Inspired by the Rush classic RED BARCHETTA
My music can be described as an ecclectic blend of Progressive Rock, Alternative, acoustic, & Celtic elements.
Story behind the song
Originally written in 1996, and re recorded 2009. The new version had guitars and bass added- the original had all MIDI bass, synths, drums, but real vocals.
Synths are SONIK SYNTH 2
Lyrics
(machine) "...I am morphing with machine
Two become one
Feeling it's pulse and it feeling mine
All systems check- we're ready to run....."
Was I in a dream, or on the Autobahn,
Nothing around, nothing to stop me now?
Moving at the speed of light
Senses out of control
was I being watched by a force
out on patrol?
-Moving at the speed of light
nothing can stop me-stop me now
Moving at the speed of light
nothing can stop me-
it's not in sight........
Over on the other side
What is there, is still unknown
The road is winding, shifting, turning
Aimlessly, I'm all alone.....
My nemesis is waiting there
This deadly game of cat and mouse
Will see who's worthy
of this noble joust
-Moving at the speed of light,
can he stop me- stop me now
Moving at the speed of light,
we're getting close
it's getting tight.......
Watching the road go by and by
the danger comes and goes
there's nothing to fear
there's everything to win
My heart is racing with the car
Adrenaline at large,
I'm close to the edge,
I'm heading for home
-Moving at the speed of light,
can he stop me- stop me now
Moving at the speed of light,
we're getting close
it's getting tight.......
Watching the road go by
Nothing to fear
Everything to win
Close to the edge
I'm headed for home
Watching the road go by and by and by
Nothing to fear again
Nothing
Nothing
Never again...........
Paul, Very cool song. I heard so many influences here. The synth brought the Butthole Surfers to mind, then the Cars, towards the end, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. All of your synth sounds still original in their own way. Definitely up my alley. Now I have to check out what else you got. BobMc
