Prayer Wheels

we left them singing
guitars sliding haunting the dawn
where shanty children drag their wings
to the Highway of Kings

on our horizon
see them run they run my love
ghostly gleaming horses pure as thoughts
when the Father tied these knots

I would bless and honour your days
signs of a solitary road
steer the other way
when dogs are at our heels
I`ll help you turn
your prayer wheels

change my antenna
tumbledowns in blooms of such beauty
this is your world roots in the mud
your lotus blooms above

I would bless and honour your days
signs of a solitary road
steer the other way
when dogs are at our heels
I`ll help you turn
your prayer wheels

tires spin and heal
our promise turns
prayer wheels

Scott, wow, you and Robert are really putting out some cool music that sounds wholly original (to me). You definitely have a stylistic thread that holds all of these tunes together. Anyway, "otherworldly" is first adjective that comes to mind for this one. The floating arrangement and dreamy vocals set the tone, and your guitar fills are tasteful and sound SO nice. Must have been a nice birthday present!

Scott / Robert,

This song is beautiful - absolutely mesmerizing. The vocal is superb, as is the video and production.

You guys consistently put out some of the greatest music on this forum or anywhere.

Love this.

Wow you two! This is just a stunningly beautiful song.

A gorgeous production all the way around, loved everything about it. What a great song for a wife on her birthday.

Hey, how did you guys do that video? What program did you use to generate all that?

Very cool work!

A proper, proper LOVE song. What am I to add to that? Robert being Robert, a genius of sensitivity, expression and musicality. You want to hear a piece of music that will invariably make you shiver and wonder at how such untouchable, un-namable beauty is possible, you go listen to something that Robert wrote. This whole Spirit Level production is beyond stunning, for me at the very least. Keep writing, Robert, please ... the term of "genius" fits very few people in this world, you are one of those rare people. Bravi.

Thanks David for checking out the song and really glad you liked it. Robert used Kaiber AI to make all the videos. He really has a handle on that software..

Hi, Robert (& Company).

Nice song - major 7th goodness and a heartfelt vocal.

The video does a good job clarifying any confusion I had over the lyrics.

Nice work on everything. smile

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

What a lovely sentiment and song that is to lift the level of our spirits!

Robert’s vocal and your guitar beautifully support the ethereal feel.

The video is enjoyable - beautiful scenery and a great photo of Robert and his lovely wife.
We enjoyed it all and appreciate the effort put into the production … audio and video.

Great work you two!

Gently soothing song and concept. Lovely production and flow. With or without the video it's very relaxing.

Hi Scott and Robert,

What a nice birthday present for your wife, Robert.
This is so your Spirit Level style, I think only you can do.
I enjoyed it all. And, lucky me had to see/hear it twice, because the lyrics were on your post and not on YT.

My birthday is a bit away, so you have the time to surprise me too! ;-))
