Lyrics

I See You

(i) try to hold -- this moment
the essence -- of being me
i know -- your present
i sense -- the ever-branching tree

(i) fly free -- at the speed of light
raise me -- through a tunnel
filled with my life

(i) float away -- through the ceiling
someday -- you'll understand
try to hold -- this feeling
i know -- you hold my hand

i c u

i <3 u

(c)2009 Bill Grundmann

	I See You bill....is there no end to your creativity? if i was in a room full of beeping things, i don't think i'd be as calm as this! Very cool REAL music! Check out my latest song called Blind Love (Seeing Heart) - Orchestral Version

	. the benefit of emotional distance provided by time: this is partly based on my memory of the sound of an Emergency Room - and the idea that it can be matter of life and death in such places... thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Beauty Bill Did you make your own keyboard loops and cut them up for this? I like the truncated phrase that repeats and the fluidity of the vocal - then it's all Isaac Hayes and stuff. Very nice. Blippy. Check out my latest song called ditto

	. take a drum loop and play it on an electric piano. tweak the notes and the accompanying chords until they sound nice together. now split the piano track into separate tracks that each contain only one or two of the pitches from the initial track, so they can be panned and faded in and out individually. glad you liked it! thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Love the beeping, poinging blips. Oh, that is so inviting. Then, you get all existential with that studly voice. And then, you samba-lypso, half of the time sauntering and the half of the time approaching purposefully. Dangerous and endearing, Smokey. So freaking creative! Thanks. Check out my latest song called The Sea

	. thank you for the careful listen! it did get a bit existential didn't it? Check out my latest song called RUOK

Doug Somers	Doug Somers said 1550 days ago (February 22nd, 2009)
	This just got better and better as it went on. The strings, electric piano and rhythm take me back to a sense of the 70s. This is very nicely put together, and the evocative lyrics give it a unique feel that wraps up the rest of the package just perfectly. Great piece! Be well, Doug Check out my latest song called The Asteroid [Doom2012]

	Bill .... Like Len ... this demanded multiple listens and a download. I must tell you how innovative and original this sounds ... but then you are the great VW and this is what you do. Impressed and smiling ... Thanks Bill ... a great audio trip !! Check out my latest song called 12

	I like your spoken word pieces and the background is groovy. (is that still a word?) I don't know how you manage to mix deep calm with frantic haste, but it's very creative. :-) Check out my latest song called Emma, by davisamerica
