Just to tie the bow... SHARING AIR Here's the last set of posts after the mastering... http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=491002#Post491002LYRICS Sharing Air Not so long ago I had a lover And it seemed that nothing could go wrong Not so long ago there was no other I had someone with whom I belong Dreams have become nightmares Go from REM to eyes wired open Oh so little time we’d known each other Such a simple love you had to smother Not so long ago I had a life where Sharing air was something new Wasn’t long before that breath was stolen Suffocating déjà vu Not so long ago I had a lover And it seemed that this love could be strong All too soon we merged with one another Swept in the torrent too long Maybe if I stay inside and hide Or if swallow my pride Pretend it wasn’t you and It was I that had lied Not so long ago I had a life where Precious moments weren’t so few Wasn’t long before those times were stolen Suffocating déjà vu Not so long ago I had a lover And it seemed a love to be prolonged Not so long ago there was no other We were living lyrics for a song I know I talk of nothing but it And I know no one wants to hear about it Oh so little time we’d known each other Such a simple love you had to smother Not so long ago I had a life where Sharing truth could start anew Wasn’t long before that truth was stolen Suffocating déjà vu Solo Not so long ago I had a life where Sharing air was something new Wasn’t long before that breath was stolen Suffocating déjà vu I could recover

Ray… I enjoyed listening to your track and I found your video very interesting… Did I miss something? was there a prior post about this recording with BIAB information and the lyrics? I really like to read a long one… Helps me understand the messages better.
Anyway, production is first class and all of the live performers are excellent.. everything was well balanced, And in several spots I found your chord changes kept me listening closely to see what would follow. I’m glad I tuned into listen!

Loved this tune and vocal. Your video would have been a bit hit back in the late 60's. Could have watched it for hours ;-).. Well done..

Definitely has a 60s feel. It would be nice to have the lyrics posted as sometimes I miss what the singer is saying. Being a lyricist, I especially like to spend time on appreciating what the words are saying and the play they do as well as the music. Very COOL!!! sort of a psycodelic song, needs a light show in the video reminds me of ABBA or something. Interesting and a good one.

I’m glad I tuned into listen! Thanks for the very kind assessment. There was a thread based on the song post mastering. I've included the link in the OP. I enjoy reading along as well. I've popped the lyrics into the OP as well. The lyrics are almost accurate. Oddly Trudy didn't sing the changes written into the choruses. Since I quite like those changes I've left them in.
Cheers

Interesting video, Ray... a lot to keep the eyes engaged while the ears are as well.. Thanks fj, I had prepared a much closer narrative match video but figured being too literal was a little boring.

I did dig up an old "lightshow" for part of the vid but it didn't translate as well as I'd hope so it was removed. I used to love seeing gig posters with "lightshow" listed near the bottom. The lyrics are in the OP now.

Ray, This sounds great to me! I really enjoyed listening and watching. The mix is tight and the overall sound is very engaging! I loved Trudy's vocals and James' guitar work, too {and, of course, Bandhi Nahbok's on drums!  }. A fine listen indeed. Kudos to everyone involved. All the best, Noel

Hi Ray,
Very nice! And yeah, has a very retro 1968, or so, vibe. Nothing wrong with that! All the live players are great. The lyric and arrangement are spot on - top shelf. Video was really nice - emjoyed all of it. nice work by all concerned. best to you.

Dang hippies. :-)
Yeah, I like this a lot. I'm afraid the video wouldn't stream for me tonight for some reason, but followed the other link. I like that chord change...you know the one. I don't know what it was, but it lifted the sad vibe at the same time it made it darker.

I loved Trudy's vocals and James' guitar work, too {and, of course, Bandhi Nahbok's on drums! }. A fine listen indeed. Kudos to everyone involved. All the best, Noel Noel, Thanks. James did the guitar piece twelve months ago - just after I'd done the basic tracking. I did have a singer lined up way back then but the recording didn't eventuate. Out of the blue Trudy piped in and offered to give it a burl. It was a well recorded vocal track and all I had to do was place it & boom. Bandhi did well I reckon!
Cheers

Dagnabbit! Them hippies is chewing all our straw! Sorry about the streamer - Utub can be a cold bath sometimes. The chorus progression was written in 77 or possibly 78. The verse chords (?) are only a year old. Truncated 5ths to open minor 7ths are just an expression of my limited chord vocabulary I suppose.
