It is my desire to free the inner child, to see like a child sees, to be in awe of my surroundings.
Wake up, little child, come out of hiding
I don't, i don't want to hurt you anymore

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…

I still miss John oh so very much. Nice cover! I'll be following you -- Rock on!
Great job!
Wow!
I dig the melody, and what a damn fine handle you have on your axe -- gorgeous!
Your a master not only of the keyboard but the fret board as well! Delightful!
This is a great mix down. It's an echo of -- to me, anyway -- "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd. Man, I'm thrilled you're here with us on AloneTone.
