Lyrics

Won’t You Tell Me

Something falling from the sky
I don’t know where, I wonder why
It’s been so long I felt this way
I won’t stay another day

Won’t you tell me
Won’t you let me know it’s true

Footsteps creeping down the hall
Faking feathers on the door
All the time the window’s sealed
Ceiling spins and disappears

Won’t you tell me
Won’t you let me know it’s true

Hiding secrets no one knows
Put my boots on, then I go
Frozen people, shattered dreams
Pawns and farmers, kings and queens

Won’t you tell me
Won’t you let me know it’s true

Language spoken seems unreal
For the robbers there to steal
Seen unknown and seen a spark
Seen the light on through the dark

Won’t you tell me
Won’t you let me know it’s true

Faking Feathers
This is really cool stuff Dave. I guess a trip to the left coast was more than good for you. You have some really crazy lyrics going on here. Really interesting poetry, for sure. I am really enjoying the first song I've heard all year. Nice overall vibe with your vocal mix and that cymbal is really well used too.

Happy New Year Dave.

I look forward to 2009 and the music that will make it fantastic.

Cool
As other people have commented, this has a sweet Beatles infuence, but I'm also hearing that late 90's Manchester England, House Rock style, (Oasis) who were also influenced by the fab four. Cool effects on the vocals and the overall production is great. Very catchy melody and groove. I do wonder if it might be cool to use a single vocal track for parts, maybe for the 2nd part of the verse or on a bridge or somewhere like that. May give the listener a little more vocal variations to tune into. Just a thought. Nice stuff.

Check out my latest song called Falling Stars Forgotten

	2009... Happy new year man. Starting 2009 with a more pop direction, i like it! Lots of cool subtle stuff here - the chorus is great - love the guitar. And the 4/4 keys throughout. And the distortion in the bridge. I imagined an army of whistlers at the end. Check out my latest song called Get Away with Murder Eyes (5XArms Cover)

	hey first of all... Magical Mystery Tour is not a film to be embarassed by. It's so strange and wonderful. "All this mud, IN 45 MINUTES!?" God I love that movie. Oh yeah, you posted a great song, too. I'm really impressed with how this one moves. It's very clean sounding and those strings really stand out. Check out my latest song called Times Have Changed

lavalamp	lavalamp said 323 days ago (January 7th, 2009)

	Love it! David, your songs always bring me to the sixties. I don't know if you are old enough to remember them (they say if you remember them you weren't there; not always true, you had to come down sometime). Anyway you really always capture that feeling and it is a real treat for me to listen to your music. Very well done. Stephen Check out my latest song called Love's Fingers Fall

	Cool imagery Very interesting lyrics... in particular I liked: "Footsteps creeping down the hall Faking feathers on the door All the time the window’s sealed Ceiling spins and disappears" Also like how you doubled the vocal... creates a really cool vibe and natural effect. Very nice, Dave! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki
