This song started out as a Instrumental. When I finished I sent the song to Robert and he felt the song was right for some lyrics. He made some changes to the arrangement to make it more suitable for his lyrics and the song became The Altlas of Remote These are Roberts lyrics The Atlas Of Remote kite on a string a coiled up spring in a kid building worlds on the floor after dark reading maps in a wide awake hat naming places never seen before you`re a treetop spy the tribe ostracized never could breathe in a crowd set your compass on course far from applause amaze the day that heard your vow out of your country out of yourself eyes of stars at the bottom of your well over this whole blue wilderness sailing ships hidden below kindness unseen under the waterline courage no one knows wonder shivers you feel at the Equator of Real reaching the Island of Voices on your Atlas of Remote sometimes you play the clown marionette falling down in the grown up puppet show cut the kite from the string uncoil your spring amaze the day before its flown always ever how you go on windhover eye imagination over this whole blue wilderness sailing ships hidden below kindness unseen under the waterline courage no one knows wonder shivers you feel at the Equator of Real reaching the Island of Voices on your Atlas of Remote © Robert Cordrey April,2019 Here is the band. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: the atlas of remote File:the atlas of remote.SGU Key=E , Tempo 82, Length (m:s)=6:05 8 bar intro, 113 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 121.

Hi Scott and Robert,
This is very inventive and I really enjoyed listening.
I love that you've combined Thrash tracks with a Celtic cello.... it works incredibly well. Anyone who listens to this will be in awe of the flexibility that BIAB makes possible!
Scott: as always, your guitar work was great and very engaging. Robert: your singing just keeps on getting better and better... this was a terrific listen.
You two are an awesome team!
All the best,
Noel

Pretty cool with a sense of Big Country in there with the elements. The doubled solo is nice, even more BC.
I liked the lyric, melody and vocal but the line "...amaze the day..." sounded wrong - unclear, uncertain and possibly beyond range.
A really good combo of styles/elements into a fine song.
Cheers

Noel Thanks so much Noel. I am so glad to have been able to another song with Robert. He has been very busy over the last few months working on some personal projects. It amazes me how he comes in with the lyrics he does. He also produced an excellent vocal as well.

This has a beautiful, slightly pensive, feel I'm just loving.
Glad you decided to include lyrics. It comes together great!

Scott/Robert,
When I saw the song was 5+ minutes long, I thought I would loss interest at some point (being accustom to the 3-minute thing). That never happened. A credit to you both.
Cool song. Interesting lyric. Nice tracks to carry it.
Nice guitar work, Scott.
Whoever mixed this did a fine job. One of your best.

Awesome! Cool!
I'm a fan, love what you guys do together
you're one of my favorite modern bands
I feel like it's a fevered dream and I can't quite keep up with
the images flashing by in a rapidly changing landscape
but it keeps my interest and I like it
sometimes you play the clown
marionette falling down
in the grown up
puppet show
cut the kite from the string
uncoil your spring
amaze the day
before its flown
(not just to disagree with Ray) but I relate to and love these lines
amaze the day is perfect to me
Kenny

Wow - what a tune! Incredible unique, and the lyrics are truly poetic. It flows magnificently as well and almost had a whimsical feel to it. Nicely catchy on the hook too. You guys should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Great collaboration...
Good imagery in the lyrics...
To me, it was the fantasy of youth transformed in the reality of adulthood...
Very nicely done...
Your guitar lines fit well in the song...
The production & vocals were excellent...
I must say I always look forward to your collaborations!
Jim

Very interesting collaboration. I hear strong Scottish highland mood in the melody and guitars (reminds me of Runrig), naturally the cello adds another dimension. Great vocals and especially the guitar soloing is very enjoyable.

Wow, That was one interesting listening experience! Scott & Robert, I think you done great work on this! 5+ minutes... I got totally hypnotized Music, lyrics, production..solid A . The only small complaint I have is I wish vocals would be louder in some places, but that is just personal preference. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing! Misha.

Scott and Robert, it's great to see you guys back at it again! The chorus in this song is far and away my favorite section of music I have heard from you! The guitar solo immediately after the first chorus was perfect! Robert, I loved the vocal effects you used in this! Great work all the around! You guys are a great team!! Thanks, Torrey

Sounding good guys! Thanks Dave for the kind words. This started out as a straight forward instrumental with me playing with harmonics and Robert adjusted the arrangement and it morphed into a three dimensional journey. Glad you like the song.. Scott / Robert,
This is a great song! The guitar, lyrics, vocal are so creative and fresh...

Bob Thanks so much for the kind words Bob. Robert did have an awesome vocal on this song. Because I was playing with harmonics in this song I couldn't change the key. Robert hit it out of the park with his vocal. So glad you liked it.

Thanks to all listening and/or commenting.
The instrumental Scott sent me is one of his best imo - not sure if the guitarists hear that there are three separate tracks on his solo- such a cool big sound.
The lyrics began with a line from R.L.Stevenson "out of my country out of myself I go"as he departed on his South Seas voyage.
An anthem for loners and solo sailors is how it turned out!
Robert

Very visual and haunting lyric sung easy-does-it. I like the simple guitar theme in the lead played over those long-held chords and the way it grew up at the end. Really, really nice listen.
