Description

This is a submission for the Lost Song Project. Of course you have to guess who I'm trying to rip off. Artist and album. It's probably a heavier track then "the boys" had intended.

Lyrics

Crazy Star

you lost your head past the clouds
we threw you a rope to bring you down
oh how we tried to hush the sounds

crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind

on a sharp steel edge you slipped your mind
we are picking up the pieces you left behind
crazy star you burned so bright
now dark holes fill your mind

demented memories gone to far
fly on the wall held your calls
lost all outside contact after all

you threw away the key to you cell
talking to no one on a panic to fail
oh how we should have read the writing on the wall

crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind

on a sharp steel edge you slipped your mind
we are picking up the pieces you left behind
crazy star you burned so bright
now dark holes fill your mind

crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind

Dark Side of the Moon?
Just a guess. It's all the echoes on the vocals and "slidy" guitar which remind me.

Great song anyway. Superb arrangement and playing as always.

So you moved from LE? (you probably did a while back but I never noticed) I never got my head around LE let alone full blown Logic.

You're definitely using it to good effect.

Cheers

Dick

	Err Pink Floyd on the album 'Wish you were here', thats my guess. Very good track, I love it. Well done VIC. All elements are very well done. (Note: Your voice actually sounds like Peter Gabriel, and thats no bad thing.) Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)

	just a guess... definitely floyd! definitely a great tune! i'd have to say momentary lapse of reason for the album though...has that "just after waters left" feel to it, to me anyways. let me know if i'm correct. great tune again man, great tune! age -sons of hypnos Check out my latest song called Liar's Oath (sons of hypnos w/heightened)

Peter Bauckham	Peter Bauckham said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Well I'll go along with Pink Floyd but as to which album? Something pre-dating DSOTM perhaps - Meddle... although the lyrics rather hint at Wish You Were Here? Great track! Peter Check out my latest song called All The Same (CBGB) (Last Chance Challenge)

	Love it Whooo, this is fabulous. I mean fabulous in its own right aside from its Floydiness. There is something Dark Side Of The Moon about it ... it has just the kind of dark intensity which belongs to that album. Nice one! Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 725 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Thanks Rebsie well the band I'm emulating did tend to go after the dark side of the human psyche on most of there. albums. Alot of help I am :-) Check out my latest song called November

No idea who it is... ;-)
But seriously (and that wasn't my guess - I don't think it's Phil Collins!), it's seems obvious that it's Pink Floyd, but I think people have the timing wrong. Wish You Were Here fits lyrically, but the sound fits better with Animals or The Wall. I'm really intrigued to find out which album you were going for.

Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

	said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	I'm with you on this Maybe more toward the earlier albums... Cool song

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 725 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	i guess we spill the beans in a week who knows maybe there is a unknown anthology album they never released. without Phil Collins of course Check out my latest song called November

bud	bud said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	"Crazy Star you shined so bright" kinda seals the deal on Wish You Were Here - but that could be a clever red herring. Still I'm gonna go with it. Great track Vic. I've only listened to 4 entries so far and I'm having a blast. Check out my latest song called try not to think

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 725 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	red herring in the sky yes I also am getting the greatest kick out of listening to all the entries. this is a really fun event Check out my latest song called November

J.A.Stewart	J.A.Stewart said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Nice Emulation of the Floyd feel. Much of musical chronology is a blur to me now, but I'm guessing, because of the two lyrical references to the wall that it falls sometime after that landmark work. My second guess is The Monkees from their Head album. lol Great-sounding work, Vic. ;) --- Joe Check out my latest song called A Night @ Neverland

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 725 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	monkee do actually I had been thinking of doing a variation of the porpoise song. but my voice would sound out of place. Check out my latest song called November

Floyd...

.. heavy version .. the chords give a hint .. then
the first verse vocal melody was very Roger Walters ..
but other bits chorus (say) sound earlier Floyd .. making an album choice hard .. but I'd go with "Wish you were here".

This is such a cool game - wicked results! Influences on sleeves too ...

Awesome Vic, geetar is inspired. Fine mix too.

Check out my latest song called Misplaced

jgurner	jgurner said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	I was going to say... ...Brittany Spears originally, but, I'll go along with everyone else and say Pink Floyd. As for which album, not a clue. Awesome though. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

michael2	michael2 said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	damn you i know it's Floyd, and the crazy star thing is definitely Wish You Were Here, but that echo on the vocals (haunt your mind) is going to make me go with Animals. This is an awesome track Vic, although you could have made it easier if you put some dogs barking. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

	said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Very cool... At first... I was thinking Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. Then I thought for sure it was Peter Noone, frontman for Herman's Hermits (who, btw, lives here in S.B.). ;) But I will defer to the consensus choice of Floyd.

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 724 days ago (December 2nd, 2007)
	Herman Holman well either way the character here is on a mind bender. :) Check out my latest song called November

peacepiano	peacepiano said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Ditto I would place this as heavy "Wish you were here", too slick and bluesy for early floyd to my ears. Thanks Bill Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

jiguma	jiguma said 726 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Bloody terrific Excellent song in it's own right, but love the Flloyd references - very subtle they are too :) Amazing production Vic - I suspect PF would have been happy with this. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

stevel	stevel said 725 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	Definitely got a Floyd feel ..difficult to pinpoint the album as its a mix of the spaciness of Meddle coupled with the aggression of The Wall. Really cool track! Steve Check out my latest song called Electricity

	said 725 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	Pink Floyd :-) Love "Wish You Were Here" and what was that other one? Something about "Lunatics"! ? ! (just going with some of your past song post snippets of lyrics. Kudos, Bro! Shine on you crazy diamond in the rough out on the "Mall" range lassoing the sky! CJ (aka. Angel)

	Hey Floyd? err... I mean Vic, haha. I had to come back to leave a comment because I thought you'd like to know how much I'd diggin' this track! Nice job, sir! To me it seems like it would fit in nicely with Dark Side of The Moon, but wadda I know?

It's a good thing that everyone else...
...seems to know who's emulating who on these Lost Songs.
I keep looking out for Beethoven and Bach...

But seriously, my lack of knowledge hasn't taken away from enjoying these songs.

This is very cool--dark, driving, haunting. You get a fabulous, big sound and a great intensity in those vocals. Kudos! :)

	demented memories Vic, what a great track. You should do a whole LSP CD :-) Just the right mix, vocals and guitars meshing nicely. That guitar at the end (actually the whole end part) is outstanding. Check out my latest song called Texas stump

	Your voice is getting EXCELLENT! You're really starting to put some muscle into those vocals, and the result is really impressive. A little hint of Peter Gabriel, but still Vic and Vic alone. My guess is Pink Floyd... off the Wish You Were Here. OOooooOOOR... how about Klaatu off the Endangered Species album? It would really fit, and that would be a sly manuevre and a half!

	Wowsa What a killer track, Vic and you just nailed the sound of 'the boys,' right to the wall, which is the album I have to go with. The outro sounds as though it could segue right into, "Is There Anybody Out There?" Check out my latest song called Black Star (MJ Live Aid w/jgurner)

Well
This is really awesome, whoever it is. It all definitely sounds familiar, but I'm going to have to go with The Wall. Which reminds me, I've got to break that album out again. The guitar leads have a real Gilmore feel to them, and the chord progression, song topic, mix, effects and slightly desperate vocals all make me think Floyd. Awesome.
