Hi All, Here's something called Light Years. All the graves are in the backyard And people move on there’s no doubt Now I see the changing of the guard Separate pathways a different route No need to wave flags in the air The stars won’t see them anyway I sometimes just look up and stare Still the same sky different day And it's full speed into the light years Shift through all the tired dreams There’s a new moon on the mountain If I can fly this old machine Take a bus to New York City And see your face in every mile This old Trailways is a pity It can run but it can’t fly And it's full speed into the light years Shift through all the tired dreams There’s a new moon on the mountain If I can fly this old machine BIAB Real Tracks / Loops: 1036: Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 1596: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev 065 1600: Guitar, Acoustic, High-Strung Rhythm Pop16ths Ev 065 1599: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop16ths Ev 065 Loop: Chillout/Chillout - dimensions_145_choir RealDrums: RockNorthern a:Snare, HiHat Closed, b:Snare Thanks for listening!

Your album would fit nicely on the Dylan/Lennon stack, Bob. What a good song. You came up with the perfect melody to present the lyrics, and sang them with feeling. Well said.

Love the arrangement! Very effective the way you bring in the electric and the choir. Acoustic guitars sound great, are you doing additional processing on them? Everything sounds great actually, nice mix through the 'phones. Really good, Bob

Bob,
"All the graves are in the backyard..."
A great opening line.
And it maintains that quality throughout.
An Excellent write!
An excellent Band and a terrific production/arrangement.
Maintains the "live band" feel/sound with just the right amount of build to keep it interesting/moving. And an excellent mix.
Your usual (so good) signature vocals!
So good!

Bob,
The world weariness in your vocal is a great fit with the lyrics, which paint an interesting picture... feels like we are being dragged into an uncertain future!
The simple instrumentation with everything sounding so clear is tasteful- the choir a good choice.
Btw-The line about Trailways made me think of highways which will soon be without Greyhound buses up here in Canada.
Fine songwriting.
Robert

Great sound, Bob. I like the way you've altered the meaning of 'light years' in the lyrics (which are very good).
Regards,
Leon

Nice mix and build - the synth was especially nice. Poetic write, and as Robert said, world-weary vocals to match. Well done - I enjoyed listening!

A strong narrative.
Well done.
