Thanks to Jim from The Infinites who finally gave this song what it needed - a voice.

Lyrics (These are the lyrics that I originally wrote for this song, but haven't used yet)

A light glows bright when she is near
And when she’s gone it disappears
She smells like rain and colored flowers
He could watch her float for hours

When she’s gone it hurts like fever
Burning lonely aching fever
Want to bury my dead heart
That longs for her and falls apart

Away the Raven

Black as hair and green as eyes
Electrostatic dream surprise
The rainbow at the pot of gold
The colors beautiful behold

Under her wings she loves the sky
Above the clouds so far up high
So near to God and flying closer
I believe that Heaven knows her

Away the Raven

Taste the sweet hot burning kisses
When she’s gone it’s what he misses
In the dark he stumbles for
The shadows she had left before

When she flies back home to him
The light inside will glow again
His head will reign like fragrant showers
Begging for her secret powers

Away the Raven

Hardware iMac G5, Oxygen 8 keys

Software: GB2

	good lyrics! Love the imagery in them. This'll sound really good done. There is some crackling, but it doesn't detract much.

	good lyrics! the levels sounded pretty good in GB but when they were imported into iTunes I noticed the crackle. I'm still refining it so one day you'll listen and it will be gone! (Hopefully)

	impressive Great sound... cool groove... nice artwork... I am really liking this one... I can imagine dark monotone vocals over this.

	five_extra_arms said 1151 days ago
	impressive Thanks Stun. If you feel monotone, give it a shot. I'd be honored.

impressive
You know, maybe I will some day... currently, however, my set up
doesn't easily allow this. I use GarageBand at work and can't record
vocals there. I have used my vocals in one of my tunes, but I recorded
them on video, extracted them in iMovie usind Wiretap, and then
imported them inro GarageBand. When this happens, for some reason,
the speed is slowed down slightly, so I wouldn't be able to sing along to
an existing song. Confusing, eh? I will keep this in mind, though!

	impressive wow. You are a slave to process, aren'tcha! My arms are tired just thinking about it!

	kickin' im asked me to check this out - what a great track (although it distorts quite a bit!). Really meaty, beefy bass and drums .... you gotta finish this Bob, sounds like a pop classic! Steve

The days before EQ
Hey Steve,

Honestly, I didn't know anything about GB when I wrote this tune. Levels? What are levels? I hoped that one day, someone like yourself would come to my rescue on this cool song of mine. Personally, it is my favorite of my songs, even incomplete. I liked the lyrics, but couldn't even begin to do anything with the vocals. Jim took care of that and maybe his version is the pop classic.

band file on demand!

	Reply here You do yourself a dis-service - this sounds great! I've been off work today with food poisoning (nice), and didn't do any work on our collab this weekend, as I got inspired and wrote another song, which sounds like A-ha covering 'Danny Boy' - I don't know if it's genius or crap. Will be in touch soon! Steve

	just back for the infinites version, I had to check this again. Though it goes over in the red, this is one of your finest melodies, beautifully brooding and one of your more poetic lyrics.

	One bad Mofo! This is music straight from the funky part of town, I got my fuzzy dice and my convertible is jumping top down with this blasting, heavenly scene

	five_extra_arms said 1151 days ago
	Nice guitar work Thank Jackstone, GB does allow some pretty cool guitar sounds doesn't it?

	five_extra_arms said 1151 days ago
	AWESOME... With all your ARMS! LOL! Thanks for the kind words. You're over the top!

	five_extra_arms said 590 days ago
	Brooding Thanks for listening CJ. I really appreciate the comments. I only wish I had the knowledge to mix those meaty guitars properly the first time. Maybe this song wouldn't have sat in the dust for so long! --- five extra arms does not help you sing any better.
