Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…

How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?

Last night I dreamed I was a dancer
In an old off Broadway show
And I danced with the girls in balcony
And I sang to the mezzanine row
It was Tin Pan Alley and Salvador Dali
At the curtain the crowd leapt to their feet
And I bowed and I…

Oh my sky
What has come between you and I?

Saw it in a movie
Watched it with the subtitles on
But my heart has overdrawn
Can I owe you some?

Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
