Description:
This song belongs to Bob of Five Extra Arms fame - it appears in his works from 2005. By good fortune, he had the foresight to post some excellent words to go with the tune.

It's only now that a vocal has been added. I've given it my best shot - I'm happy with the outcome - see what you think.

Switch channels to 5EA's site to hear other collabs from us...

Hope you enjoy - more where this came from in a JimBob manner of speaking...Five Infinite Arms.

Jim

Lyrics:
A light glows bright when She is near
And when She’s gone it disappears
She smells like rain and colored flowers
I could watch Her float for hours

And when She’s gone it hurts like fever
Burning lonely aching fever
I want to bury my dead heart
That longs for Her and falls apart

Away the Raven, Away the Raven

Black as hair and green as eyes
Electrostatic dream surprise
The rainbow at the pot of gold
Colors so beautiful; behold!

Under Her wings She loves the sky
Above the clouds so far up high
So near to God and flying closer
I believe Heaven really knows Her

Away the Raven, Away the Raven

Taste the sweet, hot, burning kisses
When She’s gone it’s what I’m missing
In the dark I stumble for
The shadows She has left before…

And when She flies back home to me
The light inside will glow to me
My head will reign like fragrant showers
Begging for Her secret powers

Away the Raven, Away the Raven,

Away the Raven, Away the Raven…………

Thank you for commenting &mdash 04/22/07 - 04:38:23 AM
I much prefer to hear Bob's voice, however I thought that his tune and lyrics were being tucked away in danger of being lost, so I had a shot at singing and it seems to work.

You can find Bob at Five Extra Arms (include the spaces!). We have a song there called Indian Rocks.

There's more to come from us!

Thanks again,

Jim

Realy good &mdash 04/22/07 - 10:45:41 AM
Like the singng and Five extra's music, Hes a talentED guy. the vocals seem to strong and the drums to far in the distance besides that this is realy good

Agree &mdash 04/22/07 - 11:01:52 AM
The vox is way up there - trying to ensure Bob's lyrics are well presented, but totally take your point.

I hardly touched the original - remember the track is a very early Bob rendition, so maybe a bit of TLC required to correct the levels, Ta for the feedback.

Stellar Performance! &mdash 04/22/07 - 02:33:35 PM
You're such a talented singer/song writer! I'm glad you rescued this little melody and turned it into a song. Your vocals are amazing. What a voice! After almost 2 years of not knowing how to treat the lyrics, you arrive at my doorstep with a fantastic surprise. I couldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

It's a great pleasure writing songs with you, Mr Infinites.

Now Mac Jammers, go listen to Jim playing all the music on this other cool tune he and see just how talented he is!

80's cool groove &mdash 04/23/07 - 03:17:00 AM
Bobs a big romantic git, isn't he?? You've got a good voice, Jim - the Scottish lilt just comes through on it. This is a dreamy track with lovely sweeping keys, and your voice really works with this. The vocal does however stand out a bit - I don't think it's just volume, may be the EQ-ing on it. Like the whispers at the end!

Bob's A Git &mdash 04/23/07 - 12:17:53 PM
Guilty as charged!

For me, the Scottish lilt is fresh and unexpected treatment of these lyrics. I really think we need more Scottish lilt at Mac Jams. Wouldn't everyone agree?

Great idea &mdash 04/23/07 - 05:17:33 AM
to unearth this song. The voice gives extra-depth to the beautiful dark electropop melody, and really fits the overall mood. Personally I don't mind the way the vocals are upfront.

Unearthed &mdash 04/23/07 - 02:20:08 PM
I agree that the voice gives extra-depth to the song.

To my ears, that's what was missing.

Like your stuff &mdash 04/23/07 - 07:40:34 AM
I enjoyed the song and love the lyrics. The voice is little bit too loud for my taste. I'd like to hear some more bass on it. But, that's just me.

Cheers for the comments - &mdash 04/23/07 - 12:42:51 PM
this is what we want / need. It's all fixable. Sounded the biz direct from GB but as usual mp3 / iTunes skews it a bit.

Just wait 'til me n BOB actually harmonise(ize). Surprise Bob! We have to now go figure...!

LOL!!

PRE MJ version sounded BIZ &mdash 04/23/07 - 01:56:44 PM
Yeah - Jim's right, the mix sounded better before it hit MJs. (no insult intended admin)

So Jim, how are things?

better late than... &mdash 05/11/07 - 03:52:13 PM
I'm very well, esp after an outrageously wild tip to NYC!

Let's do it again!

I really meant to say trip &mdash 05/11/07 - 04:01:57 PM

Has It Been 3 Months Since MPD?? &mdash 08/09/07 - 12:45:24 PM
It just can't be true!

Just had to hear this song again, my friend.


Really love what you did.
