CRAZY PLAN

======================
First he says "I've set you free";
Now we're stymied at the sea;
Says his scheme is taking shape;
Through the deep--that's how we'll escape.

What a CRAZY PLAN!
Doesn't give a damn.

Tells us how to fight the foe--
Don't attack, no sword or bow.
Walk for seven days around,
Yell like madmen, make lots of sound.

What a CRAZY PLAN!
Doesn't give a damn.

That's a dilly, daft and silly, makes me laugh out loud.
I'll patronize it, no one buys it, count me with the crowd.

God knows it cannot be;
Don't think you'll hoodwink me.

Eyes clear and just think straight;
Don't fall, don't take the bait.

Send your foes into the sea;
Pass beyond and follow me;
Worry not! I'll shelter thee!

What a brilliant plan!
No one gives a damn.

Really interesting music. Very different from the usual BIAB productions. So much for the ear to catch along the way. A unique, cohesive sound, well mixed.

Both the lyric and the melody are every bit as unique and interesting as the production. Good vocal.

I enjoyed it. Well done.

Crazy might be a charitable description of the "plan." smile

Man, there are a lot of cool nuances in this production which beyond the very apt lyric and nice vocal several listens yield more surprises.

Kudos on a very entertaining production!

Cool song. There are a lot of different styles of music in this song it seems. The lyrics and vocals fit the mood you've captured with the music. Well done.

Interesting stuff. The melding of a wid variety of instruments works well.
the vocal does have an alien "from above" quality to it...not sure if this was intentional.
It's a rounded vocal with not much "sheen" but it works.
Well done.

Great groove you have going on here! An interesting mix of instruments and a very good chord progression. The vocal is excellent and is the mix.

It is different but very interesting and very well done.
