Description:
I heard this song by BTransue and was suddenly inspired to "sing all over it" at about 2:00 a.m. after consuming copious quantities of beer ..... the original instrumental by BTransue is here http://www.macjams.com/song/16098

Lyrics:
You won’t let me be
all that I can be
Let me spread out my golden wings
fly and be free
Let me bestow and shine upon you
all the gifts that are me

Don’t put a brown sack
over my head
you cover my smile
to dim my brilliant light
An angel in a plain brown wrapper
oh what a sight

There’s magic in this soul
it can mend and repair
the scars of all hurts
sadness and despair

Please don’t bind my wings
with a string so tight
it crushes my riches
my gifts of light
My wings must be spread
so that I may take flight
fly and be free
once again shine bright

She stands right beside you
to battle your war
although you won’t let her
she’ll always do more
An invisible creature that you cannot see
she’ll fight for you - and cry for you
that angel is free
that angel is me

This is so cool...call it collaborative Improv. Alannah and I discovered
yesterday that we're sort of...Improvisational soul mates of sorts, both
perfectly happy with what one conjurs up in the moment...any given
moment in time. All of the music I play is strictly improv, honestly, I just
don't know how to play anything else, and then here comes Alannah, who
magically transcends that inspiration to the next level. It's the essence of
what transpires in these moments that makes this language of music so
compelling. Thank you for adding your voice so honestly to this piece.

blues awash &mdash 02/21/06 - 11:34:30 AM
This is great! Definitely a great pairing of souls. I have a minor critique...
at the very very end, Alannah's voice volume drops when she says "me" in
the line "that angel is me", and its really hard to hear... I'd bost that word
a bit. But overall, a really nice piece, good lyrics, great guitar playing/
singing.
ttfn,
Drakonis

This is something else! &mdash 02/23/06 - 09:48:56 PM
Very imaginative and creative blues... nice pickin' Mr. Transue. Alannah-
your voice never ceases to captivate and amaze me. So nice to hear those
beautiful tones- you sound great with less reverb!

It's really a shame this song isn't getting more attention. Nice job to both
of you! ~Adam
