Description:
a midtempo bittersweet ballad - in A

Lyrics:
high above and down below
in between us soft and low
the sky's alight tonight

half a truth and half a lie
maybe now we'll say goodbye
and I'm alright tonight

I'm alright tonight

babydoll is bittersweet
she's battered up and can't compete
and I don't know why

everything is neatly tied
no one's gonna get inside
and I don't even try

and I'm alright tonight

I would gladly let it pass me by
'cause nothing matters much tonight

a single teardrop from your eye
drains the color from the sky
but I won't ever cry

you leave a mark for me to find
everything you leave behind
but I don't have the time

and I'm alright tonight......

Hardware:
G5 Dual 2 GHz

Brian, this is a uber-smooth tune. I love the acoustic tone you get. Clear, and warm. I love the turn of phrase "a single tear drop from your eye, drains the color from the sky" great lyric, great word picture.

Thanks for your music, it's the real deal.

Thanks, Roy. I'm glad you like. The acoustic is my Gibson J-200 - recorded flat with minimal reverb and echo. I actually changed my strings for this one!

What a song. Lyrically brilliant and the musical end was just fantastic. Lots of production chops with a great progression, fab backing vocals and that cool mellotron line.

one of those lost neil young classics. nice detail in the recording, the mellotron fits perfectly in here as well. And a great big chorus to top the bill. this is already a classic rock number!
