The Travel Song

as we journey, into the great tomorrow
we will see,
all around us, all around us
all the people who have come from so far away
and they look weary, and they look weary,
we will smile, and offer our friendship
offer our sanity, offer serenity

they turn to look for the tangible,
look as they will, they cannot find
the crucible of the devotion
look here and there, come what may

all they see, is apathy
in the faces of everyone else
then a man, with LIGHTS in his eyes,
shows them the way, and then he explains,
he understands.

everywhere that i go,
everywhere that i see,
everywhere that i know,
everywhere, that is me.

journey, to everywhere.
journey, to everywhere.
you are here, you are there,
you are there, you are there.

Following light, Following light.

I travel with you now,
following light. giving me sight.
stand, steady as a stone,
directing me, calm as the sea.

following light.
 
Did a brand new version of "The Travel Song" today....

new mix, added guitar parts, deleted some vocal parts, re-eq'd the whole thing.
lightened up on the overall compression.
still not sure of the intensity of the bass guitar in this mix...
 
nice job.....recorded very well. your music continues to be very unique. your approach to melodies and phrasing remind me alot of steve vai on his vocal songs. I mean that as a compliment.

the places you take your songs from a melody standpoint are not where I think they are going which helps make your stuff pretty fresh to my ears.
 
alright Masque, thanks for breaking the ice.

you do that.......so well.

:mrgreen:

trying to break new ground with riffs and melodies is not easy...
it's all been done before.

but that is my goal.

i'm constantly trying to edit myself that way...
if it sounds too obvious, or too familiar, or too typical...
i try to scratch it, and approach it from another angle.


this is a waltz.

:lol:
