Description
this is a song i had written when i worked at a recording studio and brought home one of their RADAR-24 units to practise with and wrap my head around. using my bathroom as an iso booth, i tracked the banjo, bells and guitars. i later added some more stuff at the studio and mixed it. it was just for fun/practice, so i never thought to copy the source files before resigning from my post at that studio.
mj superstar, rsorensen, heard this track and loved it (maybe i'm overstating that) and thought he could write a decent melody and lyrics for it. i was sceptical, given the unusual instrumentation, but he came through in spades! amazing job, yet again, rs! and he recorded this track dead tired after singing TWO other songs earlier that evening. (i was engineering the recording.)
anyway, the musical track was already mixed and mastered, so what you are hearing is a music track that has been mastered twice. rsorensen's vocal had to be carefully squeezed in there, but i think we pulled it off. we may revisit this at some point in the future and try and squeeze drums in there too. (or just retrack the sucker.)

Lyrics
The end is here again my friend
For us to say goodbye to who we have been
As I ascend into the stars
My heart will stay with yours wherever you are
And though I am light years away
I can't wait until that day
When I will see you again
And the suns they burn so bright
They remind me of that night
When you looked into my eyes
And you made me realize
There was nothing I could do
About the fire within you
That flows throughout my veins
And takes away the pain
Again
My mission's over finally
I've brought so much for you to see
All things beautiful and new
But none of them compare to you
For us to say goodbye to who we have been
As I ascend into the stars
My heart will stay with yours wherever you are
And though I am light years away
I can't wait until that day
When I will see you again
And the suns they burn so bright
They remind me of that night
When you looked into my eyes
And you made me realize
There was nothing I could do
About the fire within you
That flows throughout my veins
And takes away the pain
Again
My mission's over finally
I've brought so much for you to see
All things beautiful and new
But none of them compare to you
