Description
This is another collaboration with my brother Will, using words he sent me after his recent trip to India. I started this last night and it became one of those fast to finish songs that I'm posting because I'm afraid the more I mess with it, the more likely I am to screw it up. You may find it already screwed up - but often I like to blast through a song to retain the original energy and focus.
This song started as an attempt to capture the vibe of My Bloody Valentine - and ended up a bit more like U2 I guess. Hope you like - and I look forward to commments and criticism. Thanks to Will for the inspiring lyrics. Peace.

Lyrics
New Morning
Gandhi walked softly
on the path to his death
his sandaled steps
like petals on clear water.
He saw it coming, sooner or later,
like harvest or the full moon
rising over a sacred river.
When the assassin fired
doves fluttered from nearby trees
and peace took root
at the sound of their cooing.
It leafs and blossoms with the seasons
growing with beauty and strength
under the nourishing eye of each true beholder.
Which explains the smile (I saw it there)
that caressed his lips
as his song of life
like the stars winking out at dawn
gave way to a new morning.
Gandhi walked softly
on the path to his death
his sandaled steps
like petals on clear water.
He saw it coming, sooner or later,
like harvest or the full moon
rising over a sacred river.
When the assassin fired
doves fluttered from nearby trees
and peace took root
at the sound of their cooing.
It leafs and blossoms with the seasons
growing with beauty and strength
under the nourishing eye of each true beholder.
Which explains the smile (I saw it there)
that caressed his lips
as his song of life
like the stars winking out at dawn
gave way to a new morning.

Impressed by your songwritting skills. Very good, well written, beautiful arrangements. Love the swirling loops, yeah, U2, Simple Minds or, basically, The Who. Good guitars, good rythm section.
Your voice sounds better from post to post, but I feel it lacks a bit of confidence on such a lyrical piece. Also doubling the voice doesn't really work for me, probably not enough difference or delay between them, but it's a technical thing i'm far from beeing an expert.
Last points are just for the pleasure of quibbling, so don't take the piss, I'm simply jealous.
You and your brother made a really great song.
Cheers bud ! (I should have said "peace" but it's not really my culture...)
