Description:
My brother willnlf got a Zoom H2 digital recorder for his birthday. So now instead of just emailing me lyrics for our songs together - he can also lay down a version as he hears it. This is the first such version with Will playing guitar and singing to the Zoom. I liked what I heard so much that I decided to work with the demo and added a little accordion, bass and percussion. I hope you all enjoy this new take on the Budwill Industries sound.
Stay tuned later in the month for our Lost Songs entry.
Lyrics:
I fell asleep in the silence
Between each quiet song
As the sun shone through the bedroom blinds
One sleepy afternoon
Stretched out on my welcome bed
After a busy day at work
The shuffle of Bob Dylan
Diz, Washington and Krall
In just those few quick seconds
Between ending note and new
I’d slip into that magic place
A dream, or none, or few
And for those precious moments
I’d leave the world behind
The warm sun like a tonic
To calm my busy mind
But then a muted trumpet
Dinah’s Since I Fell for You
Or the chords of Dylan’s bright guitar
Tangled Up in Blue
Would lift me back awake again
Like a man who has amnesia
Diana’s soft A Blossom Fell
Diz’s Night in Tunisia
Song or sleep, sleep or song
For an hour I just drifted
Along a stream of harmony
Serenaded by the gifted
Neil was there and old Steve Earle
Mingus and Chris Smither
Gillian Welch and Dave Van Ronk
Cash and Buena Vista
And which a dream and which awake
The world that I inhabit
Like Keats’ enchanted Nightingale
It’s the one that I imagine.

You're right about that Tim &mdash 11/12/07 - 09:19:35 PM
Will's a great writer - and has written a lot of poetry before I pulled him into this gambit. Glad you approved of the arrangement. Thanks for stopping by. [ Reply to This ]
Enjoyed &mdash 11/12/07 - 08:50:14 PM
A quiet song. Kind of sways, just like a lullaby should. Vocal is real smooth. Good job on this :)
Thanks

I give Will a lot of credit &mdash 11/13/07 - 08:01:08 PM
for his sustained performance. His guitar and vocal was laid down in one take to one track. He set the tone and tempo really well. [ Reply to This ]
Enjoyed... &mdash 11/12/07 - 08:54:29 PM
...I have always loved this particular set of chord modulations (the ones beginning each verse)...A very comfortable feeling to this song throughout. You don't muck it up with a lot of extras: just straight-forward, folksy playing and singing. I do like the occasional instrumental bridges. I wonder if a refrain or chorus would serve you well...a kind of summary of the lyrical thoughts throughout the number. It would also give you some room to breathe melodically. Just a thought. Glad I caught this number.
Peace.

I'm mostly a lyricist, dependent on brother Bud for the musical ideas. This series of chords I've been playing on my guitar for a long time, and I finally found a lyric that worked with them. Thanks for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. Working collaboratively with Bud for the last 10 months has been absolute blast. We both love the music! [ Reply to This ]
It's great... &mdash 11/12/07 - 10:52:26 PM
...that brothers can work so well together. You guys must be having a lot of fun. I'll look forward to hearing more of your collabs.

Production seems bigger and deeper. In some funny or odd way kind of reminds me of Harry Nilson - midnight cowboy track. why? I don't know. It's good that you and your brother have gone this extra step on your guys collaborations [ Reply to This ]
Grateful &mdash 11/13/07 - 09:20:31 PM
I'm grateful to everyone for your appreciation of Dream Song, especially regarding the lyrics and chord progression. This is my first post as a singer and songwriter (instead of just lyricist). Thanks for making it a positive experience, and thanks to Bud for his usual brilliance. [ Reply to This ]

That's my brother Will singing and playing his Yamaha in California direct to his Zoom H2. Then he emailed me the track and I built the rest. [ Reply to This ]

you enjoyed Dream Song. Bud turned me on to the H2 and that gave me the opportunity to do my first recording for mj, with Bud's collaboration and technical support. I'm looking forward to doing more of my own vocals and guitar work. [ Reply to This ]

Bud says you might be one listener who would dig the literary allusions. Did you pick up on them? [ Reply to This ]
