How Did We Forget with Ray C. - 03/01/21 10:09 PM
Hi Folks.
Here is one of the latest tunes that I have done in collaboration with Ray (Rayc on forum). This was recorded in January, but was not fully complete and shelved for health reasons. I finally got around to re-recording my vocals and work on the mix . Still a bit too dynamic, because of blend of synths and Real Tracks, but more or less audible. Constructive critique is always appreciated. Thank you for listening!
How Did We Forget
Lyrics:
How did we forget,
How to share bread with the needy in sorrow.
A walking heartless clone.
Blindly searching for our gods
In empty houses of stone.
Chorus
You know there was a time
When time was all we had
When we laughed aloud
When time was all we needed
With hopes unbowed
When time and time again
There was a time
Yes, there was a time
All those things we said
Striding recklessly through ages
Turning pages
Now silence stalks the space
Between the closing walls.
Chorus
You know there was a life
When life is all we had
when we talk out loud
When words were all we needed
Self belief unbowed
When time and time again
There was a life
Yes there was a time
How did we forget
How to laugh and how to smile
Darkness hides facts
We ignore the closing door
In detention camps they’re packed.
Chorus
You know there was a time
You know there was a life
When we laughed aloud
When love was all we needed
With hopes unbowed
When time and time again
There was a time
Yes, there was a time
How did we forget
how to care for one another:
Sisters, Brothers
Look... Eternity is laughing
from dark skies
Tech stuff.
