AT BLUE HORIZONS
SONG LINK
https://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/34086975-ar-blue-horizons
VIDEO LINK
https://youtu.be/dH5vLD3d4_gI have always loved the beach and ocean, I am a certified diver, boating, swimming are some of my passions. I had many adventures diving around the world; Night Dives, Caves, Cliffs, even with Sharks, Sting Rays and Barracudas. Last year I broke my neck swimming in the surf. After several operations and lots of pain and hard work. It was the greatest challenge fighting my way back to life. I wrote this song during recovery. Thanks for listening. BLUE HORIZONS She calls me / I hear her / beckoning to me / to dive in / To her endless seas / somewhere beyond the breeze / Of Blue Horizons Shes freedom / she gives life /birth with the / womb of all that / Swims in her embrace / feel the warmth of her grace of blue horizons Ohhh Ohhh Shes waiting for me there Ohhh Ohhh On the cool sea air / she sings / of blue horizons Shes beauty / shes power/ crushing rocks and shells into a Carpet of white sand as she meets the land at blue horizons Chorus Shes stormy / shes darkness / she can be / a cruel mistress In her oceans tide / crash of waves as they ride to blue horizons

Elliott,
I really like this a lot. The production and mix is excellent.
Your voice and the vocals mix are perfect in this.
Solid!!
By the way, what is up with that weird purplish pink neon creepy Satan star on ReverbNation of late?
God that thing is ugly.
Is that going to be their logo forever now?? Sheeeesh.
Anyway, great song!!!

"Shes beauty / shes power/
crushing rocks and shells into a
Carpet of white sand as
she meets the land at blue horizons"
Great lines!
Helluva thing to go through for song inspiration but it yielded a fine tune.
It's the whole package with everything hittin' the note ... the write, vocal, band and mix.
Nice supporting imagery in the video also.
Enjoyed it!

Cool vibe!
This line hit a bit harder after reading the backstory:
she can be / a cruel mistress In her oceans tide
Nice production and singing, too!
Glad to hear you've made it to recovery from your injury.

Yeow!! I'd love to sit and hear your stories of those adventures, Elliott. This song is a terrific start. Dang! Broken neck! Man, the lyrics are so compelling and crafted with such emotion. No wonder. I really love the feel and the way you built in dynamics. So glad you won the fight and are here to sing about it. Great!!

Elliot, first I pray that you have fully recovered from your broken neck.
Second this is a fantastic song.
Loved that groove.
Your instrumentation was spot on for this song.
Super vocal and mix.
This is your best to date IMHO.
