Well Robert and I have decided to try something new. Robert floated the idea that since we had created quite a few song maybe we should present them as a band. So Spirit Level was born. We have created a new Soundcloud page and will be posting our collaborations there from now on. Our few song for the new site is called Skyrim Robert's inspiration for the lyrics are Psychedelic SciFi Catharsis. I recorded and mixed my guitar tracks in Studio One. I transferred the realtracks using the drag and drop features from Realband. Could not believe how easy it was. Hope you like the new song. The Lyrics SkyRim dive for pearls of faralone jewels of another life among angelfish faces banished beg you to atone dance through crowds of cinnabar stars on Insomnia Avenue the dark interval waits as muzac plays eyes centre your heart on the skyrim with nothing left to lose on the skyrim gods fall into you the Vertigo Lounge sells upgrades a day at Childhood`s End on the Mirror Carousel meet yourself coming back the other way on the skyrim with nothing left to lose on the skyrim gods fall into you when you`re hollow through and through no more the dark can do gods fall into you on the skyrim © Robert Cordrey March 2020 The Band ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Skyrim File:skyrim.SGU Key=G , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:18 8 bar intro, 87 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 95.

Cool song. Very Psychedelic. Circa 1967. More Stones Satanic Majesty's Request than Sgt. Peppers. Congratulations to both of you. Good luck to the band.

Very poetic, sort of reminds me of the 60s psychedelic era, some of those oldie strange bands. Orange marmalade or something. Very different, I like it. Nice wah! wah! effect.

Scott & Robert ...
Your collabs are always exciting and great listens. This takes me back to the middle 60s ... just with better technology. Nice guitar work, Scott! The wha-wha sounded just right!And Robert ... sounding terrific on the vocal. Great backing tracks. A real nice listen. Not much of this music on the forum ... it's a nice addition!
Good luck with the new account. Will be looking for more songs as the days roll by. Nice stuff, gentlemen!!!
Best to both of you. Be safe ...

Hey, great idea of coming up with a band name for your collaborations! Very cool name too BTW.
Sort of a late 60's San Francisco vibe happening here, which is a good thing!
Nice one guys, enjoyed.

Spirit Level...
Cool band!! Flashback City!
The lyrics zoom over my head for the most part, but...
"gods fall into you
on the skyrim"
I like that.
Good mix - especially for the style. Vocal is tucked in nicely.
Super guitar outro!!

This was lots of fun to work on. Roberts vocal and lyrics took us back to a time when having fun was number one priority. Glad you liked the song

Hi Scott and Robert,
I can imagine you must have had a lot of fun producing this song. It's indeed very psychedelic as Jptjptjptjptjptjpt said.
And there Spirit Level was born! The name gives some associations with liquor, but I don't believe you're using that so much.
I have something to confess: I listened to the song, read the lyrics, I love Roberts' voice and because you are professionals in music it must be very good song, but this isn't my kind of music. So don't be angry with me, just try to accept you have to deal with those people too...
But stay safe,
Hans

Thanks for the listens and comments. I had fun with the rhythm track on this song; holds on beats one and three for all instruments creating a variation that sounds unusual for BiaB.
The lyrics, of course, were written after muting the "make sense" button!
After 30 or so collaborations with Scott its nice to have a site to collect them.
The name? You`ve heard Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson, but have you heard Spirit Level by Spirit Level?

Just listened to Spirit Level by you guys. Reminds me of a Neil Young song if it was a little more rocky. But very nice, I really like the alternative style.

Good luck to the band. \\ Or maybe The Blue Magoos or the Count Five to name a couple. Very 60's psychedelic genre for sure. And extremely well done. I like it a lot. In fact it brought me back to that time.

Great overall sound, had a bit of a progressive rock thing going as well as the 60's psychodelica.
Very nice collaboration.

Oh, yeah, I can see everyone running through Golden Gate Park. Great new Band name. Guitars sound great, Scott, and the lyrics are perfect this, Robert.

I couldn't help but think of the iconic video game called Skyrim when listening to this. Liked the energy in it, and the guitar was very, very good. Of course, I am a big fan of RKC's lyrics and that was the usual treat. Thanks guys!

Thanks Dave Glad you like the song. This type of music was a daily staple when I was teenager. Glad you like the name of the band. Robert picked this one out. Was a perfect fit.

Well as one who made the obligatory trip to Haight Ashbury in the 60’s and as one who actually wore a Neru jacket I feel qualified to offer an opinion: I like it! And so does Janice although our 12 year age difference made her a grade schooler then  The sound is a bit more progressive than the classic psychedelia of the era but the lyric and vocal really capture it as does that super cool wah wah. And, if I might say, this collab really captures the spirit of this forum. Kudos, J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.
