Lyrics

i thought i knew the way
coming 'cross the ice...
i thought i'd bought it 'til
i lost the fear of taking flight

as when gone into a sleep
-a sickness so deep
days recede to vague
and distant lights...

where the weight means nothing...

and now i would give up these things
-if only to see you there
but somehow i gave up my wings
-all for a breath of air...

	Very nice That's just a nice song. Fresh, original. I don't hear a lot of things like that. Great voice — reminds me just a hair of Peter Gabriel. Super lyrics. Just plain cool. I'd like to offer suggestions, but it's too darn cool a song to muck it up. Check out my latest song called Sold Out

I disagree
with Zendog....in that you don't sound a hair like Peter Gabriel, you sound uncanningly like him! BTW, he is one of my all time favs. Production is great. I especially like the way you merge into an uplifting beat toward the middle. Very good lyrics. There was one small thing that distracted me and that was the synth, primarily because I have heard it so many times before. However, I understand why you chose that sound as it adds to the mood of the song. I am very impressed with your stuff and will be watching for your posts.

	I disagree thanks for your posts-it's true, i love PG-this song is definately a nod to PG, blue nile, et al-i agree about the strings-i'm getting the jam pack 4 this week so i'll fix it up slightly and tweak the chorus a little-mean while i'll post some stuff that's a little different--thanks for your comments!

	But where's the costume? Yup, all that's missing is the black leotard and the big flower headress. Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	yeah , I like this. It's relaxing. Real comforting vocals. I like it a lot. Something bout your voice and words is really impressive. I don't know what it is, but its comforting. Really liked it. Mr. S Check out my latest song called MacJammer's Tribute

	Ditto in the Gabriel This song reminds me of one of my fave songs- Here Comes the Flood (sung by Peter Gabriel, of course). I agree with K.I.S.KISMET that the synths were a bit out of place, but this was a beautiful song! I wish it were a tad bit longer, but I guess you left me wanting more! Nice job! Check out my latest song called Monica's Waltz

	Like the voice . . . . . You do sound like Peter Gabriel. I like the style. I like it, it isn't overly done. I am hearing it again as I'm typing. Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	The Peter Gabriel Crackle The resembalance is uncanny. I find the song really bland and simple and it never opens up except for a far too fast and repetitive disco drum beat. Sorry, "Here Comes the Flood" eats this for breakfast. But I love the vocal style. Sing more!

Great vocals!
Again, Your vocals really stand out as the star. However your weakness would be in the composition of the song. This started out nice but, You need to punch it in a bit, rather than use the loops to make the song.

If you play an instrument, start with that and then use the loops as supporting material. Since we've all heard the loops in GB a thousand times they get old fast.

Check out my latest song called Smoove

	Another vote for Peter Gabriel It's good that you like PG, because you sound quite like him. This is a good song. Soulful, nice build-up. I like the sparse instrumentation. Unexpected combinations, but overall it works. I'm not crazy about the drum loop in the middle though. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

	Reminds me... of Seal. Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing. I'll hold off on voting and hope you include lyrics, artwork and stuff that puts the finishing touch on this masterpiece.

thanks!
thanks for all your comments-talk about peter gabriel
comparisons! i knew i'd listened to him a lot-i just didn't
know how much!
i agree the mid section is a little pale-i'll try some diff.
loops and i've got the jam pack 4 coming...i really want to
keep it in that 80's style though-another work in
progress-thanks for your kind posts.

p.s.-check out the 1st blue nile lp-huge!

	Beyond gravity Your poetic sense is stunning. And how you let your powerful lyrics pull everything along, and the music is like gravity keeping it afloat, absolutely wonderful. Truly artistic. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	Giving wings You like wings, a wonderful metaphor. Excellent companion piece with "angel of small". Mmm, such a fell your voice brings.

	said 1668 days ago (April 30th, 2005)
	Thank you... for adding the lyrics. I've voted. And this song gets very high marks from me. Very moving song. And eventhough your vocals are reminiscent of various famous artists, you have a style of performance all your own. Thank you very much for sharing your music here. Beautiful.

	Very Peter-Gabriel-esque Very impressive vocal....reminiscent of PG to say the least. I would agree with one of the previous comments about that disco-esque drumbeat in the middle. That's the only flaw I see in the song. Impressive :)
