Title: Temple Mead - Finished
Post by: Billy on January 17, 2008, 10:51:53 AM
Temple Meade is a fictional place. It could be anywhere in London or New York.
If, like me, you live in a big sprawling metropolis you'll understand where I'm coming from with this song with all the best and very worst that it has to offer. I sat at Waterloo train station and just studied people as they went about their business (just for fun) Thanks for listening!

Drums - Mike Kosacek
All music, lyrics and vocals - Aidan
TEMPLE MEADE

Morning, grab a cup of life
And try to stretch my mind
Hoping, to miss the rain today
As I watch the time pass by
Down on the street
The noise won't give you no peace
In pursuit of gain
What inspires never restrains

All for the love of life
What a great and perfect world
Another day in Temple Meade

Differing times
That's a pattern of modern day living
What emerges from the trains
Crowds of workers in invisible chains
One girl sells her story
One guy buys a dream
Some seize the day
Others listen to what thier hearts say

All for the love of life
What a great and perfect world
Another day in Temple Meade

And as the city sleeps
The demons come out to play
But you don't worry
There's really no-one there

All for the love of life
What a great and perfect world
Another day in Temple Meade

Groovy !

Got a real lounge vibe to it.

I thought Temple Mead was real though ?  Bristol right ?

Hey Aidan, I've always loved this tune. Great lyrics you finished up with. But your vocals are the star to me. You have a great voice, I'd love to hear more of it. Maybe on some jazz! :-)

Sounds great guys - the drums and vocals are incredible  :)

(the synth sax gets me a bit, but I am a sax player)

Sounds really good - funky smooth and inetresting.

Temple Meads is a real place in Bristol, England. Isambard Kingdom Brunel built a big railway station there in 1840.

Thanks for your kind words guys!

It is indeed the name of the railway station in Bristol. Only a fellow Englishman would know that. Like London Bridge, it is only the name of the railway station... the place itself doesn't exist.
