Description

This is an improved (hopefully!) version of something I first posted almost a year ago as my first foray into vocals. I've recorded new vox with a few extra verses, beefed up the drums (DoD) and tried to improve the overall mix. Any feedback gratefully received.
cheers and thanks for listening,
phil

Lyrics

When the chips are down will you stand by me
When the day is done and all is set to be
If my senses fail will your love prevail
Will you cut the rope, release and set me free
Release and set me free

If I lose the way will you stay with me
Will you help me find an exit from the maze
When our days grow short and the night draws in
Can I count on you to light the fire within
To light the fire within

If our ship goes down will you cling to me
Will you stop me slipping deep beneath the waves
And I’ll try my best …. I won’t give up the quest
For the hidden truth that draws us to the light
That draws us to the light

	Yes! I like this. Interesting lyrics. Great vox and harmonies. Oh yeah---great lead solo. A tad more volume on the drums might be a good thing, but overall the mix is very pro. Nicely done Phil! Be well! Check out THE CAVE: http://www.macjams.com/song/20883
