Hi All,

Here's something new - this is called Light Years.

All the graves are in the backyard
And people move on there’s no doubt
Now I see the changing of the guard
Separate pathways a different route

No need to wave flags in the air
The stars won’t see them anyway
I sometimes just look up and stare
Still the same sky different day

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Take a bus to New York City
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

All BIAB Tracks:

A cool write, as always, Bob...

"Take a bus to New York City
And see your face in every mile"

Love how that says so much in such a simple statement.

Another excellent arrangement. And a solid mix.

Terrific listen.

I really, really enjoyed this song. I especially loved the lyrics. Particularly "Shift through all the tired dreams. There’s a new moon on the mountain. If I can fly this old machine". Great job!


Cheers,
Ember

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Bravo, Robert smile Really easy on the ears, and a nice gentle listen for me. I really like the slow build throughout. Some really nice lyrics here to, and I'm fond of the chord progressions.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Well written and well delivered. And as always the band is hittin' the note.

Deryk mentioned both the build and the chord progression...yep, very effective.

floyd mention in part:

"Take a bus to New York City
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly"

As he said so much is said in those lines. The old bus, the destination, run vs fly, the face, etc. Rich and textured imagery in four lines.

Outstanding.
