Lyrics

Round in Circle

When I look at the picture
I see something I can’t describe
Now I’m older, no richer
There’s nothing I haven’t tried

Round in circles, no need for all this panic and pain
Round in circles, let’s not give up on this wonderful game

When I look into the mirror
Exploring the back of my mind
I struggle hard to remember
Memories I’ve held inside

Falling again

Round in circles, no need for all this panic and pain
Round in circles, let’s not give up on this wonderful game

When I think of my old dreams
And what we all have become
We don’t know what we’re doing
We don’t know where we’re from

Falling again

	Too early to look at that picture for too long but the song sounds great. Indeed there's really good definition to the mix. Nice work with the synth textures or flanged guitar - not sure which. Good use of strings too - and a really sweet chorus. Excellent post Dave. Check out my latest song called ditto

lavalamp	lavalamp said 977 days ago (September 22nd, 2010)

Lamp
Wicked little detune intro.
Guitars are subtle and nicely played especially the lead work which I'd really effective.
The bass in the verse is one if my favourite elements. Solid drums propel this along nicely and the vox are suitably great. The backing/echoed vox aren't immediately noticeable, almost subliminal but now I'm focussed on them I'm noticing how effective they are in the song.
Smart arrangement too!

	Scratching the surface? I'll let you in on a little secret; I can't sing. And I'm surprised when I can get it to be passable. I think the ceiling has been reached as far as my vocals, but thanks for the vote of confidence. lol Hope you liked the song. LL Check out my latest song called A Funky Little Thing

	yo, mick as in Jagger. that verse is very mick-ish, i dig it. great phrasing. i like the off kilter chorus too, although it took a listen or two to get used to it - really like the soft rock quality, that was a cool compositional choice.
