Here is a new song. It is a collaboration with Robert Cordrey supplying the lyrics and beautiful vocal by Greg Johnson. It started out as an instrumental in late December but as I was finishing it, I decided t to send it to Robert to see if it was suitable for lyrics. He sent back a demo with the most beautiful lyrics and vocal. Robert suggested that it maybe more suitable with a female vocal. I thought it would be perfect for Greg and he graciously accepted. Wonderland V1 the angel of time made you a swing a swing from braids of her dark hair as she did sing sing one rope round tomorrow the other yesterday between yet to be and might have been you and I will play V2 your toes point to the moon as you ascend ascend as your eyes close I`ll spin globe our game won`t end won`t end kick out your heels the world wheels a little more what do you see as you soar C down there Easter Island isn`t that the London Eye a patchwork planet sailing by now we`re above your castle in the sand dont you agree its a wonderland wonderland V3 the angel of time made you a swing a swing from braids of her dark hair as she did sing sing kickout your heels the world wheels a little more between yet to be and might have been you and I will soar C hold Stonehenge in your hand don`t miss the northern lights a patchwork planet sailing by now we`re above your castle in the sand don`t you agree its a wonderland wonderland © Robert Cordrey Jan.2018 ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Wonderland File:WonderlandE-T5.SGU Key=E , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=4:00 4 bar intro, 72 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 76.

A lovely collaboration - serene and uplifting.
Everything comes together beautifully, the lyric the vocal the guitar and the melody.
Great work all round.

Scott, Robert & Greg,
A very cool collaboration. A good write, a beautiful vocal and nice guitar work.
"between yet to be and might have been" - loved that line, Robert...
Nice music. Overall the mix is good. Early on, the vocal seemed too low - then toward the end my ear got accustomed to its level. But I think it might need to come up slightly.
Nice, y'all. This forum is SO cool!

When I saw the line up I knew this was going to be good. In fact, it's much better than that, it's great.
Very melodic, extremely well produced.
Another winner.

Wow - you guys made something beautiful here It is so serene and ethereal. It just has such a cozy vibe - and also, I think Greg did an incredible job with the vocals. Not a thing I'd change here - you guys nailed it. An incredible collaboration for sure - great work and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Those are some very good lyrics. You chose the right guy to sing this one. Very dreamy, floating vibe. Some really nice guitar work. A fine collab by three fine writers and musicians, Tom

Scott had already named the instrumental he sent me and the melody
fit nicely with a lullaby I started years ago... having that Wonderland word gave me the way to finish. Motto: be a packrat with your writing- everything can be remade!
Thanks for the positive comments everyone.
Robert

This song is so mellow I had trouble following the lyrics because I just kept drifting off to some happy place. Thanks David. I see I did not word the part about Robert and I figuring out the vocal as the song in its original key was very high. I felt that Greg's vocal ability is so smooth and his range would really be good for the song. So glad you liked it..

Wonderful collaboration! On the music side, I liked the 6/8 tempo and all the little add-in's, like the organ and the female ahh's..lyric very mystical, introspective, evocative. Great job!!

Scott, Robert & Greg, this is one of the best songs that I have heard on this site! Everything about this one is perfect.
Wonderland was the perfect 3:45 minute vacation for me today.
This is a keeper.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Great collaboration combines Robert's poetic lyrics to Scott's beautiful melody and Greg's wonderful voice soars it above Earth and sails on the blue seas. I definitely agree, it's a wonderland Janne
