This is a remix of a vocal song I did 5 years ago featuring Mystified's vocal talents during the bridge. Just Mysti's and my pipes... no enhancements.

Thanks for listening,

Lyrics
I can laugh if I want to
Let out a little cry
But you'll never hear a single word about it
Till they stick another needle in my eye

The grass was always greener on my side of the fence
Now the blades are dim
It makes no sense
I feel like I'm on the dark side of the moon
Someone help me
Out of this room

I can laugh if I want to
Let out a little cry
But you'll never hear a single word about it
Till they stick another needle in my eye

(ethereal passage)

So now the time has come to make a big decision
Of whether or not to worry about my mission

Instead I'll sing
Let it ring
I'm gonna fill your ears
And hide my fear

I'm gonna sing, sing, yeah

Every day I sit and wonder what my life will bring
There's so much that I can do if I could only sing

(Ooooohs)

I can laugh if I want to
Let out a little cry
But you'll never hear a single word about it
Till they stick another needle in my eye

This is the
first time I have ever heard a 'song' from you and it is definitely very impressive. Really liking your vocal and Cat's addition is wonderful. Amazing arrangement.
Are you still working with Jon Anderson? I can see why he would be drawn to you.
Would have liked to have seen the lyrics.
Great stuff.
Cheers

Len, You talked me into it...
...I added the lyrics. Thanks so much for listening and for the insightful comments. I am still working with Jon. It will be two years this October. He said his Summer Tour was great and healthy on many levels.

Very cool harmonies
That is what stuck out to me on this song. Love the vocal inflections with the harmonies following it. I do that sometimes in my stuff as well. Awesome job.

I had actually sent PF's "The Great Gig in the Sky" to Mysti as a guide vocal for stylizing this tune! I always loved the strings of ELO, too. Thanks for your wonderful words, and for faving.

Yes, sing!
Great vocal harmony and strings, and Cat adds the wonderful Mystified ethereals. This song brings back memories of my eye operations. I can't drive, but I can still sing about the fact that I can still see my grandchildren smile, clouds and trees and flowers. This song is a tribute to hope.

thanks for sharing
Alimar ! Of course it is always a great pleasure to hear Mystified's wonderful voice too !

Lots of interesting sounds, like the classical mixed in with the uptempo sounds later on as well. Nice singing on your parts as well.

Thanks again !

God bless !

Great
Loads of reality here, having a tiny idea of what you must be going through, I can fully appreciate the sentiments and feelings express here.
Brilliantly sung lots of 'Lamb Lies Down' influence here, which is no bad thing.

Love it.

I never thought this had a "lambish" (Carpet Crawlers?) feel to it. Thanks for pointing it out to me! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Also, thanks for your consideration.
