I haven`t seen a Bond movie in a while, so this must have started with a different spy for inspiration. Its the second Spirit Level Bond tune- "Spellbound" was our first a few years back. Production on this belongs to Scott. RBass:784 RDrums: Gospel SW16 RGuitar:2547 Acoustic RPiano:3526 RGuitar:2447 Cloak and Dagger there`s a prison called England the World Warrior left today killing calm in a briefcase pick a passport change the face there`s a hero he`s unworthy to close up the shroud a girl he betrayed sambas dream cloud bring a cloak for your master a dagger for the source come back so much wiser come back so much worse cloak and dagger cloak and dagger from a boy they called quiet his face in the dirt to the man who struck back the spy who struck first how will you get clean with your mind of many rooms a heart no one`s seen bring a dagger for your master a cloak for the source come back so much wiser come back so much worse cloak and dagger cloak and dagger © Robert Cordrey Sept. 2022 Cloak & Dagger

Hi Robert and Scott,
Great to see a new song from you two!
Man, I really like the way you write, Robert, great imagery! Love your vocal too, especially the harmonies.
Love your tone Scott! And your sense of melody also, you are playing some very cool lines.
Nice one!

Hello Robert & Scott. I always enjoy your level of spirit and how it raises the spirit in me. Cool opening. I enjoy your unique style of singing, Robert, and it's no secret how much respect I have for Scott's ability. You guys got down to the very essence of what it takes to be a spy AND what it takes out of the spy. Really cool bridge with harmony. The lyrics are always interesting and quite poetic. Scott, your taste is always so spot-on with the songs requirements.

Hi Robertkc,
Perfect symbiosis between your voice and Scott's guitar. The harmonies are pleasant. And all well done.

Mysterious and gloomy, Scott's playing can really paint the blood and excitement. Poetic and introspective story, different angle to a spy. Interesting vocals add to the mood, is that backing choir also an RT (was not listed)? Very creative work.

Was really happy when Robert came up with the idea for a new spy tune. This one can be the sequel to Spellbound. Maybe more sequels to come down the road. Thanks for all the awesome comments and for checking out the song. Your comments are very much appreciated.

Hi Robert and Scott,
Great to see a new song from you two!
Man, I really like the way you write, Robert, great imagery! Love your vocal too, especially the harmonies.
Love your tone Scott! And your sense of melody also, you are playing some very cool lines.
Nice one! Thanks Dave; I appreciate your endorsement of my writing- been out of the loop for a while so a little support goes a long way. We have a backlog of tunes coming now... I`m trying to catchup with Scott`s unflagging enthusiasm! Hello Robert & Scott. I always enjoy your level of spirit and how it raises the spirit in me. Cool opening. I enjoy your unique style of singing, Robert, and it's no secret how much respect I have for Scott's ability. You guys got down to the very essence of what it takes to be a spy AND what it takes out of the spy. Really cool bridge with harmony. The lyrics are always interesting and quite poetic. Scott, your taste is always so spot-on with the songs requirements. Marty, I`m glad you got the core of the write; I`m not a fan the Ken Doll smooth Roger Moore Bond type, but Daniel Craig lets us behind the mask and that`s what I was aiming at here. Thank you for your likes on this. Hi Robertkc,
Perfect symbiosis between your voice and Scott's guitar. The harmonies are pleasant. And all well done.
Kindly regard Derochette alias JaniJackFlash Thank you for listening Derochette! Nice! Good write, cool backing and lyric.

Poetic and introspective story, different angle to a spy. Interesting vocals add to the mood, is that backing choir also an RT (was not listed)? Very creative work.
Janne Janne, The bgv`s are from a synth choir Scott found. I agree his guitar captures the slightly ominous mood here;thank you for listening and commenting. Robert

“from a boy they called quiet his face in the dirt to the man who struck back the spy who struck first
how will you get clean with your mind of many rooms a heart no one`s seen”
This is a very serious spy story and reminds us of how much we enjoyed Ian Fleming’s early Bond novels.
As others mentioned Scott’s guitar and your vocals are such a good match and have an ethereal vibe.
Good arrangement and mix too!
Fine work from both of you.
J&B

Very Bond-like indeed, the intro wasn't really necessary to get the idea. Good work by both of you, I especially like the lyrics and how you deliver them. Unusual but well working choice of harmonies.
Cool stuff!

Robert & Scott, Very cool and unusual tune. Almost theatrical. Robert, you can sculpt lyrics very well! Clear vocals, but I wish they would be more upfront. Scott's signature guitar sound creates perfect mood. Solid production. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

J&B J&B, There`s a darker tinge to the Bond theme songs I like (Skyfall),though less of a story lyrically...but I can`t hold those big notes like Adelle so have to fill the space with more words! Thanks for you kind comments. I love these lyrics, Robert. I'm intrigued.
Vic Vic, I`m glad you found the write interesting- thanks for listening. Very Bond-like indeed, the intro wasn't really necessary to get the idea. Good work by both of you, I especially like the lyrics and how you deliver them. Unusual but well working choice of harmonies.
Cool stuff! B.D., I appreciate your thoughts; I thought Scott nailed that tell tale guitar intro passage. Thanks for your thumbs up on the lyrics. Robert I love that opening guitar. And the guitar throughout.
Vocal is really good.
I enjoyed the the whole tune and the feel of it all.
A Spirit Level top tune. That`s very kind Scott; thank you! Robert

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
