Lyrics

Nothing

whistling firs bow low to the wind
catch a falling star from the skies

hear the whispered prayer begin
sense a million songs in your eyes

she only sings to get away
when things seem hopeless and there's nothing left to say

the whistling wind takes her away
there's nothing i can do to try to make her stay

(c)2007 Bill Grundmann

	better! Nicer mix than the prior... the singing feels better seated in the mix, but still remains clear and un-muddied. insert prior kudos here ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Death of the Phoenix (orchestral interlude)

	. thanks for swaying me into fixing the mix. i was experimenting with some very simple post-GarageBand mastering software, and ran afoul of an unexpected side-effect of non-linear peak rounding: it lets you turn up the gain, but it also relatively enhances the bass. you live and you learn... Check out my latest song called Transformer Altar (Live Wire)

	this is really great, a lot to digest here. i think this needs to go on the ipod and get a serious listen. very different for you, i really love those back-up vox. Check out my latest song called I Fell Behind

	Another one... ...for the headphones! Love the almost haiku-like lyrics. This is good music Bill. Really dig the arrangement. Mix is superb. Glad i found this one! Be well friend! Lethe (Song Of Er): http://www.macjams.com/song/37099

	. i decided to enter this tune into a contest at OurStage. http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/smokeyvw i'm happy to hear that you picked up the poetic meter on the lyrics - i wasn't thinking haiku, just going for simplicity... thanks Check out my latest song called Transformer Altar (Live Wire)

	Cool mix Neat contrast between the opening vocals and your own singing. I love the tinkly piano, too. Check out my latest song called Colorado Trail

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 957 days ago (December 15th, 2007)
	. i think the contrast might also enhance the sense of isolation between the people in this. this is a sort of "torch song" with a tinge of hopelessness. thanks Check out my latest song called Transformer Altar (Live Wire)

	I have that pic on the wall in my kitchen....however....I don't think that this is an "emo" song....just a good little rock tune....love the keys sounds....everything is layered nicely.......so why is your VW smokey?? Check out my latest song called Ground

	Kudos Bill :-) It is better. I don't know why the lyrics make me think of the title of one of Maya Angelou's books - and a line from another more recent song - "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Luv, Lil' Sis CJ (aka Angel)

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 957 days ago (December 15th, 2007)
	. this tune is mostly dwelling on an "ending" - but i suppose it might form half of a nice pair of bookends with some other tune about a "beginning" - hmmm... gotta think about that... thanks Check out my latest song called Transformer Altar (Live Wire)
