I was listening to Jims beautiful instrumental and it struck a chord ...so here it is Thanks Jim.....
Shadow of a man (Lyrics)
As i look in the water i see a reflection of what i was
i see the strong man who could have done what ever he wants…
This works :-)
I'm still very fond of the original instrumental, so I was a bit worried what might have happened. But no, no need to have worried... this is great. Obviously the focus is on the vocal instead of the fantastic guitars, but I like the contrast in the styles of the two of you. And great lyrics.
Nice work chaps!

Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man
you know you’d send me crazy you know that i’m not sound when you leave me…
NO! NO NO NO!
Reg, in western Kansas, where I was raised, if a coyote killed a calf, we would put cyanide into it's carcass in hopes that the coyote would return to feed again. That's how you could tell a smart coyote from a dumb one. You would never see the smart one again. The dumb ones would be found next to the carcass.
My point is, if you are in anyway contemplating reuniting with Desiree, remember this story.

HARD DRIVE HOME
the clouds form
the sun has gone
the rain begins to falls
what was it
what did it i do
what turned our love into stone
what makes me listen to the love songs…

on the sand & the mud & the clay
that an ancient science
said we were all made out of

fabulous song by the brilliant late robert calvert from my favourite album of his, Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters
I see myself a Hero
While one wings falls away
And the dial…
~
Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…
A track written by Alex over 10 years ago and yet the lyrics seem more relevant today than they even were back then. Recorded and mixed by other Spencer sibling, Tomas.
~Essence of a musical box with the ballerina spinning around and around~ /as Bethan said/
~
Calm the night, unstirring,
And the air so clear
Pearls of dew uncurling,
Moonlight rays unfurling
’Cross the glassy mere.
Dulcet waves appeasing…
I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic.
SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
THE SUN SHINES…
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Absolutely charming!
You're an effortless lyricist...absolutely wonderful collab.
Great collab dudes.
It's a classic!
What an addition!! Seriously good Mr. Regs.

Classic Reg! Fantastic voice; the pain of love.
Dynamic collaboration!
I love this!! excellent!
Very refreshing presentation. I like the message "All I needs is love". Reminds me of one of my heros . . . Tom Waites.
