Beloved Stranger

This began while listening to U2`s The Ground Beneath Her Feet; hmm I thought, lyrics by Salman Rushdie; how would a rock ballad sound with the shades of meaning that you find in a novel? I don`t think this is quite there, lyrically, but it was fun to write and record with Scott fully invested in the project as always.
The mix is Scott`s (we always both create a mix as we hear the song and then duel for supremacy...Scott`s just captured the feel of the song better this time.
Thanks for your listens and any comments that fit.

Beloved Stranger

they say the moon
the moon is held by the sun
Moon Girl show me my orbit
tell me how I`m spun

I waited through winter
teach me the beauty of spring
your fierce grace killing kindness
giving life a sweet sting

heedless of yesterday
of today let there be no end
`til you tell me everything
all am in this world depends
on my beloved
beloved stranger

did we trade passion
passion for the heart`s steady hum
still I dare to believe believe
there are joys to come

we walk the lover`s median
between the known and the unknown
delight in all we`ve hidden
til our cover`s blown
my beloved
beloved stranger

heedless of yesterday
of today let there be no end
`til you tell me everything
all am in this world depends
on my beloved
beloved stranger

"they say the moon

Excellent opening verse!

Scott's guitar bits throughout the verses are a perfect fit. I love the solo, but especially the guitar ending.

You've created an other worldly feel with the instrumentation and melody. Nice one!

I like the way you came out of the gate and just attacked the vocal. Really great. Lyrics were a treat as always. I would quote something but I wouldn't know where to start, the whole thing is poetry. Guitar was icing. Strings were oh so nice. Listened several times. Total treat.

What nice to see/hear how you both are working more and more again together, Robbert and Scott!
I enjoyed this very nice song of yours a lot!
Of course very nice (but also a bit difficult) lyrics that are sung with your signature voice, Robbert.
Always a joy to listen to.

But I also enjoyed the guitarplay of Scott a lot. Scott, you were experimenting a bit with it here?
Sounds very good and I had to laugh (a bit) hearing the end of the song where you hit the snares unexpectedly.

Very enjoyable song,
Hans

I appreciate that; I know I`m no Bono, but its nice to get supportive comments on the vocals.
Scott always delivers on guitar - and , invariably, we hardly need to back`n forth much on what fits the song.

Hans,
I think that ending was my late addition- hope it works!
The lyrics are intentionally a bit highbrow, but thankfully you can always listen to Scott`s guitar!
Thank you for listening and commenting.

“we walk the lover`s median 

between the known

my beloved

beloved stranger”

Some of our fav lines of many.

We do agree with the Neil Young vibe pointed out by Firesong.
(A good thing in our book).

The vocal and guitar performances well deliver the lyric, melody and the backing tracks support the feel with their choice and mix.

For us you achieved your goal!

Well done.

Excellent lyric and vocal, and Scott always seems to add the perfect part.

I've always been a fan of your collaborations, nice to see you working together again.

Robert & Scott ...

Robert, your lyrics always come a cross to me as the lyricist's version of a great poet. You have an uncanny way with words that is remarkable. And your trademark vocals are always so dang nice. Truly amazing!

And Scott, you know haow to make your guitars speak. They carry the same weight as Robert's wonderful lyric. When I see something from the two of you, I know it's gonna be good. This is more proof.

Truly excellent!

Alan

Interesting idea, Scott.
It may be my ears but I think you could up the vocal a little.
It seems to me to get lost behind the guitar. Nice guitar tone though.

So many things to praise...
-good selection of drums and the rhythm guitars
-strings are mixed very well
-Scott's guitar playing and effects, especially the intro wakes the interest
-lovely lyrics, with many beautiful pearls like "did we trade passion ... for the heart's steady hum", "your fierce grace killing kindness/giving life a sweet sting" and talking about the beauty of spring is bit of a sting when the first snow has just arrived here
-great vocals, I enjoyed especially the "still I dare to believe believe/there are joys to come" part
-the beauty in the melody and in the chords contains a strange spiritual feeling that I rarely experience in music, definitely more than the sum of all the parts.
