Lyrics

Hello my darling
Drink up your wine
Instead of sleeping
I just had in mind
Be mine

We made a promise
Can’t you recall
I’ve seen you trembling
Don’t worry it’s me
That’s all

Promised we’ll keep on
Promised we’d hold back
Horrible words instead

Promised the whole world
Promised to never die
Darling my heart’s on fire

Hello my fellow
Finish your meal
I’ve seen you talking
With people that were
Unreal

Lonely and sober
Smiling at you
I never hope that
I’ll do what I have
To do

Promised we’ll keep on
Promised we’d hold back
Horrible words instead

Promised the whole world
Promised to never die
Darling my heart’s on fire

Hello my darling
Drink up your wine
Instead of sleeping
I just had in mind
Be mine

	Interesting but not prog rock surely? Yeah, this is quite interesting but it's just not in the right genre. Lyrics are great but there's not enough going on in the song musically for my preference. Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

	very sparse perhaps a little too laid back but a very nice feel nevertheless

Minimalistic
Hey, thanks again Wildcat (I'm anxious to know your real name in fact). I was surprised someone commented on this song 18 months after the upload.
Well, this is my lowest-rated song so far, and I really can imagine why. It's just the most minimalistic. If you think you could add something to this song, just go ahead. Or if you want to use it as a base to a new song of yours, just let me know.

	I'm more of a Westvleteren man but there's nothing wrong with Westmalle. Unfortunately those beers are unfindable in the US. I dig this tune. Very low budget and low-fi. Sparse instrumentation, but that works just fine given the mood of the song. Interesting drum sound. EQ'ing, or some other effect? Very nice for late night listening.

I'm more of a Westvleteren man
Hey man, you got a real good and exlusive taste... for bears. Westvleteren has become the most wanted beer in the world I guess. People are lining up these days to get one lousy sixpack of this godly brewed liquid. Whenever you intend to come to Belgium, be my guest, and I won't let you go back before you tasted all of our 300 beers :-)

About the drum sound: yes, I did some Eq-ing to make it sound more as an isntrument, rather than a supporting beat. I might redo the vocals someday, because at that time I had a very lousy microphone.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Vic.
Cheers!
Walter

	This is smooth. It reminds me of a darker, and better worded, iteration of the song "Fever". Thanks for the post. It may be low-rated, but then it is lo-fi and lo-fi music isn't something everybody can get into. Keep rockin eight bits at a time, g Check out my latest song called 08nov08

	thanks Thanks for your comment on my 'lowest rated' :) One does not expect much reaction on a song that is online for almost two years already... Some day I will rework this song. - Walter --- Logic takes you from a to b. Imagination takes you everywhere. Check out my latest song called boundaries

	Dixon Melvinia This strikes me as a kind of Willie Dixon's "Weak Brain, Narrow Mind" run through the Melvins "Goose Freight Train" ... sludge minamalism. Excellent. Perhaps a bit of Television's math rock (Johnny Jewel) in there as well.
