Description

This song is about.....nothing.
I wrote the tune. Found a piece of paper that I'd scribbled a few words. That was the chorus. The verses were written with magnetic fridge poetry.
I could have been oblique and said you had to guess what it was about.
Anyway. Hope you like it
many thanks to Ben Boldt fro his violin sound

Lyrics

Safely scented lullaby
Happy thought the memory cup
Silent sound the comfort flood
Great word from up above
Shine bright the children’s heart
End gift to punish love
Clock chime behind the scenes
View the landscapes iron splendour

Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again
In the night the starry sky
It’s all a picture in my eye
Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again

Beneath the danger zone
The choice of streams unfolds
This morning breaks the wheel
Sees you through good will crying

Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again
In the night the starry sky
It’s all a picture in my eye
Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again

Exhibit A the human zoo
Herded in two by two
Blunt spirit in a cage
All things springs eternal

Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again
In the night the starry sky
It’s all a picture in my eye
Pulled myself limb from limb
Pulled myself together again

Limb From Limb From Limb, etc...
I used to have 6 extra arms, but one was damaged in shipping....

Kingbee - your production skills continue to impress me from song to song to song. Your unique songwriting style continues to intrigue me as well. There are plenty of great lyrics in this one. You vocals are very expressive and they really sound awesome on this one.

Thanks for the download!

Question:
Did you find it more difficult so sing 'cut n paste' lyrics than ones that you have put the story to? It's good how you fitted the words. Nice note hold in the chorus, B!

As Bob said - production skills really are there. Also - top use of the violin indeed.

All simple, but extremely effective. Love the change into the chorus. DL'd again...! A very quick 3':57" - you must have enjoyed doing it - an extra 57 secs free from The Bee, heh heh!!

Cheers,

Jim

fitting in
Hi Jim
don't think I found it hard fitting the lyrics in.
I wrote the tune and was going mad because I wanted to get some lyrics for it.
I found the chorus on a scrap of paper and then wandered down to the kitchen and just started sticking stuff together and by a piece of luck it all fitted in.
The only thing that was hard was remembering all the words because they hadn't come out of my head.
Sorry I went over the 3 minute mark. I got carries away ;-)
Thanks for dropping in and your comments
cheers

	this song rocks althought I could not understand all the lyrics. Sounds like "keep moving forward" anyway, so that's cool. Thanks for sharing. Check out my latest song called Blues du 11ème

kingbee	kingbee said 315 days ago (January 15th, 2009)
	thank you I had trouble understanding the lyrics as well. I printed them at the top of the page for you..but I'm quite taken with your 'keep moving forward' line. I might have to use that in another song. Thanks for dropping in and your comments Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

	gorgeous Love the music, instrumentation, and fun abstruse lyrics. Great singing and playing. I might back the violin off very slightly, but other than that, excellent rich mix. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

kingbee	kingbee said 314 days ago (January 16th, 2009)
	Ta Glad you liked it. I'm still in the process of trying to understand how orchestral instruments should lie in a track. I use strings quite a bit but haven't used a violin before. You might be right that I should have let the violin sit a bit lower in the mix. Thanks for your comments. Cheers Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

	Like it! Great production, and I love the lyrics (sounds like they were done in the Bowie circa early 70s style). Reminiscences of Hotel California of course in the acoustic, but a very enjoyable tune - well played and sung. Top post! Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

	bowie That was in the back of my mind about Bowie. That documentary where he's just chucking bits of paper with words on the floor. I like that randomness of it. Thanks for dropping in and your comments Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

	Yeah Great tune. Like the tone of your voice with it's slight gravel. Nice to hear someone giving it a bit extra on the vocal. Check out my latest song called kooky dance

	Sounds great Not quite sure what the song is about, but at least it sounds very nice. Great mix with an exquisite balance of the instruments. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

kingbee	kingbee said 310 days ago (January 20th, 2009)
	Ta Vic The song isn't about anything. I wrote it with magnetic fridge poetry. I was so into the tune at the time I had to get some lyrics stuck on it before I lost the moment. Thanks for your comments and dropping i cheers Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

	All it takes is conviction - right? Excellent performance - meaning be damned. Ever listen to Oasis and try to figure out what they're songs are about. My wife considers them brilliant to be able to avoid any depth at all times. Great playing and expressive vocals. Enjoyed this. Check out my latest song called try not to think

Great Chorus
I really like your chours, especially the melody and chords. Very well recorded and instruments are well played. The title is also very good.

Not to be too picky, but you may want to watch the pitch on your singing. It seems as though you may go off in a couple of spots. Could be my ears, too, so if you like it tell me to sod off.

Very good song. Thanks for posting it.

	backing vocals Hi You're sort of right about being a bit off. I was trying to harmonies on the backing vocals and might have wavered a bit. It's not your ears. It's mine ;-) thanks for dropping in Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

	This is really good. Good sturdy songwriting and slick performance. Production is excellent too. Best use of fridge magnets I've ever seen in a song, I think. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	impressive Just love how you put this together, from the magnets to a masterful mix. Really loved how you make those guitar strings just ( ( (ring!) ) ), enhanced by tasteful warm string string stirrings and your powerful passionate voice. This was a treat for the ears.

	Producer?? Thanks Steve. Kind words indeed. I haven't got much of an idea about what I'm doing regarding production. Just panning a bit, keep the levels ok and stick a preset on the mix down. haven't even started to look into EQ and all that stuff. I must be doing something right ;-) Thanks for the listen and your comments Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

Thanks Smokey
All these great comments.
I'm chuffed that you think I should get an agent.
Too many years playing to unappreciative audiences on the acoustic circuit makes me doubt my abilities but the kind comments of you and other macjammers really makes a difference
I'll try to not let it go to my head ;-)
Thank you very much
