I have a new thing I wanted to submit but having recorder issues...alas…so instead of that here’s a song from about a year and half ago, recorded last year. A(nother) song about the world’s most monumentally devastatingly catastrophically remarkable woman.
http://www.box.net/shared/romk2jr8u6I believe it’s two Hummingbird tracks and the one vocal track, all through an AT2020 mike and into a Fostex VF80 8-track…a bit of EQ tweakage...output file converted to mp3 via Switch.
Lyrics:
Other Side of the Sun
by Michael David Martin © 2008
I can see you when I close my eyes
I have learned to memorize
You can feel me running up along/side
Without a doubt you read my mind
On and on and on and on
The time is now the day is gone
The rite of spring/seems like it was only yesterday
But it’s half a year away
On the other side of the sun
I can see you when I leave the world
Back in black velveteen
You can hear the legend in/the waltzing song
If you want to play along
Rainfall ricocheting on the metal roof above
All those rivers dammed up/it’s reminiscent of
A flood of unrequited love
It’s only love
I know this will never come to be
Me and you/you and me
An all-too-mortal man/a demi-goddess
Conjuring her thunderstorms
Look at me I’m soaking wet
I do not know which is worse
Is it Aphrodite’s curse or the fall from grace
When I climb/higher than I shoulda done
But I know she’s the one
On the other side of the sun
about them!
