Hi All,

Here's something called AEROMAN.

I sent you a message
Came across all the wires
I hope that you read it
Before it expires

I’m here on the north face
Your somewhere downtown
It feels like a century
Oh since you’ve been around

If I was an aeroman
I could take off and land
If you had the wings
In your hands

I’m high on this mountain
I can’t help looking down
If you would only come up
I would fly you around

When we lived on the park side
We would walk in the dark
With our feet on the ground
Around Battery Park

If I was an aeroman
I could take off and land
If you had the wings
In your hands

Hey Bob,

Another great atmospheric, ambient, poetic and thought-provoking piece.

You certainly have a complete 100% signature sound and lyrical stamp as an artist!!

😁

P.S. I know you don't want to do any spoiler alerts, but is there going to be a song in the future where your character finally leaves Chelsea and ends up at a Sunday school picnic in Charleston, South Carolina where he's happily in love with a beautiful blonde woman wearing a polka dot dress and they're going to move into a little house with pink roses and a white picket fence and live happily ever after forever going to Vacation Bible School??

Bob,

You have a way with words! Such a great lyric. Love the strings on the choruses. The wood block in the percussion track is a perfect fit for the song. Just way too good!

Best to you,

Alan

Very nice track Bob. I like Floyd's description of a mini-movie. I thought you did a great job on the build with this one too.

I really like the laid-back band you have chosen for this one! Kind of like a slower tempo Neil Young tune!
The melody in that beautiful chorus is wonderful!
Another very fine tune Bob!

Take care, TB

Bob, beautiful write, beautifully performed. Really love the vocal treatment on the chorus (doubled lead + distant harmony?) Just heartbreakingly beautiful. Have I said this song is beautiful? Well, it needs to be said more than once. Nice one!!

Bob, your songs are poetry set to music.
You are a fantastic story teller.
Loved those strings!
As usual everything is spot on.

AEROMAN - is he the new Marvel character from X-Men?

I love your lyrics and the way you tell your stories.
You should write an (audio) book, Bob!

Hi, Bob.

It's like I walked into a coffeehouse and found one of the last folkies. Your lyrics are like sketches - economical, each line giving a bit more detail to the picture.

Love it! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

David Snyder coined it right, Bob Dean The Song-Writting Machine. Man, every one is so good, Bob, and they stand tall and proud on their own. I'll also quote David Cuny: "Your lyrics are like sketches - economical, each line giving a bit more detail to the picture."
And you create such cool images with your words and music. The Showcase Forum is my favorite coffeehouse.


Enjoy whatever happens!

The band is perfect for this. I imagined myself walking past a long mural on a long city wall and humming the melody while looking at painting. Another very poetic piece delivered in your unique and effective style. Loved it, Tom
