Description 2nd post - actually the first song we tried to put together (3 years ago) after many inactive years. Its sloppy and loose and we never did get around to filling in the gaps. Or playing the solos. And it needs a good edit. And...
Originally it was going to be called Cliché and there sure are a lot of them in there but I had fun putting them all together and I think that says it all!

Lyrics I’m flying, clouds are rolling out around my head
I wish I was back on the ground instead
I’m riding, surfaces & circuses and steam
Everything that happens is exactly like it seems

I can’t believe I’m making this go up again
I’m setting myself up to fall, I’m climbing up that wall
Don’t be surprised to find me landing at your feet
Fall into a heap, It’s all to easy to slip
Want him next to me but I’m going to have to get over it


Oh, did I mention, I saw someone looked just like you… in a bar.
It could have been your sister, but no way as pretty as you are!
Uh….I can’t believe I just said that - it wasn’t what I called you up to say
Never dreamed I’d say out loud the silly things I think about
I can’t believe I’m making this up in my head
It never rains unless it pours wet like cement of course
Don’t be surprised if I stop answering your calls
Oh, I thought you called me? definitely losing my grip
Want ASAP but I’m going have to get over it

I’m cooking on stupid signs, too hard basket, hopes & rhymes
I’m a fish on an open line, hooked and all at sea
What does he think of me? What does he think I see?


Now I’m flying, clouds are rolling down around my feet
Never planned on taking flight, guess I’m a tank of super-light
Gliding, circling, fall into a heap
I’m a crash into the ground; I am the rain that’s pouring down
Why can’t you see I’m making this up in my head
Set a flame to catch your eye to set your soul alight
Don’t be surprised to find these ashes at your feet - throw them on in the sea
Just a little piece of grit and that’s why I can’t see
But I’m going have to get over it

Oh yes!
Joe - a killer - Peter does those harmonies so nicely (as ever) - is Jed on bass?

I'd counsel posting one at a time, but you'll sure make an impression with these two!

Thanks neil
you have been a power of inspiration and 30 years on (omg 30?) its great to be making music "together" again. Yes Jed and Peter both feature on this one - now if only I could convince Peter to get writing and singing again... sigh!

said 270 days ago
Fantastic!!!!
Beautiful song.
I love your singing and it sounds so heart felt and sincere I love it.
I hope you are over it now. You could certainly be flying with this song.
Its brilliant. Thanks for sharing I am downloading this one to my Ipod.
Peace Dee.



ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
over it? never!
ha. Thanks Dee. I am so glad you liked. It certainly was a labor of love and was the song that eventually led me back to singing and making music again.

MarkHolbrook said 270 days ago
Well
This deserves a finish. I hope do give it some more time! I like it a lot!

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
hey thanks
I do hope to re-work this one day and finish it - unfortunately lost a lot of the parts when i closed the "studio" down one day without saving properly and it's a little lonely and sad when i go back there and the room is empty :(
One day though!

aclarke said 270 days ago
I'm a fan
especially since I'm a sucker for harmonies. Nothing wrong with sloppy and loose... or from another perspective- free and easy. Really has the feel of a live jam.. nice and relaxed, like after a couple of glasses of wine.

Another nice one- really like the bridge!

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
I'll have a red thanks
and then a white...and a few pills - oops, no wait, i am definitely over it now lol. Thanks Adam. Singing about falling in love sure is easier than doing it. And eventually you get to have a laugh.

screamalexz said 270 days ago
...
nice lyrics. a good song. cant think of anymore in depth to say lol sorry.

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
thanks
and appreciate the compliment!

jgurner said 269 days ago
Very nice
If this is "sloppy and loose" I'll take it any day. A very nice tune. I love the harmonies. Very nice and tight. And finally, someone who can singer higher than me ;)

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
hey Joe - oops, i couldnt resist that!
I can't really sing high but i was in love and getting squeezed at the time LOL. Thanks for listening

Ejh said 269 days ago
I'm having this early impression...
...that you guys may have, long ago, heard some Moby Grape. Tell me I'm wrong...

