Lyrics

summer haze
windy morning
i haven't seen you
in a thousand years

it's been a wild ride
today is yesterday
i close my eyes and
today is yesterday

runaway
i mourn your absence
now i embrace
your precious return

summer haze
windy morning
tomorrow brings another pang
of guilt and fear and rage

runaway
i mourn your absence
the day you left
has gone on forever

	Good! My only critism is that there doesn't feel to be clear emphasis on the main instruments- this adds a trippy feel but is also slightly jarring! Check out my latest song called The Voyage

	Excellent Wow on the production (vocal especially). It made me wonder what the world of music would be like now if GarageBand were around in 1966.

	If today is yesterday... ...then that means tomorrow is actually today, which is yesterday which means the day after tomorrow would have to be today making yesterday tomorrow.

Today is the Yesterday
we'll worry about tomorrow. A helter skelter ode
ressurecting the spirit of the lizard king channeled thru
baron von tollbooth and the chrome nun. A happy trail of
quicksilver eight miles higher than an atomic rooster
watching big brother and uncle john's band eat hot tuna
and a moby grape. It's a beautiful day as - summer haze
is in my brain.

A lovely tune by the joans.

If I had...
...a record label I would sign you guys up in a heart beat (and
I mean even before signing myself). One listening and this
song is stuck in my head! This is by far one of your best
mixes (I know I keep repating myself), but WOW. The
saxophone is fat, love it. A lot of Velvet vibes, maybe even
some Greaful Dead!? Love it, love it, it loves me!

Peace!

Lazy and crazy
I visualize a garage band playing in ripped T-shirts in an
old warehouse. Quite tired and/or just plain lazy. Just
pumping out the words ands music without being
bothered too much by strict cadence. The woman who
lives in the cottage across the street from the parts factory
can take it or leave it.

The music is done. What now? Drink beer and watch static
on TV?

I get a feeling of anemia listening to this. Doesn't mean
it's bad. It simply means we all can't donate blood today.

	Lazy and crazy I voted 8787, in case you got the impression from my goofy description above that I didn't like the song. I actually do like it. It matches the angst and deflation of spirit I feel some days. Please don't take my free-wheeling associations too seriously. I'm just an old fart.

	said 1583 days ago (July 27th, 2005)
	Second listen On second listen, I get a better impression of this song. Forget my characterization as "lazy". I should have said "laid back". Laid back is good. What I want to hear most in a future mix of this is more immediacy to the vocals. They are set too far back in the reverberating warehouse space. Great job, guys.
