Lyrics

I'll take you there

I'll take you anywhere

Across the county line

To the sea

Just you and me

	I am overwhelmed with emotion!!! This is soooo... there are no words!!!

	. ... thank you Carole Check out my latest song called RUOK

	This is so.. beautiful in it's simplicity, (though I guess it wasn't so simple to do). So-o-o-o relaxing and I love the shimmering violins, M Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

	Just as an afterthought, it's a pity there's no way to remove the metronome when the song is finished in GB, M --- It's never too late.... is it? Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. i occasionally really get into minimalism. and you're right. leaving out things is difficult. it's so tempting to add more and more... thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Opening into the universe... and what did you discover there? Surely you didn't disappear! I think you should write part two to this and let us know whaqt happens next. I like the slow build and thn the fading clock. It is very effective. Check out my latest song called Emma, by davisamerica

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. hi Roxylee - who knows if i ever come back here? i was thinking about that tv show Cosmos (Sagan)... i'm into the sound of clocks i guess thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

..
this is a great film scoring .. love it. Has that
sweet simplicity and nice swells on the strings ..
good mix too.

I would use some sample for the clock that was more
clock like eg. an occasional chiming grandfather clock
instead of your more metronomic sound myself. Small
nit needless to say .. you could try The Freesound Project, just requires attribution of any samples
used.

Kudos.

Check out my latest song called Anyway

	. actually, i've used Freesound Project quite a bit - a nice resource - and if you leave a note on the sample that you used it on your song, often you'll get a wonderful reply as well. it's way fun! here, i guess i wanted a very simple metronomic tick. although it's about time, i wanted to avoid clocks. if that makes sense. thanks!

	Time Taking time to unwind. This is the way. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Sex tet

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. yes! regardless of all the other stuff that may or may not be implied here, there is one simple thing about this song. it is a song for your own "unwinding time". thanks for picking up on it. Check out my latest song called RUOK

	great space A very nice 'mood' piece -- I can visualize different film sequences that this would be nestled naturally in. Have you submitted tracks for film licensing? Check out my latest song called Little Perfect*

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. i know what you mean. i have listened to this many times, even after posting it, and i keep seeing different scenarios... i guess it's just blurry enough to pattern match with lots of possible places. thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 2156 days ago (June 29th, 2007)
	time what really got me thinking here. was J. lennon singing on this. something in style of the imagine timeline. Nice work on the strings they come up and envelop the ears. Another excellent piece, Bill. Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. i think i know what you mean. it's that piano part... it's about as minimal as you can get. only the iiib is a tad unusual, and that is something the Beatles used quite often... thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	simply fantastic a very moving piece ! all high marks on this one smokey. i can't help it but, i think i'm gonna have to break out my guitar and play along with this. Check out my latest song called can't get the blues

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2150 days ago (July 5th, 2007)
	. i say go for it! if need be, i could put up an open collab version of this to allow people to add what they like to it. let me know. there is a lot a "open space" here to let the listener fill it in with what's in their head. thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Beautiful. Just beautiful. Cheers Len Check out my latest song called B E A U T I F U L

	. i'm glad you enjoyed thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

Magritte	Magritte said 2146 days ago (July 9th, 2007)
	So evocative. Vangelis comes to mind here a bit, with all the cheezy parts stripped off. It does have a lovely metronomic feel conveying the slow, sad(?), and inevitable progression of time. A great example of storytelling by simplicity. Check out my latest song called Tango Macabre

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 2146 days ago (July 9th, 2007)
	. i'm glad you mentioned Vangelis - Roxylee almost got there by mentioning the universe... i'm pretty sure the music from Carl Sagan's Cosmos influenced me here... thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

	I remember being here before and reading the tau thing. I must have gotten distracted before posting my comment on this stately tune. Well played and arranged - I like the slow intro of more voices and the tempered way in which you use them. Check out my latest song called ditto
