Lyrics

Diamonds and pearls

Misty moon high above
The lower part of town
The air is full of love
The conversation is toned down

But something's changin'
There's danger in the air
A storm starts ragin'
But you don't seem to care

Diamonds and pearls
All for the girl
Diamonds and bullits
To stop the world

Neon lights are flashin'
The scene painted red
There's punchin' and smashin'
The actors hurt real bad

Like in a B-movie scene
You grab the girl, kisses so hot
You're so entangled in your dream
That you didn't hear the shot

Diamonds and pearls
All for the girl
Diamonds and bullits
To stop the world

KC february 2012

Music Noir: I love it
and the rest is damned cool. I guess the drums make it rock but it's very bluesy to me. How is it a vocal experiment? My only nit (as some say) is that it's too short: I'd suggest a lengthy instrumental break in there somewhere (maybe after the "shot"), before a return to the vocal/chorus. I'll say it again: damned cool. Thanks, I took a copy.

Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	DIAMONDS AND PEARLS KC this is excellent. Bluesy and very smooth. Lovin' the lyrics and your high and low vocals. Nice harmonies. The keys almost sound like a wurlitzer.

	Right up there Hey Cees, you are getting some really nice sounding drums these days. EZDrummer seems pretty good. This is up there with your best work, definitely. The next Bond movie theme, perhaps? Thanks for the post and D/L. Take care, Peter. Check out my latest song called Autumn Falling

	Always impressed. I am always impressed with your work. Without prying too much, may I ask, are you professional studio musician? Are you still playing in a band, because your sound, music and mix all tell me so! Love it, thanks for sharing. ttyl patty Check out my latest song called Derelict

Char	Char said 443 days ago (March 5th, 2012)

James Bond...
The opening guitars and bass just reminded me of a scene from a James Bond movie. (Not a bad thing!) This strikes me as film music...that little sax creeping in with just a note or two at strategic spots. The piece just lopes along and takes no prisoners along the way, moving at its own pace, leaving bystanders by the roadside with mouths agape. You've really created a mood here and you are honest about how to deliver it. Nicely done and much enjoyed.

diamonds
cool 3am music. the low voice works well cees. good choice. you should be a voice-over artist doing hollywood action movie trailers....and aftershave.
ok back to the music. yeah....definitely conjures up images of a domestic bust up, a walk-out and rain....lots of rain. good delivery on 'didn't hear the shot'. this is a cool track....sorry i got here late.
