The Sea To Sky Highway

every hour I miss you
is a mile a mile
on a road from the sea to the sky

from foggy ferry to eagle`s eyrie
I walk from blue to blue
your pearl in my pocket wearing through

around regrets and hurting
something shines shines
if its pure let the road choose our time

where are you now
I`m facing both ways
waiting for that state of grace
on the sea to sky highway

rain falls on footsteps
falling soft as goodbye
soaked in your words I`ll never dry

hope you found your sunlit island
high above this foggy world
found the grain of sand inside the pearl


where are you now
I`m facing both ways
waiting for that state of grace
your gentle breathing makes
on the sea to sky highway


Robert Cordrey, April 2016

Scott, this is a super tune! Beautiful harmonic journey. The arrangement is very ethereal and a great pairing for the lyrics. Nice vocals and guitar work, too. The brief melodic figure at the end makes a nice coda. Sounded like a synth or FX-heavy guitar? Really love the stuff you and Robert are doing!

An other worldly sound and an almost ghostly vocal.
Weirdly wonderful, Scott and Robert.

Scott / Robert,

What a great sounding ethereal folk song. It has such an epic feel to both the lyrics and instrumentation. Love Robert's mysterious vocal and Scott's wonderful guitar work.

I always enjoy your music - great stuff!

Another winner from Scott / Robert
Scott's guitar really compliments Robert's almost ghostly like vocal.
Great harmony.
Sweet tone on that axe Scott.
Great mix also.

Thanks so much for checking out the song. Was so happy when Robert suggested we do one of his folk songs. yes the ending I incorporated a feedback effect on the last note of the song. Kind of felt like it was escaping into the either. Really glad you liked the song.

Hi Scott and Robert,

Very nice video and composition. It's well constructed. The harmony is gentle and combines mercifully with the images. What software do you use for video? In any case, it's a great achievement. I really enjoyed it.

Hi Scott,

I guess we had to warm up a little bit for this song.... .Until we got to the chorus!
Beautiful, dark and atmospheric like only Robert can sing them.
Complemented by Scott's wonderful, melodic guitar!

The dry guitar intro is beautiful. There is fragility in the voice and it works well.

Hi Scott and Robert.

Robert's delicate lyric and vocal on a well crafted arrangement.

Gentle imagery, subtle harmonies, and tasteful guitar.

Nice! smile

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

Lovely song, lyrically and musically. I like that guitar break. Good video, too.

Lovely ballad, music is a beautiful painting and the poetic lyrics tell a story that has somehow quite a sad undertone. The intriguing chord progression and Robert's expressive vocal and harmonies create a unique world where Scott's guitar sounds like that foggy ferry. Spirit Level is not just music, it is a place in our souls.

Mesmerizing, ghostly, surreal atmosphere, which is mainly created by your vocals.
You would have been an interesting vocal addition to Pink Floyd, Scott.

Love the vibe, very easy on the ears. I really liked how the acoustic guitars sound panned L and R, especially in the beginning.
