The sky was coming down All around the stars Footprints in the night Lighting up the dark Like a path or a tunnel through the haze Like an axe coming down to spilt the days She’s a vision up against the fading light She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline It could have been Detroit Or a condo by the sea In the middle of the night In Kansas City Like a jet or a rocket to the sun Like a war that never will be won I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline All BIAB Tracks: 366: Electric, Bass, Country Ev 065 365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 2916: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryFolk8thBrent Ev 085 2906: Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm BluesyPopMike Ev 100 2446: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Background Ev 065 Loop: Pop-Soul-RnB-Chill_100_Strings_Legato RealDrums: NashvilleEven8 a:sidestick b:snare, HiHat As always - thanks for listening!

The baritone guitar is really effective, and fits in like it was written for this song. I also like your use of weak rhymes in the first verse - stars/dark, path/axe. The line She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight is especially cool. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Also really like: "She’s a vision up against the fading light She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight" Nice production, very effective starting off with just the guitars. And that baritone guitar fits your material so well, such a great sound! Makes me want to buy one Another great song, my new favorite I think.

I wouldn't call them weak rhymes - the are "family" rhymes and more from the frictive set... Nice backing and chord progression.

I'm really loving your arrangements, when those drums come in, it's like thunder. And the baritone punctuates in all the right places. Another catchy and cool song, Kenny
