

if wishes were rivers
they`d run both ways from the sea

This is a super collaboration. Great vocals, super backing tracks and Graham's part fits perfectly.

You should be very proud of this one.

Two thumbs up.

Hi Robert,

This is just so beautiful. All of you did a fantastic job on the great collab.

I'm originally from St. Charles, Missouri. Since lewis & Clark began their expedition their, the have significant stature in the area. I lived right on the Missouri River and just a few miles from the Mississippi River. This brought back some wonderful memories - some real nice ones!

I enjoyed this so much! Totally loved it!

Mario,
I`m glad you liked this. Been wanting to do a song with Graham since he brought his accordion to the forum-his playing here has a nice old time feel that fit what I was after.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Wow - what an incredible collaboration! Your voices meld together so perfectly on this. Also, the lyrics here are vivid and I love how abstract they sound. It really helps add a new dimension to the tune. It reminds me of Neutral Milk Hotel a little bit - they are an independent indie folk band that is highly praised, so that is most definitely a compliment smile

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Thanks Floyd,
I only had the opening/closing lyrics written before working out the melody on this, but its good to know they read well by themselves.
Graham`s suggestions on the bass and harp really helped keep the sound simple and folky.

Scott,
I`m pretty sure Janice did her vocal in one take; mine never are and I end up taking the best of many.
Yes,Graham`s playing is sweet!
Thanks for your positive review.

That`s very kind Al,
I loved history but back in those days in an English school we were steered away from American success stories... I`ve done lots of catchup in the last few years and read both the Lewis & Clark journals and historical fiction based on their lives.
I`m glad this song resonated with your history too!

Mr. Cordrey...

What's the word to describe this song of yours -- evocative? Yes, I think that's word, which means "bringing strong images, memories, or feelings to mind". Who would think that a song written and composed on the subject of a pair of historical figures who've been dead for approximately two-hundred years, could so completely mesmerize a listener such as myself?

Have you ever seen a film starring Robert Redford, and titled "Jeremiah Johnson"? Your song evokes the wintry, wistful sound and feel that the composers of the film's score, Tim McIntire and John Rubenstein, conjured up in the film.

And, once again, sir, your lyrics overwhelm the senses with mood and galleries of imagery that create a whole world, verse by verse, line by line, word-by-word.

Ms. Janice's harmonizing vocals added to your own solo vocal makes you two sound like a man and woman surviving on the very frontier explored by Messrs. Lewis and Clarke.

It's music to listen to by the light of a single candle.

Carried away,

LOREN