Nice sort of run-on lyrics that nevertheless have form and structure to 'em. The multi-guitars, bass, and harmonies really bring it to life. I find myself listening hard to the harmonies.

This is cool in rough form, but I'll also look forward to any tighter versions that ever see the light. It's easy to hear how far this could go...

Ed

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
Moby who?
just kidding! They were so wrong and so right - what a mighty band. So much talent and so many great songs - the guitar figure from "She" pops into my head at least once every week.
I would never have picked their influence on this one (more George & Tammy?) but i do love being able to go through and spot the references. Even the cheesy ones are fun. Thanks Ed, one day we'll get back and finish it.

Feter said 269 days ago
Over It
Loved it ...the guitar sound slike 12 strings ..
the harmony feels so good .ye the bass boomin
so solid there .Just a great track my freind
so glad you shared this with us here ..what
a gem !!

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
its all about - flying
and that was the other, other original title. But enough with the Byrds references! I have to admit i also love the harmonies (Peter) and Jed's flowing bass lines. It's unfinished and a bit indulgent but we like that sometimes lol

thoddi said 269 days ago
Now I%u2019m flying
You sound pretty pro here.
Very good stuff, and again a very well crafted song.

Love those harmonies.

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
big thanks
I think Peter is a great singer and he loves to get his head around the harmonies - the stranger the better.

Skean said 269 days ago
Very pro
I love all in this... Hard to find words it is just so cool... Cheers

Kenta

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
Glad to share it
and glad you enjoyed it - it was a good place to re-start for us

lengold said 269 days ago
Wonderful
What a beautiful song! Pro production and fantastic lyrics/vocals.
Cheers
Len



ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
too kind!
hope we can keep surprising and delighting you with some new stuff and thank you for the encouragement.

said 269 days ago
nicely done
world weary vocal tells a tale of .....well i'm not sure WHAT the tale is - but it sure has an interesting flavor! wonderful chord progressions and some really cool changes. swell harmony - not the usual run of the mill stuff, either. who is the HIM in "i want HIM next to me but i'm gonna have to get over it"? unusual song, and i sure like it!
anne



ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
HIM? hey its all about MEEEE!
Ha - actually it's US now, but that will probably be a another song altogether. I am so glad you enjoyed it - i have become a big fan of your stuff (and a whole lot of other people on here too) and i sure hope i can seduce you into singing something with us (no, not THAT us lol) sometime.

Joe Brady said 268 days ago
Cliches well placed
Sounds great to me. I love the melody line and the execution of the lead vocal. The bass takes the lead comfortably to my ear. A pleasure to listen; give me more.

ILoveVariousArtists said 268 days ago
real men eat cliche...
I thought the bass in this was a great foil and once i got the drum track to sit ON the beat instead of off it, the song shifted into gear and took off. Thanks for stoppin by and for the kind words.

Jarvoid said 268 days ago
Good one
...I love that instrumental break just before last verse...it was just a tate of the Who and damnit there is something about the whole sound that is familiar....but is it familiar cos it is mostly unique?Aha a conunderdrum....condudru....conder...balls...a
mystery...Like it a lot

Jarvo

ILoveVariousArtists said 267 days ago
yes them too
another great band and i'm sure there are some of their influence floating around in there. Glad you enjoyed and big thank.

lavalamp said 266 days ago
I understand
Read your description and know what you mean. I have tons of songs where I said, "I fill the gaps in later", but never did.

This is country. Great country music. Better than the stuff you can hear on the radio more in the style of the Eagles or Dylan.

Good, good song gentlemen.

Dave

ILoveVariousArtists said 265 days ago
Thanks Dave
of course we WILL get back to it later....hmmm...yeah right! :)

said 258 days ago
Great!
Very nice piece. I'm enjoying your work with the band. You're a very talented guys with your work... you all did a great job. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Take Care
